If I uploaded more films here what kind of content would you like to see?
I think all we want is quality content, if you can keep doing that well it really doesn't matter what those films are about, in fact anything will do, horror, fantasy, sci-fi, anything is good if passion & effort is put into it
Sci Fi
Medieval Fantasy would be cool too :)
I like to see a continuation of Eden! I really loved the film
probably apocalyptic / zombies
the kind of hug where you can feel the sadness leaving your body...lovely, thank you
That's what I got too!
Put love on someone's neck😊
The four seconds that made this, the image of her hand reciprocating the hug, and then the flood of emotions on the face of the other girl. In four seconds or so you’ve shown what it means too be human, well done man well done. I haven’t been hugged in many years..I felt that emotion she had with that hug, how good that must’ve been. That’s how I know this is perfect
God bless you Jesus loves you
It makes me sad that you haven’t experienced a hug in years
This one left me speechless....like the movie itself. You showed us that you don't need dialog to film emotion. Bravo!
No plot necessary, either.

Then you have too watch this one also😉
There was dialogue..
The more unique the better.
This is fantastic! Amazing actors. I could feel everything even though there was no dialogue. Beautifully done.
? nothing happened? theres no plot theres no conflict theres no climax there isnt even dialogue? did we see the same thing?
I remember watching this a while ago on his website! Really cool how students can organize and direct impressive projects such as this.
The pacing is not slow..It is meditating..I'm iatse 800 assistant editor..
Now he works for offlinetv hell yeahhhh
Upgraded
I liked this film. It was simple, uncluttered and evocative. I wanted more. Thank you for taking time for that last moment of comforting.
I've watched hundreds of short movies... I don't know what else to say, I was just so impressed... It's crazy how much was said without a single word...
I didnt even realize it was lacking dialog till the end! It was so full of emotion and story with very little words. Brilliant!
I think we can all say to watch this movie with all your senses sharpened. A beautiful walk of emotions with downs and ups instead of ups and downs to keep you with a feeling of hope and the meaning of having eachother. Perfect for this time of day when the corona virus strips us from our social behavior. Keep your closest, close to you. It's an important message in important times. Appreciate eachother
There were four modules launched at the beginning, one sleeper in each, 2 girls, 2 boys, in total, I would imagine. At 14:39 the dark haired girl looks at the animal claw damage on the exterior wall and her hand goes to her belly (2nd time) and it looks like she is pregnant, probably from the 4th explorer that presumably got mauled and killed by the wild animal thing. The connection was his possession, that black plastic light-saber-like looking tool, which the blonde haired girl retrieved from near his corpse. The doll represents children, procreation, a basic drive in humans (and in all living things). Play with dolls, play in general, is practice for the real thing, the practice of situations and unfamiliar emotions. The blond girl looks at the drawing of the couple hugging in her scrapbook, in conjunction with the doll (baby), on some intuitive instinctive level, she understand the connection. There is a lot going on here, without words. Well done.
Figured that out all on your own, did ya?.... Lol. What I figure is, at first, the guy was probably thinking to himself "now that the other guy is dead, I've got his girl, plus this new blonde, all to myself. And, if the baby is a girl, he'll have 3 girls to himself. I'm the luckiest guy in the world". After a few months he'll be thinking "why did the other guy have to die and leave me here alone with two crazy bitches and a screaming baby? I must be the most unlucky guy in the world"..... Lol.
well explained! :))
did u think where the fur was from that pregnant girl was wearing?
@@thomasfleig1184 Reality sucks.
so all 3 people we saw are from orbit? Wy doesnt anyone speak?
Thank you Brodin! Very powerful story, it felt like so much happened in the short length of the film. Definitely left me wanting more. Hope to see you write/direct more projects in the future.
Wtf?!!!!
I'm legit crying. That was beautiful and sad all at once
Amen from Jacova 11..Gevurah..
Got me crying and what not. Lol.
This was so beautifully crafted/executed
Well done and executed. I felt loneliness, fear, wonder and frustration. Emptiness when she buried the doll.
Great job. got teary eyed with the hug at the end. Great short overall. Thank you!
