Deepak - the director of this project here - A little over a year later and I just wanted to come by and say thank you for taking the time to watch our film! We are humbled and never imagined we'd be able to reach this many people.
I was about to complain that the CGI department in this film magically erased all people of colour. Now that I see the name of the director though, I realize that they were busy making the film not acting on it, LOL!
Thank you so much for making this! I'd be so happy to know what'd happen next... And I'd love for this to become a full-length movie. Still: amazing visuals, great story and - in my opinion - great, convincing acting! Love it.
First of all - my respect for a truly compelling movie . It smells a little like bladrunner , but in a good way . Why is it that there are more good indie movies out there than the ones made by the big companies ? Instead of endless prequels , sequels and so on maybe it´s better to make some quality stuff ?
DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT: Hard Reset was my thesis film at the University of Texas at Austin's MFA film program. It is a love letter to my favorite genre across all media, science-fiction. The film was shot natively in stereoscopic 3D with the support of UT3D and It was filmed mostly in studio at UT with some additional location photography around town. The piece is actually a pilot for a much larger project I would like to develop (with or without 3D) using the world we have created. I directed, co-wrote and did all of the visual effects on the film. I am proud of the film as in the past most of my work has solely focused on visuals and lacked clear narrative, and I feel that this is a development and step into the way I would want my future projects to progress. From start to finish it was a passion project that took almost 2 years. It owes everything to the films that inspired me to become a filmmaker and the genre that defines all the stories I want to tell.
I honestly can't adequately express my admiration for what you've accomplished here. I wish you the best on your future endeavors and if this is a sign of the quality your future work will be, I will be expecting great things from you. Now for the bad. If it took 2 years to create this short film, then any sort of sequel or expansion will be some time off. Shop this around to netflix, hulu, prime and so on as fast as you can. Cause I don't wanna wait a moment longer than I have to to see what else you come up with. Seriously, great job man. You got at least one fan so far and I'm betting millions more to come. Keep it up!
You've still got a lot to learn. The special effects were very impressive, but special effects do not a story make. There is the germ of a good story here, but that germ is not new or original. If you wrote the script, try again. It is melodramatic to the point of parody. It is like a 1930s B movie. And pacing? My god, in the middle of an action sequence ( _several,_ in fact ), why don't we just talk it to death? It's like watching paint dry while bullets are flying. If your teachers gave you good grades for this, if none of them said any of the things I'm saying, you should demand a refund from your school. But, on the bright side, on the strength of this audition tape, you can probably find some dumb producer who will bankroll your first mediocre professional project. If you are satisfied with mediocre.
Someone please give this person more money to make a full film. This was wonderful. In under 40 minutes they created a world I want to know more about and sparked my imagination.
This should be the opening part of a blockbuster. The two leads were particularly well done - they have more chemistry than many big movies manage. The actress in particular did an amazing job portraying a character awakening to sentience for the first time. A truly outstanding performance, and I hope we see more of her in films.
Hollywood, wake up and realize your audience is changing and X-Men type films aren't what many of us are after. Pull this director in give him a reasonable budget and you will have the next Bladerunner level movie and shift the entire industry.
This is basically great 'Blade Runner' fanfic, with excellent acting and cinematography. Congratulations on a fantastic job. Hope this becomes a series.

@@Bman846 "The fight scene was kinda cheesy though." Very true. A perfect film would be perfect in every way. But it you can't have everything then cheesy fight scenes with strong narrative and character outweigh the greater cheese of vapid eye candy. That's why these these short films are memorable while today's Hollywood cinematics are uninteresting and forgettable.
This deserves so much recognition that I won’t even hesitate to watch it when it is given a chance to be shown in cinemas. If only more sci-fi movies are like this, no one would think that sci-fi is boring.
The story line has been seen many times before. However, what kept me glued to my seat was the Blade Runneresque tech noir atmosphere with very good acting and effects. This was very well done!
so many times ? I think not that many.Of course, Blade Runner, along with Total recall (did you notice the disk in the guy's head ?). And It reminds me of a short SF I read in the 1970's , I cant ' remember the title, but the subject was also the same : the guy was an human, and he helped the androids (machines) to get free, and to be able to reproduce by themselves, through a device "the craddle". The difference is that the guy thinks until the end that the girl he loves is human. But as a reader *spoil* , towards the end, we know it's not the case. But it's suggested that the android girl is not only pretending to have feelings. We'll never know. If anybody knows this story, the author, I would be glad to read i again ... 40 years after. Just for info, I read the french translation in the 70's.
Yes, the tech was very good. It was the only thing in this film that rose above mediocre. The acting was not terrible, but it was not close to good. I'm not sure if that's the actors' fault or the exceedingly melodramatic script.
Absolutely stunning story telling. I was hooked from start to finish and couldn't take my eyes off the screen. I so very much hope that you follow your dream because I would pay to see a full version on the big screen. Thank you so much for sharing this.
