From everyone on the FLYBY team, we would like to thank you for supporting our film. For many of us this past year has been a strange reality, and like in FLYBY our perceptions of time have been flipped on its head.
“Blink and you might miss it."
Hi
That was a cool story.
Interesting story. Looked like you grabbed inspiration from Amazing Stories because that could easily have been an episode.
nice film, i wasn't confused like i am at most dust short films and i liked it
absolute gem!
As an 80yo I can confirm life is exactly like this, asteroid or not.
Well, he is, given that most people aren't around till 80!
Bless'em. 😊
Congrats on getting to 80 there Andrew. Hope you have many more years to come.
maybe you should get checked for dementia
As a relative baby at 71, I must concur.
Oh man... I'm 36, single (feel like I just got out of university) ... feel like I should just prepare for the next life now. Oh well - I had a good run.
Hey everybody -- I'm the writer / director of FLYBY, going to be hanging out if you have any questions you want to throw my way. Thanks for watching, love reading these comments!
Awesome!
What was the thing the wife found in her daughters purse?
@@kurtdowney1489 The idea there was to show a piece of technology that would be totally alien to Bill -- the same way someone from, say, 50 years ago wouldn't know what to think of something that's commonplace to us today.
@@kurtdowney1489 I do have my own theories about what this thing was -- But I'd love to hear if anyone has their own ideas...
What was the meaning behind the character staring at his watch and exclaiming "shit" ?
This is what Alzheimer's must be like.
what i tought the whole time
No, it isn't, it's like dissociative amnesia or Korsakoff syndrome
Early onset Alzheimer
I think you're right, but I can't remember for sure.
Nah, alzheimers kills a lot faster than decades.
I can't believe this content is free
In this world, most valuable ones mostly comes free. Unnecessary ones comes with lot of costs
... just sold ya soul ! 😉
🙏🌹
Someone's paying for it. Just not you, I guess.
smekk, we agree! @dust is amazing, and we are grateful to be apart of their community.
@smekk, agree!
Finally, a decent movie with a beginning, middle & end and characters that work like real people.
. . . Now, as a 75 year old former hippie lost generation boomer vaccinated old man who still thinks a lot like he did at 26, well, this was a fucking amazing run. Oughtta be out there for everyone to see.
C'mon Nils! You've been saying that for like, 50 years now!
Get with it, man!
@@christopherdiedrich40 Yeah. At least 50 years. I've been traveling through time like that 'cause, well, I can. As have you.
And what a long strange trip it's been 👍🏻
Just imagine what it would be like to live a life without experiencing it. Old retired hippy myself...
@Nils R. Bull Young, as a mere babe of 61, Ditto pretty much covers it. My 6-year-old's curiosity finally meets a worthy playmate but my major joint issues make me want to accelerate my surgeries so I can play like I mentally feel. What we have now that our parents didn't is access to our youth through an almost infinite photo/video album, even preceding our birth. One of Dust's best efforts!
I can't believe I just experienced all of those emotions in less than fifteen minutes. This movie has only one flaw, but it's a pretty MAJOR flaw: it's too short. Amazing. That's all I have for this right now.
Thanks to filmmakers who are making such films. This is so relatable. The way the times flies by is so saddening.
Wow.. this was filled with a deep sadness.. the whole life of this guy just flashed before his eyes.. how true that is for all of us.. we are like a shadow, like grass that is here and then withers away..
That's how it seems, yesterday was the first day of "bootcamp" in Orlando,Fl....today I'm 64 and a half and in lockdown almost a year

Oh, umm, I'm just, I'm just, you know, resting my eyes.

Crying.
Mom went thru memory loss before she passed.
It was hard for me to comprehend what she was going thru.
I'm sorry for those who have to suffer from this terrible disease 😔
Just WOW! Everything made absolute sense. I'm 65, and this was such a relatable experience. Thank you for this high-quality film.
Lloyd Robert, we're happy to hear you connected to our film. Thanks so much for your support!
