Hey everyone! Maxwell Nalevansky here, I wrote With Pleasure and co-directed it with Carl Fry, if you have any questions feel free to ask! Hope the film makes you feel something!
It is really well shot and the set and costume design is top notch. It gave me twin peaks vibes i know duh but yeah like that show it left me confused, kinda hypnitised and full of questions....and it also gave me flashbacks to literature class which was rough XD
I feel like, the fruits with the clock in front of them are a metaphor- what were you thinking when doing this shot? Btw awesome that you give us the possibility to ask questions!
Great short. My interpretation of it is that the club is purgatory & the characters in it are 'angels' from different eras (hence the quotes from various historical figures). They are there to escort the newly dead to their next destination. It doesn't matter what the dead do, the angels know the dead's outcome is their appointed death. The chanting, singing, etc. is all part of the ritual to aid in the dead's passage to wherever they end up next.
I've never taken LSD but I imagine this is what it is like: some weird shit inside a Tartantino movie. Trippy and kept my interest all the way through.
Forget LSD...this shit is like the hallucination 8 had when I was placed in an induced coma. If you want to truly frighten someone, who them rhat which is within your reach qnd also just outside of your grasp. If the devil you don't know is still recognizable as something that could be the devil you know, you will never truly know who to trust.
I love this film bc it's exactly my aesthetic. Dark but with flashy colors, poetic but kinda gorey, it has a retro feel yet it also has futuristic elements, and it's just really weird and chaotic and beautiful. I love it!
The last character with cherry syrup dripping down his head, is he meant to be the soul of the robber joining their purgatory? In any case this was dope!

looks like someone had a great time making this - although the end result will leave most viewers (including me) wondering wtf they just watched. Beautifully made...a script to die for - but ultimately out of reach and esoteric to all but those most able to ask, "but darling...is it art?". [edit...this bloody film has grown on me sooo much! It's like checking out a Picasso> "I don't know what it is but I like it"]
As always, I never miss a chance of finding humor in these Horror Films. I mean girls are being intimate and that guy is quoting some great quotes. Thank You Alter for giving us good thing
Very interesting in a good way. I liked it. Well shot. More psychedelic than horror, but I think that's fine. Don't let the mean-spirited comments from the Simon Cowell wannabes get you down. Make more.
Hahaha thanks! I love all reactions great or terrible haha, its amazing to see people react strongly to 7 minutes. I do agree though, we didnt set out to make a horror film in particular !
@@maxwellnalevansky1828 Ah! I will give it a 3rd watch. I am obviously no experts in Quotes & proverbs since I only picked up 1, but that is such a great concept. Done so well 👍
I was entranced, curious, oddly hypnotized by not knowing what was going to happen (didn't read description first), and at the end perplexed, but kept my attention, then read the description and made more sense. Bravo! :)
This was good! It’s my understanding that everyone died in different decades (the black couple gave it away… their attire looked like something from the late 1800s?) i just wonder … how did the robber end up there? I like how this was shot. Im definitely going to watch again
Eu acho que ele morreu, mas não aceitou a morte, e dentro desse bar as pessoas e a cantora, que eu julgo ser algum tipo de guia pós morte, fizeram ele aceitar a morte, representando isso como um suicídio
This was hilarious and I loved it. The best kind of pretentious is the self-aware kind. You wanna speak all in quotes? Cool. Just also be colorful, trippy, probably drunk, and have some burlesque going on, and I'll be right there with you, baby.
If you could see my face. I wouldn't have to type a word to express "This is badass awesome!! There's a touch of Natural Born Killers, the Warrior's Way, Sin City and more together!! Badass awesome!! This one goes back Pink Floyd The Wall movie.
I think that the dead, with pleasure, gave the guy all the earthly belongings they had to him since he was a physical being. You can't take stuff with you when you're dead. Then, when he shot himself, they dumped all the physicality away on a boat.
Loved the film, and loved you in it. Great performance and kudos to you and everyone involved. I now really want to know how each characcter found their way to that place. All of you should be proud and I hope it only springboards the career of all who contributed.
This was incredibly unique and cool . Also I get the sense that the bar staff and patrons are down to chill anyone and welcome new customers as long they don’t have bad intentions . And if they do , they suffer the consequences and meet their well -deserved fate like that dumbass With the shotgun lol
But why are these small actors doing so much better acting than those A-list actors making millions of dollars right now? The movies are so bad. But these are just beautiful.
Wow! Pretty sure you covered nearly every western civ genre in seven minutes, with style, humor, discomfort, and remarkable confidence. Exceptional tone shift from an almost surreal atmosphere to gritty realism. Really well done!
0:09 "As Thick as Thieves...As White as Snow As Black as the Raven's Wing...As Cold as Stone"... NOSTALGIC!!! Reminds Me of Lenka's "EVERYTHING AT ONCE" From 2014✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌ Love You Alter!!!
Ok this was cool,but it's too short😭 the shots and the camera work were SO beautiful and the entertainer was amazing I couldn't stop looking at her and what she was gonna do next. Poor robber-guy tho,but you did interrupt their evening my dude
I’d love an indie film of this where you aren’t given context, but over the film you see some attendees suffer the same fate as the robber or join or simply disappear. Then there is a slow realization of the audience that this club is where you go when you die to either join or pass through. And then there are a few rare folk who step in the club by mistake and back out. (The people with a near death experience or briefly dead and so revived.) It like a horror version of Moulin Rouge.
With Pleasure is a surreal horror movie, maybe a dead end dark corner of the world that not meant to be found. Maybe it is quite similar to @augusts1 theory and it's perfect kind of heaven for me 😏😏. I loved the characters in the bar and I wish there would be an art horror feature movie of "With Pleasure". Thank you ALTER for given such Lucid and surreal fantasy for a short time ❤
Ever since your Halloween show it's been getting better and better. Not saying that it's hasn't always been good. I love Alter so much!! But this... this was AWESOME!!!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Maybe it’s just me , but I could go for a full length with the ‘ quote thing ‘.
I’m a huge horror lover and this was amazing! It was so different and inventive!

