your low budget film taste so expensive, this is will be rich concept someday...
Lovely words! Thanks for that!
If only you had a chance to re-read your grammar my friend
chas farthing Not everyone is a fluent English speaker. Good on him for trying
Yeah, i m Indonesian, i don't speak English Indonesian daily life
that shit was boring not scary at all btw
UA-cam has this weird habit of ALWAYS recommending these right when I'm about to go to bed...
cause they are watching you...
ok... it's 5.45 here...after a long night this is my reward... seriously?
Same pinch!
Sameee
No we dont
I see it as the old man is ready to go, he knew the lore behind the puzzle, and sought it out. When he knew he had it, he poured his favorite drink, gave a long look at his wife’s picture, who we can only imagine has passed, and starts the puzzle. The clock chiming represents that his time has come. He could have stopped the puzzle, but he was ready to be reunited with his wife
I love that!
I love this one
Even the lyrics of the song gives us that hint
You can choose your own death.
You die only once in a life after all.

I didn’t want this film to end. Everything about it held my attention. Very well organized short movie. Everything about it is professional. For example, the music is in harmony with every seen. The characters are perfect and the in between scenes such as the storm and driving from the shop to the home of the buyer brings thrill to the chill of this story.
Thank you so much! Comments like this still touch me a lot. Really glad you enjoyed it :)
@@rashadal-safar1931 awesome. I’m glad you responded. This film is incredible. Great work. Keep it up
@@ericgrosvenor67 working on our next film, a feature and just as inspired as we were many years ago when we made this! Thanks again!
@@rashadal-safar1931 your welcome. Good deal. Keep everyone informed
Only one little flaw. The car starts off as a right-hand drive, then goes left hand for the rest of the drive.
Its so weird how someone would want a puzzle with no picture, and no idea even if the pieces are even all there! The absolute worst is to start a puzzle and never finish due to missing pieces 😩
My take: He knew the puzzle was fatal and was looking for it. He was ready to die and chose the puzzle as the way to go. We're not told how he knew that shop was where he'd find it but he knew. Then when the shopkeeper reacted that way he was sure. It didn't matter about the missing picture and he knew it would have all the pieces he needed to finish his life. The picture would be different for each person who bought the puzzle.
Edit: But I know what you mean about missing pieces. It's frustrating!
Me: One more
15 short films later
Me: Ok last one
*Doesnt stop till midnight*
Or 4am...

The Jigsaw OMG you replied really loved the film don't have facebook but I will surely post it on my Instagram. It's Goddess_of_waffles. Gonna post it now
Thank you so much for the support!
Ankita Das
to get reply frm jigsaw is itself creepy
Don't think so...As told in the description, "it is based in an old ghost story", so it is plausible that they're so much alike
Anyone who's ever seen Hellraiser knows not to buy a puzzle from a junk shop!
or Needful Things
What's your pleasure?
The scariest part was having to watch those red bull and preparation H ads 2 seconds before the credits rolled.
You were supposed to pause, go out and buy a Red Bull, and down it so that you would be hyped up and not scared for the ending, ya dingus
HAAA!!!😂😂😂
I heard this story back in 2006, one of our favorite Urban Legends to tell. This short film brought it to life! Well done!
The story that told to me was about a middle aged woman who found a puzzle box on her front porch when she went out to get the newspaper one early morning. She loves puzzles, the thing was the puzzle box's cover was blank. Curious of what picture it contained, she couldn't wait to begin it. It wasn't until the very last piece in her hand that it dawned on her that the puzzle's picture looked awfully like her family room with her furniture in the exact location. Everything was the same except for a disfigured face staring at her through the window with an axe in he's hand. The face had an eerie smile to it, she turned to see the window but nothing was there, it wasn't until she put the last piece in where her face frozen in terror stared back at her. That's when she heard her window breaking behind her and the scrap of something big being dragged getting very close to her. They say when you come across a puzzle box with no picture on it, it is best to leave it untouched. For anyone with common sense knows puzzles show their secrets on the cover, not hidden in the darkness.
thanks for your comment :)
The Jigsaw You are quite welcome. I look forward to the newest short movie clip. Regardless of genre. Your channel and the people who help in creating this video show a delicate skill in the Drama and Acting business. Which is something to be praised, for not a handful of productions can claim such a title.