@@watchdust Probably you won't even see this comment or reply I just wanna say your productions and team who did it snd everyone who has been part of this has done fantastic JOB from perspective of deepthinker this artwork evokes thoughts pushing limits of self awareness within myself. Keep the work
Pure io circa un anno fa, ma io banalmente non ho capito il capovolgimento della situazione a circa 36:10 : rappresenta un altro ramo del tempo? o come fa il protagonista a risanarsi e il deuteragonista a non stupirne? Inoltre che sensi ha il circuito che poi si rigira tra le dita? D'accordo che è ermetico volutamente, ma apposta per porci queste domande!
After watching some of the other films I usually click the next movie in line. Not this time, I had to get up and walk around a bit to finish digesting the the movie as a whole. Life is sweet.
I knew I was going to like this when in the first scenes of this automated future world bedside the drawer stuck, and his coffee came out of the wrong spout!
As soon as the movie started, it was the first time I ever said to myself at the beginning, "this is definitely going to be saved to my favorite short sci fi film list".
Holy crap, this is a really good movie!! Seriously! It is disturbing on a few levels. Engaging, disturbing... all in a very fascinating, entertaining way. Kudos to EVERYONE involved in the production of this wonderful work or art! The acting, the special effects, the scenery, the narrative... WOW!
Channels like DUST REALLY make me wish I had so much money, I could finance every single one of these shorts that come of here and similar high quality content channels. great work guys! ty for all you uploads. hope you earn tons and tons of cash for all your work.
@@nobody7817 I wasn't responding to your comment but having watched this short 4 times now, one thing I am certain of is that there are no Silence of the Lambs references contained within.
@Deepak Chetty: A story told well. I have been reading science fiction since I was twelve. I'm 65 so that's a LOT of science fiction. I have always enjoyed stories of robots, "synths", androids becoming sentient, and the struggle they face to find their identity. My preference in these types of stories is that the android becomes this way due to some sort of accident or malfunction, meaning it isn't common to all androids in the story - it doesn't quit fit into the human world, but no longer belongs to the machine world, either. You've left the ending open enough to imagine all kinds of continued story and what Archer will do with Jane's core. I applaud your effort to make the effect enhance the story telling and not to add a lame story to an effect extravaganza. One does not make memorable movies from effects alone. The story in Hard Reset is very compelling. Well done.
@3DPDK are you a fan of I, Robot? it is eerie how super-sophisticated AI seems to be worthy of independence and rights. I love how many films portray bots growing past their programming
@@pauls5745 The second book I ever read on my own in 7th grade (as opposed to school assignment) was "Caves Of Steel" This was Isaac Asimov's sequel to I Robot using the same two main characters of "Spooner" and Sonny, now working as police investigator partners in the Chicago underground. At one time, the book "Caves Of Steel" also included a collection of short stories Asimov wrote for a monthly science fiction publication using the same three characters. Much of the secondary plot or discussions in these short stories dealt mostly with the possibility of robot sentience. Even in the sequel novel, Spooner still has a difficult time coming to recognize Sonny's sentient nature. He understands Sonny's intelligence and ability for creative thought, but has a difficult time accepting Sonny's "self awareness". I must admit Dr Susan Calvin is a cold hearted bxtch in these stories but it is the extreme opposite views between Dr Calvin and Spooner; more pronounced in the stories than in the movie, that makes the subject so dynamic in the book and short stories. ... and yes, I am a fan of both the original story and the Will Smith movie. The movie was faithful to the original story with a few exceptions that I believe it honored Issac Asimov's vision.
I started off with Hp Lovecraft when I was 11yo. My sister had every book he ever wrote. She also had a giant hard back that had everything Edger Allen Poe ever wrote in it but that was much harder to understand.
3DPDK, I strongly suggest reading the full Ender ('s Game) series by Orson Scott Card, all the way through to the last book. There's an AI in it that awakens. .. and so much more goodness. Ender's Game was just the opening book. Card's real vision was a universe without war and the war in Ender's Game was a big mistake / misunderstanding between species. Heck, I'd also read the Dan Simmons books; the whole Hyperion Cantos.. ALL 4 books. Most people stop at the first one, some make it through the 2nd. But the last 2 are SUPER important in the universe Dan creates.
Why does it "have to be made into a film"?? It was a complete story...why do so many people want to turn a great short story into into War and Peace?? There's an irony in the way so many folk nowadays do so many "short" things- Twitter, fast food, etc., but they want to turn a great short story into something longer. :/
I've been using the channel DUST for 32 hours now and it's been a rollercoaster between scifi and horror channel's like this are the reasons I don't watch movies or TV shows the creators of these have alot going for them and I hope one day these creators have wonderful creative full lives
"I can talk to him, he's my friend . . . " No, he's not. That was absurdly obvious before Archer came out from hiding. Classic example of being addicted to a memory of someone who is no longer what they once were. As for the story, of course this has been done before numerous times, a sort of mini-version of Blade Runner, but this was well done, worth watching.
WOW,...OMG,...I CANNOT BELIEVE HOW AMAZING THIS FILM WAS!!!! IT HAS INSPIRED ME TO WRITE THIS: Someday when you tell people of our story, tell them that I said.... "It is for LOVE that we live It is for greater LOVE that we die... But we are greater THAN what we HAVE to be."
the whole "it was just a dream" thing is so cliché i usually hate it but it was very well done here. It does integrate well within the story. I could see this as a full feature length movie or maybe a Netflix original series?
