I’m glad the slaves were released and that big guy dispatched by that worm. In the end the father cared about those people. In the end his daughter’s future was more important than himself. In the end he did prove he was a good man. I worry about what he has to face though and having to leave his daughter.
This story had brilliant writing and directing. Every character I could feel them. Tears came to my eyes when he had to leave his daughter. I was glad he didn’t let that big brute dump the cargo. I felt the pain of the daughter. That’s brilliant characterization. As a once hobby writer I know the importance of creating three dimensional characters. Feeling their pain, or happiness, or ethical things, feeling sympathy for those now released slaves and glad they’ll be safe and chain free. The writing, directing, story line touched me in so many ways! The acting was superb. It takes a lot to impress me and man was this is a film that will stay with me for a long time. The characters were so real! I hope he can eventually be released so he can be reunited with his daughter. Now if only my tears would stop flowing I’ll be able to sleep. I’m that touched!

tools are getting better but still matured skill is needed to know the tools and which to use.
and then we want a nice story spicing it ontop.
Takes time to populate a scene with objects. I hope there are internet libraries with 3D models.
Unreal new versions I saw had help with at least trees and water and rocks and stuff. But now you need to learn that engine.
It costs time to make stuff like this. You might try this with raytracing in the 80s, think Pixar. I guess now you buy a NVidia card and a 3D engine. Yes the gaming industry and millions of gamers buying top notch cards gave these companies money to make even more amazing card. The new cards from NVidia is in another class, they are the next step, and I am 100% sure home studio movie makers will use those cards. Not for gaming but for generating scenes and capture.

The clear and obvious play is to show them the body of the wanted pirate and claim to be the kidnapped captain who was forced to ship slaves but rebelled against his captors to save them. The Galactic Republic or whatever will free the slaves, you'll get to keep half the cash and your ship repairs, you're a hero to the good guys and the slavers won't be looking for you because they'll assume you're serving your sentence for the next 20 years. Its a shoe-in.

It's a perfect story with issues in many domains: CRIME, DRAMA, EMOTIONAL, FAMILY, FINANCE, HARD TRUTH, human, morality, PSYCHOLOGY, REALISTIC, SAD.
Just those awful lying words of DUST at the end, spoils it every time: every week. I'm observing DUST since 2019, and they are far from releasing a new video every week. And since quite some time they even fill most of their releases with compilations: disgusting!

I gotta say, I'm impressed! Very good actors; one of which, I recognized from Van Helsing.
The music in the beginning is great! Not that dead dreadful silence, so knew it wasn't going to be alien chest buster filled.
The plot and the CGI/VFX were like dayumnnnn! Everything flowed!
Keep up the great work brother! Looking forward to seeing more of your work!

This entire script can be transferred with almost no changes into the 15th century, the Age of Exploration. The script has nothing to do with space or aliens. The setting is arbitrary and the plot does not stem from it. It's not a scifi short film as long as scifi means a story emerging from fictional but internally coherent circumstances.

Very good acting in this movie, excellent special effects but i have a question, it becomes very sad because a good man pushed into a bad corner then gets sent to prison for being in that corner, now if his daughter was allowed into that nice place then why didnt he take her there before his financial troubles got bad

So many shorts seem to have no path, no understandable ending. This is different, old school with a begining, middle and end. This could be the future of our history where nothings changed except our technology. Thanks for a thought provoking work.

Father does all he can until he makes a bad choice which costs him everything and his daughter gets placed in protective services, and he's off to prison. Well at least the pedo didn't get her this time, we seen him licking his lips

I'm starting to worry if these short films are just way way better than some full length films or if it's just way easier to make a good short film and that's why it feels like these short films are better.

I love sci-fi and cgi, and Dust usually hits the spot, however more often than not the acting is below par. Thankfully this isn't one of those times, great stuff. Excellent acting, make-up and plot.

Has some sci-fi substance.
Halfway through, I'm like. this isn't sci-fi.
But at the end. i was a little bit heartstruck, emotional. some things transcend their context. : -)

I feel so bad for the daughter. She shouldn’t have to shoulder her dad’s troubles. Like my father used to say your job is to be a kid not worry about adult things.

Firefly meets Star Wars. This is well done in my eyes. It feels more like a pilot of a TV series than a short movie, and I'd love to see more of this universe.

The music score was also very good. If this hasn’t won any awards yet it should and if it has they’re well earned. Well done, Bobby Bala!

Fantastic production, but what happened in the last 5 minutes There seems to be a large chunk of the action missing.

Nicely done, but what's with the baby and the mother as slaves. To a greedy slaver, they would be dead weight.
