This film parallels the emotion I feel when my smartphone reaches 2% battery life and dies shortly thereafter.

There's generosity and then there's tearing your own heart out for a total stranger. What a simp.

@@Hiraghm I respectfully disagree. Self-sacrifice happens somewhere every day. It happens when you give your life for another or give up something you need to benefit the life of another. Value plays a part; but it is not the whole.

Beautiful story, and acting. It's the whole package. Can't wait to see more from your team.

I was coming to comment on Blade runner and wondered if the name Roy was an intentional reference to the replicant 😅

God rest Leopold's soul, and bless you all who carry his memory. This deserves more views, likes, and subscriptions. Great work, I loved her being barefoot in the snow despite the heavy overcoat, reaaaaaaaally sold immediately that something was extremely wrong with this poor girl. Best wishes and all goodness go with you

Really enjoyed the film! I wasn't anticipating the ending which was a pleasant experience. Part 2: Roy wakes up and finds her staring at him. And then we see what she goes through to save him...know I had to.

This would have way more views if it were distributed by Dust

Mr. Fifelski is someone with talent. Beautifully shot and editing was first rate. Congratulations on award as it was richly deserved.

this should be shared on DUST.

An exciting episode.Almost without words, the two actors created memorable characters and did it very well. With such actors, the continuation of the event could be promising. Unforgivable if this the end of the story!

Excellent short film my guys. I loved both the acting and the message conveyed. If I may make one suggestion, please for the love of all that is holy, post a link to the film score or upload it to KZread. That may have been even more moving than the film itself.

That’s how you make an awesome Sci-Fi short film… Simply phenomenal 😎.

Looking forward to the next project.

Great work. More please!

The shots taken were amazing, having a lot of emotion and strong story

Bravo! Well Done!! More please...

Impressively Emotional. Wasnt expecting such an ending...

In the description it says Roy is a “robot mechanic” but does this mean he is a mechanic who repairs robots or that he is a robot that is also a mechanic? Fun to ponder.🤔😊

Excellent! More please!

Brilliant movie. Loved the premise of self sacrifice, and goodness.

Oh my god that was heartbreaking but most beautiful story.

An eight minute masterpiece!

Outstanding sci-fi!!!

Ha, a Schindler! That name has a solid reputation to it. And a pretty famous movie. Well done.

I’m glad to see comments regarding the ability to understand the script since there is no transcript or CC. I guess it was good but I’m not willing to blast the volume above reasonable to try to understand it. There are just too many choices out there that observe common sense to bother with this. That’s my only criticism, which is really minor considering how easily it could be remedied, even retroactively. She did have remarkable, captivating eyes.

Beautifully done movie. ♥️

Damn, that was good! Well done!

Amazing work! Waiting for more..

Speechless ✨ 😍.

a beautiful story, thank you for sharing. This is why I gave up Hollywood's endless stream of dull reboots years ago. Original stories by gifted storytellers is far more enjoyable and engaging.

*I'm going to transcribe this for people who can't make out what's being said ^^.* "Are you Roy?" "I am." "I'm falling apart and I need you to fix me." "How did this happen?" "What does it matter?" "I need to know what I'm repairing, okay?" "I'm Adella 4.8." "Take off the overcoat. Someone's shutting you down." "Not already... [crashing] can you temporarily fix my legs, or just give me a reboot on my core? Do something, will you?! [quiet whirring and beeping] I have minutes to live, and only my communications and memory are still active. Only my thoughts. [cranking sounds] Why even bother with me now? I have no reason to be fixed. [quiet whirs] I'm sorry. You have done nothing wrong, and yet I tried to kill you. My last action in life was to try to take someone's life. [quiet sobbing] Why are you helping me? I have nothing to give." [music] "You have a memory. You have emotion. You have a free mind." "But I'm dying. Forgive me." [music quiets, wind howls, then music swells back in] That's the end of the dialogue. ^^

That was exceptional work by everyone.

Excellent. Thank you

Heavy. Hope it is this way one day for us all.

Bravo and encore. Thanks a lot for a riveting and emotionally intense short film. A thought just struck me: That the director used machine intelligence to demonstrate to us humans core essentials of what it means to be a person. Kinda like a 3d representation of a 4d object on a 2d surface. Anyhoo lets not ramble any further.

Very _very_ well done! Thank you for creating it, all the preproduction work, the actors, all the work in post. [edit] The under 100K views this film has (late Sept 2021) borders on criminal.

Without the explanation in the comments, I would have had no real idea what this was about. I didn't realize that Roy was even a robot from the film. I loved the setting and the cinematography, but the actual story was too threadbare.