The Days of Hollywood are numbered. The nook and music industries are both noew ruled by indies, as is social media. Film is next and this is a great story waiting to be told on a larger scree.
All of that fancy tech and armor, and they can't even land a shot. Sounds like Stormtropper virus was installed successfully too. Wait, I think that was a simulation.
Peekofwar Agreed. I’m not knocking this film as it was very well done but yes I do hate how this genre ALWAYS displays wonderful, futuristic tech yet nothing can aim worth a shit - except sometimes the protagonist. One would assume that precision aiming is definitely possible in the future!
I thought it was a 15 minute movie for some reason when I started watching and by the end I didn't feel that belief had been challenged at all, so your comment really surprised me.
It wasn't a dream, but rather a flash, similar to the manner Kenau Reeves' character experienced in "Devil's Advocate". The director incorporated it well here. I enjoyed this.
Topics of similar nature have been done in full length movies. What took 2+ hours to explain the story, this short accomplished in a much shorter time and left the view to make their own decision what he was going to do. Not being anything but a viewer, this short kept my attention throughout the entire time. And was true to the stories of this genre.
What a wonderfully written and fresh take on what the future could hold for mankind. So clever how the plot never really shows all the twist and turns, it certainly kept my attention right to the end. Very well done, and I hope you do expand this into a very successful future. Best regards from John in England
The could turn this into a series resembling Caprica, the prequel series to BSG. //Spoiler Ahead// A digital form of the daughter of the creator of the Cylons (who was very opposed to a lot of things that had been common in society) is embedded in all cylons which is what leads to the plot of BSG.
Yes please, we agree..... :) ! We'd love to take a meeting with Netflix! We've got this all planned out as a series, as well as a feature film treatment!
Hmm not so sure if that was even a good move at all - When he uploads the program and Synths already have been 'patched' by GovCentral then we don't have just sentient robots but all hell breaks lose and we have an army of killer Synths - i wonder who they try to eliminate when the emancipation code comes from GovCentral themself : D
"Synth-corp can refer you to a state psychologist if an emotional bond has been formed." That's and Oof. Little creepy too. I've been a widow for the last three years and I have been having a hard time copping with the fact that I am going to either be alone, or, eventually, have to "get back out there" and honestly neither option appeals to me. It really doesn't. I'm 40 years old now and to be blunt I don't have the energy or the drive to go back out there and compete (let's be honest IT'S A COMPETITION. "What's the best you can do, or most you can settle." Your on one side or the other depending on your... assets. Mine, being a widower with 5 out 6 children still dependents, and making an pittance my "assets" are near zero. They take all my time and most of my money (wouldn't have it any other way) so what do I have to offer? Anyway this turned into a weirdly personal rant for a YT comment. I guess the point I was driving at is that from a fairly cold and utilitarian stand point a "synth" partner would make an Ideal partner for me. I need help with the kids and since my "relationship forming days" are for the most part behind me it would work in, other ways too. I'm probably going to erase this comment... hell what do I care, fuck it. It stays up.
The man just said he's got no disposable income. Statutes mandate that an American has to go overseas to meet a potential mate - there's no such thing as "mail order," so stop trying to give stupid advice about something you're completely ignorant of.
Viorp: I guess you didn’t read the man’s post. Next time read it before you comment. Besides mail orders brides are ripoffs and are only for whales with deep pockets.
I enjoy most of this channel's uploads. I'm a big SciFi/Fantasy fan in all the different media. But this particular short was a fun trip! I was drawn in from the get go, so much so that I forgot I was watching a short format film until the end. I love a good twist too and this one didn't fail to deliver. I wanna see a full length version with the same cast. I sure hope you get to expand this world you've createdl. Damn that would be a ride!
This is far beyond a short film level, it's just so awesome and I would pay to watch it in cinema and buy a full DVD/Bluray version for collection as I love robots, just loving it!
I only have one complaint. And that's the volume setting in the upload to UA-cam. Has nothing to do with the production of the actual film as its amazing, but whoever is in charge of these uploads needs to get that right. If I'm watching on my phone on the go, I can barely hear the dialouge.
But if you're plugging satellite speakers (AC, for desktop PC) into your phone be prepared to upset noise-sensitive neighbors during heavy action. The bass bumps from the score and the foley sounds, and not in a bad way 😃
Wow, I finally found a DUST video that was worth watching. Time after time DUST videos have left me almost angry because they end with no pay-off. Well done!
This is a movie that showed what can be done on a limited budget. The attention to detail that made each scene really grounded the feeling of reality. The story was simple without being preachy... subtle yet direct. The fact it was short was actually a benefit. A high budget, studio produced move would have added a lot of filler. with added elements sim;y for the sake of adding them. The elements used here were well budgeted and executed. Well done Deepak!
@@valenesco45 what's more likely, you being a bounty hunter chasing androids down to kill them for avoiding their expiration date or being desperate for the last robot(robo-ho?) you banged?
