More About "PARTNR":
Jackie is a young ER doctor, who has always been dedicated to her job. She has worked hard to provide for her patients, so much so, it has taken a strain on her past relationships in life. She solves the problem with a PARTNR, a battery powered significant other. Ethan, Jackie's PARTNR, is the full package: handsome, neat, stable - it's a no brainer when she programs him to propose. However, Jackie's errand to the store for a set of batteries puts her on a crash course with fate, or in this case, Dave. The connection between the two is evident and ultimately makes her question what makes a relationship “real”.

Hey! Thanks so much for spicing up your Valentine’s Day by watching my short film
❤🎉I love ❤️ 😍 the 🍟 ♥️ Uma Thurman 🎉❤Look-Alike ❤😅I wouldn't mind 😉 having her for a PARTNR ❤😅
I would LOVE to have a PARTNR for myself!!! Great movie BTW. That's us in a 100 years or so!
No thank you...I had my soul mate/twin flame until he passed a few years ago. Could never settle for an unemotional, impersonal, uninvested, relationship without passion after him! Too cold and empty, think I would feel more lonely than by just being alone. Big difference between being alone and being lonely, AI ain't gonna fill that gap...🙄😏
@@kojo7485 Afuckingmendude! IFKR!
@@sweetpealee056 so true! No one can replace that twin flame 🔥
Columbus Ohio what a lovely hometown
Yes!! Loved filming and growing up there.
@@kaylinallshouse I went to Worthington schools, definitely a great place to be
That is so sad.
Had a wonderful time producing this!! So glad everyone gets to see it now! And now I can finally settle the debate- Would you want a PARTNR??
If you could be my PARTNR…yes.
Sure... I wonder if I would get bored though?
If my money 💰 🤑 💸 is right ✅️ 😤
A partner yes but.....i have my own life and i don't want to give it up. A partner must be an addition to my life not my only purpose. I work very hard and creative in industrial automation and home control and solar. So the time where i not at work i will have some happy free time. There is an empty place but the women today don't want a partner like that. That is my personal experience and so i decided to life alone and have my fun for myself. BTW i'm strong enough to do so and at the end we all die alone, nobody will die with us together.
@@mikeunum you sad little thing
The young man playing Ethan did an excellent job, he reminds of Brent Spiner as Data.
Also Sheldon Cooper looking.
Don't you mean Wesley Crusher?
@@hamster2845, now that you mention it, I do see the resemblance.
And, the woman playing Jackie looks like Navalny.
I like how it ended. You give the impression of how things will likely play out without overdoing it, leaving some room for imagining other outcomes. Well played.
What a nice video! Jackie has nice "Uma Thurman" looks btw ;) Let's hope our world never gets as dystopian as what we've just seen here, humanity can't be replaced by a computer.
And if it does…I hope my robot will be as supportive as Ethan
Hahaha, could not agree more with the "uma thurman" comment (although, I do think the 'u' and 't' would be capitalized, as it is the name of a person)
@@KyleBower you mean couldn't agree less... We both made a mistake
How do I put in am order....
That 'stranger' was like a modern day Socrates. "I cannot teach anybody anything. I can only make them think".
I really liked this short. The actress, the colors, the acting, music, oldschool looking etc. 👏👏👏 Bravo!
Melinda nanovsky is so talented and beautiful. Good to know her in this short.
I love the old school chromatic aberration crappy lens / noisy film look.
Should have been titled: Toys R Us, the ultimate adult toy store. Things may be getting that advanced quicker than we realize! Well done. Good acting. 👍👍
hello! i am the director of photography on this short - feel free to ask me any questions on the visual side of things :)
10:11 the red shimmer on her face was weird and distracting.
Loved the color for the film!! Every frame feels like a painting 🖼️
@@MrAgmoorenoted!
How did you get that superior shot through the trees when they were outside the PARTNR location talking to one another? It looked like a drone shot but it was static. Did you have that on some kind of boom or were you taking that from another building?
Thank you for sharing your work with us.
Sort of reminds me of the film "Her". In a way, we're almost at the beginning edge of this now, with virtual AI avatar "girlfriends", that some have already become addicted to.
Side note… Real boyfriends need "maintenance" too, if you catch my drift. 🙂
🐼 Big Panda Bear Hugs from a 70 yr old grandma in Texas, USA and by the way l'm subscribed and l hit Like. 🐼 ❤ 🎀
Really good story, and well developed.
💗Happy valentines💗
Well done! Way too close to what our not too distant future reality might look like! A sequel would be exciting!
❤🎉Happy ❤Valentines 💝 💖 💕 💓 ❤️ ♥️ 💝 Day🎉❤
What are the chances that Jackie is Uma Thurman's twin separated at birth?
