    Imagine all the explorers throughout our history, landing on foreign shores, hoping to find wealth, land, freedom, hope. How many of them ended up on inhospitable shores, dying alone and hopeless far from home. Until one lucky soul finds a safe harbor, a paradise, or even just a place that is hospitable enough to support them. It takes a special kind of soul to risk it all in the slim hope of finding something better. Those brave, foolhardy, outright crazy pioneers changed our future, gave us new lands and opportunities (some squandered) and helped enable our species to survive and thrive, sometimes far from home. This film shows the next step in our journey, not just exploring a world, but MANY worlds, further from home than any before them. Outstanding work Blake Simon and team, a short but beautiful example of the human spirit.

    Not unlike the people who risk their lives daily coming to America seeking freedom and a better life for their families and themselves. Undocumented they may be, but they just want the opportunity to live like human beings, with dignity and respect. After all, this nation was founded by immigrants without any papers whatsoever. Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. ✨✌️💙🇺🇸

    Congratulations to all who had a hand in this film. The script is mesmerizing and the emotion it causes is real. The actors did a great job topped off by the composer's wonderful music that you do not realize is taking your emotions to the full spectrum. I for one would love to see the full movie made. This is quality art and for me would stand out from what is out there today. I have signed up for Netflix a few times and eventually give up as there is so much crap being made. I spend 40 minutes trying to find something to watch and start only to leave after a few minutes. Your movie dragged me in in the first minute. Again congratulations to all who made this short film possible.

    Why would someone be offended or annoyed by what you said? If you thought it was stellar, who cares what they say about your entitled opinion. They're entitled to theirs as well but there's no need to say "dare I say" as in trying to apologize for your opinion and not offend, unless you're saying it bc you have a guilty conscience bc you really don't think it's stellar but trying to encourage the creators instead of putting down their film? Tbh I hope you genuinely thought it was stellar and maybe you didn't understand what "dare I say" means.

    The music definitely carried the emotion when the traveler learned that his wife(?) would not survive her mission. The music starts out sounding rather peaceful or resigned to fate but then gets discordant, conveying all the emotions he's experiencing. Full film was very well done.

    The music and the emotional story line were powerful enough to make the inevitable science errors almost insignificant to the experience. Keep up the good work, and keep getting science reviews of the scripts.

    Good video. Better than most. Too many other sci fi shorts are ridiculously computer graphics-heavy, or technology dominant, or stories that are piecemeal, incomplete, even nonsensical. This story is complete, with details that can sweep you into caring about the characters. Let's have more of these creative kind that stimulate imagination. Thanks.

    Thank you very much! I'd agree that sci-fi should not be assumed to mean covered in full computer graphics heavy effects etc, but sometimes it often feels like that's the case. The best VFX are the ones we don't see. You may be surprised to know we had our fair share here (by the wonderful Geoff Stephenson and John Bashyam) but the goal was always to not be thinking about them.

    Another great show in the making. Like all those early 2000s science fiction shows that had 1 or 2 seasons about finding another planet. One was a cool British show about invisible entities killing the humanoids on the planet another was like fossil evidence of prehistoric humans on the planet and so on. Great shows that never got an ending

    Very well done! Amazing realism on what must've been a small budget. Robbie was comical looking, esp. peeking out of that cuckoo clock door - intentional? One plot hole (to me): Why would Elora have had to land on the planet (Kepler?) to know its distance from its star and that the temp was that high? Seems she could've stayed in orbit. Music and cinematography were great. Do more!