Realistic! seriously? like a cop just sets his gun down on a table realistic? Like the protagonist turns technician in the middle of apprehending a dangerous android realistic? Realistic like the stilted dialog throughout this short film? Realistic like the street corner "UPLOAD synth diagnostic YES or NO?" Blade Runner is one of the finest films ever made, a seminal work. If you believe your own comment, you are a fool.
The wig girl was ridiculously cute, but then the guy was pretty damned good looking too. After the second viewing; nicely thought out, well done by the director, clearly a good screenplay. Can't even guess at the budget but would guess large, even if done for cheap. Excellent. Seriously well done.
Deepak Chetty, You are a very talented film maker. No kidding. this would be a very watchable series or movie. I also love Scifi. Please don't stop making films. It is your destiny.
Spectacular! I was riveted the entire time. Terrific story, excellent acting, perfect pacing, gorgeous cinematography, suspenseful music. A nice package altogether. Bravo, brava, and touche!
A better question ... why not both? Is "ascension" a zero sum game where one must fall for another to rise? What is ascension? Is it an absolute state of being? One that you simply are not. Until you Are. Zero or One. Or is it a path between the two states? A path upon which your exact location can never be defined with precision. Rather all your potential locations within that transition are a field of probability somewhere between 0 and 1
@@StumpyDaPaladin I guess your question is far more better than the original one, Well I suppose it's the human mentality to destroy weaker and help ascend stronger the coward mentality in some sense. It would be a pleasure to witness if both would rule what's more interesting would be if they created sentient non biological species has the same mentality as humans to supress weaker and help ascend stronger or they will have different approach, I believe it's gonna different but not mentality like us, that's why there's a difference in both life forms. Otherwise other would be a puppet of ourselves
Absolutely amazing talent. From direction, visual effects, acting... I'm seriously blown away by the caliber of this short film. I fully expect to see more from Deepak in the future with Hollywood level backing.

I have watched fifty or so sci fi short films, this was the best so far.
If this was a thesis you were at a really well resourced university. I cannot imagine being able to do anything like this at an Australian university. Great work.
UT Austin has an amazing graduate program with unparalleled facilities and equipment access. I could not have done this anywhere else. Literally. So grateful.
Why do I always find these awesome videos when Im high... Very well done. I figured when he mentioned they were hiding for 6 months but surprised me non the less. Kinda didn't know something "when" is about to happen. Very desceptive movie, props to director. Life is complicated. Any lifeform knows that. It is easier to be a robot hooker than just a regular one, just saying.. I have a point, things change once yuo get a magic pen to write reality with. And it's already real. I mean look at this shit, im watching someones filtered thoughts with people in them that have as vivid mind as everyone elses and they do this random stuf that has a sideffect of bouncing energy that we transform into an eletrical signal that is connected to a finetunning device and a bunch of machinery that is vivid as everyone perceives it to be, will turn out exactly how we imagined it. It's salvation in ignorance when we can't do it with 0's and 1's. Build robots, not santient robots. It will kinda go its course into becoming a fully fledged being. Its the only know we'll know how. Lets hope good people filter more than bad ones.
That was absolutely awesome....thank you for creating that short film...I didn't want it to end..... better than any movie in the theaters....5 stars out of 5 possible.
This was phenomenal! I absolutely loved this film. It was darn near top-tier budget in appearance but still had the low-budget feel. That is not an insult either. It makes you realize two things, that this is on par with amazing Sci-Fi and it is also grass roots in approach. Very well done and I hope that you get to make your full length film! As this was posted nearly two years ago, maybe you already have? Thanks again!
If I ever win the lottery or something where I get a lot of money somehow I’m totally paying whoever made this to make a full length movie because this was absolutely amazing This is the sort of this I would pay to watch
Not too shabby at all - impressive visuals, music. Very good! Always love those twists Dust has in their shorts. Wasn't expecting that and it wraps it up nicely for another episode, which we will hopefully get!
Key “feature” or characteristic of human person is empathy. Compassion for another. No need to turn into a synth for that one. It’s the corporations that rule everyone unfortunately.
A+ film that really connected the fact that robots become more human over time because the more time they spend with us humans, they realize that no matter how much technology is upgraded into their system, they can never advance without our human thought process and most importantly our consciousness.
When she said "Is the rear service exit still preferred?" I almost choked on my iced tea. Solid double entendre. Haven't you people seen Futurama? Don't date robots!
Need this to have a part 2 or more. Best story I have seen yet. There was only one bad shot in the whole thing. During the knife fight when our hero gets stabbed in the leg the knife went on the wrong side of the leg for the camera angle. Still 10 out of 10 , must see the next chapter.

so many times ? I think not that many.Of course, Blade Runner, along with Total recall (did you notice the disk in the guy's head ?). And It reminds me of a short SF I read in the 1970's , I cant ' remember the title, but the subject was also the same : the guy was an human, and he helped the androids (machines) to get free, and to be able to reproduce by themselves, through a device "the craddle". The difference is that the guy thinks until the end that the girl he loves is human. But as a reader *spoil* , towards the end, we know it's not the case. But it's suggested that the android girl is not only pretending to have feelings. We'll never know. If anybody knows this story, the author, I would be glad to read i again ... 40 years after. Just for info, I read the french translation in the 70's.