Thank you for sharing the tale!! I was skimming the comments hoping someone would. I'd never heard this tale before so again - super thanks!! ✌️🧡🌈
@@daniellebyers352 you're welcome 😊 I heard it when I was a child and the story stuck with me throughout the years. I forget who told it to me. I knew it was an adult and others were around to hear it. It's been many years.
I remember reading this story in a book of urban legends back in the 90’s :)
Everything about that was perfect! The sound was especially effective at adding to the overall atmosphere of dread. I was unfamiliar with story so made it even better. Loved this!
I loved the suggestion of impending doom - it was effective because of great photography and lighting,and good acting.Personally though I think the ending would have been more effective if the shopowner when he appeared, had just stood there looking at the old man,and it was left to the immagination what the old man's fate would be.
From the score, the sound, camera movement, acting, choice of music, vfx, to the overall directing...Great Work!!!!
A commercial right two seconds before the final? Seriously? Ruined.
Same.
It was good until then.
same.
me too, was it supposed to happen right then, is it programmed that way? this really sucks; it broke up the entire momentum, and i had to go back to that place more than 3 times to actually see it go forward? i liked and subcribed too early.
Totally spoilt the suspense by an advert 2 seconds before the final scene. WTF UA-cam 😡
Just go to end of video..then start again no ads!! Welcome.
This was a very good short film but to me it wasn't really horror. I mean certainly the idea is a horrifying one, putting together a jigsaw puzzle that either shows your death, or allows the man at the window to come through and kill the puzzler. It was really very sad to me, more of a tragedy. I see people in the comments wondering why the man was so adamant about getting the puzzle, but he goes home, way out of the way to a lonely house, where we see what can be determined through inference is a picture of the man and his late wife. He plays 'We'll meet again' and it echoes the shopkeeper's words, but to me its him looking to join his wife. He knew the puzzle would kill him, and was looking to reunite with her and this was a means to do it. To put himself out of his misery. This wasn't a murder by the puzzle, it was suicide by the man putting the puzzle together.
But that's just what I took from my own viewing.
who gives a fuck about semanticist? Did you fucking like it or not? If yes then stfu, and if no then you make a better fucking movie.
It actually places the pieces in the right order.. I mean what you have said makes much sense.. I guess your observations are correct.. thanks!
Alexandra Wicks : Thanks for the explanation, professor. You must be a great hit at dinner parties.
Wtf....why such negative comments under this comment. I actually think this analysis makes perfect sense. If y'all didn't agree, why not just keep scrolling?
Alexandra Wicks i think youre correct. Nice random thoughts.
because we wanted to show the transition from the day to a dark stormy night signifying the evil that the jigsaw was bringing to this poor old man. we also wanted to show how isolated his house was, further signifying that was no one around to help him.
thanks for the interest and we hope you enjoyed it 😊
The Jigsaw it was beautiful constructed and I’m sorry by over using the word brilliant but only because it’s just so BRILLIANT!! I can’t think of any other way to say it. It’s so beautifully done and the cinematography was amazing.
But it really seemed like a non-sequitor. Puzzle = some strange man coming to kill you. Sorry...it's was just a bad flow. Good cinematography, bad story.
The Jigsaw wow! it's really nice
Amazing cinematography, but I am also confused about the ending. Did the man create the puzzle with the intent of reenacting the puzzle scene? If so, ther wasn't much depth to their relationship or reasoning I could pull from their interaction. Other than that it was awesome.
He wanted it, because the sales man was a good sales man.
Wasn't this story told in Dead Poet's Society when the boys are in the cave?
yes

Yes! Thanks, I couldn't remember which movie was in.

I was wondering why it familiar.... thanks for clearing one up!
Wow. This film is wonderful in every way - plot, music, cinematography, tension... I'm amazed that the whole thing took only 7 minutes. Bravo 👏🏻

Stunning cinematography, bone chilling music and an effective and short story.... That's all u need to deliver a personified horror, truly a mind blowing masterpiece!
Wow! that one of the nicest comments we've heard! Thanks you so so much!
Truly the way to go about it. Elegantly sinister. Bravo.
Of all the hundreds of short horror films I've seen, this is truly one of the best! It deserves all these awards, really. Well done!
truly appreciated!
He didn’t realize it was him in his room while he was almost done?
nemesis96929 yep that's what I thought, it kinda ruined it.
would've realised long before finishing that it was him & his house.
