CONTAINER is the new 25 minute Science Fiction short film from Writer, Producer and Director, Clifton Schulke of Film Platter. The film was shot over five days in July 2020 at Gladstone Cinema’s, Gladstone, Queensland with a small crew of ten. It is the most ambitious project Clifton has ever undertaken.
Jesse Warren, was cast in the lead role of DON, a man desperate to travel back in time. The award winning Cinematographer, Peter Szilveszter helmed the camera department on the film, who worked closely with Clifton to shape the style and mood.
The Emmy Award winning Brisbane sound studio - Folklore Sound and Music, and Sound Designers/Mixers - Thom Kellar and Joe Hayes, created the film's soundtrack alongside composer Ack Kinmonth who created the film's score. The mix was completed in Folklores number one mix room in the hugely immersive surround format of 7.1.
This is probably one of the best films on time travel that I’ve ever seen. The set, the acting, the story everything is just perfect! Well done! Looking forward to seeing more from this group!
Thanks so much. That's a huge compliment. And yes, more is coming. We can't wait to share.
Dang got on a DUST binge after discovering them this evening and this popped in my recommended. This was a fantastic short! Really well done script, acting, and set design!!
DUST is the best. We are a huge fans of them. Thank you for your kind words. Hopefully next time we can collaborate with them
Likewise 🤙
It’s frustrating; time and time again, I have warned these people to stop meddling with time travel - no good ever comes from it. This story is so tragic on so many levels. All I can say is just because you have the power to do something, doesn’t mean you should. I know he wanted to save his unborn child, but now this . . .
Many years later I have just popped in to say awesome job, really enjoyed it. Well done everyone.
Thank you. Many years indeed
I am recovering from a disorder causing intense stomach pain. Boy, do I know just how this poor jerk feels!!!!!
I wonder how many people across the world are tucked in their secret labs right now, trying to figure out how to time travel 🤔
Good point. Maybe one day we can go back in time and find out
You guys need to submit this masterpiece to dust. This is really good!
Actually we already have, back in October, and haven't received a response. Releasing through Dust would be a dream but it looks like that may not happen so we've self released instead. Fingers crossed though. Thanks for the compliment
@@filmplatter try again. U did an excellent job.
Dust? If they ever was good, I can't remember, watch them since many years.
They are arrogant, they like to publish shorts of others without credits.
Wow.
This was goddamned dark, creepy as hell, and even though it's obvious where it's going by the middle it still had me on the edge of my seat.
Well done and thanks.
Smart script and good acting make this a thought-provoking short.
Thanks very much for the feedback. I appreciate it
A black interpretation indeed. I went forward in time 50 years and cannot get back. Time is like that.
I know what you mean. My new future is brighter than the one where Khrushchev dropped missiles on DC in September, 1961. I don't want to go back.
Great Work. Respect. No one is mentioning the Sound Track Maestro. Thank you, sir. For the great work.
Thank you, I'm glad you got to experience it
Brilliant professional production. I enjoyed every moment and really felt for the actor. Well done.
Thanks Ron
Don't know how I haven't seen this film. Wow! This had me on the edge of my seat! Great work!
Wow! This has Twilight Zone written all over it. Great job
Now that's a compliment. Thank you
Note to myself...ensure a fireman’s crash axe is inside beside the door.
Excellent Sci Fi film. Would love to see a longer version of this. That was the fastest 24 minutes I ever spent. tomato meter: 9
Wow thanks. So glad you found it and liked it. We actually have 2 sequels written. Hopefully we get to make them
That character had some Mr Bean qualities about him. Great short!
Thanks mate, appreciate the feedback
Who said he was a dreamer, loved the film, looking forward to next installment. Keep up the great work Clifton.
Glad you enjoyed it
I get crazy with the time travel
This whole thing fascinates me
That was gripping.
A smart scientist never conducts an experiment on himself. He should have sent a camera through first.
Brilliant one 🌹🌹🌹 time travel is possible
Gripping, great execution!