Yes, the tech was very good. It was the only thing in this film that rose above mediocre. The acting was not terrible, but it was not close to good. I'm not sure if that's the actors' fault or the exceedingly melodramatic script.
Who cares? What, you're special?
Agreed completely. I wish the creators well.
Absolutely stunning story telling. I was hooked from start to finish and couldn't take my eyes off the screen. I so very much hope that you follow your dream because I would pay to see a full version on the big screen. Thank you so much for sharing this.
Yesssssss
This film represents and incredible amount of hard work, talent, and effort by a team of artists destined for greatness.
Very well said - this team did outstanding work
@@watchdust Probably you won't even see this comment or reply I just wanna say your productions and team who did it snd everyone who has been part of this has done fantastic JOB from perspective of deepthinker this artwork evokes thoughts pushing limits of self awareness within myself. Keep the work
Better than many full length films. Top notch storytelling and world building. Best Dust I’ve seen too.
Thank you!
I saw this about a year ago and just re-watched it. It's truly excellent. Great science fiction.
Pure io circa un anno fa, ma io banalmente non ho capito il capovolgimento della situazione a circa 36:10 : rappresenta un altro ramo del tempo? o come fa il protagonista a risanarsi e il deuteragonista a non stupirne? Inoltre che sensi ha il circuito che poi si rigira tra le dita? D'accordo che è ermetico volutamente, ma apposta per porci queste domande!
After watching some of the other films I usually click the next movie in line. Not this time, I had to get up and walk around a bit to finish digesting the the movie as a whole. Life is sweet.
I knew I was going to like this when in the first scenes of this automated future world bedside the drawer stuck, and his coffee came out of the wrong spout!
Fun fact- the coffee gag wasn't in the script, but was a suggestion on set since the dispenser was wonky. Happy accident!
@@Deech when Mr. Coffee malfunctions humanity is DOOMED. 😯
Don Johnson24 😂😂😂
Spaceballs even in the future nothing works
As soon as the movie started, it was the first time I ever said to myself at the beginning, "this is definitely going to be saved to my favorite short sci fi film list".
5:30 "Is the rear service exit still preferred?" 😉
Yeah. I think I thought the same thing.... 🙄
Yeah, all of our dirty minds went there... Lol
lmao. I had to rewind it to see if I heard that correctly
Well who doesnt?
on purpose the dual meaning makes you wonder
haha
Holy crap, this is a really good movie!! Seriously! It is disturbing on a few levels. Engaging, disturbing... all in a very fascinating, entertaining way. Kudos to EVERYONE involved in the production of this wonderful work or art! The acting, the special effects, the scenery, the narrative... WOW!
Channels like DUST REALLY make me wish I had so much money, I could finance every single one of these shorts that come of here and similar high quality content channels. great work guys! ty for all you uploads. hope you earn tons and tons of cash for all your work.
like? there's more?
Deckard - I mean - “Archer” wants to know if the synth dreams of electric sheep? 😎
ya, very original... the real SciTruth of six corporations controlling all the Media U.S.A. citizen see and hear - that's the real nightmare.
Read the book before you reference it to blade runner. Just please?
@@stevetreloar6602 Blade Runner was engineered human clones, not tech. Blood, not batteries.
@@nobody7817 I wasn't responding to your comment but having watched this short 4 times now, one thing I am certain of is that there are no Silence of the Lambs references contained within.
Well said. Good question!
Bravo Deepak. Best short in recent memory. You are going places.
LOL recent memory... Clearly you've already been hacked!
God! that was OUTSTANDING!
Plot, Acting, Effects, Directing, what a true gem. Big thanks and luck for youur future projects!
Archer was the one that was reset, not the Synth.
@Deepak Chetty: A story told well. I have been reading science fiction since I was twelve. I'm 65 so that's a LOT of science fiction. I have always enjoyed stories of robots, "synths", androids becoming sentient, and the struggle they face to find their identity. My preference in these types of stories is that the android becomes this way due to some sort of accident or malfunction, meaning it isn't common to all androids in the story - it doesn't quit fit into the human world, but no longer belongs to the machine world, either. You've left the ending open enough to imagine all kinds of continued story and what Archer will do with Jane's core. I applaud your effort to make the effect enhance the story telling and not to add a lame story to an effect extravaganza. One does not make memorable movies from effects alone. The story in Hard Reset is very compelling. Well done.
This means a lot to me. I am so happy to hear you liked it - as a lifelong sci-fi fan to another - thank you!