Maybe he realized it, but in his morbid fascination, he couldn't resist putting the last pieces together.
@@mebutnotme.Khan78 your right! But how else do you tell a total unrealistic fantasy film? Its like saying Back To The Future could never happen!
Wouldn’t you finish it anyway?
Yeah the editing kinda of gets rushed at that point. It has some really beautiful montage leading up to that, but to be really perfect there needed to be a transitional montage where we see the old man get progressively more distressed as he adds to the puzzle. The cut to midnight and the slow double-take didn't quite work. It was the brushtrokes of the idea they wanted to communicate, but not the whole painting
Now THAT is how you make an effective horror short. This was beautifully shot and acted, with a very satisfying ending. Well done!
Word Unheard Thank you so much! really glad you enjoyed it 😁
I totally agree!!!
Two thumbs up.
For anyone interested in seeing how we made this film, you can watch the making of here ua-cam.com/video/oigprQHUI7Q/v-deo.html
Word Unheard yup
Wow this was really amazing. The plot, the direction, the acting, the casting, the suspense building, the climax and the unexpected twist. This was brilliant.
thank you so much!
Intriguing, and beautifully made!
The old man's home decorated to his time, the sounds of record, and you can almost taste his drink! Well done! 🎥🎬🎙
Amazing how these short films become award winners because the cinematography is great!
Wow- I don't think I can give you guys the praise you deserve- so I'll keep it simple. Excellent, really excellent. This is sheer talent on display right here.
That's one of the nicest comments! Thanks so much! Sharing this film with your friends and helping to spread the word would be so amazing! Please sub to see more and thank you so much for watching!
The Jigsaw definitely will- already subscribed
Trouser Cinnamonn That says it all~
✨😍👍🏻✨
The Jigsaw Shared~
😍👍🏻✨
Thanks Nyla! That's awesome!
You see. When I see stuff like this my first reaction is that these guy's deserve a freaking movie deal already. This was amazingly written, produced, directed, acted, and edited. I have seen a flock of just mediocre horror flicks in recent years (some really good ones as well don't get me wrong), but I would love for these guys to break out and start developing some feature length stuff. That would be amazing.
That is so so nice of you to say! We would love nothing more! Really honored by your comment and thanks for watching!
The absolute best short I have seen so far. The acting was amazing and the story was very creative. I loved it!!!!!
This was done so well. I’d like to see more from this group.
thank you! we'd like to deliver more and will do our best
This film should win EVERY AWARD THERE IS!!! Production, producer, script, actor, supporting actor, cinematography, lighting.....EVERYTHING!!!!! This is OUTSTANDING!!!
I absolutely love these horror shorts. A better horror film in 8 minutes than most full length movies. Fantastic.
ive watched thousands of these horror shorts over the years and i have to say this one is magnificent hats off to all involved in the making of this masterpiece
Absolutely brilliant. Inspiring really. With so many mediocre horror shorts coming out recently it's truly refreshing to see someone with an original vision hit the scene. The script, cinematography, sound design, acting, all amazing. Wishing you the best of luck for the future my dude!
A third of the way through I realize this movie is based on the well known "campfire" horror story. Although I wonder why the man in the film was so eager to get his hands on it. As for the man who sold the puzzle, he is perhaps cursed to kill whoever who completes the puzzle and hence taking the puzzle back with him.
That's right, we too based it on that scary story we heard when we were young and also adapted it to exactly what you said. We thought everyone would remember and know the story but it amazed us how few people actually knew it. I hope it didn't spoil it too much knowing the ending.
The Jigsaw you should manage to get this short film two someone like Toby Hooper he did such a good detailingl directing job. on movies like. Salem's Lot and The Mangler.
The Jigsaw I salute you brother. one of the better short horror movie I've seen..
That's truly humbling and thanks you so so much! Please share this film with friends as it really helps our cause :)
Was the guy at the window the shopkeep?
Nothing is better than solving a good old puzzle in a rainy day and sipping your favourite beverage... Except somebody's lurking in the dark behind you
Congrats on the multi awards. This film earned it.
What if you got to the last piece and then didn't finish it? Instead just dump everything back in the box and took it back. Would he still kill you? Awesome film btw, very unique plot, the cinematography in particular was just beautiful.
Then nothing would happen! He would still be alive! He should have done that right? Silly old man! ;) Thanks for commenting and rating, It means so much!
