Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to watch this film. I know your time is valuable, and I hope you found it to be time well-spent. I have been absolutely floored by the outpouring of generous feedback that has been posted in the comments! Thank you! I could not have done this without the hard work and belief of so many people. To those who chose to subscribe, I have new and original content on the way that I hope will reward your choice to sub to my channel. God bless, and thank you all.
This type of feedback is rare indeed. I think UA-cam feedback is usually close to the mark; this is no exception. It is soo hard to make something really good. And the criticism, when one falls short, must hurt. I respect the attempts and deeply appreciate the successes, like this one.
i subbed. the film is gorgeous. i am filmmaker too, and would love if you could share the technical details around the shoot, and achieving such a stunning final image
Wow a 13 min short that is better then 80% of the hollywood 2 hour movies! Great acting, the cinematography was awesome, the plot was spot on, the ending left me thinking! What more can you ask for!
Just watched it, and have watched it a dozen times. The music is perfect, the cinematography is very well done, the concept is so cool. Some pretty deep moments like the 'invitation of the Almighty' scene. Better than many movies out there!
This movie is like an epic ode to the love for a woman… Reminds me of a dream my late spouse had. He died of complications from diabetes: both eyes operated, open heart surgery, dialysis, and loss of right leg. He dreamed God said to him that he (God) would restore him back to perfect health, but that he (my husband) would have to give up his fiancée (me). He told God that if that was the price, then he would remain as he was… How I miss my beloved and this movie made me remember about his dream… Great movie, simple, sublime, and EXCELLENT.
Excellent film thank you. I love stories that make you think, wonder & imagine. This film is a lot closer to the golden age of s.f. in the 60's. I've been hooked on science fiction ever since my dear departed Grandmother got me interested in the 1960's when I was a little girl. I'm now living inside my s.f. stories with modern technology making things possible today that were only s.f. in my childhood. How bizarre and wonderful.
Thank you for the wonderful comment! Sounds like your grandma was a great lady. I grew up in rural Texas in the eighties and nineties, so my entertainment was Bradbury, Heinlein, Asimov, Wells and others! I'm also a fan of classic sf films as well. This is very much meant to draw inspiration from those sources and I love that you got that!
Oh yes indeed Mike, my Grandmother was a wonderful lady. Thank you for your kind words. My beautiful grandmother, 1901-1975, was a very imaginative lady with a great sense of humour. I recall sitting with her in my home watching Neil Armstrong walk on the moon in 1969. I was 13 and allowed home early from High school. My grandmother told me she had seen it all now, from horse drawn carriages to cars to space travel as we sat there mesmerized by the moon landing. She wondered what I'd see over my life with new technology. As I sit here typing this message to someone whom I've never met face-to-face, using a mobile phone and the internet, I recall the classic science fiction stories I've read that predicted just this type of technology. I think my Grandmother would've been very switched on and open to today's technology, although she would've been over 120!😉. Stay well.
I not complaining, simply making a point. People who have hearing difficulties can not understand the dialog with the music at high levels. A lot of time it just in the beginning of the movie but by the time the music is turned down or removed the person with hearing difficulty never quite gets the gist of the movie. Maybe tone down the music on your next movie.
That was very thoughtful. Told a whole alien take over story in 13 minutes. You're use of dialog was interesting too. No dialog at all for 6 minutes but you still managed to set up the world, character, and plot. There were some slight audio issues with the dialog at the end, but other than that, it was a top notch short. This definitely helps to inspire possibilities for my own shorts. Great job!
Beautiful film and inspiring comments. On a lighter note: When a Tiktok ad interrupted at 3:52, I thought, "Here's a perfect juxtaposition -- the best and worst the internet offers us!"
This PIECE was not a Film.....It qualifies as a short MOVIE! This piece [as in ARTWORK!] was a mind gripping, soul grabbing, the body engaging, a thought-provoking dream to watch. I'm going to keep the Director Cliff Ozmun, on my radar
Michael Ozmun Production I've watched hundreds or more Shorts and never have I been able to call one "perfect". ....until now! You hit the nail right on the head. I finally found the word(s) to describe this film. I, too have to agree that this Short is more than phenomenal, more than amazing. This film reaches beyond those adjectives, far beyond. "This is perfect!" Congratulations, Mr. Ozmun; you can now say that you've accomplished something that very few of us can say. You've made the PERFECT film!