@3DPDK are you a fan of I, Robot? it is eerie how super-sophisticated AI seems to be worthy of independence and rights. I love how many films portray bots growing past their programming
@@pauls5745 The second book I ever read on my own in 7th grade (as opposed to school assignment) was "Caves Of Steel" This was Isaac Asimov's sequel to I Robot using the same two main characters of "Spooner" and Sonny, now working as police investigator partners in the Chicago underground. At one time, the book "Caves Of Steel" also included a collection of short stories Asimov wrote for a monthly science fiction publication using the same three characters. Much of the secondary plot or discussions in these short stories dealt mostly with the possibility of robot sentience. Even in the sequel novel, Spooner still has a difficult time coming to recognize Sonny's sentient nature. He understands Sonny's intelligence and ability for creative thought, but has a difficult time accepting Sonny's "self awareness". I must admit Dr Susan Calvin is a cold hearted bxtch in these stories but it is the extreme opposite views between Dr Calvin and Spooner; more pronounced in the stories than in the movie, that makes the subject so dynamic in the book and short stories. ... and yes, I am a fan of both the original story and the Will Smith movie. The movie was faithful to the original story with a few exceptions that I believe it honored Issac Asimov's vision.
I started off with Hp Lovecraft when I was 11yo. My sister had every book he ever wrote. She also had a giant hard back that had everything Edger Allen Poe ever wrote in it but that was much harder to understand.
3DPDK, I strongly suggest reading the full Ender ('s Game) series by Orson Scott Card, all the way through to the last book. There's an AI in it that awakens. .. and so much more goodness. Ender's Game was just the opening book. Card's real vision was a universe without war and the war in Ender's Game was a big mistake / misunderstanding between species.
Heck, I'd also read the Dan Simmons books; the whole Hyperion Cantos.. ALL 4 books. Most people stop at the first one, some make it through the 2nd. But the last 2 are SUPER important in the universe Dan creates.
it was funny how he kept trying to connect with her on a personal level at the begining "can we talk about it"
Yes, emancipate the synths in a society which relies on automation at every level of industry. Brilliant.
This has got to be made into a film. This is one of my most favorite works of art.
Why does it "have to be made into a film"?? It was a complete story...why do so many people want to turn a great short story into into War and Peace?? There's an irony in the way so many folk nowadays do so many "short" things- Twitter, fast food, etc., but they want to turn a great short story into something longer. :/
I've been using the channel DUST for 32 hours now and it's been a rollercoaster between scifi and horror channel's like this are the reasons I don't watch movies or TV shows the creators of these have alot going for them and I hope one day these creators have wonderful creative full lives
Masterpiece. Fastest 40 minutes ever. 💯👏
"I can talk to him, he's my friend . . . " No, he's not. That was absurdly obvious before Archer came out from hiding. Classic example of being addicted to a memory of someone who is no longer what they once were. As for the story, of course this has been done before numerous times, a sort of mini-version of Blade Runner, but this was well done, worth watching.
"No longer what they once were" -- I know this all too well. Why do people have to change like so?
If most most movies were this good every movie would be a blockbuster. Well done Dust.
WOW,...OMG,...I CANNOT BELIEVE HOW AMAZING THIS FILM WAS!!!!
IT HAS INSPIRED ME TO WRITE THIS:
Someday when you tell people of our story, tell them that I said....
"It is for LOVE that we live
It is for greater LOVE that we die...
But we are greater THAN what we HAVE to be."
WOW. Simply amazing a college kid did this with pretty much no budget.
ALL tv networks AND movie studios should be BEGGING to hire him!
Haha thanks - I wish!
UA-cam gives independent producers and actors a direct channel to us, the audience, without having to go through the big movies and TV companies.

@@thegenerousdegenerate9395 Same here. :) peace.
@@thegenerousdegenerate9395 Me too,, I once stepped in it. LOL Movie reference. Know it?
LOL yes!
the whole "it was just a dream" thing is so cliché i usually hate it but it was very well done here. It does integrate well within the story. I could see this as a full feature length movie or maybe a Netflix original series?
they went out of time & she showed her dream and much more. mind blowing!
In the end of the day I embrace this channel.
My future is DUST.
Awesome!! Love the twist at the end. Immediate and timeless
The Days of Hollywood are numbered. The nook and music industries are both noew ruled by indies, as is social media. Film is next and this is a great story waiting to be told on a larger scree.
All of that fancy tech and armor, and they can't even land a shot. Sounds like Stormtropper virus was installed successfully too.
Wait, I think that was a simulation.
Peekofwar Agreed. I’m not knocking this film as it was very well done but yes I do hate how this genre ALWAYS displays wonderful, futuristic tech yet nothing can aim worth a shit - except sometimes the protagonist. One would assume that precision aiming is definitely possible in the future!
They need aimbot 2.0
Did you hear the date?
yeah only one real shot fired and it landed
Nah it must be the blaster 🤣🤣🤣
When 38 minutes feels like 5.
That's called sex!
No f'ing way was that 38 minutes out of my life. Don't believe you.
I legit went and checked how long it was. I still don't believe it!
I thought it was a 15 minute movie for some reason when I started watching and by the end I didn't feel that belief had been challenged at all, so your comment really surprised me.
It wasn't a dream, but rather a flash, similar to the manner Kenau Reeves' character experienced in "Devil's Advocate". The director incorporated it well here. I enjoyed this.
One year late, but I really love the last shot. The stare at the camera and the nonverbal question "Would you do it?".
Kudos where kudos are due.