I don't think he would have chosen to do "that". Take the photo, the particular song that was playing and a lonely old man and you reach a logical choice.
1caramarie exactly. This is a man who knowingly walks into a puzzle shop, carefully looks over all the available puzzles and then pays good money for the most mysterious one. Obviously a puzzle lover, there was no way he was not going to finish that puzzle. The puzzle itself compels you to finish, it won't let go until the final piece is set.
Really great, I really enjoyed this short.
Plus, he wants to see his wife again. "We'll meet again...Don't know where...Don't know when". Since she is dead that leaves one option. If he would "have done it" the photo and the song would have been unnecessary and the movie not very successful. Rashad, since you wrote the screen play and directed the film, are saying you got lucky?
Not at all but there were so many possible double meaning to that song choice that it just had to be the one
1. It was the last line that the seller said to box before the man left the shop ( a clue to the ending of the film)
2. Following that connection, we loved the irony of when the song says the line "We'll meet again some sunny day" and then we cut to the opposite, a cold dark rainy night! We love that kind of juxtaposition.
3. It was exactly as you described and the reason the old man played that particular song. He wanted to be with his lost wife.
4. It has a wonderful aged feel to it that really connected with the vibe we wanted for the film
These were our reasons for the song choice.
Really nicely done and directed! I wish we could've had more suspense on what the puzzle was and seen him struggle comprehending it as he put it together rather than he suddenly finishing it! And maybe milk the sense that someone was watching him or was there.
Thanks for the feedback! Please rate and subscribe to support the film
We really tried our best to do this without dragging it out too much. The two exterior shots from outside the window were supposed to give you that feeling and because it is not realistic that he would finish the puzzle with one piece to go before working it out, we had to make sure that it was completed right before the shock moment or the final reveal wouldn't have worked. I mean, who in their right mind wouldn't notice their own face and room whist making the puzzle and what ordinary person would continue making it once they had seen what it is?
This is why we had to play it out like we did. Thanks so much for watching and commenting and we would really appreciate it if you could rate, sub and share with friends .
I disagree with the change you recommend. As I see it, he comprehended fine, which is why he finished it. Did you miss the photo and the words of the song? Perfect short film!
Renz Vallarta Agree that more could have been made off those elements...
The Jigsaw I agree, it is quite a difficult reveal to pull off without the audience guessing it ahead of time. But I don't think it would be "dragging the scene out" but more of "playing with the scene" because we need to see more of his frustration. We need to see him puzzled at every piece he puts down, and slowly being more and more creeped out by what he thinks is going on. That way we're constantly wondering what the puzzle is and why it's freaking him out.
This reminds me of a really good “twilight zone” short...very very good...music score is awesome...the sliding trombone is so effective! The slide from normalcy to madness and then death! Enjoyed this! Would live to see more!
Cinematography and sound in this production are AMAZING!!!! Well done !
very true:)
great lighting and sound, great direction, cinematography awesome....I wish it was a full length movie, and this was just the beginning part.Guys waiting forward for its SEQUEL...or maybe a PREQUEL
I think a prequel could work but then you would already know the ending :) We do have soeme ideas of how to adapt this into a feature but it would be completely different! Thanks for your humbling comment and for watching! :)
The Jigsaw - A prequel would be incredibly powerful, beyond amazingly interesting, and with much certainty a prequel would be most highly awaited!!! Thus, it must be time to seriously consider creating a prequel to the already successful and positively acclaimed horror short 'The Jigsaw'!!!! For the love of all the likes!!!!!! 😄😍💕👍✋👏
yesssssssssssss
I love watching these shorts, most are so well done. This one was excellent.
Damn, this is a really beautiful short. The production value is perfect, the cinematography, acting, tone, lighting, everything was really well done.
fully appreciated comment! Thanks!
I'm talk from tamilnadu india..
Film very interesting and extraordinary screen play..
Super..
I'm waiting next film..
tamiilan daaaa
this was awesome. Those angles man. Great shooting and great acting
I'd never seen a short horror film and this one got me into it and I could feel the man's agony as he did. In my opinion all the different aspects such as: the actors' performance, the photography shots, the background music, the dialogue,... made this story an excellent one. All the work team made a bright job.
thank you so much!
Beautifully shot, with great atmosphere. Kudos!