Just found this short and WOW! Great film y’all! Wish it were a series or feature-length. Bravo!
Awesome. I usually see something I would have done this way or that way differently. I see nothing I would change here. LOVE the ending. You answered a question which YOU created in your viewer's mind. Well done!!
Thanks for the kind words. Glad you found it and liked it
Wow. This was excellent. Please create and release more material!!
Thanks so much. I'm glad you were able to find and experience our film. And yes, we're working on more content
Just excelent, bravo.
Thanks so much, cheers
Good one, love how the artifacts from forward and backjumps interlaced
Thank you. Yes, we paid particular attention to that stuff. I get annoyed when movies don't
Well-done!
Very well done video! The acting and the environment were outstanding.. hope to see more of your work!
Outstanding! Absolutely incredible and entertaining as hell! Wicked-Cool!
Thanks for the love and support
Very interesting premise. Very well executed.
Thank you. Glad you got to experience it
Yeah, that was well done!
Thanking you
Excellent stuff
Fantastic!!!!!!!
Awesome!! Really well done!!
Awesome!
Awesome. 111%
Great script, brilliant acting, amazing direction. Masterpiece.
Thank you for the kind words. Glad you found our film
@@filmplatter so am I. Just being honest. I've been watching science-fiction shorts for a while now and have seen a bunch on youtube. There's some pretty bad acting out there and some that consist of nothing more than fancy graphics - game cutscenes without much of a plot.
Time travel is an oft-explored but rich subject. It's easy to fall into familiar tropes. This film side-steps that. Minimalist, just enough effects to make me happy... attention to details like the blood, the diagrams the character draws to figure things out... a lot to like.
A responsive youtube channel is a nice touch too. Keep doing what you're doing, all of you. Good work.
@@dirkfrey4715 totally agree. And yes, more content is being worked on. We can't wait to get it out there
That was really good. Thanks so much for that.
Thought provoking ❤
Thank you
Great job
I'm conflicted as the comments are at 69 (nice) but I had to comment to say how well made this film was and the great acting. 10/10.
Thank you very much for your kind words. We really appreciate you taking the time to let us know. I'm a bit biased but I have to agree with you 😉
Excellent movie, kept me interested ❤️
Excellent work. Mind twisting idea, extreme time travel paradox.
Thank you. I do love a good mind twist

Wow! Thankyou🤓
AWESOME! :)
Sad but great!
Well done, really enjoyed 😊👍
Very sad very nice. Thanks

Magnificent! I couldn't move => that's how much this film had me in its grip.
So glad you liked it
omg.....see you in a couple of thousand years.....
Why don't time travelers ever watch time travel movies? Then they would know they are going fark it all up before they do it. Oh, well. Another one bites the dust!
Nice work mate
This was just amazing in every way! GREAT actor too! :D
Yeah we love Jesse's performance as well. Thanks heaps
@@filmplatter Definitely use him again in the future. All of you seemed to have great chemistry and the work shows it!
Gud on yer cobber 🤩... nice story, if unbelievable , but it is scifi 🤯...tarra 🙏👋👋👋🇬🇧
Superb 👏👏🥰
Time travel will never be possible. Not now, not ever, never.
😂😂😂.....What time is it??!🤔😂 You understand?😁
great production👍👍👍the only Thing i dindt understand, why didnt He See himself crawling Out?
Thank you. It's because he looks the other way. He almost steps on himself, which is kind of the irony of it
I liked this very much.
Thank you
@@filmplatter You did soo well with basically one room and kept me very interested. Every time he went away and came back the worse for wear, I wondered if he was in hell and stuck In those same minutes for eternity. In the end there were 2 of him so that brought in a parallel world too.
Wow! He can't get back to his present place...scary!!!
Superb
Excellent I like so much
Thank you, glad you found it
knock knock..wich one is there?....lol
Never a good sign when your body is smoking!
GREAT
Great
Just found this movie and it was great but I’m a little confused. I know that the banging noises he heard were from himself but was he successful? Or is he doomed to repeat the cycle endlessly in loops?
