    This is what I'm talking about. Original, emotional, somewhat confusing (but in a good way), brave and to the point. It covers so many aspects of what a situation like this might bring. Definitely in the top tier of my favorite short films. I would have to say, if anything, the most intriguing part of the film was the interaction (or lack there of) between the two very talented humans that portrayed their roles perfectly. The communication was not even being near each other or even physically knowing each other, yet I was left to feel that they knew each other so well. I would get lost a little bit and think sometimes they're talking to one another even though it's just her talking in a video. Boosie actor in the actress really brought this thing to life. The writing behind this was unique and very very special. Sometimes I watch something and it brings out a different emotion at me. It's very rare as it probably would be for anybody because there's not too many things that cause emotions. This however, definitely brought out an emotion to me I didn't expect, nor did I think existed. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I am no way shape or form a film critic or really I don't even know my s*** about this kind of stuff. I do know however, how I feel when I watch something. I also know enough to recognize a talent when I see it. And from beginning to end this was a very talented short film. It was provocative, emotional, somewhat suspenseful, definitely thought-provoking & quite literally just an absolute joy to watch, even on the 15th view, LOL😂😂. Thanks for this. I'm looking forward to watching more

    Most "post-apocalyptic" films are not worth watching or commenting on, but this is. Here, we find a stage for very deep human virtues (or foibles?) of desire, hope, dogged pursuit, overwhelming fear, staggering disappointment, world weariness, and ultimate compromise. So: a sound, strong, well developed premise is sufficient for praise. But only two characters, and both well-acted from two we wish to see more of. The performances are pointed and spare--- convincing and encouraging complete suspension of disbelieve. This is also rare in the sometimes far-fetched genre. Yet the best thing about this film is the female lead. She is exquisite. For her, we will need to redefine the term "gamin minx".

    This is a short video but I was amazed on how quickly I connected with the people. I’ve seen 2 hour movies and didn’t really care what happened but this was so well done I was immersed within minutes. The subtle expressions spoke volumes and added humor, depth and character to the guy. Awesome job! If your short video is this good I can’t wait to see a full length film

    This is impressive. No agenda, no self-promotion (Apocalyptic movies with clean dudes in hundred dollar haircuts and facials), just human. I like violence, and yet...this kept my attention throughout. Lots of fans like it. But I am a non-fan respecting it and enjoying it. Do more of it, it’s good. If I could film my stories, I'd like to create this solid and attentive vibe too.

    Many African villages live in post-apocalyptical conditions yet people look clean.

    We all need some “Hope” in our lives even if it is metaphorical. Seeing someone who wanted to life so badly changed the parameters he was living in.

    Well done actually, and made some good points, I really felt for the guy all alone in a very dire place, didn't blame him for wanting to end it and actually thought he did at the end so good surprise there. KUDOS to the writer and actors, good job. Not alot of these types of movies are anything but survival and killing each other so this was a pleasant surprise.

    Hey, congratulations on finishing the film, Giuliano! I am glad you found a good composer to do the score. When I read your description that it was gonna be about parasocial relationships I did not imagine this. The plot feels wholesome. It is like Black mirror if it decided to be hopeful.

    So unfassbar viele clevere Momente im Storytelling, ich bin sprachlos. Meinen vollsten Respekt an alle Beteiligten. Jetzt haben wir beide einen postapokalyptischen Film mit Brian auf der Blackmagic Pocket 4k gemacht, wann kommt die Kollaboration? :D

    Man… this sucks. This is the timeline I will be in. But if this is my timeline I will make sure I have all the survivors for my sisters. My priorities will be my sisters and others will have their own priorities. I will be willing to sacrifice myself for my sisters to survive and have many good people surrounded to them. If you do not feel the same way then you can survive on your own.

    Good to see a post apocalypse movie that’s not all murder, some are still human. Gives me hope for humanity.
