I find it insulting that big names in Hollywood get millions of dollars to make utter crap but you guys come up with an awesome idea that had me on the edge with a small ass budget and UA-cam. I support this
Thanks so much man! I really appreciate that.
SuperBlankTube You're absolutely right. These guys had me on the edge of my seat the whole time watching this short. Something most big movies that come out fail to even come close to achieving.
Pharlynx Ditto, these guys were creative, entertaining and they had a story that you could understand with minimum dialogue to boot.
+Film Riot Dude I'm from Dubai and i'm ready to pay you guys whatever price you want under one condition to make a full movie of this. Private message me if you're interested. When I said any price I mean it.
I agree toataly
I really liked how the fight scene in the mud bank didn't have any music. Just them fighting and struggling gave it a cool effect, I don't know. This film was really great, loved the story and all the editing! The actors are great too!
I agree! The effect of no music can be amazing at times.
It helped make that scene more personal and grittier.
once you see josh in the other videos you can never take him seriously as an actor
I know right but hes a good all rounder. looks the part too
It seems jarring when the rest of the film was bombastic in its OST choices.
I want to see a full-feature length film for PROXiMITY, Seriously, do a kickstarter...
Could you stop +1 ing this?
It's kinda annoying to see it in my notifications every week
+Ian Easton Too bad.
+Ian Easton dude you mute it
+Ian Easton IT will never stop! Nobody can stop IT!
same here!!!
One of the best short films I have ever seen
Gabriele Vinci rude
Gabriele Vinci Like you would know.

That main guy's very calm when he's explaining they have the same clothes. He's the kind of level headed character you want your ankle bomb to be paired up with. What a cool dude.
Haha yeah. Agree
I totally agree!! I would have definitely stuck it out on that boat with him!! Lmao
Watching this after BALLiSIC! PROXiMITY still holds up so well and they are all totally connected!

Great job on the short film! looks & sounds great!
As an expert in watching UA-cam videos, I must say that this was ... great.

The word is: excellent. Absolutely excellent. Smart, tight script, beautiful directing, spot-on editing, magnificent sound and a score to sweep you right along. Well done to all (especially Ryan), and great to see it's accumulated so many views in such a short time. Here's to 116,000 more.
Thank you!!!!!
Film Riot You're very welcome. Also, allow me to correct an oversight: brilliant performances and cinematography also.
Film Riot
Fucking AWESOME as usual guys & cinematography was on point!!!!!! Great work. Cant wait to get my copy and watch the behind the scenes content. Did you use a steadycam for the chase scenes Ryan?
You did it again, Ryan.
Very good Ryan, I really enjoyed it. Totally forgot I was watching an acted film. No kidding there. Acting, the cast choices, music and everything else went very well together. A very polished film. Thumbs up from me.
Loved it! Felt like something Stephen King could have written. The tight edit and the sound/music deliver it with a punch!
Nice to see you commenting on this one.
It was a great short that I really enjoyed. I like checking out what other people do :)
That's great. Thank you for the tutorial guys. I learned a lot from Film Riot and from you, Tobias.
Thank you very much for watching and supporting! It's always great to hear that my tutorials are useful to other film makers out there :)
Tobias!
That was phenomenal! I was completely gripped from start to finish, and it was so much more than just your bog standard fighting/action film. In fact, I'm going to have to watch it again!
Seriously great job guys! And I can't wait to see your zombie movie if this (if my memory serves me correctly) was your backup film! :)
Amazing! Gave me a sort of "Maze Runner" feeling.
This was pretty incredible, guys. Very Impressive film making, I love Tell, but I honestly think this is your best.
F'n awesome... You know you have a killer product by the whiney jealous hater comments...
Thanks, Mark!

You guys should make a full length film. Like for real, make a kick starter.
Yes, definitely!
yeah! a Kickstarter would be amazing!
I agree

