At the end.... He sees where he is going.... After a hard and lonely struggle.
I think we can relate to the lone journey we are all on despite so many people around us.
Thank you for this beautiful, thoughtful comment. It's a great feeling when a film you've made has such an effect. Thanks again!
A haunting movie. Very slow moving and uneventful, but still worth the watch.
After reaching his destination the townsfolk could've at least fed the courier, before his long journey back.
Thank you so much for this lovely feedback. The Courier knew what was ahead of him and had a destination in mind, and although it's not specifically stated, I would suspect that he refused any offer of hospitality in order to get there as soon as possible. Thank you again for taking the time to interact!
How can something so beautiful make you feel so sad? Excellent work. Sound needed some work but aside from that one of the best and moving films I've seen.
Thank you so much for your incredibly kind feedback. Unfortunately our sound required a lot of work and is not quite there in places, but I think we learned a lot from the process. Again, I'm so happy you enjoyed our film, and your kind words have brightened our day. Thank you!
A beautifully made reminder that we should never give up on our principals. Just when I needed one the most. It reminded me, that I have to walk through hell, to appreciate paradise when I get there.
Thank you for such a beautiful and thoughtful comment. I'm really happy that you were able to find something in our little film that resonated with you. I wish you the best on your journey!
I found this late--but the amount of tears shed made up for the delay.
Thank you so much for your comment, it's great to hear when our films have an impact on someone. Happy you enjoyed the film!
Normally I watch dust and omeleto I hope there's more like this here cuz then I'll have three channels to watch on a regular basis. Very very very well done
Hey man, thank you so much for the comment and the complimemt. Very happy to hear we're keeping good company here on UA-cam!
I did get a chill at the end. Doing the right thing is it’s own reward. Nice little film.
Thanks for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful comment!
it feels so good in your gut when you hold by your principles, no matter what.....
Absolutely agree! Thanks so much for taking the time to comment!
Is this he young man a DEATH himself? I just watched 7 mins of the film.
Half way of the film, wow!! The actors are PHENOMENON HERE. The film is tragically beautiful.
Finished it. What a beautiful story.
I feel like the young man is not the Death but the old man’s “inner doubt”.
Thank you for taking the time to watch our film and leave such thoughtful feedback, you have a unique and intriguing interpretation! Thank you again!
Man, that was amazing! My wife and I both cried so hard at the end! Great work from all involved, and such a wonderful location!
Thank you for the great feedback again, and happy to hear we made your wife cry!
@@OctoberFifteen Makes a pleasant change from me doing it!
Very poignant and very authentic, I felt like I was there with the courier. I admired his persistence, his stalwart determination to see it through, and felt exhausted and relieved at the end. It’s sad but somehow pleasing, I really liked your characters and your story. Thank you from Virginia, I love stories from across the pond.
It makes me so happy when I read comments like this, from someone who has really embraced the story and truly gets it. Thank you for taking the time to watch our film, and sharing your thoughts with us. I hope you enjoy more of our work in future. Thank you again, from Scotland! ♥️
It sounded like the younger guy that appeared from nowhere was Satan in disguise, trying to convince the old man to give him his soul in return for happiness that's basically temporarily.
Pretty much spot on!
One of the best I have seen.
Such an amazing compliment, thank you. So glad you enjoyed the film!
I love that there is an older guy in the story😊
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a comment! We love Alex, and he's amazing in this! ♥️
@@OctoberFifteenreally great😊
Thank you Mark, Alex, Martin, and crew ! Beautiful, haunting little film. One of the very best I've viewed.
Mark here! Thank you so very much for your comment! It means so much when our film finds its way to people like yourself who really appreciate it. Thank you again! ♥️
.... don't give up, in what you know is your right duty....
Beautiful comment, we couldn't agree more! Thank you!
Beautifully done!
Thank you so much for your kind feedback!
Wow! You made something beautiful.
Thank you so much for your comment, it's gratifying to know that our film is appreciated ♥️
Didn’t know a one second scene could give me insta-tears.