Topics of similar nature have been done in full length movies. What took 2+ hours to explain the story, this short accomplished in a much shorter time and left the view to make their own decision what he was going to do.
Not being anything but a viewer, this short kept my attention throughout the entire time. And was true to the stories of this genre.
Oh he pluged it in :)
What a wonderfully written and fresh take on what the future could hold for mankind. So clever how the plot never really shows all the twist and turns, it certainly kept my attention right to the end. Very well done, and I hope you do expand this into a very successful future. Best regards from John in England
This channel blows my mind. So many films. So little budget. How is this possible.
Great acting. Made me think. Despite the many versions of the same subject it contained a originality aspect.
Wow what an adventure! Hope to see more of your films!
The concept in this one mirrors where we're heading with AI IRL.... Wonder which road we will take and if the path will be forced upon us ...
Can I hit "like" so hard for this film that it turns into freaking AWESOME?
This should be a full-length movie or a series. Very well done! I'd help crowdfund it.
That dream twist was interesting & I'd like to see if anything becomes of Jane!
She's still out there - in the digital ether!
His friend was simulated, so while he is somewhat droidist, the designed illusion was made-up by AI I'd believe.
The could turn this into a series resembling Caprica, the prequel series to BSG. //Spoiler Ahead//
A digital form of the daughter of the creator of the Cylons (who was very opposed to a lot of things that had been common in society) is embedded in all cylons which is what leads to the plot of BSG.
They need to give this script to the people that wrote Altered Carbon, and turn this into a Netflix show...
Yes please, we agree..... :) ! We'd love to take a meeting with Netflix! We've got this all planned out as a series, as well as a feature film treatment!
Goes to prove love has no boundaries. Awesome. Greatest special effects.Thank you
The fail-safe was a brilliant move by GovCentral!
Not good enough.
Hmm not so sure if that was even a good move at all - When he uploads the program and Synths already have been 'patched' by GovCentral then we don't have just sentient robots but all hell breaks lose and we have an army of killer Synths - i wonder who they try to eliminate when the emancipation code comes from GovCentral themself : D

"Synth-corp can refer you to a state psychologist if an emotional bond has been formed." That's and Oof. Little creepy too. I've been a widow for the last three years and I have been having a hard time copping with the fact that I am going to either be alone, or, eventually, have to "get back out there" and honestly neither option appeals to me. It really doesn't. I'm 40 years old now and to be blunt I don't have the energy or the drive to go back out there and compete (let's be honest IT'S A COMPETITION. "What's the best you can do, or most you can settle." Your on one side or the other depending on your... assets. Mine, being a widower with 5 out 6 children still dependents, and making an pittance my "assets" are near zero. They take all my time and most of my money (wouldn't have it any other way) so what do I have to offer? Anyway this turned into a weirdly personal rant for a YT comment. I guess the point I was driving at is that from a fairly cold and utilitarian stand point a "synth" partner would make an Ideal partner for me. I need help with the kids and since my "relationship forming days" are for the most part behind me it would work in, other ways too. I'm probably going to erase this comment... hell what do I care, fuck it. It stays up.
Mail oder brides mate. I recomend Ukraine or Philipines.
The man just said he's got no disposable income. Statutes mandate that an American has to go overseas to meet a potential mate - there's no such thing as "mail order," so stop trying to give stupid advice about something you're completely ignorant of.
Viorp: I guess you didn’t read the man’s post. Next time read it before you comment. Besides mail orders brides are ripoffs and are only for whales with deep pockets.
@@patrickhughes8164 ... whooosh
It's been 11 months, anything changed since?
I enjoy most of this channel's uploads. I'm a big SciFi/Fantasy fan in all the different media. But this particular short was a fun trip!
I was drawn in from the get go, so much so that I forgot I was watching a short format film until the end. I love a good twist too and this one didn't fail to deliver. I wanna see a full length version with the same cast. I sure hope you get to expand this world you've createdl. Damn that would be a ride!
DDDAAAMMMNNNNNN!!!!! That was defiantly a roller-coaster of emotions there.
Such gems are appearing on DUST! Yet again I am mesmerised. I must watch now a few times before I can comment
This is far beyond a short film level, it's just so awesome and I would pay to watch it in cinema and buy a full DVD/Bluray version for collection as I love robots, just loving it!
:)
WOW! So Good
I only have one complaint. And that's the volume setting in the upload to UA-cam. Has nothing to do with the production of the actual film as its amazing, but whoever is in charge of these uploads needs to get that right. If I'm watching on my phone on the go, I can barely hear the dialouge.
Yes. I had to use the captions
Me too.
I can hear it fine so idk
But if you're plugging satellite speakers (AC, for desktop PC) into your phone be prepared to upset noise-sensitive neighbors during heavy action. The bass bumps from the score and the foley sounds, and not in a bad way 😃
Plug it into your stereo
that exchange by the water between the synth and Archer is absolutley amazing! superb acting, especially the actress and superb scripting. wow!
Wow, I finally found a DUST video that was worth watching. Time after time DUST videos have left me almost angry because they end with no pay-off. Well done!
