Thats so weird, because it makes actually sense, after all the experience with the pandemic everywhere, so many on lockdown. I was born in 79, we don't have internet, smartphones or computer. we have to go outside, if we want to connect with others. Today everything is a bit different, i saw it with my kids, one is beginning of her twentys and the little one is 8 years old. my daughter used to play outside with her friends, my son did it too, but at the same time he is obsessed with technic and smartphone and the way we could connect with others through technic and internet. it's a whole different world.
I like this short movie, because i started thinking after, about the situation, about society, family and friends and loneliness. It's a great plot and the characters are well played, in this little story is so much more after the first view! Thank you so much for your work, it was amazing to watch!

I wasn't interested so much into the vivian story, but more to the background story told through the narratives and the untold, I do not know how the director, the actor or something else, the obnoxioussity (not a word) of the app to please the oppression of the outside, the nervousness of every one, they live on edge then the attack what happened to be worse than 9/11 that checked a society to the core, THAT IS THE STORY I WANT TO KNOW and I know it would be good because this because swipe up is perfect

I know enough about filmmaking to understand the effect of sometimes proceeding a scene-change with the sound from the next-scene BEFORE the visual segue to the scene itself. but, starting the shower-sound ( 5: 56) while she was STILL sitting in bed was a little weird, for a moment I thought that someone ELSE (Katrina) was in her bathroom and had turned on the shower.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who got that image strongly.
It definitely caused a moment of confusion.

This is what i want, the biggest human settlement on the planet for the present and future good. we can all talk to each other but according to the self created law but the point is who will create such law which will be beneficial for all the people. so the computer do the rest. AI will collect all like minded people and we live together though. that's the thought

As someone who constantly challenges the idea of dating apps such as Tinder, this film finds a really endearing way to use the concept. A light-hearted film like this is exactly what I want more of in the near-future dystopias. Love the horror and action, but every once in a while. you just gotta smile: )
reply

Hi! Very well done! I just made a film as well and would love it if you would watch and/or criticize it if you didn't like it. I would like ways to improve my film making especially since I will be making more in the near future! Thanks!
reply

It doesn't make much sense, it seems a Black mirror episode. Apart from that, first of all 4 years have passed, since the bomb went off, so why are people still forbidden to leave their home and walk in the streets The conclusion is also weird
reply

A great example of how Sci-Fi doesn't have to be all dystopian and depressing, that even in the worst of circumstances, there are a few rays of light worth stepping into to know that you can still shine.
reply

Stop pushing your alternative lifestyle. Not interested. More and more of these are becoming woke crap.
You realise that families are needed for a society. Where do you think the kids come from.

reply

Regardless of the ending, sending someone you don't know a gift to their address without asking first really is a hugely creepy act and a sign that someone isn't going to respect your boundaries.
reply

Can't get out because of COnstant VIolence Yeah, exactly, there are thugs with badges outside using violence against peaceful people pretending to harm them for their own good.
reply

Wonderful, charming little story for a cyberpunk dystopia. :) I would haaaaaaaaaaaaaaate that holographic AI smartphone/social media system even more than the curfews though.
reply

So she hears a neighbor apparently get shot and doesnt even call police Shes so self absorbed it makes me not want to watch her at all.

A Week With Rebecca is the BEST DUST video I've ever seen. It brought tears to my eyes at the end. Great romantic story.
reply

if you're ever choking and alone, slam your diaphragm over the edge of a chair in an upward motion. That should work

Got a joke for you.

This was great. I loved the potential in it for great things to come. more on the world please!

What kind of dating app would match a white woman with africans, what kind of nonsense is that!

Second fanboy comment: LOVE that you used Chicago's Marina Towers for the apartment!
reply

Not bad, not bad at all. She said she had to go to work did she just say that or what was her job
reply

Really enjoyed this. Great characters and I liked Vivian’s empathetic friend. Nice ending.
reply

I think this was more of a biography than a sci fi film. The comparison is too easy to make.
reply

From this point on I am going to start using my horoscope to explain away my bad behavior
reply

Welcome to 2021.
I had hoped it would be better than 2020, but FJB. and the CCPV.

reply

Good story and production but I'm kind of sick of shoving woke culture down my throat
reply

Honestly, she should never talk to her sister again. So many boundaries crossed.
reply

Dear Hollywood. this is what a gay relationship ACTUALLY looks like, take notes.
reply

swipe the F off, need approval, ask my mum. Or yours, Who choses, maybe me, or not
reply

Yeah. the dating problems of attractive people are of exactly zero interest to me.
reply

Vivian's top draw is why I am always in the kitchen at house parties: )
reply

Hologram lady seemed cool and impressive special effects. Plot blew though, sorry.
reply

Addison, I enjoyed all three of your stories and I hope there more to follow.
reply

I might consider swiping up, but I've only got a basic flip phone. : )
reply

well that was a nice one for a change, wasn't all depressy and murderous.
