Amidst a global exodus from earth, two brothers must confront their differences about leaving their home forever. Blight by Markus Hoeckner Connect with the Filmmakers: More About Blight: In an increasingly uninhabitable world where excessive heat waves have triggered global crop blights, mass food shortages, and a humanitarian crisis, the United Coalition of Nations has begun evacuating the remaining population to the safety of orbital outposts. When Jamal returns home from a supply run with an evacuation leaflet for their region, his older brother Abdi refuses to leave, believing that they can weather the storm. Jamal is torn between his loyalty to his brother and his desire to secure a better life for himself.

I think this was by far an amazing short film. I like how it gave you a real life situation. I actually was sad and when the younger brother was found dead, I started crying. The only thing that I had a slight issue with was the fact that the font was so small that I had to enlarge my screen to read it other than that this is amazing short film! I can definitely see it becoming a Netflix special or Hulu definitely any platform should snatched this up and make one hell of a good movie or series

Short film making at its best, a tense and very human story told completely in 15mins, acting, sound, visuals and direction all really well executed. The ending in particular where he realises that Jamil sacrificed himself for the young girl symbolised by the water bottle being inside the vehicle, great attention to detail, all built upon a well established relationship in the short time the format allows. And as others have said this is deserving of a full length treatment.

Few short films are powerful enough to evoke the emotions of feature films in only 15 minutes, but this is one of them. Relevant, thought provoking, captivating, suspenseful, and heart-wrenching. Props to the filmmakers for mastering the art of bringing the story to life through the lens of the camera - the epitome of cinematography. Brilliant work!

Damn. That hit hard. It saddens me to think how this is the reality for many humans all over the world at this very moment albeit for other circumstances, but the outcome is the same, running to survive a way out, and losing the one's we love in the process. I wish humanity would write a new story. Well done.

Hi everyone! Thank you so much for watching my short film, Blight. I’d love to hear your thoughts and interpretations of the storyboth on the surface and the deeper layers. Feel free to ask any questions; I'm here to discuss!

I was thinking about this. so this is supposed to be Africa right So U. S. soldiers fighting white Africans trying to eradicate people Just trying to understand that. Otherwise great acting and effects. : )

Not bad. BUT what happened after that Did they head for orbit after making the last transport to the launch site Did the dead dude get his 72 Virgins
So many unanswered questions.

If we don't slow the earths population, this shows a future possibility. No matter the Faith, it's what most strive for. Freedom and sustainable resources. Great movie! Thanks!
reply

WOW! this was so good, Im curious if there is any behind the scenes stuff I want to understand how you filmed fighter jets and military vehicles for a short film. Super cool!
reply