This was a great silent . To do all that with no speech says a lot about the film, and your talent. Touché 👏🏼👏🏼
I love the pure cinematic experience with no dialogue or narration. Thanks for sharing.
Came here from The 1st Annual Gafford Esports Awards!
Amen
This was so cool. I realized at the end that the only spoken word was 'friend'. Good acting & casting. Outstanding film.
Turned off the Gaffies to watch this! Nice one Brodin
I'm glad your priorities were in order
Amen..from Jacova 11..Gevurah
At the end, dude is like "A hug??? Dangit, why didn't i think of that!?"
Disco_Latitude lol
IMHO, the most fantastic thing here is to understand how a movie without a real scenario can be "award winning"...
Great job conveying emotion with only a single word, well done!
Thanks! It was quite the challenge
Amen from Jacova 11..Gevurah
Can't end there, so good keep going with it. Maybe starting to talk and some big ending against another clan or predator. So good!
Beautiful! In all areas...and hardly a word spoken! I predict great things for you Brodin!
Message we truly don't know what it's like to be alone until you have lost and to have no family no one to hug kiss or just to say good morning goodbye. Life of another it's precious hold onto it as long as you can. Even after death if you truly love that person they never gone they stay with you always. But they're not there. Just don't hold someone is most precious. As always sending love to all and all yours from Michigan USA. Thanks for making this flick I enjoyed it.
Thanks for sharing your great word with us, the UA-cam audience!
why are all these short sci-fi film award winning?
Im guessing no one lost during the awards night
LOL

picking one at random: Byron Bay Film Festival The Only Film Festival endorsed by the Gods of Asgard. Byron Bay Australia. gave out about 100 awards in 2018

They call it an award if they are picked to be shown at a festival.
what a beautiful film. Made me cry bottles of tears at the end .It's so Cathartic....love
wow brodin awesome ad for the gaffies!
Damn, Brodin! Nice work!!!
Another example of how good you are.
I am truly surprised that anyone would say that this wasn't a good filmin my opinion it was excellent you managed to speak volumes without your actors speaking 1 word excellent job I am looking forward to seeing more of your stuff in the future
I get your point. You’re right. But there was dialogue. There was one word: “friend” which he said to her after dropping the knife.
travvy sent us brodin made us stay, fantastic work man jesus, better than most movies out today in terms of quality
^^
WE LOVE YOU BRODIN
No, I love you
This was awesome. Great cinematography, sound design, scoring, story and acting.. Good shit man.
Exquisite. Sharp. Pushed the right buttons without telling me what to feel so that I voluntarily emoted exactly the right thing. And fell in love with all 4 human beings.
Well done.
Really well done. Amazingly affective without dialogue. Thank you. Thank you 😊
It was the hug. That Embrace even a stranger can give that makes anything a bit less harsh.
Nothing is more difficult in acting than trying to portray emotions without words. The actors in this video try and to a degree succeeded.
Nothing?
Truly one of the better films with no words. You managed to achieve so much with the main character, and then the two she ran into at the end, with their acting, which of course, the director helped immensely. I truly was sorry to have this one over. Well done.
Thank you so much. I appreciate that
I love how you pulled humanity out so everyone could see
Nicely done,I once wrote a story kinda like this one but involved time travelor who studied early man with a woman as my main character and how she also had to train her replacement
That would have been a better plot than this one.
Can I read it?
Make the script...and get the film to be made
Link?
She appears to be very young
This is very symbolic leaving each viewer to their own perception. Perceptions vary
Comments are interesting and the title, eden leaves me to believe, as with many post apocalyptic stories that this is representation of a new beginning.
The hug is very articulate. Apparently, after 1,000+ years, humans are not.
A lovely little masterpiece!
Yes nice one Brodin. I can picture this exactly. ❤️
This is actually so well made!
great, like short movies should be: short and with a punch. would love to see a continuation. Great "new" beginning for humanity? My eyes watered a little.
This was shot so well.. Well done Brodin and team.