This movie is amazing! I just saw it with my students in the class, and for myself, the cinematography is in its finest! the thrill and the twist are marvelous! Hope I can watch another one like this.
Thank you so much! took a year to make this as had no film making experience and did not want to compromise on the story as it is such a nice one!
i love you ❤❤❤
I am currently in preproduction for a short film and watching this is very inspiring; it’s nice to see a short film with such high quality in all its aspects. Great job and thank you for inspiring me to work harder as well !
Daragh O' Malley is a hugely under-rated actor.
I was trying to remember where I saw him. Have to go watch Sharpe again.
That was one of the best I've seen. The production and cinematography is excellent
SO well done! Top notch! This deserves a truckload of recognition.
The cinematography was excellent. The plot was full of intrigue. Intelligently made and really great. Loved it. The idea was new and the ending was... Damn impossible to predict.
Whoooo another classical horror short film , I love it
The description is correct; it is really one of the best horror shorts I've seen!
As a puzzle enthusiast, all I can say is 'wow... just, wow' 👏 👏 👏
Really nice twist to a scary story. Actors were good and I love the sepia tones...music also good. U all did a gr8 job. Kudos to all that made this possible.
Great piece of art. I felt hitchcocks presence in the car scene. You made beautiful choices for delivering the story, and that is what it is about for me when enjoying a film. Big creep factor. Very Nice.
couldn't ask for a lovelier comment and agree! Hitchcock big inspiration:)
This short film packed a huge punch. Thank you. Incredible talent.
There are clearly some brilliant new concepts in film these days! I just hope I live long enough to see their future works! This was a wonderful ride through someones mind!
WOW..... What a film!? It was awesome! Thank you very much I truly loved it! Keep up the good work and give us more! Thank you all!
Thanks a million Stephanie! it would be so cool if u shared this on Facebook and like our page. It really spreads the word and helps us attract support and even investment which goes a long way for amateur film makers who want to pursue their passion!
Really glad you enjoyed it and thanks for your lovely comment!
The Jigsaw, got you! Considered it done!
The Jigsaw, I did it!!! Shared to my page!!!
Really appreciated Stephanie! Thank you :)
Oh, this was excellent!!! Thanks. 👍
Wonderful to hear! So glad you enjoyed it and anything you can do to share this film and help us promote it would be deeply appreciated! Thanks for watching!
This was great! The actors, the scenery. The music/sound effects were so good. So photographic too. I would have thought this was a teaser to a big Hollywood film.
The cinematography is stunning! I've watched so many short movies but i'm 100% sure to say this is the best short movie so far! The actors are amazing! And the music gave me the creeps, which is good!
humbled!!!
_The Jigsaw Puzzle_ by JB Stamper terrified me as a kid (and inspired one of my own published works). This was an excellent retelling with deep connotations. Well Done.
This have to be the most amazing horror film I have ever seen. I did not said SHORT horror film, I said HORROR FILM. Period. So satisfying. Amazingly well filmed and acted movie.
That s one of the most amazing comments we have heard to date! It truly humbles us to hear that and we are so grateful! Many many thanks! :)
Every single element; acting , atmosphere, plot, directing, cinematography was just amazing!
it's directly taken out of dead poets society ! first story told on the first dead poets society meeting
Antonio Carranza Agreed!!
Antonio Carranza iiiii
The Jigsaw gives a fresh insight to the Grim Reaper? I love the suttleness in which he gives the old man a choice actually adding the Superstitious Mystery to the plain box! Who can't resist that Challenge?
Excellent Acting by accomplished Actors Pedro Monteiro and Darragh O Malley who always bring their Characters to life. This was a so well written, so simple and creepy!
...And now we know HOW the Jigsaw Puzzle makes its way back to the curiosity shop!
This is such a fascinating concept! I'd love to see this made into a full movie. Really job well done!
The ending scene should have shown how it returned to the shop.
I understand what you mean....on the other hand, we knew already that it will come back to the shop...it would not be a surprise...
Yes
to be perfectly frank, I do believe the final scene did show how it returned. the final piece he placed in the puzzle showed a man looking in from the outside, which indeed there was, and just as the screen cut to black the sound of the window glass shattering could be heard. If I am not mistaken, the man looked very much like the shopkeeper, in which case how it returned to the shop seems quite obvious. However I could be wrong in this.