This film was absolutely breathtaking! The subtlty of the plot, which leaves you guessing, and causes your mind to fill in the missing pieces of what was so beautifully implied, but never stated, allows the viewer to draw their own conclusions, so that we each come away with a different idea of just what, exactly, is going on throughout the film...what humanity's fate will be...what the two men's roles are in it all...why he decided to stay even though the love of his life had passed on...all of it was left up to viewer's imagination to decide. A feat of such subtlety is enormously difficult to pull off, and can only be done when all of the pieces--the acting, the writing, and all the rest--come together to make a beautiful whole, which is exactly what this did! It's rare that I'm in awe of a film, but I'm in awe of this one! Exquisitely perfect, in every way! Congratulations! This was beautifully well done!
Thank you so much for watching, and for your insightful comment. I can't tell you how rewarding it is as an artist, when people are picking up what you're putting down.
@@MikeOzmun You're welcome! I truly hope to see more from you in the future! As a writer, I know how hard it is to pull of a work of art such as this, and you did so brilliantly! This was by far the best short film I've seen on UA-cam, and that's saying a great deal, as I've seen some truly excellent pieces!
This is the best short film I have ever seen........The young girl in the field looking upward and her face so photographic with those haunting beautiful eyes was dreamlike and surreal....Hope to see more of your works..Thanks for this wonderful short movie...
A masterpiece! This goes to show how films are supposed to create characters and beauty in our minds not on the screen. Somebody understands art in film very well here.
Hello Mike. The entirety of this artwork is so understated that, for me, the only word which comes to mind is...sublime. The soundtrack bears such a healthy dose of "hope", yet heralding a doomsday scenario. The acting is, as mentioned, understated, and absolutely inspiring. A truly magical piece of work...My sincerest Thank You for this creation. Myndpeace
Great short film! If I had to listen to the background music without the video, I would go bonkers in about 7 minutes, as it is, it perfectly sustains the tension of the story. Good work!
Its good and thought provoking, I have watched this 3 times now. Each time has been a little different, maybe it depends what mood I am in. Thankyou for making it
There are few shorts that make you feel as if you have watched a full movie or capture you such that you invariably get in an argument with another viewer about what was, what is, and what could have been. Good job.
Something was def up with that little girl! I found her to be the only really alien element_ I at least believed I could explain what everything else evoked. Hauntingly good movie.
Thought provoking, well executed, the acting is excellent, the music adding the right touch of atmosphere (albeit a bit overpowering in one scene but no biggie). No over-the-top drama , cookie-cutter knock off, just simplistic, basic, refreshing storytelling at its finest... the kind that takes your mind to other possibilities and lets it roam free. Reminiscent of one of my favs growing up, Bradbury. I have watched it 3 times and have been in awe each time. During this last viewing I picked up on a slight editing error but I also saw a few nuances that were very nice touches, adding depth to the scenes. Its not often I revisit things I have already read or seen. It takes something really special to just blow me away like this has. You have a new subscriber in me because I want more!!! LOL WELL DONE!!
Thank you for this thoughtful comment, the repeat viewings, and for the sub! I have more content in the works. Been so busy with paid work the last year and a half I haven't added content at the rate I would like. But with the sub count closing in on 1k, and the views nearing a quarter million, I've been working really hard on new content I plan to publish here over the next few months.
"If God is calling me home, who am I to refuse the invitation of the Almighty?" Perfect submission, abandonment, surrender, resignation to the will of God.
This is the second time I've watched this! I still cried.....cried at the beauty of a simple, wonderful story......of unconditional love. And how love changes us....and how God brings us home in due time. And how God heals us and makes us whole, again.
An example of how not to do levels onl effects, dialogue, and music which is admittedly quite difficult. The DP did really well all around. The writing was great. The cast did wonderful. Thanks for the upload.
Fantastic film! So well made and acted, with an excellent premise. I love the heavy, ethereal music but I just wish the dialogue was clearer at times - or at least have subtitles. I could not understand a word the woman said at the end, and had to trawl the comments to find out.
Thank you for the kind words. The audio problems are definitely a giant blemish on this project, one that I would do differently if I could go back. Alas, there is no fixing it at this point, for myriad reasons I've gone over in other comments, but I decided to leave it up here because this project meant a lot to me. Hope to have more short films up in the coming months that will feature the same soul but vastly improved production quality. Thank you again for watching, and taking the time to leave a thoughtful comment!
