@@TheAstroflight I've heard that before and still wonder if it's true.

I haven’t turned them on since I was a kid in college in the 80s, but I’ve never been able to pitch em. Oh, and my C128 that I just had to have, about 20 years ago. Haven’t turned it on once. I need to just ebay or dumpster them.

Thank you for having CC enabled

I'm very appreciative to Dust for introducing me all this interesting and different genre masterpieces!

An eery yet charming tale. Felt like a perfect mix between “Twilight Zone”, “Outer Limits”, “Office Space”, “Matrix”, and those classic dystopian sci-fi films of the late-70s (which this clearly takes inspiration from). Had Edgar Wright level editing in the best possible way!

Is it just me or are Severance vibes all over? The retro look, the "data", the purpose... I liked it!

The minute I read this title - I knew the whole thing was going to go side-ways. What a trip! Thank you, Bleecker Films.

Had the chance to see Data Management at a film festival in NYC. I loved it. The story line, color, costume design ~ WOW. Left me wanting more.

That's life folks! Production design was great I thought. Thanks.

That was super creepy cool. First dust I've liked and commented on in a while.

In keeping with the timeline of the story, the hairstylists for the film must have had a blast... big fluffed poofy styles for the gals, with just as cheesy sideburns and mustaches for the guys... ha!

I just adore all DUSTs videos . 👍👍👍

A job in a jobless world...

Interesting short! For some reason, it gives me relatable vibes, but I can't pinpoint exactly how. It just comforts me in an empathetic way. Ha ha!

So in the future we have all the hard repetitive work taken care of, so we end up missing the drudgery of repetitive tasks. Unable to find happiness in our freed up lives, we turn to simulations of the vintage technological work culture years for fulfilment. Interesting view of basic human needs.

Wow! That was a trip! It´s a masterpiece! I hope you will continue this story or make a whole movie of it.

I like this a lot. The whole '70's motif. Probably had more meaning to life at that time than people do now. It was as if you were going back in time. The computer face in the DATA room was very 1970s Love that retro vibe.

Awesome short film.. liked the humor with the “yes sir”. And it kinda had a bit of a twilight zone feel to it. Props and costumes were great too.

Great short film! I also love how you integrated the history of Internet in it!

What a combination: A Commodore Dataset used to send data to what appears to be a Model III TRS-80 (perhaps a Model 4 since it looks like the case is white and not metallic gray).

I’m feeling nostalgic because I remember using those on the PET computers in the 80s while in high school. Those days…

Dust is something I’ll dive into after watching DATA MANAGEMENT. Excellent indie sci fi. We need to keep the edge 🔪☠️🚀 in this genre. High caliber actors “Sir!”

I love that you can practically *feel* the writers making choices! A series might capitalize on that by having different characters explore good storylines that were passed on earlier.

Very similar in story to another Dust film wherein office workers type randomly on computers without doing anything and reports are on blank coloured paper. I don't recall the name of the film, but at the end, the boss was trying to get someone to replace her so that she could exit. I appreciate the old-style technology in "Data Management" (I mean, Radio Shack!)

This was great. Reminded me of the computer class in like 1986 my mom forced me to take and I found it SO boring....boy, have we come a long way.....digging the clothing and hairstyles- nailed it!

Great looking film, five star casting and set building. Four star writing, just because I have no idea what happened, lol; nevertheless, I still loved it.

This brings back many memories!

That was good fun. Thanks for sharing.

Well done!

The old tech is really interesting to look at.

Great short film! I really liked the stepford wives crossed with twilight zone vibe! The actors did a great job! Left you wanting more! This could be a TV series or a full length movie!

Great short film and great soundtrack 🤖

i miss the sound of opening and closing datasette

Brilliant. I also enjoyed the song at the end

Reminds me of "The workspace" also in Dusts channel

Bravo. That’s how I feel about AI. aka Data Management. My favorite part, “SHUT UP CRAIG!”

"This is the story of a man called Stanley..." Or Richard, in this case.

I remember using equipment such as that. I still have an 8" floppy disk.

That's how to do a short....quick intro to the world the story is set in and the characters, increase in tension and a denouement. Too many shorts on Dust have no resolution and end up seeming like extra long trailers for a full-length film that hasn't been made.

Very nice job, Dust at it again, showing great short films!

I work in IT, in two areas, teaching and development, lately I have been using AI as a complement, my analysis is: we are finally reaching that point where we ask the computer for the data, the results and to be able to work with them , the star trek universe, we can rise, the energy that we spent in obtaining certain data, or solutions to problems, we now use it to work with the solutions, we have given our intellect more freedom, in theory. These days the debate among colleagues is whether "we will be left without a job", this short film has made me reflect... at some point. Will I need a simulation that makes me believe that I am still working on what I like? What makes me believe that I'm still a practical person?