Amen from Jacova 11..Gevurah..born in Bethlehem
It's like The Waltons meets The Jetsons...a la Rod Serling
Superb! Editing, filming, writing, acting and sound are all just stunning. Just a complete home run.
World needs more like this.
At last, a DUST short that isn't bogged down with exposition!
impressive, specially the fur part got me :)
Omg WHHHHYYYYY do these short movies have to have such great plots that are amazing and BEG for a full movie to be made? I so want to find out what happe s with the pregnant woman and her brother along with the new girl.
Not sure however,
I think that is the whole point, objective for these short films. I haven't seen too many, enough to guesstimate they are all post apocalyptic. So this being noted it is in fact anyones conclusion as to ,what, why and allowed me to extrspulate ( this shall be most interesting, what ppl hurl at me with words
I don't speak lightly, from experience, perhaps just that in itself the words in quotations , will make the indecisive wanna be,s quiet "
You think?? Nahhh
Proceeding on it leaves many possibilities all which unless you are extremely empathetic, (an empath) are less to be desired. Welcome to the age of the lost children. We have been lost since modern man entered the so called "modern age"
I think that it shows that people are mindless, arrogant so much that they destroy without consequence , act without remorse, and repeat with no compassion or mercy and these are just a few, observation, assessment, collateral damage a neccessary evil......
Well what should I know I've only existed since the beginning
These short movies..... leave everything to you °°°°°
Michelle Bolen How did you figure all that out?? It made absolutely no sence at all!
@@beverlybalius9303 my conclusion and I don't want to leave a spoiler alert for people that read the comments to decide whether to watch or not is that this is very symbolic. And most apocalyptic, post-apocalyptic short stories leave the reader to make their own decision. It's a matter of perception, and many people perceive things in many different ways, the title Eden basically is symbolic of a new beginning. Eden was where Adam and Eve started according to the Bible that is. They started or they began to have a form which God gave them he lived in a paradise kind of Garden of Eden is also extremely symbolic. I don't want to draw this comment out too much further, it's interesting enough and without spoiling it for others, the girls alone and as it continues it's a very apparent what this is all about. post-apocalyptic I'm sure you know that it means after the world has been destroyed Human start over again. message many of the movie's leave The Watcher or the viewer to decide in their own mind as with most post-apocalyptic movies how they perceive the ending will be and it's usually very similar but very different
An old premise but beautifully reimainged with a charismatic actress in a completely silent role.
Yeah ....gotta tell ya..... didn’t want this one to end! Very good!
Excellent ! Lots of emotion...open ended storytelling...intense !
Beautiful!
This is gorgeous.
Agreed some very visually stunning shots
Excellently written and portrayed.120/100
Ok. I’m no genius but here’s my take on this short--even though not asked for. Great job by the way. Well done.
So this is about human innate instincts.
To survive-eat sleep water shelter.
To reproduce. (The pregnancy)
Longing for companionship-a mate, and not just a mate, but a fruitful productive protector (the fur) (the spear she had).
Longing for acceptance. (Searching for the other individuals in pods).
Evolution-always exploring and searching and wondering.
And then we stumble upon our emotions. (The long companionate hug at the end. The blond looking at beauty and the beast not understanding what or why she was in need of or looking for.) please take notice the love expressed at the end was was that of compassion for the loss of life and the hardship that comes with it. It was not sexual in nature. Real pure empathy.
This short was about human basics and nothing else. Perhaps why language and vocal comms left out. This is a snap shot of early human history-just presented in a way that today’s newly evolved people can understand. I’m 48 years old and well educated at one of America’s finest institutions. I learned about early human life and evolution in the 70’s and 80’s. There was minimal minimal technology then. Just solid understanding. But I have a son that is 18 y/o. Can you imagine what it would be like for him to sit down in class one day and be presented human instinct and evolution as it was presented to me? No way!!! Thus this short was presented to today’s youth in a manner in which it better understood.
But again-I’m no genius.
Thanks for sharing your insights!
