Great acting by little Ms Moore. But thumbs down by me because I always feel cheated by the dream meme surprise ending twist which contradicts the praise of imagination in the Einstein quote. At my age I've seen too many of these disappointing endings. Maybe a better twist to reveal that her awakening to the happy ending was the actual dream and she did land on a planet having escapes a catastrophe after all. So maybe in the scenario presented in this film she is really hoping her dream will come true Poor dad! So much for happy Father's Day from your Calvin-like daughter! As in Calvin and Hobbes, that is.

I love the quote at the end. It's very true. I'm a smart guy but truthfully i don't really the ending. It's not imagination but more of a surreal fantasy one might experience at death. I'm human tho so i know i won't ever get everything. No matter my confusion P-L-E-A-S-E never stop making movies. The imagery and effects were awesome! I'm excited to see what you all do next. Thank you for this gem.

Wait. they're literally orbiting a planet, and her father thinks there's not enough oxygen in that capsule, for the couple of minutes it apparently takes, to de-orbit and land! He lying! He just wanted to get rid of her! And justifiably so, she has a weird imagination!

Given Australia's lack of a space program, the carboard toy spaceship will be as close as they get to space travel.
However, given the number of Australians seen in Dust films, in the future, Australians will be a cheap and disposable source of astronauts and crew.

That was an ultimately cute, imaginative story. I wasn't sure where the story was going as her life-pod plummeted through Earth's atmosphere only to then see the little girl on the couch in a clean dress. The visions of a child's mind. Nicely done!
reply

I won't rag on the movie because for the most part I think it was very well done. Im just stuck on the little girl pretending her dad gets blown up while she gets irradiated shortly before crashing to earth. Kinda a twisted lil chick IMO.

Logic will get you from A to B
Imagination will take you everywhere
But mostly DEAD in the real world
If you plan on as being your savior.
Example
Insanity like believing men can get pregnant.

Bravo! Well done! I’m a Dad. That choked me up. I would do the same for my daughter. Loved that it was all a child’s imagination. The dreams we could achieve if we all still did that.
reply

This brought tears to a big, grown man, who is also a father of a young girl, eyes. What a great short film AND that little girl has a bright acting future ahead of her!
reply

Well I took it different than everyone else. The last thing he said I will see you on the other side. She didn’t survive the landing. That’s just how I took it.
reply

Upvote, and no profanity necessary. When the story is genuinely gritty, I get it. But a few of these short films smack of lazy writing when profanity is overused.
reply

DUST, please normailse sounds levels to the video with your DUST outro.
Not too bad on this one, but some the volume difference is Huge!

The escape pod immediately made me think of the glass elevator from the Gene Wilder version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
reply

It’s 3 in the morning, I’m stoned and wanted to watch a short before bed this was great and (no spoilers given!
reply

Oh, my daughter and I just LOVED this! Thank you so much for inspiring another generation of astronomers! :D

Such a true statement. Imagination takes us away from all the issues of life. to a vacation from ourselves
reply

imagination of kids is remarkable althouge i think it come from the nauural attachment to there parents
reply

But movie is great.

reply

Hello everyone, i like watch it, but can you subtitel indonesia Because this video very cool.
reply

I was never given a reason to care about her or her dad.
Great child actor. Natural skill

reply

I feel jipped. Especially since dads for myself and my son are non existent. Sperm donors at best.
reply

Lol so in her playtime she imagine’s her daughter dying blowing up on a spaceship, lovely child Lol
reply

This is how you want bad experiences and sad movies to all end. You wake-up from a bad dream!
reply

I’m here for the comments. So funny and very creative. Thank you all for the support.
reply

My mother always taught me that if you can’t say something nice dont say anything at all.
reply

I was going to say that escape pod looked like it had been designed by a kid.
reply

You see. You can get an ending, with an explanation, and it's still really good. ;)
reply

Who tells their kid a story for fun where they die and the kid has to be all alone
reply

Why is there only one small escape pod on such a large space station
reply

She's a bit old for naps, besides, she has dark dreams or she's dead.
reply

You already get a like for having a silent explosion in space! =D
reply

Well done, Zahlee. The scene in the pod was brilliantly acted.
reply

Second chances do exist. when Fathers save their children : -)
reply

Great story even though it was only
A dream. Good story

reply

Nah this was really good! The kid is such a beautiful actor.