This is a movie that showed what can be done on a limited budget. The attention to detail that made each scene really grounded the feeling of reality. The story was simple without being preachy... subtle yet direct. The fact it was short was actually a benefit. A high budget, studio produced move would have added a lot of filler. with added elements sim;y for the sake of adding them. The elements used here were well budgeted and executed. Well done Deepak!
Wow, I didn't expect that ending. Great job to everyone involved in making this film.
This appears more realistic than "Bladerunner". If the creators of this film had a big budget to work with, then a box office hit can be made.
Blade Runner: Soft Core
You've got to be shitting me, comparing this to an all time SciFi Classic.
Realistic in what?? Lmfao
@@valenesco45 what's more likely, you being a bounty hunter chasing androids down to kill them for avoiding their expiration date or being desperate for the last robot(robo-ho?) you banged?
Realistic! seriously? like a cop just sets his gun down on a table realistic? Like the protagonist turns technician in the middle of apprehending a dangerous android realistic? Realistic like the stilted dialog throughout this short film? Realistic like the street corner "UPLOAD synth diagnostic YES or NO?"
Blade Runner is one of the finest films ever made, a seminal work. If you believe your own comment, you are a fool.
She is so stunning, perfection. Just couldn’t take my eyes off her. Great short film as well. More more more...
Indeed she was. Gorgeous and yet unusual enough to make her the perfect "synth" actress.
The wig girl was ridiculously cute, but then the guy was pretty damned good looking too. After the second viewing; nicely thought out, well done by the director, clearly a good screenplay. Can't even guess at the budget but would guess large, even if done for cheap. Excellent. Seriously well done.
Deepak Chetty, You are a very talented film maker. No kidding. this would be a very watchable series or movie. I also love Scifi. Please don't stop making films. It is your destiny.

Thank you! ♥️
@@josephinemcadam6185 You're a great actress.

Best sci-fi movie since my last hard reset! Good job!
Creation of synthetic beings leads to sentient beings. The question becomes "Who is the more worthy to ascend?"
For universe the more worthy and powerful shall ascend while breaking laws of ethics. It's not game of beings it's a war between universe and ethics.
A better question ... why not both?
Is "ascension" a zero sum game where one must fall for another to rise?
What is ascension? Is it an absolute state of being? One that you simply are not. Until you Are. Zero or One.
Or is it a path between the two states? A path upon which your exact location can never be defined with precision.
Rather all your potential locations within that transition are a field of probability somewhere between 0 and 1
@@StumpyDaPaladin I guess your question is far more better than the original one, Well I suppose it's the human mentality to destroy weaker and help ascend stronger the coward mentality in some sense. It would be a pleasure to witness if both would rule what's more interesting would be if they created sentient non biological species has the same mentality as humans to supress weaker and help ascend stronger or they will have different approach, I believe it's gonna different but not mentality like us, that's why there's a difference in both life forms. Otherwise other would be a puppet of ourselves
Absolutely amazing talent. From direction, visual effects, acting... I'm seriously blown away by the caliber of this short film. I fully expect to see more from Deepak in the future with Hollywood level backing.
I have watched fifty or so sci fi short films, this was the best so far.
Have you seen "Seam"?
Stunned by the extraordinarily high quality of this production. On a completely different level from what is being produced by Hollywood these days.
This is a talented crew, keep an eye out for them in the future

I have a point, things change once yuo get a magic pen to write reality with. And it's already real.

This was phenomenal! I absolutely loved this film. It was darn near top-tier budget in appearance but still had the low-budget feel. That is not an insult either. It makes you realize two things, that this is on par with amazing Sci-Fi and it is also grass roots in approach. Very well done and I hope that you get to make your full length film! As this was posted nearly two years ago, maybe you already have? Thanks again!
Holly shit, that was better than 95% of the movies that come out of holywood
Sebastian his partner "Gregg Henry" was in the 1999 Mel Gibson film "Payback" and a few other big movies, he is really good actor.
Pretty darn good. Great special effects.
If I ever win the lottery or something where I get a lot of money somehow I’m totally paying whoever made this to make a full length movie because this was absolutely amazing
This is the sort of this I would pay to watch
Not too shabby at all - impressive visuals, music. Very good! Always love those twists Dust has in their shorts. Wasn't expecting that and it wraps it up nicely for another episode, which we will hopefully get!
Key “feature” or characteristic of human person is empathy. Compassion for another. No need to turn into a synth for that one. It’s the corporations that rule everyone unfortunately.
A+ film that really connected the fact that robots become more human over time because the more time they spend with us humans, they realize that no matter how much technology is upgraded into their system, they can never advance without our human thought process and most importantly our consciousness.
When she said "Is the rear service exit still preferred?" I almost choked on my iced tea. Solid double entendre. Haven't you people seen Futurama? Don't date robots!
Must admit I picked up on that. We're going to hell. But great movie.
Need this to have a part 2 or more. Best story I have seen yet. There was only one bad shot in the whole thing. During the knife fight when our hero gets stabbed in the leg the knife went on the wrong side of the leg for the camera angle. Still 10 out of 10 , must see the next chapter.