I thought the length was good. I suppose you could write out chapters and develop the characters over time. I enjoyed it, well done 😊
Thank you! I don’t think this is the end of Jackie and Dave’s story 🤞🏻
Yes! I totally agree, took the words right out of my mouth.
I always feel a little frisson of excitement upon meeting someone who seems like he'll mess things up before I have a chance to 😅😪
That was nice. Thanks!
Oh my goodness!! AI is crazy to think about and this really brought it to a new level.
I feel grateful. It’s perfect on all levels, and the acting of Melinda Nanovsky is awsome. Out of the 697 short Sci-Fi DUST movies I saw (and classified), it’s amongst the top 33.
Forcing you to do things you don't want. Grabbing you and physically pulling you to do them. Denigrating your values when you tell them what's important to you (stability). Spending every Saturday hanging out in the same bar. Sounds like she's better off without him.
I see what point the short is trying to make, but given how obnoxious, pushy and overall red-flaggy the "real nice guy" is, I think on the contrary it reinforce the opposite point, which is women are way better off alone or with safe robots than with real men who don't give a shit about their consent. XD
So @kaylinallshouse I liked your flick very much but what had me laughing early on was once I realized that Ethan was a bio-mech /droid [?] I thought this would be totally different for a guy. I fear especially with the narrative thats getting inserted into the public domain today [or not ha ha] GUYS would just keep buying batterys /;^|)
~
That might maybe be a good "mirror" or whatever you call that dichotomy→ potential next fun project to produce.??? he he
Thax for producton, really enjoyed
Completely agree! Was excited to write this from a women’s perspective without thinking too much about the sexual implications of the robot, which I think always gets alluded to with guys and robots.
I’d be excited to explore Dave’s side of the story more here and his…”nerves” in buying batteries for himself :)
LMAO @@kaylinallshouse you killed me, it did not even dawn on me she NEVER really went sexual, your right HA!
Well men just what can we say....well noted NICE call 10 point for U!
/;^)
Semper Prorsum
Hey! It was just getting interesting ... then ended!
I hope they make a longer one to follow up this one ✌️🤞
They won't cheat, they won't leave you and make your life hell with maintenence charges....... at least they won't hurt
Was this film shot on a 16MM camera and film , it was great !
Yes! We shot on Kodak 16mm single perf 7207 + 7219. Everyone on team had never used film before (except the cinematographer!) so we were really excited to learn and so happy with how it turned out.
How can you tell? Serious question
@@TheDweeb002we put Kodak on at the end of the credits but he might be able to tell with the grain/ another way.
wait...Riverside...Wexner...is this set in Columbus?!?
we see it in a movie today but soon this will be normal and men and woman getting married
will be seen as strange . Just as in the times of Noah .
Usually a cliffhanger outrages me but this one is so good! So true and relatable!!!!!
Great short! Would love to see another hour of this movie!
Thank you and me too!! Maybe a feature film in the works 🤔
I regret to desagree with you. I find this is the perfect length for this story
Great short, though Dave could have made a better case than he did!
He’s…not the best with his words 😅
Judging by chatgpt right now, i think it'd be more convincing than that.
Hmm I think they are still getting these PARTNRS demo tested
Muy buenos cortometrajes, pero quieren llegar a 10 millones de sub? Traduzcan sus cortometrajes a español latino y tendrían más alcancé..... Claro ejemplo como lo hizo mst be
I was laugh/crying as they ended the video. Perfect timing. Very well done.
OMG, Riverside, Wexner, set in Columbus Ohio? :D
Yes! Cbus, but make it the future
This was great! Seemed like a warning message about the dangers of using robots/AI instead of real humans for love .
Definitely can read that way! I think there’s totally pros and cons- everything’s about what you’re truly looking for.
The scale was originally designed in 1964 by the Russian astrophysicist Nikolai Kardashev (who was looking for signs of extraterrestrial life within cosmic signals). It has 3 base classes, each with an energy disposal level: Type I (10¹⁶W), Type II (10²⁶W), and Type III (10³⁶W). Other astronomers have extended the scale to Type IV (10⁴⁶W) and Type V (the energy available to this kind of civilization would equal that of all energy available in not just our universe, but in all universes and in all time-lines). These additions consider both energy access as well as the amount of knowledge the civilizations have access to.
facts
Where are men like you hiding out these days?
That dude did a good job. The Ethan actor was good too.
Am going to have several of these when they become available hell yea!
Bravo! So happy to finally get to see this. Loved it!
Me too!! I’m glad you enjoyed
🍒🍒🍒
Yeah, eventually robots will become better than that. It's just a matter of time. And eventually they will also gain consciousness and afterwards humans will be debating the ethics of conscious robots, if it's slavery or something.