I loved this. I don't know what others are saying, i could hear the conversation and i thought the music fit perfectly. Well done, I so want to explore the backstory of these two guys. I loved the little things like the voice o the radio repeating "stay in doors , don't impede emergency workers.....dont try to help anyone" you know things are dire when your being directed to not help anyone!
Just ran across this... Simply great!! Too much of our society and our culture in our world is about living as long as possible. TV shows go on for too long; sports athletes do not want to retire; and most movies are a waste of time..... Then one finds a jewel in the desert! This is a great short jewel!
I always long for an alien encounter movie, that unfolds in a new and amazing way. The intimacy of this movie made it much more real and heartfelt, than filling it with special effects and technological speculation. You really showed how few props and little exposition is needed, if the story and the emotions of the characters are powerful. Great work !

Darion D'Anjou that might take awhile. is there a specific aspect of production you're most interested in?
you should turn this in a tv series idea Michael
Seriously ... Hollywood can go away. The true storytellers, the real creativity, is all underground. Such a great film!!!❤️
God yes, so sick of batman etc
@@larapalma3744 yes the superhero rubbish
@@larapalma3744 same here about Batman, but I hear Spiderman 78 is coming out. I think I'll get in line now....... or not
It's the same with music. Lots of great music to be had, but most is underground and local.
@@larapalma3744 So tired of the Woke Hollywood Agenda!
Every sci-fi movie should have the line.... we've been doing this for thousands of years.
What a cracking little film, mainstream film makers should sit up and take notice, I enjoyed it more than I have the trash around at the moment,
Nice. Nothing explained, everything implied. Imaginative, subtle, stimulating. Well acted.
Wow a 13 min short that is better then 80% of the hollywood 2 hour movies! Great acting, the cinematography was awesome, the plot was spot on, the ending left me thinking! What more can you ask for!
awesome, watched three times on a row. Thank you for uploading this masterpiece

Thank you so much!
Intriguing. If only 'Close Encounters...' had been so short!
Every frame is like a painting. Brilliant film by my friend, Mike Ozmun.
This is probably the fourth or fifth time I've watched this over the months. It's really really good. Thanks.
I really liked this....spoke of love and spiritual connection. Nicely done.
"Your two planets from retirement!" I love that line.
"You're" ... But yeah, great line. The viewer is given so much information through inference.

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOUR NEXT VIDEOS
Excellent story, awesome actors , especially the dude with the cowboy hat on. I didn't want this movie to end, best short I've ever seen.
It put the hook straight away, sad but good movie. Puts the Hollywood blockbusters to shame...... Excellent stuff, thank you
I'd love to see a full length version of this idea.
Excellent! Alltogether new perspective. Love it. 👍👍
THE best short film I've ever witnessed. Stunning!! Music fits perfectly. Great character acting. A keeper in my favs.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Bro great great job on this short film project the story was well written and very clear... and you directed the hell out of this project
Thank you, I loved watching it. I only wish it continued!
I am moved. Lean dialog, grand scope, atmospheric music, stunning backdrop. Thank you and do us all a favor and continue your calling.
Thank you for this.

This short absolutely blows away any pair of shorts that I have in my dresser drawer.
good one!
Awesome movie !!! But the music was Way too loud and the voices were too soft to understand .
Still a Great movie that I'd love to see expanded !!!
Great short film! If I had to listen to the background music without the video, I would go bonkers in about 7 minutes, as it is, it perfectly sustains the tension of the story. Good work!
when you love someone more than life itself
This is beyond a doubt my favorite sci- fi short film. Well done!
Sometimes 'quality' just shines through. It did with this short. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Kudos well deserved.
This is very touching. We are all star stuff, billions of years old. Just preparing to go home.
I really enjoyed that, it was different. Well made, sound and music good, acting better than most shorts. A definite subscription.
Thank you
Brilliant work!! Love it! Please continue to make profound ART.
Ex.cellent film. A real deep look at the place of Earth and humankind in the universe. Would love to see other films by this group.
Its good and thought provoking, I have watched this 3 times now. Each time has been a little different, maybe it depends what mood I am in. Thankyou for making it
Thank you for the repeat views!
I wondered.
I laughed.
I cried.
Goes on my SHORT LIST of ALL TIME FAVORITES.
...and then I started to watch!
I watch this over and over again....much love to you, Mike!
