This should have 20 million views and give that director fucking money so we can watch a full movie of this.
The acting in this was magnitudes better than almost any Hollywood production. Everyone involved deserves high praise.

Is there a second part 2 it ??
Thanks to all of you for the overwhelming comments. I am out of words and always get emotional when I read what you guys have written. Once in a while I come back to this video and can't believe we actually did that film. I must have been crazy or sth. to actually pull this off. And even more crazy were the crew and the people who actually beared with me and made my vision possible. We all went through a production hell back then but when I look back now, it was a magical time and I feel lucky that I was allowed to make this crazy flick. Just like you guys, I wish there was a second part or a full blown movie about Jagon but as my favorite character of all time said: life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get. Thanks to all the crew members and you guys here on youtube. May your guardian angel protect you all from all evil. M.E.G.

Indeed this film deserves a second part. But as I read your text it must have been a lot of work. I don't know much about film making, I love to enjoy films. But I do appreciate the tons of work that go into making a film. So, thank you for your work. I thoroughly enjoyed your film.

May your Guardian Angel keeps you sturdy, healthy, enlightened, protected and, even more, in continuous communication with Him. I wonder... With every redpect; If our old hunter and our Saracen young girl, through few years in the near future, with starting point the end of this film, after few contacts with evil and death, (at the past in this time line) find the peace, him as a father and mentor of her and she like a married woman with husband and 3 children, one young hunter /husband approved from our hunter/father, in a protected beautiful farm, and there, the two of them teach the husband and the 3 children about the mystical power of faith, telling us, eventually, their path to meet the Angel of the rosary and enlightenment against the cult of aurelians and the fall from their original grace via vanity, corruption and greed, turn them to soldiers of evil and hubris. One second part of this magnificent work, 35 minutes for example, more mystical, magical and deepness, a great climax, victorious, in a great journey. 🙏❤️

I literally am called to re-watch this film every 6-12 months or so. Today was such a day. Lo and behold, only 2wks ago an update where posted the Creator (film producers...) to almost answer the question that I've asked EVERY time I've watched this: Where is the REST of this story? That said, a powerful seed was planted in this more than artistic cinematic encapsulation. So, again, BLESS and THANK you!
No horse like that graced a poor mans stable, but I do digress for such an excellent movie short.
This was waaaaaaaayy too short. This needed to be a full length movie or a series. A beautiful girl with the power of the ancients; a gatherer with a back story longer than Gandalf's beard, and a swordsman waiting in the distance. A story of legendary proportions with awesome cinematography and directory, and you're cutting it off now...why? I want more!!!

Thank you youtube for finally recommending something worth my time even if it is 4 years too late..
When you're half-way through the film, on a Friday afternoon after a hard week of work, and realize you've seen it already, but you keep watching it anyway, in silence and awe. Wow.
What's really amazing is the look of this film is as cinematic as any 100 million plus block buster. The use of slow motion, the editing and lighting and the acting are all professional movie quality. Nice.
The phrase “leave them wanting more” is so painfully accurate for this short film. Great job, it should be turned into a feature film and it could be fit into ANY genre.
This was filmed 5 years ago?!!? I just stumbled on it while looking at short films!! I must say that of the many short films I have seen, as well as, big budget Motion Pictures.........Hollywood would salivate over this one!! Well acted, scripted, perfect plot lines and the special effects were amazing!! The orange princess and the hunter acted their parts magnificently. Actually, all of them were awesome!! Should this become a full length Movie, I'd pay to see it! Well done folks......and thanks for the translations! LOL!!

Jiminy crickets......came across this by accident, read a few comments....I'm only 10 minutes in and I'm like "OMG....WHY hasn't this been made into a major full length movie!?!" More than that, I sure hope the big studios have snapped up every one of you that worked on this and are giving you the license and freedom to create more superb films. The acting is superb....every close up, every scene....how it was directed, shot, edited is absolutely spectacular! Hope all of you go far, because this deserves some kind of award!
This a very good short film. This deserve a full length movie with a sequel. I would love to watch it. ❤👍
Outstanding work by this team. Just now watching it in 2023 and it holds up very well against other great works. The fact that this was done as a student production is very impressive. I especially love the mood that the color choice of your shots in the woods delivered. I'd love to see more of this story or world in another production. Maybe one day we will get it! Be proud of the masterpiece you have created.