Right there with you 👨
At 63, I'll second that. An old friend sent me a text photo of me in my college years, it feels like I was just there a month ago.
Awesome! If you don't mind, you could answer my question. How does an asteroid passing near the earth affect how some people perceive time while others are completely unaffected? That's the only part that doesn't make sense to me.
@@ninjasonmylawn25 Hi, two things come into play here. One is that someone says something that makes complete sense to you but with no rationale. Two is that you wake up in the morning not feeling the passage of time, but it has gone by. You've had a dream the night before about things totally unknown, with people you've never met. Doubts rise in your mind as to your singularity. "What am I doing here?', 'What am I?'... Again, refer to point one.
Recently, I was a young man changing my son’s diapers. Now he’s 40 and I’m 61. Young people, you think you have forever. You really only have a few moments.
For those of us who work away from home, this film cuts deep.
Hear ya. As an expat my life has gone by while I have been away. I have sacrificed a big chunk of my life but there have been rewards as well. Still, there is an Arab proverb I learned when I was in the Middle East--
"Four things come not back: the spoken word, the sped arrow, the life past, and the missed opportunity."
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you. No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun -Pink Floyd
It feels like that, truly. I wish I could turn the clock back a few years, and apply what I know now.
one must live day by day... to ignore life and wake up later 10 yrs later, wow you DID miss that starting gun
Wow ! I've never watched a movie that felt so much like (my) life. It suddenly speeds up, and you find yourself falling further and further behind. At 66 years old, I have far more life behind me than in front, and it seems to go by quicker and quicker.
I loved the movie, it left me in tears. Thanks for sharing a great thought that most people have as they get on in years.
Kindest regards, Dave W 😊
Glad I am not the only one that it brought a tear to. I'm 57, this one has a life message to it..
You need DMT Bro look up joe rogan an DMT
David Weaver, thanks for sharing your experience when watching the film.
@@KevinSmith7, we're happy to hear you connected to our film. Thank you for your support.
@david weaver, it definitely makes me pause and start practicing gratitude and enjoying each moment.
That was, hands down, the scariest film I ever watched. I wish that I could unsee it. I turn fifty eight on Saturday. The men in my family get alzheimer's at sixty. Dad and mom died last April. There is just enough good in this world to keep a man's heart from breaking when he's in it and just enough bad in this world to keep a man's heart from breaking when he has to leave it.
Wow, that last sentence is absolutely perfect. I don't know if you created that sentence, but I can't find reference to it... James... that is something I will always remember.
james mayhew Yes...just like lone wrecche said...such an eloquent and succinct thought..Bravo..!! I can most certainly relate to what you said.

Sitting at my desk wondering where the last 40 years went and I often wonder how many of my former colleagues are still with us?
I've noticed that lately, too. Where did those 40 years go?
Same. 59 this year, I still think I should be 18. WTF?
Awesome/ folks I’m 50 now and an empty nester , this is now my reality
Times r hype speed on the daily
This movie really applies to me. One minute you're in high school chasing young women in short skirts to now in my mid 60s in a nursing home chasing young women in short skirts. The years just fly by.
You a rockstar Sir.
Or 1minute (1998)your divorced, then it's 2021 😑 well at least this dude got some passion and tenderness in the😷last 23 years.
You're in a nursing home at 65? What did you do in the 80's?
Sorry you are in a nursing home bud but I'm the same age and I am riding a Kawasaki Ninja and still playing electric guitar and multiplayer online gaming kicking kids asses in Battlefield.
@@johneagle1855 lol too much i think.........
WoW! This is one of the best short videos I ever watched on this channel. Great job! ❤
Wow, thanks so much for that! We appreciate you taking the time to watch FLYBY.
That's why time is precious ❤️❤️
Is there a flyby recently? I might be affected cause 50 years of my life just passed by so fast.
What a great short movie, stating that life need to be lived before its too late. Its really a big eye opener.