Reminds me a bit of the film "I'm your man." But this is even better. It conveys the same idea more quickly: that android romantic relationships, though stable, are ultimately unfulfilling. Though for people who are not looking for love, they are better than nothing. I suspect when they are mass-produced and less expensive and better designed that now that they will be best-sellers.
This is SO the future.....if we don't wipe ourselves out first....which considering things would be god send.
Excellent … yet really sad ..
Hola! Empezaré diciendo que siempre me ha gustado la ciendia ficción, y estoy disfrutando mucho del canal.
Hasta ahora, en los cortos que estoy viendo, los posibles futuros son casi todos muy oscuros y heteronormativos en su mayoría. Ceo que es en este corto que he visto por primera vez una paraja del mismo sexo, aunque sea de fondo...
Ótimas atuações! Apesar dos personagens terem vidas um pouco patéticas, a história acaba sendo divertida, e o final em aberto é perfeito.
Excellent
Nice
Loved it!
Wow! Loved this!
I got a huge Alison Burke Square Hole flashback from the opening scene, so I had to go watch that (with redemption, of course) again. Well done.
Plot twist: She dumps fiance, ends up with Dave. After a week she pulls out Dave's batteries as well, her attempt at make-believing spontaneous romance unfulfilling.
WOW. Love this idea.
In the Middle East, next to an ongoing war watching DUST just to escape from reality
Oh how creepy bring your f bot to a date!👽
Very interesting....A different twist
Did she or did she not look for David next Sat. night?
I like to think she goes back, but chickens out…and then runs into him again somewhere else. Either way, I dont think their story is over. 🍒
@@kaylinallshouse I think she runs into him again too. Her robot pal just wasn't doing it for her or me 🙂
Loved it!!!
Oops, ain't that always the way?
A shorter video from DUST is better but amazing Sci Fi Clips.
Very well done. Somewhat cliche on the robot side. I was expecting a jealousy reaction.
Mo thanks
this is the best thing i ever saw
Thank you 😊 I’m glad I could provide
Sad 😢
Fantastic
Excellent
Well done, a very good watch!
Soon? 😁
Brilliant 😢 😊
That was nice. Congrats!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Do the people at Dust just not read any comments? They never did fix the messed up episode of the podcast Chrysalis, so no idea what happened in episode 11.
Oh, I loved this, I want to know what happens
Do you think she goes back looking for Dave or figures out her life with Ethan?
@@kaylinallshouse Maybe she connects with Dave and Ethan meets up with Dave’s artificial girlfriend.
@@yarrow2847 😉 I was thinking something similar…that is if Dave really DOES have a PARTNR
fAIke is not the answer
She looks like uma thurman shes georgeus
🤔
I’m bi and I love this :)
Please with no disrespect but give your head a shake and Dust off the keyboard and try writing a longer ,mybe a hour or so, cause I haven't watched in a while and this one reminded me of why I stopped watching cause they get good to quick and then it's over, ya'll should do a hour long episode every now and again for your loyal subscriber's and I bet you some money man will put up the money and then you know your team is signing a contract with Netflix for a lot of money for a few episodes and then you go
This was definitely disrespectful.
An hour long look at Jackie, Dave, and Ethan's characters' story sounds soooo good!
Not everything on the channel is an hour long. There's something for everything. Why leave a negative comment on this video instead of sending a direct message to Dust?
Man! These entitled know it all commenters crack me up 😂
Actually, I personally doubt that women would buy or use male robotic partners. It would be impossible to take comfort by sitting on a robot's lap. It has no strength of its own. Worse, a robot does not have real feelings and it would be useless to slap, insult, reject or humiliate one. If you own a robot, you can't emotionally destroy it by arbitrarily breaking up with it. There's no damage to inflict. If a woman arbitrarily rejects a robot's sexual advance, it feels nothing. What joy is there in that? Women would hire robot butlers or maids, but never lovers. On the other hand, men would find female robots a lot safer. They won't say no, they won't start arguments over nothing, and they won't have a fit if you forgot about valentine's day.
Are you some kind of incel? You write like someone who hasn't been within 3 feet of a woman or ever talked to one.
Bro I litteraly just posted nearly the same perspective about guys that the plot would be different, we would just keep buying batterys" ha ha ahhhhh
oK so I am near 60 been married/& dvrcd ......and thats what I say [or it would be FAF anyway]
WHat about you demographics/data?
/;^)
Hes a guy writing about a woman or women @@googlesucks6029 so, do you know how to write about women properly w\context???
oK @@googlesucks6029 so that was a trick question [maybe]
