This is just purely awesome! I love the acting, the story and the color grading is fantastic, great work!

A lot of short films are to convey a moral of some sort, this one's kind of just for funsies. I also love that at the end, the believer thought it best to have the child protected, and gave him the tin hat.

Watched it in a festival after a very serious short sci-fi movie. Needless to say the audience laughed at this one wholeheartedly.

Fan-Bloody-Tastic! JUST SO GOOD!

Science fiction is always at its best when there's a healthy dose of comedy mixed in.

Great job...all of you, writers and actors.

Having it made by aliens but using the techniques humans use to make crop circles is clever and really funny. That they were going to see aliens was pretty obvious, but that detail was unexpected and hilarious.

I think the crop circle phenomenon is really interesting. I live in an area of the south-west of England where Avebury & Stonehenge are very close. Specialist in this field of study cannot explain some of them. There were two men who made their confession, & show how they did it. But there are so many, some being very complex. There was one that showed a man & woman, our DNA make-up, where our planet was in the solar system. Many years later a very similar crop circle appeared showing an alien & where they came from. There's even have video of strange orbs of light creating the patterns. No people, no aliens just the orbs flying overhead. 'Fire In The Sky' is an excellent documentary style film about Travis Walton, who with his work mates saw a spacecraft in the woods. Travis was actually abducted in front of his mates.

Totally loved it !!!! Well done .....Redx