I am so confused.... I thought this was a sci-fi channel, but life really seems to fly by this way.
Gawd....that's hell of a film within 13 minutes
This is massively disturbing on so many levels.
When the density of the asteroid is too much and bends the time:
Superb bit if sci-fi thanks, very deep too.
@andy b, thank you!
great short movie again, it might actually happen one day.... thank you guys!
well that's cheerful thought
@alienorchestraofficia, haha, possibly! Let's start living now!
Holy Shiet that is a blast! 9/10! Amazing Job People! Like seriously! I wanna a full length one!
Thanks so much! The FLYBY team appreciates your support.
@red kane, thank you!
I know how he felt. One day it's hot chicks in college and then next it's child support and burying your parents. Time flies when you are having fun?
@jobrail, the film reminded me that there is fun, even within the hard and uncomfortable. Those little moments are the ones we get to practice enjoying.
Could be so much worse, really. You could be burying your child. Then time completely stops.
Warning: Do not watch this while tripping on shrooms.
too late. i already am.
When I was 19 years old in 1971.
I was retired out of the Army after getting fucked up overseas.
I was with a group of other guys when we got our 1st Retired Army ID cards. We were all around 19 or 20.
As we looked at the cards we noticed on the back a experation date.
11/26/2016
We all got a laugh, we had already been almost killed.
So, that date seemed like it was far far away. The way we lived? Lol We all never figured to live that long! Live Fast, Die Young, Leave a good looking corpse.
Now I'm 69 and I'm still back there, yet 50 years have flown past. I do not recognize the face in the mirror.
As the biblical saying goes your life is but a vapor and gone so don’t blink...!
Your all story of short movies diferrent awesome
As the cab drivers says, live life in the moment. Enjoy everything you can while you can because in a few ticks of the clock, you will be looking back on it all. More than anything, we are our memories.
John Lost Yes, and that is why Alzheimer's is such a cruel disease; to forget one's entire life is cruelty of the worst kind.
this is what "Getting old" is like, you have lived all those years but where has that time gone, you look back and it seems like yesterday.
This was one of the best shorts I've seen on DUST. Reminiscent of The Notebook. This as a full-length movie, with time to become invested in the characters, would certainly be one to get the tears going.
Yes. Especially considering it only took a few minutes for me to become emotionally invested into Bill.
Oof. That's rough. Great film, very cool concept.
It seems like just yesterday I greeted my daughter as she came into this world, and I was but a young man. My daughter has grown up, my grandchildren are teenagers and my wife and I am stunned at how quickly the time passes. It doesn't seem that long ago it was Xmas and already January is gone.
It doesn't matter, how smart or how wealthy or how lucky we are, I think we're all affected by 'flyby'
The best sci-fi movie's in UA-cam Channel
A wonderful small film. Covers all the emotional essentials in record time and gives us something to think about, talk about and definitely explore. Good job!
A metaphor for many people's lives, they way they are merely witnesses to passing time, not participants.
I looked in the mirror the other day and wondered where all the time went. I am in my 70’s now.
This could have been stretched out into a full length movie, great story!
If the intent here was to make this 62 year old man ball his eyes out, well done.
Did the actor forget to take off his wedding ring? 4:00
@teach a man to fish, nope =). Great observation though. We wonder what else you'll notice if you watch it another time through.
I could watch three hours of this. Magnificent!
I'm 24 and this is so disturbing on so many levels. I'm legit trembling right now holy shiet. I need to forget this. This is some scary stuff.
You have no idea how fast life will pass you by. I am 52 and I still remember 24 like it was yesterday, I don’t feel like it was half a life ago. There are so many things that go by that you miss things that you should’ve taken time to enjoy, things that you don’t remember that should mean everything, and things that are nothing that you remember vividly.
Hopefully you are being dramatic. If you are truly trembling over this movie then you need to disconnect from movies.