Or demons...
@@SigridRodriguezM How about angel-demons? Purgatory is a place between heaven & hell afterall.
Wow these videos really have some depth to them 😨
I like the way you look at it. I have to agree in this POV.
So essentially its Death Parade.
Robber: "Give me all your shit or I'll shoot"
The Room: "Shoot Shoot Shoot Shoot"
🤣🤣🤣🤣 That should've been the cue to leave!
IT WAS ALREADY TOO LATE hahaha
Lmao 😂

That Criminal Is Coward
RIP The Criminal That Committed Suicide
aww thats the nicest thing anyones ever said, bless you
Couldn't have said it better myself brother
Same, all the quotes and eccentric people were so incredibly entertaining
watching this at 5 in the morning while you're half asleep enhances the experience.
LOL bless up
The last character with cherry syrup dripping down his head, is he meant to be the soul of the robber joining their purgatory? In any case this was dope!
"Things are gonna go from sweet to sour really quickly!"
Why was this so funny to me? 😂
glad you laughed, I wanted you to!
Finally, a film that understands my fear of proverbs!
I regret watching this stoned, cuz I was straight up freakin' out 😂😂😂

@@WatchALTER keep up the good work! 💪🏻
I loved the casting especially the cherry girl. Real lady love. Beautiful. Unusual and thoughtful.
My friend's dreams: Omg, I went on a date with my crush!
My dreams:
Okayyyyy, I didn't understand that at all and my head hurts now since my brain couldn't comprehend it
I love that I picked this short film randomly and one of my favorite artists (Shakey Graves) was in it.
He is why I actually came here to watch this haha

Ouuuuuu I like this !! Very cool effects . And overall just fantastic 👌
This feels VERY Twin Peaks & I’m here for it ❤️
I'm a bit late to this, but thanks for reminding me what this reminded me of!
ALTER is otherworldly ☠️
I remember that was a Plato Quote ; ' Only the dead have seen the end of the war'. Clever it was incorporated into this film. 👍 From Australia
thanks Jessica! Much of the films script is comprised of quotes and proverbs :)

Is it just me or this one is actually a bit more funny than terrifying ?
Im glad you laughed! We wanted ya to!
The robber reminded me of the beginning of "House of 1000 Corpses".
Total masterpiece. A true psychedelic journey. I'll watch it again right away. 💫
aww damn thanks for the support! A psychedelic journey can be just what the doctor ordered ;)
Total comedy. A true hackneyed story. I'll never watch it again.

Well... Guess he picked the wrong bar to rob... ALTER U GUYS NEVER fail u rock!!

An interesting one! I loved all the quotes throughout
This comment right here! Yes!
What's the music?! It sounds so amazing!
Thanks! The score is by German Suane, he also scored Jazzberry. The opening song is only available in the film, thanks again!

So excited to share our film! We have been dreaming about this for so long! THANK YOU! ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥

Its very Trippy like tarantino movie and I like it

Love You Alter!!!
Thank you! Was such a fun song to write, German Suane the composer did an unbelievably incredible job with the musical accompaniment
Ok this was cool,but it's too short😭 the shots and the camera work were SO beautiful and the entertainer was amazing I couldn't stop looking at her and what she was gonna do next. Poor robber-guy tho,but you did interrupt their evening my dude
Ariel Ash is just the best performer, you gotta check her out! QUEEN. But yah....he got was he had coming!
If this song is streaming somewhere please let me know I can’t find it. 😢
Pretty cool, really
Yoo! This is beyond cool!! I feel as if the club is a place the dead go.. the shooter is sent to his final destination in the boat by the 😈 demons..
Give me all your shit or things are going from sweet to sour really fucking fast 😂😂😂😂

Always a fan of Alter. I always get excited when I see your name in my notification.
See? The dead don't want to be upstaged by the living. It has very dire consequences.
indeed.....
I don’t understand it at all but it was artistically beautiful
aww thats Sabri! Give it another watch, might effect you differently the second time!
THAT! Was freaking weird... but I loved it!!!
"Be careful what you wish for, lest it come true!" A very well done production here. Thank you.

Compliment of the decade