I think I can probably guess which one-second scene you're referring to! Thanks very much for the great feedback!
Very powerful story. Hope you'll do more. Amazing.
Thank you so much for that fantastic feedback. We are currently working on more films, and hope you enjoy some of the other films on our channel!
Excellent. Thank you!
Thank you! Very glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful countryside. Great music and acting.
Thanks very much! It's one of the most beautiful places in the world. Come to Scotland!
@@OctoberFifteen Gonna have to do that someday bro!
Very well made.
I feel like the young guy was just an apparition of the old mans inner demons.
Thanks for sharing
Hey, thanks for taking time to leave your kind comment. We really appreciate when people share their thoughts and interpretation of the story! Thanks again! ♥️
only 15 comments!?! Bravo on this piece! Well done!
Hahaha I know, more people should definitely be watching and talking about this film! Seriously, thank you so much for your comment. This film has a lot of meaning for me so it makes me happy when others find enjoyment in it.
The red building, Bank school, New Cumnock, many happy memories there.
Absolutely brilliant on every level. Enjoyed every nanosecond of it! Bravo & gratitude October 15🙏💙
Thank you so much for this beautiful comment, I'm so happy you enjoyed our little film. The gratitude is ours for you taking the time to watch and comment. Thanks again!
So much sorrow.....😭😭😭
Thank you so much for your feedback, and apologies for making you cry!
This is like watching snow melting.
Thanks for the comment, I hope by that you mean 'oddly satisfying'!
Awesome and wonderful. Many thanks!
And many thanks for your equally awesome and wonderful comment sir!
Very well done. A very beautiful tale.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment, we're so happy that you enjoyed our little film! ♥️
I really enjoyed most of this short film, and I wish to thank all that were involved.
I loved the clear sound of the courier's boots on the gravel path. It really brought home the purpose and hardship that the courier faced as he trudged forward. The crisp crunch and scuffing was perfect.
However, the constant wind sound effect was irritating, to put it mildly. It was patently obvious that the air was calm, but I guess the director felt that the Scott-of-the-Antarctic sound would paint a more 'post-apocalyptic' picture, for some reason? Very distracting, and unecessary.
I hope this criticism doesn't come across as too harsh. I simply wouldn't have commented at all if I didn't like the film, so please take it as a well-earned compliment.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such thoughtful feedback. We appreciate all comments regarding our work, including ones that contain criticism, be it mild or harsh. We continue to learn more about the art of filmmaking everyday, and it's clear, well-put feedback like this that helps us on our journey. Thank you again, and have a great day!
This was very well made, and well acted. My only criticism is that the old man has a brand new hat, gloves, and bag, and his coat is in good shape. It distracted from the post-apocalyptic aesthetic somewhat. Just a nitpick on an otherwise amazing short film. I love that he forgoes his own potential, possibly false happiness, to give another set of parents a very real happiness and hope for their child.
Thank you so much for your very thoughtful and nuanced take on the film! Even the nitpicking is appreciated as it's something we can learn from and move forward! Thanks again, and we hope you enjoy more films on our channel. Best wishes!
So beautiful 💖
Thank you so much for your very kind feedback, so happy you enjoyed it!
After many years of watching short films on You tube I am surprised I had not come across this one till now. Great acting, beautiful scenery, a compelling film thoroughly enjoyed this. One question though what is the music playing during the first few minutes very Pink Floydy.
Thank you very much for your incredibly kind feedback on this film. It's one of the more personal stories for me so I'm truly happy to hear you enjoyed it.
The opening music is a piece composed for the film by our great composer Frank Cale. His score for this film has been complimented frequently, but never compared to Pink Floyd before, so thanks again!
Superb piece!!!!!!
Thank you my friend, so happy you enjoyed it!
Came out great. Bravo, Mark.
Thank you Colin, appreciate the kind words. Hope you're doing well sir.
A spin of the old Fairy Tale.