This movie is an example of what makes Germany great.
I have watched this several times and am blown away by the poetic violence. The characters are fascinating and generate a ton of questions about their identities, motivations and purposes. And I love Henry the horse...
I love the Look in her eyes when she gets the rosary back, pure faith in the Guardian, regardless of the faith.
This is probably the best short film Ive ever seen.. Deserves a 1.5 hr movie.
What a treat! Amazing... 6 years and still looks superb for todays' standard.
This is the best short film that I have seen on KZread, Thanks for giving a glimpse of how it was done in the credits. Everyone involved should be proud of their work.
Omg, I couldn't believe this was from 5 years ago. Everything in it was so perfect; the fight scene was epic with all the blood splatter, the acting was on point, the effect was fabulous..kudos to the whole team

this is worth more than the last 15 hollywood movies. Incredible work, looks like zack snyder old school. Impressive the cast, the effects, the planes, the direction. They deserve a 120 min project.
This team needs independent funding so they can freely expand or their vision and grow into more. This way amazing. So much better than what the elite pumps out to the cinema. If this was a 3h film I'd watch it at least 5 times in the first 2 years of release uninterrupted. So much directing and writing talent. Amazing indeed
15/3/2023, watched this for the first time. Outstanding cinematography, script, effects, acting, and though I was reliant on the subtitles, the dialogue was superb. In some ways I find a subtitled film to have more engagement with the audience. The music captivated you as did the special effects and the scenery. I was saddened that it finished, I wanted so much more, the back story, the prequel, the sequel. Thank you all for your amazing work.
I have watched this several times, its brilliant. Thank for posting this. I agree with many other comments. This should be a feature length movie.
WOW!! This is worth the price of admission!! Geez laweez, I've never seen a student film turn out soo good like this. With such depth of detail work, sfx, music, storyline, acting!! it all was a pleasure to experience. I literally watched it and then ran to my friend and we watched it together. Can't wait for part 2 0_o
Absolutely brilliant...what peaves me though, is how these shorts really reel u in, just for them to finish 😳...this would be such a good watch, what film this would make...
Wow! Absolutely a great film. A masterpiece... definitely deserves the recognition it so deserves...

Cannot watch it too many times. Facial expressions are a story unto themselves. A full length feature? Yes, please.
I had never seen this much fantastic, well choreographed film for a while, it was water for my eyes, I wonder about this level of perfectionism we can watch for free! amazing work! can't describe enough of my feelings here.
Superb. The story, the acting, all excellent. I say MORE. A full length movie, a series. One of the best shorts I've seen if not THE best. The look on the old hunter's face when he came to her aide, the look on her face when she returned the favor, was stirring. Although I guessed what was about to happen, it was awesome to watch.
I truly enjoyed watching it. They should make full-length movie.
Wow!!!!! Possibly the best Short film I have ever seen!
Great movie! This is what it's about. Great acting. Great cinematography. Great fight scene choreography. Great concept!
This is even better the second time round. The production level was on par with some of the most popular films in the last few decades. Worth the watch.
Please make this a full feature film, Please do!. The effects alone makes it worth the 20 min of my time, add the actors and scenery to it, than even the big studio’s can learn from this. Gold and masterpiece do not do this one justice, it’s way better than that.
A must watch! This needs to be made in to a movie! Excellent actors! Every thing about this was incredible!
More emotion, entertainment, and personal interest in this short length of time, than in a big, blown out movie. The camera angels, the slow-down effects, her clothing rippling, the sheer effort this took... SO amazing.
I feel like I just watched the first ten minutes of what could become one of my favourite fantasy movies. Beautiful buildup, worldbuilding, and creating mystery. I was so ready for more at the end.
😢😢 PLEASSSSEEEEEEEEE MAKE A FULL/LONG MOVIE/SERIES. I lovvvvvve❤ the writer and director of this short film.

Fantastic cinematography beautifully done, I loved it. It was like the first time I saw The Brotherhood of the Wolf. Great acting, great stunts and great fight choreography. Also she is just about the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. I hope there is more from these folks.
I don't remeber how many times i watched this. I wish there was more of this story with the same crew.
Amazing but too short. I'd really hope to see the full / longer version of the film.
Am just seeing this for the first time and am hungry for more (full length movie or series)... The colors, graphic, the adventures and d Story line! All cool!! PLS more
I really liked your hero. Understated strength and humility. Loved the unusual language and of course, excellent cinematography. The German distributors must have been drunk or high to dislike this. Murat Eyüp Gönültas (MEG) is an amazing director.
Awewwwwwww where is the rest of it! Omg what an amazing short film.

"Good things come in small packages." People often believe that something great has to be grand or lengthy. Even some truly great stories are short stories. I'm very happy to have been able to see this "short film" (which was described as short in the title). Great talent, writing, music, direction (MEG) and production sometimes never get this far.

Just today found this......First Mustafa A. Kuzu put down some awesome words to start, the Director provided a beautiful vision, and the Production team put it all together is something that resulted in a true Film worthy of recognition. Just enough FX to support the actors and dialogue and complete the picture. I hope all involved have found themselves where they dreamed and deserve. Excellent piece of work!