AMAZING WORK GUYS! Can't wait to see the BTS!
Fantastic work Ryan & Team! Loved every second of this, setting the bar high for short indie films!
Amazing Story, Actors, Environment... Great Piece of Work
Can't believe it took me this long to watch it. Incredible.
one of the best and creative short film I had watched kudos to Ryan ...
I am doing a short film ........action thriller reveal it soon follow me on g+pranav koduri
Ever since I found out that the rock is really just a sponge I can never really think about it the same.
Yeah
Man, just wait until you find out that none of this really happened and this whole thing is fake...
No shit it's fake XD
Hi Im Craiggerz Then what does it matter if the rock is fake ? haha. And i was kidding with you.
What I meant was the first time I watched it, it didn't really come to my mind that it was fake. So now that I come back and watch it, I only really see a guy getting beat with a sponge XD
Great nob! But can someone explain the plot\ twist at the end. Watched it a few times and dont quite get it. Thanks!
It was all a game. The guards and prisoners was all set up by some guys higher than them. When you win the game you become a guard, and the main character decides to kill the other guard to try to escape with the other prisoners..
He decided to break the game, either help the others out of the sick game or just lust to kill all four himself.
There seems to be a higher level of competition. Black Shirts vs White Shirts. and then a Black Shirt vs Black Shirt. Overseeing everything there must be someone else (a la Hunger Games).
If white shirts survive, they become the next black shirts. The ending is a bit ambiguous on purpose. Because we don't know if the main guy shots the other black shirt as a means of ensuring his victory before hand, and thus has embraced the complete concept. Or if this is end, is the beginning of the protagonist rebelling against this system.
Tributes, hunger games, insurrection bla bla bla...
GREAT FILM!
Really great cinematography Ryan! Had me on the edge of my seat!
Why was this so interesting? (I totally expected the guy to smile at the end, though. lol.)
This was brilliant!
I started the film with the mindset of de-constructing the whole thing to learn from it, just analysing everything; but somewhere along the line I completely forgot about all of that and was just immersed in the story. I suddenly found myself on the edge of my seat, holding my breath!
Part 2! Plz
Or another short film as awesome as this
Holy shit this was so awesome I forgot i was on UA-cam, it was more like netflix
this is brilliant! Had me hooked from the start
Awesome!! Reminds me of a sci fi novel I read once, except that these collars were worn around the neck!!
The Mud scene looked and felt extremely real and having no music during that part was brilliant. There were so many things about this that I loved...
This deserves a feature length film!!!!! Im serious I would pay to see it in a second!
And this would make a great feature film
Amazing! Wonderful filming, editing, storyline AND acting!
omg this has to be the best short film i've ever watched
To tell so much in such little time is amazing! I love it
That was amazing! Really well done, great little story
Simple script but perfectly made!
Great short film, was very tense and well directed!
I still get chills when Todd's character takes the leg-piece and puts it on his arm. The music swells, and you get the feeling that his character is gonna take the fight to the hunters. Excellent!
DANG!! Beautiful example of “stop the circle of violence.” BRAVO!!!!
Damn dude....that mud scene
that would suck to do
Felt like I was watching The Raid 2
Wow! By far one of the best short films I've seen. Amazing work in putting this together!
It was great, except for the dialogue, acting, plot, cinematography, music, and editing.
M. Winston
Say whut now xd
There was nothing good about it, except maybe 'production quality'. The use of an expensive camera and a large crew; however, isn't really enough to salvage something so impersonal, artificial, dull, and vapid (not to be too grievous). There is a reason this guy is just making videos for UA-cam.
I'd like to hear why people think this is good, apart from it looking or sounding 'cool'. One should know that I'm a pretty big film nerd though, so I recognize my taste in film is probably a few standard deviations from the norm.
M. Winston
Well yeah. Everyone has different tastes and such. I don't knoq, I just find it to be good. Acting and everything.
M. Winston
Probably because most (short)films are pointed towards normal people like me and many others, and not a movie demigod. So Ryan couldn't care less if a Hipster like you likes or not his short film, I think it's great, the quality of the shots is amazing, the recording style is unique, the color correction and sound effects were just perfect. The plot is captivating and most of the normal people like cliffhangers, so you go to IMDB's top 250 and stay away from Film Riot.
The behind the scenes on this are absolute gold dust. Great example of run and gun filmmaking
Wow Ryan ...you just keep getting better. Your time is coming.
storyline was awesome! would be really cool to see a sequel
THAT WAS AMAZING HAD ME ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT THE WHOLE TIME!!
That was intense
I mean, heart pounding the whole time - I'm sweating
my god this was mind blowing! This was more entertaining then most way bigger budget films!! Mr. Connolly you and you crew are beyond epic!
Wow! Thank you so much. I'm smiling like an idiot now. haha
Exactly as a film should be. Excellent acting, script, pacing, sound, music etc.
GENIUS! :D
I love how you tell the story without a lot of dialogue! Really good Short!
still one of my fave shorts! everything about it is awesome!
This very much reminds me of an olf scifi film named "Wedlock"... loved the concept then... love it now
Coolest thing I've seen in a while! Excellent
Wow! That was literally about 20x better than I was expecting it to be! Amazing job!
I think the story brings only more questions than it answers
I think that may have been the point. In my opinion, stories are meant to leave people thinking.
Just watched this for the 3rd time. Great shots, great color, great look and feel. I'm jonesing to see what you guys have planned for 2015.
This was a sick idea story wise for a fast turn around project
Anyone here after Ballistic?
Amazing work!
This is honestly one of the best short films I have ever seen... Make MORE!
A hero has emerged...A man not willing to continue the cycle of madness...Instead he will amass an army of the condemned and overthrow the power-lords! Awesome guys:)
My short film suggestion of the week. PROXiMITY
just watched this back on my ultrawide. Pure Cinematic Perfection
The acting was superb!
I'm very proud of the guys. They gave 100% in every moment.
Dude, that's whats up! I want to see a feature long movie from you guys.
Just now rewatching this, and again realising how great this one is.
This was sensational!
You want to turn this into a full feature i would pay to go see it, Brilliant story
I like it, great adaption of the film Wedlock. Spot on filming and acting
Excellent work, guys!
Holy shit! That was great! Make a proximity 2!
THE COOLEST PLOT I'VE EVER SEEN OMG soo coool
This had me tensing up more than most Hollywood movies! Fantastic!
Really good, would love to see a full length version
Wasn't expecting that ending. I thought the protagonist turned bad damn. Nice ending!
Oh my gosh, the ending was awesome! Thanks, Ryan!
Well done!
The scene were he drowns the dude really had me on the edge. Great fucking work, guys. This is gold.
It was really good.
will you consider making an extended version which competes the story of the main character? (would love to see a feature length movie from you one day)
Great Work Man! Would love to do something together sometime!!
sup
.
this is amazing.
Great Work !! i like this alot !
Ryan you seriously know how to direct action. It was extremely tense, I loved it.
So good, nice job!
Movie Plot: They live in a Distopian society where there is whats called "The Zone." Similar to the hunger games, six people are randomly selected to enter the zone every year (They must be over eighteen). One person tries to stop the zone, so they rig the choosing to get themself in, then win the zone (making them one of the captains), then they kill the other zone captain. ... someone finish it for me thats all Ive got
Jesus christ your suspense control is AMAZING. that drowning scene was so fucking perfect and the release of the shackles literally terrified me
Thanks so much. Very glad you enjoyed it!
After watching this piece of awesomeness for probably the 5th time...i have one simple question...why in the beginning he didn't steal the car? I mean...come on...there's a freaking car why would you run in the wood with a probably dead man on your back?
Firing up the engine would alert them probably?
@@surajtarani5710 the real question is, why did it drive away in the end but not the start
@@surajtarani5710 also your replying 3 years late ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