Thank you!
Tremendously heartbreaking. Astounding.!
Definitely time well spent! I too would love to see a full length version of this idea
Then he wakes up on a strange planet, where he has no name, just the number 6, and the guards keep interrogating him to find out why he resigned...
Well, I quite enjoyed this.
Well done.
One of the best shorts to date. I had no issue with music. Nice Job !!!
Wow, this was amazing. You could not have found a more beautiful place to shoot than Big Bend.
Nice one Mike. I'm sorry it took me three years to catch up with your work.
WOW....simply amazing, actually complex and amazing....thank you
There are few shorts that make you feel as if you have watched a full movie or capture you such that you invariably get in an argument with another viewer about what was, what is, and what could have been. Good job.
I'm liking a lot of these sci-fi shorts but every now and then one really stands out. This is one of those. Fab movie. Thanks
Geoff Scott very kind of you. thank you!
The music is perfect for this film. Side note: for a moment I thought the little girl was the alien.
Charles Schleicher me too!
mighta been! lol
The music was too damn loud!
Something was def up with that little girl! I found her to be the only really alien element_ I at least believed I could explain what everything else evoked. Hauntingly good movie.
What brilliant work -- unique, fresh and captivating. Thank you!
Thank you for watching!

"If God is calling me home, who am I to refuse the invitation of the Almighty?"
Perfect submission, abandonment, surrender, resignation to the will of God.
For me, a turning point came when these moments of surrender to the Divine brought stupendous joy. Nothing rivals this experience -- nothing.
he dont exist u fool. bible was written to control and calm the sheep, nothing else.
Wonderful movie. If I didn't know better I'd say you reached inside my brain and took my thoughts. Can't wait for the sequel
This is the second time I've watched this!
I still cried.....cried at the beauty of a simple, wonderful story......of unconditional love. And how love changes us....and how God brings us home in due time. And how God heals us and makes us whole, again.

Scary and maybe possible ,good film-- very well done, congrats!
Nice filming location..."who am I to refuse the invitation of the almighty" - I like that.
I find it amazing that I feel more intertwined by these free short films than I have by many feature length Hollywood films.
This film is a perfect example of less being more. The dialogue was minimal, and it was more powerful for it.
Thank you!
Yeah that was very good!!!!!!
Beautiful; quiet and considered and evocative of many ideas regarding life and death as well as our place in the universe.
Global Nomad thank you, and your analysis of the themes is spot on.
Mike Ozmun Unconventional and absolutely inspiring.
A.C.C. Films Thank you!
Where's your analysis of the themes? I'd like to read it
I couldn't have said it better myself.
Excellent short. Would love to see more from this film maker. I've added this to my "Great Short Films" playlist.
I loved this. I don't know what others are saying, i could hear the conversation and i thought the music fit perfectly. Well done, I so want to explore the backstory of these two guys. I loved the little things like the voice o the radio repeating "stay in doors , don't impede emergency workers.....dont try to help anyone" you know things are dire when your being directed to not help anyone!
Totally agree about the music ,its a backdrop of sublime intensity,with space[no pun intended] perfect for the scenery ,and dialogue.
Just ran across this...
Simply great!! Too much of our society and our culture in our world is about living as long as possible. TV shows go on for too long; sports athletes do not want to retire; and most movies are a waste of time..... Then one finds a jewel in the desert! This is a great short jewel!
I watched this last year and found I wanted to watch it again. Not many shorts get that treatment. Keep it up.
Farmer John thank you!
Really good short movie 👍👍👍
One of the best I've seen! A refreshingly new perspective. Thank you for creating something really unique! Love it!
That's a resignation from this life on earth and its planet scorching culture....very deep.....! :o
Just....perfect!!!
This is exactly what sci fi should be. Totally out of the box, something that really gets one thinking. Well done Mike 👍🏼🤘🏻👌👌👌🍻
Thank you!
Well done. That was heartfelt and true. So many good questions left unanswered - as it should be.
"Always leave them wanting more." Well, sir, you have left this viewer wanting more. Excellent work!
Make more please. Full feature. I think it's fantastic.
I always long for an alien encounter movie, that unfolds in a new and amazing way. The intimacy of this movie made it much more real and heartfelt, than filling it with special effects and technological speculation. You really showed how few props and little exposition is needed, if the story and the emotions of the characters are powerful. Great work !