@@brucezar9517 Nothing should be scary ever. 😉
this is so relevant it’s creepy 😳😬🙄 it seems like yesterday I was 7 years old now I’m 52
This was a great one!
@cycloud, thank you!
Consciousness is like the tips of the waves on a storm-tossed ocean. When young, they may be close together, so it seems time lasts forever. But, if we lose interest, lose focus, and become older, those points of consciousness become farther apart. Thus time seems to be passing faster.
-- This is from the theory of quantum consciousness, for example as offered by Sir Roger Penrose...
I imagine there are tons of men and women that experience this. I've heard stories like this. A woman wakes up looks at her husband and cannot remember who the man is. I think God moves us along the time stream at times. When daily routine barely varies. Time just slips away. God warns us of the brevity of life. Each time I attend a burial I look at the tombstones. Ever wonder who those people were? Speculate about their lives?Will anyone remember who we were ? Look forward to the Kingdom of Heaven my friends. Prepare yourselves .
Very good. It makes you realize, asteroid or not, just how fast life goes by. Hopefully you can remember it!
Brilliant writing and acting!!
My son just sent me a photo -- he's 54 and wearing -- god help me -- READING GLASSES... but in my mind he's 9 and a champion BMX racer, the way I remember my little boy.
My other kid turned 50 last year, but I still see him as a grade school-age terror! How can his children be parents??
That "asteroid" is real. It's the part of our minds that holds on to favorite, much-loved moments that replay forever in our hearts.
Tears are running down my face; this little vid hit me right in the feels! Hug the ones you love and never let them go, because those precious seconds are all we have.
All kidding aside I feel like something similar to this is happening to me right now and I'm not even kidding.
Time to get some things done my friends. Time is speeding by.
YES!!
I got really choked up when his daughter set up his pictures and had to leave him. Even if this man remembered his life, it's just really sad thinking about getting old and being left alone.
Torus202...Yes, I agree, and what I find so sad are those people who have never had a family of their own. I have been so blessed to have had a family, even if that turned out for me to be a single parent with two small children to raise ( mother left us). but my life has been so very full and rich ( don't mean money ) by having the opportunity to raise my two kids. They are now 41 and 43 and I have one grandchild. yea, a stunning film..!!!
Thanks for sharing.

I loved this film. Probably one of my favorites ever on DUST!
Nice touch that he sat his daughter down and said “be good” and later she did the same to him.
Under appreciated comment - respect !!!
And before I knew it life had passed me by.
This had the feel of a twilight zone episode
@jay, what a complement, thank you!
This short has the feel of 'The Twlight Zone', and I love it. Very well made. Thank you.
Great thought provoking film! Many talented people made this!
I really love these short movies! They are some amazing stories and really pack alot into a short time!
@mike mcdonald, thanks so much. Dust has so many great short films to choose from.
So, there was this show called The Twilight Zone. Same felt vibe. Very good job.
it only had 20 views 20 seconds ago?! how has it gotten so many already??!
I just got to work
Are you feeling the "flyby"?
@@HO-bndk haha, yes!
I see what you did there
This is,was the best. Congratulations for a excellent job. The best art I have witnessed in a long time.
Wonderful! I'm experiencing a lot of different emotions in a very short film. While we all (or almost all) have the experience of time passing so quickly that we end up forgetting a lot of our lives, it's interesting to imagine that a flyby asteroid of unusual origin could accelerate (or slow) not just experienced time but actual time for some individuals.
not the remotest possibility. That was the weakest part of the story. When the writer needed a device to make the thing happen, instead of just making it that disease that doesn't allow you to remember things (which is a real thing), I'm guessing they'd heard something about relativity ... which has absolutely nothing to do with asteroids or flybys and could never affect Earth or anyone on it in any way.
btw asteroids also can't orbit the earth and then leave.. thats not a thing
If that rock had hit the Earth..it would be 'Ashes to Ashes and Dust to Dust! 😉
Possibly the best of these I’ve seen so far, and I’ve been watching DUST for years. Beautifully conceived, beautifully executed, beautifully poignant. Well done.
