This is the future of entertainment. The big production companies no longer know how to tell a story. How to hook the audience and keep them interested. Everything today is fast edits and scene jumping. Dune is a masterful exception to this rule. Expansive environments. Extended shots that keep you fixated on the action. These smaller production houses are far more like that.

Whenever I hear "this is the future of" anything, I always think : what about right now? Have you generated mass interest right now? They usually never have. Anywho, the format failed in the late 60's, 90's, late 00's, and it'll most likely fail again. It's not the future of amything yet.

Exactly. Most marvel or dc films have too many similar humor scenes, over used, cringe cgi that looks way too bad. Dune 1 and 2 are my favourite movies. Interstellar close behind. Those are true masterpieces. Tenet, Oppenheimer, John Wick, Equalizer are amazing too. But many big studios just dont deserve the money they have. They have too much, and start destroying themselves. As entertaining as the films can be sometimes, its just all the same and cringe. This is PURE ART

I agree with you but Dune is pretentious trash.

This one needs a full series PLEASE CONSIDER IT!!!

I’m a big sci-fi enthusiast, and these episodes are way above current Hollywood movies. You manage to tell enough so the audience understands the context, but also let enough space to figure some stuff out. It’s a perfect balance. I hate movies where the audience is treated like a child. Your story telling style is perfect. I also love the visual effects and atmosphere. I’m happy I discovered your channel.

Comparing a short film with a full length movie isn't the same, sci fi shorts work so well because the story tellers doesn't have the responsibility to conclude the tale. Id be more impressed if they managed to fill a 1 hour and 30 min movie using this concept

From Wikipedia: The wendigo is often said to be a malevolent spirit, sometimes depicted as a creature with human-like characteristics, which possesses human beings. It is said to cause its victims a feeling of insatiable hunger, the desire to eat other humans, and the propensity to commit murder.

I think a lot of folks are missing the point of these shorts. In my view they are mostly about atmosphere and tone. Criticisms about coherent story and the practicality of crossing hundreds of miles of biome while critically injured are justified but not really relevant. As a showcase for what is possible on a micro budget these are outstanding. I look forward to seeing more. One thing that would be interesting would be a short companion film to each episode showing how the FX shots were done.

Letting the audience figure things out instead of telling you. Superb writing!

​@@videolabguy A good story has a beginning, a middle, and an end This might be an 'okay' story(youth would call it mid), instead of a 'good' one. (Mainly talking from a writing perspective in general, and not as a screenwriter) A few things come to mind, but the lack of a basic story beat is not the reason. You could argue that it lacks a conclusion, but that is by no means a requirement. If I were to guess, as a self-taught writer, the person writing is just winging it and is more interested in the filming and visual process. He'd benefit from having an actual writer on board. Even if it's only to go through his script and point stuff out. You do not have to do everything yourself :) Some people will do that for free, though there's a risk of them stealing ideas unless you write a contract.