Exceptional film. Very well done VERY well and beautifully acted by the Stunning Emma Liegler I would literally watch anything if she was in it. Please someone put this extraordinarily talented women in a movie or series. I'm not sure how I feel about the lack any lines (the spoken word) in this film. It works as it is. Somehow just does not ring true that she never speaks. People who are alone do talk to themselves, especially after TWO years alone. That is just basic human nature. The only reason I can think of as to why they would not talk is if the human voice attracts the monster.
This was incredible i loved it so much! It made it even better than they never said anything! So much feeling, well done!
This format seems to inspire such motivated creative vision. It’s just really fun and rewarding to watch. I think the best sy-fi is always an interesting backdrop to tell a meaning and perhaps moving story. Thanks to all behind these great projects!
Content like this, that remind us of how precious and delicate our humanity is...:)
Beautiful.
Nice done....super soundtrack .....thank you mate !
Good short story. Thank you💜
No words could augment the story, brilliant!
Beautifully done.
C'est magnifique ! Santé à tous l'univers, thank you very much for my brain. R²
Dayum nice job everyone
Yo! B this is phenomenal work
I can watch it without subtitles, Great !
Here’s a Netflix series I’d watch!
Excellent! The narration and dialogue was top notch👌
From making a cool film to torturing friends,
that's what's called character development.
This is really good for student work. The visuals in particular were done really well. Colors gave big mood and camera angles and lighting were really good although i think there were some scenes where I would've liked more light on the people's faces.
I think the pacing is a little slow. it's unclear to outside viewers who aren't working on the project what is going on, and if you wanted the entire short to not have any voice lines it could've been portrayed in other means. There's a lot of scenes that drag on without anything significant really happening. I feel like if the purpose of the long scenes was to invoke emotion, it might've been better to create that emotion by just having stuff happen in the scene, that way your audience doesn't lose focus. In particular, I feel like more could've been portrayed by emotions on the actors faces. The scene where the dude stabs the girl then instantly helps seems awkward because the guy's face doesn't really reflect that he made a mistake or wants to help, etc.
Some of the transitions seemed a little off. I would've liked to see a fade to black when the woman falls asleep so it's more dramatic when the gets woken up by the sound. Speaking of sound, I think the subtle sounds should've been louder (e.g. crunching of the leaves when stepping, sounds when things are being picked up, clothes rustling) to build tension.
The entire film felt like it had a massive budget and looked really professional honestly, great work!!
This is all personal opinion and constructive criticism and i'm not really qualified to speak on this stuff by any means so i could easily be wrong but maybe it'll help you improve :)
Amen from Jacova 11..Gevurah
Nice idea the closure she presents as they give her the one she seeks, clever.
So well done with no vocals, you would have to be a neanderthal to not understand...Oh wait...? huge message, , brilliant. Eden II actually!
You need to create an IMDB listing for the short. I went to give it a 9 straight away, and you´re not there! Fantastic, just fantastic work!!
Here's the link. Thanks for your support!

Beautiful story telling
Beautiful film....🤩..Blessings from Jacova 11
I cried at the end, did not expect that. We’ll done 🙌
This is so well made, congrats I loved it
Bravo! Encore!!
at first i heard it like
“Temperature: ass
Humidity: ass
Precipitation: ass.”
A: "We're ready sir!"
B: Kid, there's only 4 of you, by the time you all get to great grand kids everyone will have down syndrome from the incest.
A: "We have to try our best for the human race sir!"
B: No I'm serious, there's absolutely no way this can work.
A: "Never say never sir"
B: And besides that, you'll come out of cryo with so much brain damage you'll only remember one word or less.
A: "We're prepared to do what it takes sir!"
B: Ok, _you know what dammit..._ *get in the pod.*
LOL would love to see a prequel of this.
Well done!!!
Wow soooooo good, very intense!
It leaves me wanting more!
That was really great. I love that.
well done. the symbolism wasn't overdone, nor overly explained, leaving much to each viewers own interpretation and understanding. Lack of dialogue is awesome, we've become so accustomed to spoken words explaining too much, leaving our own sense of discernment disengaged. Wonderful experience..
Who knew Brodin was so talented? Mad respect.
from making these masterpieces to babysitting goblins at otv 😭
Here from the award show x
straight talk. very good.
at last something different, thank you..
Class.