6:51 is that Kerbal Space Program in the little orbital display window? lol I love that game
Looks like my dating life... we met and now it's over.....LOL!
lolozzz....
Epic story!
I wonder how much it costs to make short films like this
maybe 50k max
😆😂
Actually if you have the gear, crew to help, and up and coming actors that want something to put on a resume you can do it for no or low budget. It really all comes down to the skill of the people making the project.
@@casssmith2002, this is very true, the skill of the team makes a huge difference. We had an amazing, talented group of individuals who worked on FLYBY, and we are so thankful for them.
We also have to remember to pay artists (in front of and behind the camera) their worth and for their time. Sometimes it can be easy to fall into the trap of "the exposure" is enough.
@@britniebanks9079 Oh I understand. I was an executive producer for an independent low budget film. You would be surprise how cheap you can make a movie if you "know" people that would help out if you do so for them at a later time. Plus, as stated above, there are a lot of up and coming actors that are not SAG that just need some exposure, practice, or whatever you want to call it. Anything they can do to put on a resume.
Put down your phone.
Go outside.
Live the very most out of every moment you can.
Life is ticking by...
Blink, and you just might miss it.
@knoware, yes!
Holy guacamole!Is that what happened to my life?Now,I question reality.I want to go back.Excellent film,TY.
Just wonderful.
You all did a great job. This is one of the best films I’ve seen on Dust. Beginning, middle and end and a very interesting premise that was well shot and well acted. Just shows what happens when a good cast and crew get together to tell a good yarn. Thanks for making that happen.
Can't quite make out the time on his watch in the beginning or the end; but did his life whiz by in 30 minutes? Or maybe as the news reporter said that everything will be back to normal now , he seen a possible future? Intresting. Enjoy every moment people because there's time between every second.
@randy barnes, fun observation! Thanks so much for taking the time to enjoy our film.
That was one of the best Sci-fy Short Stories I've seen in a long time. Good Job everyone involved in making this.
@spidersparta56, wow, thank you so much for that review!
bizarre! luv it!! omg he lost like 25 years then it gets back to normal haha
Just wander id him wearing wedding ring in TAXI is overlooked or first sign that time forwarded for him if so very settle, well done. :)
@lukasz majer, ;) you're paying attention.
Time code?
@@chriscumbag 3:58
It reminds me of how people with the onset of Alzheimer's or dementia may experience the world. The compressed or lost time and fractured incomplete memories.
Reminds me of the concept in the film The Time Traveler's Wife 😏✌️🖖
I hope dust wilk create more short movies about innovation to our planet and space.
So that people realize that we need more STEM people to improve our technology and help other great people(elonmusk,jeffbezos,etc).
Excellently executed film. I kind of feel as if this is occurring to me as i get older. As a kid i remember that a week felt as if it took a month to go by, but now goes by like a day.
took me a few minutes to realize the first three scenes were separated by months, if not longer
One of the best Dust films I've seen. I would categorise it as a tragedy really. Very well made, and great acting, I felt very sad for that man, missing huge chunks of his life like that.
wow that was a great short story. . kept me on the edge of my seat. many kudos to you. looing forward to more short stories from you folks. thanks
This movie hit me back into reality, realizing so many years flyby in my own live, some meaningful and many meaningless things wasting our short time in this world. An eye opener work well done! Salute to you, creator of this beautiful film.
Dude!!! This is my life.
Sh** time flew by just like that. Please slow down.
Interesting concept , thoughtfully portrayed .
I can't say that I don't feel the same way... So much time lost, each year passes faster and faster.
So many things I could have done. The advancements of the world; I feel overwhelmed.
With the events across the world ever more irrational; Reality seems warped and surreal.
Is this even real?
To me, yes . . in a sense. How we react to it. . different. 'Life' is what we have made it . . either good or bad. Carry on . . and take care.