Well, there have been sequels written, but I really can't give anything away. Let's just say, he doesn't end up getting what he wants, but he gets what he needs.... but I highly doubt those films will ever see the light of day, so for let's just say he's doomed in an endless loop. Thanks for watching
But...but...he turned off the power!! You know, at the end...before he started, you know? So where did the power come from?
The power switch is actually the very first switch he powers on before opening the room. The bottom switches have individual responsibilities, like door locking functionality etc. At the end he is attempting to shut them all down but the 1st one sparks out and sends a surge through the system. If he was able to reach the top switch then yes, he would've shut the power down, but sadly he doesn't
@@filmplatter Oh I see. Yea they're not that clearly labelled, but that explains why the door was suddenly "stuck". Thanks.
@@realitycheck3363 no problems. Actually you're the 1st to challenge me on that point. Not even cast and crew did. I take my hat off to you
@@filmplatter Thank you kind sir. And a good day to you too. XD XD
Bravo, "Container" is a time traveler reels heroin! A tips Fedora Clifton Schulke, and all involved in the making of "Container" thankyou, encore.
Thanks. I'm glad you found it and liked it
Dang he almost turned into a zombie😄 good short film tho ...thanks for the upload👍😊
Dude....he would be somewhere else on the planet how ever many minutes of rotation would be the location as a pile of mush container or not on earth actually because expansion of the universe so he might just be a blob floating in space. Definitely no eyeballs to see the earth or ANYTHING else for that matter
This is so dope 🙌🏽 I was instantly hooked when he travelled.
Glad to hear it
Aren't we all traveling forward in time and space? the issue is we cant go back, for several reasons.
You should have known you couldn't go back in time and stop yourself because you didn't, and you know you didn't because if you had, you wouldn't be looking to go back in the first place. You can't go back in time to kill baby Hitler, because if you did, you would never have heard of Hitler in the first place and never known to go back and kill him. Ouroboros.
No Thing, is Seperate. Or, Ever can Be.
Interesting
oh my! who wrote this!!!
That would be myself, Clifton Schulke
So he travelled back in one long and two short steps, just to encounter himself before he went in. But - on the two other steps going back, he landed inside and did not encounter himself. I am not quite familiar with this logic. Or I am too dumb to understand it.
TY.

Gladstone? It probably wasn't the power surge but the dust coming from the power station that wrecked his complexion.😁
That would suck man!
Ok I get it he was the one to cause the mix up ,he was the one hitting the door,if he can see himself when he made it on the other side of the door why couldn't he see himself on the inside as well,and if his only reason for putting back on the helmet was to get to the time on the other side of the door why not stay in one time and break down the door lots of things there to do it with he built a time machine but can't break down a door ?the ideal is ok for me it need to be more real,needs to make more sense
This happened to me once when I took too much ayahuasca
Don't dwell on the past and all that psychological stuff.
great film though I was just mad at him in the end..just keep ur body in the door..seriously
what camera you use? great short film btw
Thanks. Black Magic Pocket Cinema Camera 4k (BMPCC 4K)
@@filmplatter good job🙏💯
Pass
You Are Now Entering The Twilight Zone

Brutal and relentless. I like that. But it stretches credibility quite a bit that a guy like this should get a chick like that.
What a mind f$%k!!!
I don’t get it why was he banging on the door ?
Oh god damn son aha
Lesson learned? I hope. Time travel is extreme painful and you loose you ability to talk.
As IT person and programmer, I have to say, your setup looks more realistic than most high budget productions!
Thank you. We really enjoyed creating and then working in this set
cmmon sense u would just keeo ur body the door so the other version of you see it..urgh
Too dark!
Why does he have to stand up at the transition moment? Go sit in your office chair, buddy, that makes the transition less disorienting. Oh, and get a damp cloth and wipe your face.
Spoiler Alert:
I don't like it. If he just lays in the doorway at the end, he stops himself. But no, he has to crawl all the way out, so that his first self can walk in. This would never happen.