Thanks for taking the time to comment, much appreciated!
Yes, Herman Hesse the noble prize winner for literature - who tried to commit suicide at age 30 - but then went on to write about things of the soul - in so many beautiful novels said it plainly - "You have to walk through Hell to get to Heaven."
Beautiful. I was familiar with the quote, but unaware of its source until now. Thank you so much for that, and for your incredibly thoughtful comment.
Brilliant ❤ i think devil trying to break the human spirt ❤
You think correctly! Thank you ♥️
They walk so fast without walking fast iykyk😂 i really enjoyed this though... all jokes aside.
They we're fast, but I'm sorry I was so slow to thank you for your great comment! Happy you enjoyed the film! 😉
brilliant
Thank you very much!
So is the “stranger” Satan?
One interpretation of him, yeah. Thanks for taking the time to comment!
per favore almeno per questi piccoli gioielli sottotitolateli. Grazie
Scusi, non parlo Italiano. Tuttavia, i sottotitoli sono disponibili in inglese. Mi scusi per il mio pessimo italiano!
Holy crap, did you attempt to learn Italian just to try and communicate with a commenter?! That is crazy effort and is another reason why this channel deserves so much more exposure!
Very nice,but,without subtitles, couldn't catch match. .....really sorry.
No need to apologise! Thank you for your feedback - working ong on subtitles now!
Nice
A
Loved the music but not so much for all that fake wind
Edit: is a wonderful film
Can I ask, was that satin he was walking with?
@@oldschool8432 That's totally fair about the wind sfx! To answer your question - yes! Thanks for taking the time to comment!
Hmmmm...what did I just watch.....
A beautiful little film? 🤷♂️😆
Hi, thank you for your feedback! We're just having a check on behalf of one of our subscribers who has notified us of some issues they've been having replying to this comment. Nothing to worry about, we're just trying to figure out if it's a problem with their account, or if it's a problem with UA-cam. Apologies for any inconvenience, and thanks again for taking the time to comment!
Definitely a 'their account' problem. Thanks again!
I have a pet peeve about listening to people cough
So do I actually. I had a psychosomatic reaction to hearing all the coughing and wheezing while editing the sound. Nearly gave myself an asthma attack!
Gave up after half
That's a shame champ, maybe you'll get further next time 😉🤣
The sound of wind, but no tree movement? @5:15
Happens all the time where I live buddy, but sorry if it ruined the illusion for you! Thanks for taking the time to comment though, it's appreciated!
All the gear looks new.
Nah, just well looked after. These guys know that just because they exist in a bleak, post-apocalyptic wasteland, it doesn't mean they stop washing their clothes. They haven't degenerated to savagery just yet... Thanks for the comment man!
สวัสดี
Interesting frame work, just needs a story to fill it out.
Is there some reason why you don't want anybody to understand the whispering dialog? no subtitles? unwatchable sorry.
Hey, thanks for the feedback. Genuinely sorry your enjoyment of the film was spoiled by what you felt was bad audio. Subtitles will be added within the next 24hrs, and hopefully a second viewing will earn a more favourable response. Thanks again for taking the time to leave a comment.
I couldn't catch all of the dialogue, but that didn't seem to detract at all.
Boring, unoriginal, full of cliches. How many times have i seen this kins of flick? At least a couple dozens. BTW the sound effect of boots scratching the gravel is better than the sound of the dialogue, post production included. In a couple of words: is suckes.
Hey buddy, you okay? How about you give us the name, address, and physical description of the son of a bitch who made you watch this cliché-ridden affront to cinema, then we'll all hop on the next available flight and curb-stomp the f*cker. Is it our fault you seem to watch the same type of film dozens of times? No. Are we genuinely sad that you think our film "sucks". Yes. Is there anything we can do about that? No. Could you have expressed your dislike in a less confrontational, aggressive way. Yes.
Seriously though, we genuinely hope you have more positive film experiences, but in future maybe stay away from material that seems to trigger you so much? Peace 🙏
