Meh, a bit simplistic and over-the-top cartoonishly evil, apologies. Why would humans submit to this and not resist Why turn children over, especially if squiddies had a reputation of non-payment If they arrived so quickly with minimal escort, why not use that against them and set up ambushes Why would the kid not run away if it was kidnapped and not restrained in any way Why did the dude's bodyguards show up, only to basically abandon him as soon as he left the shop Just. no.
The Flash Gordon-stlye hologram dude is a nice touch, though!
It could serve as a cigarette ad in a pinch, too.

This could be a great series. The only corny thing was when the alien had the grenade inside of him and just waved his arms around helplessly. Why couldn't he just pull it back out If it was put in, it can be taken out. That made no sense. Other than that, it was pretty good! It had a somewhat 90's sci-fi feel to it (apart from the modern sci-fi style music, which I LOVE! (The broken toughened cop/ex-cop with his sense of nobility still intact - even though it took some convincing)

I usually try to have my wallet and documents out where they’re handy. Usually on the dash. Just so everyone feels comfortable and there’s no hands reaching and grabbing all over the inside of the car, pockets, etc.
liked the tips on how to inform. I never stated I have a gun, but I have stated that I’m armed or carrying. Definitely think that the way you instructed is a superior choice of words that I intend to present my situation as described.

This is our future, and you all dont even know it.
the age of technology keeps advancing at exponential speeds, but man has never and will never change as a whole.
Technologies and advances will only be used by the higher powers for their benefit, and advantage over humanity as they do now. it will only give them more power and efficiency to oppress us. A great movie to depict the current affairs of our governments and the people

Marvellous! One of the very best DUST films I've seen. And something rare here: a coherent and inspiring story. Acting top notch. Felt their toughness, vulnerability, and humanity.
Makes me think of Orson Welles re the young Stanley Kubrick, A great director who has not yet made his great film. Keep going.

Some Aliens are cool, like to play frisbee. At least their Kids did I miss those days. Would talk with their minds to me, didn't tell anyone. When I slept they would look at what I was dreaming of. And see what they were dreaming, ask what or how they learn to fly. Amazing it was so similar

Very fantastically fantastic and awesomely awesome cool short film, I absolutely totally loved loved loved and enjoyed it. Very Great job and well done. I so definitely absolutely totally got a mega ton of inspiration for the novella series Mysteriarch Mythos That I’m writing book 1 for.
reply

The production standards and actors on Dust are fantastic! I’m instantly submerged in the characters. It doesn’t take a long time for the characters to develop. It’s instant. They’re real people to me. Keep up the great work! Kudos to all who did this latest.

The world that my story takes place in is called Terragartha, which is mostly a apocalyptic wasteland. That is a mix of the old west/frontier and remnants of the highly advanced technological civilizations of the ancient archaic distant past.
reply

So the benefactors were uh, illithids from space. Dang it was hoping the broadcast was good, but alas no tis another human brain eating scary thing from outer space. Strange they always end up eating our brains, and not starving to death lol

True Freedom can not be obtained without Great Sacrifices, all throughout the cosmos, millions of intelligent species had to sacrifice for their freedom and evolution, it's the only way!
reply

Bates sounded like an abusive cop at first, quick to the trigger. Turns out he was just a patriot and once he realized his buddy got his own patriotism back, he earned bates' respect again.
reply

Interesting film and good story. I was a little confused when a Mindflayer appeared however and I thought, What's a Mindflayer from D&D doing in this world
reply

Hello! We are the aliens! We look just like you humans, just a slighlty different head shape and a bit longer fingers. No big deal! Evolution works like that!
reply

If this is such a poor world under the Benefactors, how is it that both Bates an Dawkins have on new clean coats (Loved The Who thing anyway)
reply

I like it! How appropriate I'm watching this as our government creates it's own Disinformation Governance Board to control the narrative
reply

Happy Year of the Tiger to all! We're honored to have THE BOOGEYS on DUST! And looking forward to hear your comments and questions!
reply

The news lady said the guy was still at large yet a few commentary said he died at the end. which is it Either way. great film.
reply

This short film has inspired me to make the story I’m writing into a truly epic and great and well detailed sci-fi story.
reply

Why all the wood pallets Is it because they're free on Craigslist in every town They don't add anything to the set. Dumb
reply

This was so engaging! It told a complete story and I found both the acting and story and costume, etc. well put together.
reply

This would make a great trailer for a series. But you'd have to bring the hero back to life. if he really has died.
reply

Seen this twice now, second time much better.
Picked up on missed points.
Need a full length movie please.

reply

I want to see more about this world. Why were the aliens there What are they doing with the children etc etc
reply

That guy has a crazy looking trunk/unaliving weapon thingy. This was a great short. Good job and high five
reply

Quite trope-y, but the combination of a film noir within a futuristic dystopia is really interesting.
reply

Really good flow and balance, & all the acting was great really. well done too all involved in making this.
reply

I chuckled seeing him pick the lock. Hmm. Will he free the door of the lock itself by slight of hand.
reply

Wow. that was actually 18 minutes! flew by. must mean something eh Thanks DUST!
reply

Saw this a few years ago, all good except how the alien dies, he cudnt just reach in his pocket lol

The comments below are nothing more than directing and editing critiques. How sad. How short sighted.
reply
