Well done.
The description of an Antifa
style Government ruling
in the USA or
what was the USA
shows how truly
anti-fascist they are.
Revenge is a dish best served cold.
A scenario like this
without the mind readers
is a distinct possibility
in the current political evolution
we are living in
or moving into.
Technocracy
Transhumanism
Scientism
Medical tyranny
Corporacracy
4th Industrial Revolution
The culling of the population
Global Social Score System
Digital Banking
5G/6G A. I.
Bravo Sierra Climate Crisis
Zero Carbon Emissions
Tracking and Tracing
Total Control Grid
So which is it
Art imitates life
or
Life imitates art
Final statement.
The Ameriivision System
Is recording for posterity
the actions of the evil
and
Ten Commandments breaking.

Really enjoyed that! Superb cast. Amazing how invested we, the audience, can get in so short a time.
It can be a challenge to set the dystopian context of a future society but here it was done stylishly.
No idea what tune the first guy was humming, but I think it might've been helpful to introduce the Bolero with a scene to illustrate its significance to father and daughter, since I'm not sure how many young people nowadays would know and recognise the tune, so how come a child in this brave new world does
The action was really well choreographed and the fight scenes looked fantastic. The twist at the end was very effective.

I love dystopian sci-fi and this was a good one. I like Orwell (a lot) and critiques about Bentham's Panopticon, and this was a beautiful marriage of both.
But it never ceases to amaze me how everyone thinks that the OTHER guy is the Orwellian one, and NEVER themselves. Everyone imagines themselves as the insurgent, and never the evil fascist in the uniform.
Alas. The real world isn't quite as simple as the dystopian parody of it, and more often than not, authoritarianism can look oh so innocent and humane, much to the ruin of humanity

Wow! The best I’ve seen yet on these SciFi shorts! The storytelling is very coherent, with an emotionally striking beginning leading to an avenging heroine who ousts her father’s murderer. Many of these shorts become so ambiguous that it becomes more of a tiring puzzle than entertainment! The actors deliver such a compelling performance as to engage the audience directly into their world! Love the Bolero theme which masterfully articulates the plot!

its a damn shame you can only press the like button once. brilliant all the way round. concept, storyline, actors and filming. thank you. heres to seeing your work on a much bigger scale for all to appreciate. and. to seeing this story in particular in a series or full length cinema soonest.
reply

Well done. A little more back story would be beneficial. I suggest a series. Back stories, history of the progression of the readers. I can think of many a series toptic. Geez, this could go far. What happened to mom Dad Her bringing and by who
reply

THAT was excellent! I'm sure that cost a few dollars to produce. But it was well worth it! Amazing writing, acting, direction, and sound! That was first rate! Great story and great work! I look forward to more.
reply

Have you ever wondered whether some of these DUST shorts are created by an AI
I have never tried to track down the names in the credits to see if they are real people.
Anyway, I liked this one. Good AI.

reply

The real problem with this one is that the essential premise of Bolero - a theme insistently building to a crescendo - is never used. The name is simply attached, for no particular reason, to the movie.

06: 18 It's 2022 and the thief calling himself the President of the United States setting in the White House wants the Dept of Homeland Security to form a Bureau of Truth--Orwellian Watch and learn.
reply

I don't think Maurice Ravel envisioned his music to be such a integral key in a tale of a dark society. I noticed that the crescendo was not reached, perhaps this means she does make her escape
reply

This is one of my all time Dust favorites. It is so sharp and classy. I love the bad guy. And the heroine is so intense. The ASL adds a great nuance. Thank you. Wish this was 2 hours long.
reply

that stop motion zoom out was friggin beautiful. overall a bit thick with the third reich tropes, but thats just me. also, that msmr song was right on the nose. :)
reply

Great story, great background. This would make a great RPG-background (and I love Ginger, both kid as adult.
Love, grrd
Own edit, Maya of course. My bad.

reply

How do you find these wonderful actors and actresses - most I haven't seen in Hollywood but sure got good skills. The entire production is a masterpiece.
reply

Very, very well done. Held me the entire time. Sets, tech, action, acting, character development, story line. all very well created and executed.
reply

this is more than just a good short film. it has more depth and character than many whole movies with huge budgets. great work, and thank you.
reply

Acting was beyond incredible, very natural, cameras, sounds, scenery, supreme short film, we need more, let's vote to make it happen.
reply

I like it, but in the bar all the extras look like the old people and neck beard off the street or stage hands. Breaks the immersion.
reply

I can't find any info on the badass song from the middle of the film. I want to find it and listen to it a few times in a row
reply

Wow! This is fantastic. Hoping this will be a movie or series. The actresses who portrayed Maya at both stages are phenomenal.
reply

Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety
reply

I think it was brilliant! I loved the character development and the storyline. Thank you, keep making movies.
reply

These shorts are very addictive. I’m saying just one more and an hour and a half later I’m still here.
reply

Perhaps this is a glimpse of what’s to come. Anytime the government discovers a talent they weaponize it.
reply

Bolero is one of my favorite classical masterpieces. Haven't heard it in decades. Gotta go listen.
reply

What song is that played during the scene at the tables and at the end of this movie It’s cool music
reply

interesting but noticed all sci-fi seems to be violent, sort ruins it for me. too much in life.
reply

Yes, the story is interesting, alluring. Really nice plot. She, however, she is soooo pretty.
reply

That was a great trailer for a potential series. What a great character, more please!
reply

WeLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL. skinny little cute girl beats up evil MAN! What an original theme.
reply

She was pretty and special as a child and as an adult. Very well done once again.
reply

Excellent short! Hope there's more to come. Could definitely be a movie or series.
reply