Wasn’t it obvious lol
I think it would have been a nice touch to show it back on the shelf again 👍
Of all the Short Films I have seen, this was by far the best!
I loved this! Very very well done.
These award winning shorts on UA-cam are really good and imaginative.
Very cool atmosphere and effects. Nice to see that actor from Withnail and I again.
Our deepest thanks!
Matthew Mayer And he was in Sharpe as well. :)
Almost every day I go on many websites to watch short horrors. Just today I came across this one. WOW. Definitely not one of the bests of 2017, but the best of all time. The cinematography was stunning, the acting was stellar, and the plot and twists were amazing. This should be made into a full scale blockbuster production. I am absolutely blown away. Just wow.
One of the nicest comments we have ever heard! Our deepest gratitude and pride that you enjoyed it that much! It means a lot!
That was really well done. It’s a good take on an old ghost story.
Some of the short films are worth admiring and inspirational as well on UA-cam. The Jigsaw is one of them
This is very good indeed. A great idea, beautifully shot and crafted on the whole.
I'd def go and see a full feature by you guys if you ever do one (here's hoping) :-)
Love the support and thank you so much!
EXCELLENT! LOVE LOVE LOVE this film! The camera work and editing, and the sound. I swear I could smell the scotch and the match, and feel the warmth of the fire (despite mine being completely dark!) Thank you for putting it here on UA-cam for everyone to enjoy.
That was amazing! Great work! Loved it!
I have seen loads of short horror stories and i must say that this one is well directed. Good work and keep it up.
Thanks! please share rate and sub to support us in making more films.
This is based on a book from when I was a child. A boy gets a jigsaw box from an old store and the picture on the front is worn out. He slowly puts the puzzle together realizing that the picture is of him in his room. He notices that in the picture their is a monster in his window. He turns and their it is. The end.
unless you name the book you have no proof so you're dismissed and this story must be taken as the original
Very similar story to the short story called the The Jigsaw Puzzle by J.B. Stamper except it featured a girl. It was released in Tales for the Midnight Hour anthology. I like the take on the story tho.
Yes what’s the name of the book
THERE
@@lazyishardwork the concept isnt original believe me XD
Very nicely done. Most of these "award winning" short horror movies are a joke with obvious setups but this kept things moving along nicely and gave a nice twist at the ending.
Took me watching twice to realize the man in the window is the salesman. Genius. Loved this!!! I showed this to a friend, he said it’s reminiscent of Love Craft.
I loved this short depicting true horror in how we bring about our own demise. 💙👏🏾👍🏾
Love this. Feels like an episode of the Magnus Archives!
Hey that was pretty good. Thank you for no ads this time
Well, that was wonderful. Beautiful direction and design, creepy concept and a lovely efficiency of storytelling. Just fantastic!
really appreciated
Exceptionally well done even if the story is super old and been re-used countless times. You guys really have an eye for texture and feeling. Top notch production!
you're a gentleman! Thank you so much! means a lot!
I'm watching this in 2019 and it's one of the best I've seen. I thank you for the short video
The cinematography was up there with the greats.
I luv u
Wow that was so well done!! Excellent!! Every shot, the music. 👍🏻👍🏻
Wow that was one of the best short horror films I saw in a long time . There should def be a part 2. Very suspenseful and scary. You can tell you put a lot of work into this. Thank you very much for your work. I'm looking forward to seeing your upcoming content.
Oh right, the ghost story from "Dead Poets Society". nice.
Yeah, we just adapted a little to make in into a short film. It seemed no one had done it justice in a film so thats why we made it. Thanks for commenting and rating!
Great execution. Awesome loved it. great work.
Gourav Mallick Really appreciated! Thanks Gourav
I almost knew that’s what it was going to be and I’m glad it was haha great job!
Background music is really good one. Complements every scene perfectly
03:01 When I heard the sales man say "We'll meet again" I remembered the song by Vera Lynn... And suprise, surprise at 05:00
Nicely noticed! Thanks!
This was truly a masterpiece ⚜️
That is such a humbling comment, Thank you so so much! :)
Wow truly thumbs up and amazing work by all those involved in making this short masterpiece...
As an aspiring short film maker I have to say this is really good and realms beyond what I am doing. But certainly hope to get there ! Thanks for sharing
This was an interesting watch and I'll remember it for some time to come. It kind of reminds me of H. P. Lovecraft's short story _The Alchemist_ .
