That final line blended beautifully into the ending. Excellently done. With so many post-apocalyptic shorts doing the rounds it's rare to find a really good one. Kudos to you.
Thank you!
Kudos. Very well done.
Thanks, glad you liked it. Share it around so we get more views!
@@DazByard I will do just that.
Award winning
Thank you!
Reminds me of afro samurai and ninja ninja.
Cool! Love that comment!
Intense suspense, and a psychological masterpiece. The crazy loudmouth added a great dimension of how some cope with dealing with loss. The power of Alcohol....and.... Memories!!
Thanks, I appreciate the comments!
good short film!!!! the fisrt time he said that it was an ilusion gave it away but then when the 3 others entered the bar i was like daaaam thats not an ilusion xD it got me!
Thank you! Yeah, that was the set up!
Good to find gems like this during lockdown don’t know where were headed gives you a new look at the what ifs. P.S Stay Woke had me rolling lol
Thank you. Stay Woke was a riot to make except for the 110 degree weather out in the desert the day we shot the last half!
Some one wrote this years ago "he who speaks the least is the wisest " in a situation like this the louder you are then the quicker you will be noticed then killed !
I listened to an Army captain talking about guys in 'Nam, walking through jungles, singing, whistling etc. Same thing.
crazy is normal during post apocalypse.. ;) cheers..
Damnit, I didn't see the part that said "Short film" i was like wait, its already over? lol
Thanks! The team has considered making this into a feature.
@@DazByard I think that would work. I'd like that 🙂
Good performers!😉
Thank you!
Is he not wondering how he is so drunk after one glass ( 5 Glasses )
That ending was jolting, it hit. "You smile, but you wanna cry. You talk, but you wanna be quiet. You pretend like you’re happy, but you aren’t." Which is why some sit, with no guns, and have a drink.
Thank you!
It has been a long time since I've seen anything so riveting! Well put together, with solid performances! Would you ever consider doing this as a stage play???
Interesting idea! I will have to pass that on to our Director and get his thoughts. I believe the idea of a full length feature was discussed some time ago...
That's me right now in front of my computer.
One should never drink guns, you'll have a very high chance of choking
I don’t see how this hasn’t had more views? It’s a great film!
Thanks! Needs more good people like yourself to share it!
Great job! That was fantastic, every element was very well thought out and the characters were brilliant. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Jacob!
Thanks! Glad you liked it.
Intense, compelling, full of character. Superb acting by the lead as well.
Thank you!
Show me a sane person and I will cure them~Carl Jung~
hmmm... what's the name of the song at the end where he had his epiphany? 11:50
Long time no see...anyone.
Guess the folk in your mind are good enough company.
That one guy talks to damn much lol 😂 lol that's how the world would be lol 😂 crazy insane stupid lol
Truth at the bottem of a bottle... yup.
Thank you and everyone that made this film happen I loved every second of it the acting holly f*ck amazing scripted directed edited all of it GENIUS keep doing what you're doing (being geniusly amazing) hope to see more of your work everyone who was involved once again thank you
Thank you! We loved making it!
Top notch writing, acting, filming.
This is great work.
Thank you, truly a team effort!
The details in this thing is amazing!
Thank you, it was a great team effort!
A bit of L4D notes in the back.
Damn, that was awesome.
Thank you!
I'm sorry your amazing film only now resurfaced for the relatable present. :/ Also sorry for the foreseeable dentistry outcomes, given that our dentists would be very face close to patients.

No probs, glad you found it!
Wow first really good acting I have seen on a short film
Thanks!
fantastically done. well done, this best depiction of what would happen to a human in absolute isolation.
Thank you, I thought so too!
Yet another reason to be under the bomb or eaten when the time comes. Nice film and production as a whole. Love the zaney character he traveled with and the sadness relayed by the fragmented mind. Thank you!
Thank you. I was on board the day I read the script and it's still to-date one of the best productions I have ever worked on or been a part of!
iv always wondered do this short films actually win awards? every single short film iv seen on youtube Claims too have won over 10,000 Awards and placed #1 at the grammy's.. is this true? or just click bait
No click bait, it won a bunch of awards. I will get the list and add them to the comments. Thanks for watching!
This is already my favorite ❤️👍 just from the title!!!
Cheers! Yeah the title is cool!
What not to ask a depressed man "Where you gonna hang out"
What the mind will do...to forget.
Bloody marvelous. I didn't know that someone picked up the rights to my life story to make a documentary. Great ending.
Thanks Patrick! We had an alternate ending but this one worked better. Feel free to share it!
Macallan is a great single malt scotch to drink to the end of the world as we know it.
Deep,
Profoundly so.
One might even say,
Ouch!
Awesome.
Thank you!
Awesome! A classic chamber theater playing in the apocalypse. Great job!
Thank you!
@@DazByard You're welcome. New projects in sight?
I’m two years late agin
Never too late to catch up on a good film!
Daz Byard true that brother
this was directed very well, still room for improvement as there always is by this looks very good. the other man who wouldn’t stop talking was very annoying tho. great job.
Thanks for watching!
Really excellent work on this short! Great dialogue, direction & camera work. At the end when I realized I’d been duped 🙂, I thought about the “chatty crazy friend” and how that must been this guy’s inner dialogue just running nonstop - otherwise why keep such an annoying person around?
The title initially got my interest and the dialog reeled me in. Keep up the great work and thank you for sharing.
Thank you!
Thank you. I had a hard time keeping a straight face with Ryan's dialogue. We missed capturing some of his best one liners!
Wow!.. That was great...didn't expect that ending!..😶
Thank you! Always keep 'em guessing until the end I say!
Very moving. Very well done.
Thank you!
