Sci-Fi Short Film: Dreadspace - DUST
video description
I invest in these kids futures. I try to be that person who they can come to no matter what. Ive have many of them ask me if Im REALLY a grown up over the years. Never fails to touch me. They see grown ups as too busy, not interested in their stuff, never playing. So they cant believe Im one of them. Ive had a couple of them stop playing fantasy games (last time it happened I was playing a ninja princess with a magic ring) to inform me that its not actually real. I always disagree and tell them magic is real.
Even my nephew sitting on my lap when Im in the fridge getting him food and reading the labels with him so he knows whats what is super rewarding to me lol. He loves when I read things to him. No one takes the time to read him labels. Hes not in school yet but hes curious and I am absolutely obsessed with and ruled by curiosity so I try to foster that in pretty much everyone I interact with. You literally cannot be bored or run out of things to do if youve got curiosity.

you have grand kids, and you have hands out all the time - you have snoops going through your drawers all the time when they visit = you have children telling those grandkids what they will get when grand moneybags die -- so basically society took a wrong turn and tech did not fill the void of soul - virtual reality to be with grandkids - nope those self-centered little bastards can hang out some place else with their self-centered parents - and won't everybody be most amused when the will says humane society gets everything - so it's a good thing I never had kids because apparently I learned all these lessons in some past life and managed to keep that insight alive when I was born into this life -- which reminds me of prison serving line when you see the guys holding their trays out while some other guy smacks a gob of something green onto a plate on the tray next - this video though well done and filmed makes me sick.

This is a great film done by some very gifted people at what they do, I would predict there was an extra market for these types of films where if there was a small fee, for the film production of between 10p-25p, or upto 40cents us, cost to watch per film, these types of films would attract paying customers for a small fee, as far as marketing goes, just an udea, same with ebooks, costs are brought down, people could be swayed morally to pay smaller fees for better work, & talent end of.

This is brilliant. simply brilliant. Engaging storyline, excellent cross-genre context and a real sense of engagement. We cared about the characters and what happened to them, even in the dual avatar / real life sense of the story. The visuals are sumptuous and the live action / in-game video blend was really well done.
An absolute cracker, and the best of anything DUST has put out in the past year.
Very well done to all involved.

The story about the boy and the grandfather was great but the video was very violent for a young fella or anyone to be making. I wouldn't have played it with him. I'd prefer to play something over zoom or just talk on the phone. I don't think it's any great achievement to be making video games like these for a living. There is enough death and war in the world as it is and it's very real.

I watched this about a month ago and since I watch ALOT of Dust I didn't recognize the name. Of course, as soon as I started watching, I recognized it, and usually I stop and find another. But I couldn't quite remember the ending. So glad I watched again ! This, to me at least, is an amazing short in only 15 minutes! LOVE IT!

For a low budget short film this was fantastic! I'm not big on child actors as they seem pretentious most of the time, but this kid did very well. So did grampa. And some of those stunt guys! Getting flipped like that! I'd like to see a full length film from these folks. Same actors, too.

I read the title wrong and I got all excited thinking it was a short about the game dead space the horror video game franchise. I kept expecting to see mutated people pop out at the players. I still liked the storyline though. And it did have a nice message.

This reminds me of my grandson and myself. I have not played a game system in a whole lot of years. I bought one so when he came over, we could spend some time doing something he loves to do. Trying to show Mema what button to push was most of the afternoon.

Well done! Simple and brilliant decision to show the full face 'inside' the goggles for the real actors! I think that the makers of Ready Player One should consult with YOUR TEAM if they decide to do a sequel! Keep at it, you are doing great work!

Every generation has its own challenges for connection. This presentation is excellent. Sometimes, getting uncomfortable in unfamiliar surroundings is the path that leads to meaningful connection. Beautifully presented!

Again, Dust presents us with another movie short that tries a totally new storyline but in the VR world. A grandson and grandfather getting to know each other while playing a VR game. Another great movie short from Dust.

Amazing and creative! I loved when the character of Billy stood still and his mom took away the controller and his character did random stuff. You had to be high to come up with those ideas. Great

That was an interesting take on the generational tech divide. Way to go grandpa! Age, infirmity, don't know the game, VR weirdness - all that be damned, he's gonna defend his grandson!

I had troubles up to the very last minute, to judge whether the avatars were cgi or real actors. I get it, they are actors, but amazing makeup.
Also: amazing story. Very relatable.

Overall volume of programming unacceptable. Makes viewing useless. When announcements come on for 'Dust', blows you out the window. Nice. Just like broadcast tv during the 60's.

Maybe an ultra-violent FPS game isn't the best one to play with your grandpa when he can't handle the excitement (grin) I suspect they'll be playing it again over Spring Break, though!

Hey, pretty corny. Yet, old stories are the best stories. Well done.
Spielberg does the same thing. Takes old-cornball emotions, and puts them into a well-made story.

As prevalent as technology like this is to some I believe the majority of people on earth don't have a clue. As someone who has worked and lived in Silicon Vally!

Such a great film! I could see myself in there with my grandkids, I'm terrible at video games! And this expresses how much these generations need each other.

Wholesome. It shows that technology seems soulless, distant and harsh at first, but it doesn't actually have to be bad, or keep people apart.
