Hi everyone! Simon and Kevin here, director and producer of the film. Thanks so much for watching our six-year passion project!
As you might already know, the film was made entirely with practical effects – using a fish tank for the space images, a real robot, and miniature models. We'd love to answer any questions you have about the film or the process of making it!
We have a deep love for genre films with heart, and we hope that shines through. Greetings from Sweden!
Sensational!!
amazing! Thanks!
WONDERFULL !! FROM BRAZIL !!
Absolutely worth 6 years!
Oh my god, way too sad!
The production value alone on this is stunning. The score is perfect. The story, the setup, and the payoff are very emotional.
This story was fantastic. Thank you so, so very much, for the incredible amount of detail invested in this work of art.
Very nicely written, directed and scored. Excellent work and yes, very much worth the effort. Massive congratulations
Amazing job. Congratulations from Paraguay!!
and now Im crying…
Great story.
Hermoso!!
Beautiful
Perfect!Loved it Thank all of you involved ad give us more!lol
Sublime
One of the better ones.
omg omg omg omg omg
Lovely film
I never though I would find a film that moved me more than Wall-E! I was rooting, in wonderment, thrilled and amazed! THANK YOU! Please, keep on bringing such ART to the world – we do need more of this and less AI contents – you are brilliant! I´m now your unconditional fan! ♥
Wow! So Emotional. I love It
Great job.Well worth the effort.I believe as we move forward with AI cinema we should not resist its influence.Filmmakers like yourselves should be the thought leaders for traditional cinemas preservation.
Amazing!!!
Heja heja heja!
Before jumping into the short movie, I did not read the description. While going through the movie, I interpreted it as a father who had somehow transferred his consciousness into a Robot and was looking for his long lost daughter. He had pasted the picture over the face of a human to remind himself of his goal despite the failures.
The moment when the robot chalks up another failure and then looks up to another ray of hope was phantasmagorical. Loved the movie and the effort that went into making it.
Outstanding ❤❤ lost in the sky @Dust
Loved it! Very profound! ❤
Superb!
It's too late to say "I'm not going to cry." Beautiful work. Thank you!
As a retired 3D modeler and animator, I appreciate and admire your work endlessly.
So beautiful. Very well done this is a great work of art
…from instagram..
This is NOT how physics works
Fabulous Gorgeous graphics and excellent soundtrack. Hope this little gem gets you some terrific opportunities.
Aburrido … volvé Alien .te perdonamos!!
That robot is more human than some humans I know it was giving, sacrificing and tons of empathy, well back to my fantasy world where everything is ok.
Wow!
Thanks! As the Russian poet said: "It's just a pity that neither you nor I will have to live in this wonderful time"
Great work, well done. I loved this film
Wonderful story telling. Beautiful Music. A real passion project and you didn't give up! Well done.
Nice.
This absolutelyAMAXING.
That was lovely.
suggest not having jarring ads pop off right at the most emotionally sensitive part of the film.
amazing work…i loved it
Linda historia ❤
This is what sci-fi is all about
Outstanding work!
Wall-e
Amazing ❤️
Wall-E?
Nossa! Realmente cativante e emocionante. Faz a parte dois quando o robô sai do outro lado do buraco negro, no universo dos robozinhos e robozinhas!
Очень грустный, но прекрасный фильм.
Я один сдесь переживаю за бедного робота и женщину?
new lgbtbbd genre – robot-gay
Der Roboter hat ein guten Geschmack
I see multiple awards coming your way. Thanks. And good luck. Although I doubt you'll need it.
He should have steered the other pod towards his and then find a way of getting into the girls pod so they could escape together. That would have made it a longer story. I think it's easier for a robot to sacrifice himself than it is for a human!!!
Intense!!
ESTUPENDO VIDEO, MIS FELICITACIONES. SALUDOS DESDE VENEZUELA.
Bye little robot bro. I promise l won't ever forget you.
Why copy. Cannot this generation create original shorts?
Incredibly touching and succinct! Excellent work
This is just absolutely phenomenal. Not only because it’s entirely practical. Everything about it: The cinematography, music, visual storytelling, pacing, atmosphere… chefs kiss on all levels!
What a waste of time.
The little robot had human emotions and longings. Great film.
Massssa
bom
Loved this
Loved it!!
Great movie, guys. And all on a small budget and CGI free…..amazing work.
amazing !!! Beautiful !! Lot of emotion !! I would love to know more of the storie and see more film like that !
It was actually phenomenal ✨✨
Meh! We feel empathy for the robot, BUT he’s a robot? Attempting to put human emotions in a AI.
Regardless, it feels sad/doomed from the start and finished with a sacrifice it was designed for?
One of the most beautiful films I've seen using pure imagination. The soundtrack also was gorgeous. Bravo my friend.
So predictable…. Like always.
Very nice. Kind of sad but happy ending. How did you create the black hole?
So we're supposed to feel bad for AI doing what it's told to do.
Great production but very simple thinking. Good without saying right.
Having the drone saved himself. Would have more impact and twist.
WELL DONE!
so Nice
Great job, thanks for the ride.
Very very excellent. Well worth the time I’d say.
