Want more DUST? Check out the latest short film "LIMBO" and get lost with us: https://youtu.be/HBxiEpIMSQY One man's search for his kidnapped daughter causes his reality to unravel.
-
I wish slapping the dash board actually fixes engines
-
The physics are not really clear to me, but the sheer amount of worldbuilding in such a short time without the need for words is really, extremely astonishing! Awesome work!
-
2:26 As a mechanic, I never get tired of the movie trope that hitting a control pannel somehow fixes a major mechanical problem with the system.
-
One of the details I enjoy is that the initially antagonistic pilots of the smaller aircraft, once the cloud is turned to a proper storm are content to leave once their water jugs are filled, vs the big business that TAKES and TAKES and TAKES.
-
Love the imagery of the lighthouse being a beacon of hope. Is often used in nautical story telling, but obviously with oceans being dried up this is how it would be resurrected.
-
That airplane she was flying immediately got my attention! It’s a modified OV-1 Mohawk that used to be in the Army inventory but has since been retired. Just an FYI. I thought it was pretty cool
-
WOW. What a profound film, touching on human resilience, the will to survive, moral dilemma and self-sacrifice, without a single line of dialog. Incredible.
-
I love the idea of someone still trying in the future, still fighting for a way to bring things back to normal. How humbling and wholesome.
-
Everyone: That's a cool way to harvest water! Aerodynamics: But drag tho.
-
The rain never stopped... became Waterworld.
-
this ten-minute dialogue free film covered several scientific, philosophical, and human concepts with more clarity than most full-length live-action movies manage these days. Impressive and moving.
-
Words cant describe the last 4 minutes. I can only imagine the work and passion put into this such fine work of art.
-
Only short film I’ve come across that doesn’t say “award winning short film”, but is the best one I’ve seen out of all of those.
-
"Noooo, you can't just fly with a huge net at the back of your plane. There is to much air resistance. >:(" "Hahah, Ocean maker go BRRRRRRRRR"
-
I love the usage of the old uniquely designed war airplanes like the XP-55 and the F-82
-
Love the way 'real' world bits of aircraft have been cobbled together, great aesthetic.
-
I've always wondered why short films like this always seem determined to have, at best, a bittersweet ending.
-
Imagine how dense the atmosphere would be to have all the oceans moisture in it
-
I have never been so quickly enthralled in a story before. Beautiful and heartbreaking