If it was a bottle of Blue, he'd a regained his sanity
Blue Label best ever
Wow. I cannot believe how well they executed a situation I've been through. I was in a survival situation with a manic schizoaffective man. I have a hard time with manic people. I think tolerating him was as traumatic as having my life in danger, but we had to depend on each other. It wasn't his fault, but man...sometimes I thought about pushing him off.
Thanks for watching, hope the memories weren't too bad.
Something that is really good has few views? Oh right no flashy effects or "scary" monsters...
Thanks. It has actually gained a lot more views over the past few weeks so the whole team are pleased!
@@DazByard Yeah its okish now I guess. Still it should go viral in the horror community.
Great writing and acting.
Horror
Thank you for watching!
Wow... Dude, really good.
Perfect title.
Great ending!
Very accurate depiction.
And yes, excellent “situation-proper” make-up and costumes.
Not to mention the exceptional acting!
Good show!
Loved it!
🏹🏴🎯
Thanks! It was a whole bunch of fun to make!
This shit. Was. Awsome. Luved it best short ive. Seen yet !!! I know that bar is called the Britisher . Fuck I just caught my couch on fire
Thank you! BTW, how is the couch?
Great movie 👍👍 👍. Like the characters and dialogue. Keep this SHEEEEIT up 👍
Thank you!
Had never seen this, WOW. Such an epic build so quickly and then the twist all in under 15 min. What a ride! Anyone who sees this comment, really...watch this short you'll be like DAMN!!!!
Thank you!
The "tough girl" bullshit ruined it for me. That has to be portrayed just right or it comes off like some cringy porn script. Fury Road is a good example of it being done right.
Noted! Thanks for watching!
This was really well done, bravo.
Thank you!
Heavy. Like radioactive waste.
Great film . 👍👍
Thanks!
Just impressed they picked a pretty solid scotch.
Hey, how could we not?
Be safe out there 😘
Why are they still scavenging? Why aren't they hunting animals or growing crops? This is not a nuclear wasteland.
Who is they?
@@DazByard Sorry, didn't finish it. Still, he could have left the city and started farming or hunting.
Cool twist at the end reminiscent of the Twilight Zone.
Thank you!
Not what I expected going into it. Very well done all the way around.
Thank you!
When a Friday night hits
Phenomenal.
Thank you!
absolutely perfect!!! thank you!
Thank you!
goos bumps
It would make more sense to just use Listerine as it has many other uses. Toothpaste wouldn’t be something I’d look for.
That plot twist though, i kinda feel bad for him
That's the fate of the last person to go I guess!
@@DazByard wait.... He was the last person? Omg i thought he was just another person in the world. Bigger plot twist thx for making my day
At least the alcohol was real ... js
Indeed it was and rather tasty at the end of the shoot as well!
I really enjoyed that. Hidden gem of a short. If I say don't tell anyone about it.....reverse psychology and all that........
Thanks but don't keep it secret, share the heck out of it!
I know Im late but its nice to see a content creator who scrolls through the comments
Thank you. I am loving the interaction with people who watch my content!
Um ? Thorazine anyone .
With the whiskey?
This film is very well done. It was pretty obvious that the friend was a figment of his imagination - i mean, the friend blatantly stated that much. And the rest of them... well.... That's the well done part.
Thanks, glad you liked it!
What would have happened if they all started shooting?
Very thoughtful. Escaping a "shitty"reality in a bottle. But we make our own heaven or hell! Is the bottle half empty or half full. We "can" decide and go on from there. There's always an option.
Thanks. Yeah, I often wonder what Max's next move would have been?
That was damn good.
Thank you, we all enjoyed making it!
Prolific of what's to come...and sooner than we think...
Make that guy shut up
Thanks for watching!
I really enjoyed this film, BUT IF IT CAME TO IT,THAT LAST BOTTLE OF WHISKEY-IT'S MINE, yeah just kidding, it would do my cirrotic liver the world of good!
It was indeed tasty! Well, the couple of sips I actually got to take. That bottle mysteriously disappeared after the shoot!
Sir do you know why i pulled you over......? Lmao. 😅👍
The genuinely disturbed usually always have no idea about it. This poor guy was being entertained by his figments for God knows how long.
That's the twist in the plot! Thanks for watching!
Crazy.Makes Sense in a crazy world.. with a bottle of 10 year whisky as company..
Thanks!
This was the best acted shortie Ive seen. The 2nd guy was so good that if Id actually been in that situation with him Id have had to shoot him. lol He get my best shortie actors award. Story line was deeeep with a surprise ending. If you like these shorties this one is a must watch.
Thank you!
Aussie accent
The BEST accent!
Just another of my nights
Wow- so good. Let me go out of this life demented and happy if that is better than the reality that surrounds me.
Thanks for watching!
There can be no doubt this was award winning. Exceptionally thought provoking and well executed. Nice attention to detail on the makeup too.
Thank you! List of awards it won are in the comments section.
Did anybody else hear the dog barking while they were drinking, that's the sound of supper
That was the crazy guy's favorite memory but in reality who was the real crazy guy here?
Excellent
Thanks!
They loved something bad (alcohol) until they almost kill each others
Thanks for watching!
Damn! totally surpassed my expectations! great acting and excellently written and directed!
Thank you for the kind words!
Great Title! Great work! Cool ending. Thanks!
Thanks!
Strong start imagery got me in. Really good work, great acting, great angles/scenes, well done!
Thank you!
made sense, the seriously annoying guy could only be the product of a disturbed psyche
Totally fractured psyche!
It seems not just bottle but the man is last one of its kind. All by himself
Hmmm, maybe we do actually reap what we sow?
I don't understand this hasn't more views and likes. This is a piece of art.
Thanks! We are getting the number up. We have had over 40K in the past 2-3 months.
Very shallow thoughts. Every thing you see every thing you touch is death