this is really good....I am very impressed...
This kept my attention from fade in to fade out. It had that 'WOW' factor. Thank you for making this short film. Great examples I can use for my short film.
Awesome
I really liked this film, and I understand that there is a cycle and that the main character stops the cycle, but I don't understand why the cycle is in place. Why are there people who have to stay together and hunters who need to kill them if they escape?
I think it might be something like the hunger games. They are chosen by the government, and then they make them kill people because they can. That is my theory.
Ah, I hadn't thought of that. I suppose that would really fit the story.
that and why the hell are they using 1940 soviet rifles XD
I honestly think that they were trying to go for a Hunger Games type of movie but kind of failed in explaining it. I was expecting to see a security cam somewhere. I wish I could get an explanation of what they were trying to say tho
It's like the action part of a movie
Nice work Ryan and team... best short I've seen in a while.
wow, that was intense !
I genuinely want to see a full-movie version of this now. Great filming/editing!
That whole sequence in the mud made me feel like I was watching The Raid 2 again
I truly believe that Outsiders can get funded if every Film Riot fan donates $10 through a crowdfunding site...what do you guys think?
Yeah, opening a crowdfunding campaign would certainly be a great idea, I'm sure it could really help you guys with both the production and the post production!
I would love to see this picked up for Hollywood treatment. Hour and a half run time, expanded story, the works. This is a very impressive short film and I hope Ryan expands on this when he makes it big.
Also I gotta comment: two guys with guns hunting people with explosive leg collars in the middle of the woods... and the first thing Jake leads in with when talking to Luke is their clothes? Haha I know it's extremely peculiar but other factors were more grabbing. That's my opinion at least.
Our Motivation ... Even Short Budget Filmmakers Like Us can Also Come up with a hollywood Standard Output ..Great Job .. Looking For more ..
Holy shit the writer of this story has a creative mind, the film was great, the story was great, the audio was great. No one could have done it any better than you guys!
