After Covid 19 pandemic disease that movies become almost real. Greetings from Italy.

Finally. One that makes sense, has a plot and shows that there is still hope.

Finally a post apocalyptic short that isn't all slow and boring, well done.

He’s a great actor to be so young! That running scene gave me anxiety out of this world ! Lol

This is an amazing short film. The locations are just unbelievably spot on, I don't even know how you managed to find such perfect places to really capture this post-apocalyptic world. And during the chase scene i was completely on the edge of my seat. Definitely one of the best short films I've watched.

Excellent and without saying a word. Powerful, bleak with a subtle suggestion at the end. “Life goes on” Many, thanks.

Good job, Ben! I especially liked the burning feathers at the beginning. Keep up the good work!👍

As a film student I was analysing this like crazy and I must say, I LOVED IT!! The tone was very good, it was all actions and no speaking which I loved. I was on the edge of my seat at certain moments, I felt sympathy with the young boy. When the man didn't kill him I was so relieved. The actors did a good job, they weren't cringe worth like others in short films. The use of locations was a big surprise. You had plenty of places to show the impact of the apocalypse. The use of shots were very grasping. Guys you did a great job, I hope you'll make more short films for the future. :)

for only a $300 dollar budget i think it was as good as the big money movies i like it

One of the better P A short films i've seen. Telling the story visually and musically rather than with dialogue hailed back to silent films that had to tell their stories with action rather than words. Very well done.

It’s crazy that Hollywood can’t come up with anything this good.

This is one of the best films I have seen this year. Thank you.....

Very well done. Much better than most movies with thousands of times as much money. The teddy bear was the perfect prop, it gave it a touch of humanity which made the end believable. One of the best short films I have ever seen.

Watching right now. This is INTENSE!! Excellent film

This short film was done 💯% extremely well. It is a perfect example that less is more. I like how you didn't overdue anything or try too hard by making it over acted or complicated. It was executed and filmed perfectly. I also like how the bird's nest was empty as the boy left to reclaim what was stolen and then the bird's nest showed eggs in the nest upon his return and his coming of age. Nice detail. The running scene was one of the best I have ever seen. The boy was flat out running full speed with the two in hot pursuit - it looked real because it was real running. The fast running made it believable, heart pounding and intense. I think you should enter this film in some film festivals. Look up the "Artist Market" books of Film and Video which can be ordered at a bookstore. They make Artist Market books for different categories, example for artwork, cartooning, greeting cards and film and video. In the book, it will give you addresses, phone numbers and how to enter contests, festivals and how to submit your film. You really have something here. Run with it. I loved it! 😃🐻

Wow. This deserves WAY more attention. I love how simple and fast you told a story. Just. Excellent job there.

In a class of its own among thousands of short films about this subject. I've not seen its equal yet after months of searching.

I'm impressed. A chase scene through the woods where nobody trips!

Wow! Seriously that was amazing obviously the kid lead acting was brilliant but a actors only as good as his team and that was a team who knew how to film. 10/10 and i dont give those EVER!

This is one of the most brilliant, beautiful, intelligent, well made, creative, and simply perfect short films I've ever seen. Amazing job, very well done!

This is the most surreal, outstanding short film on KZfaq that I have seen so far. Excellent work

This was really a work of art. It was great before the last shot of the nest. The nest took it over the edge.

Very well done! I liked the look of it, the ending served it well, and the soundtrack at the end was awesome. Plus, that chase scene....Nice job!

Jesus christ, this was i, i cant even say how awsome that was. In some pasages my heartbreak was insane. This can go to cinema like thriler. Good job.

Thank you for telling me a story instead of showing some tough, strangely dressed hero with a rifle walking thru the woods forever. Very nicely done..

This was excellent,. I enjoyed it from start to finish. Very well made. Very believable. Great camera work and acting Loved the ending.

I have to say that this is my favorite post-apocalyptic short film I've seen. I really like the serious and realistic take on it. I also really enjoy this type of cinematography. I'm glad I found this!

Best post-apocalyptic short film I've seen! Well done!

Mate just watched this and really liked it. I think it's a perfect short story. Doesn't explain anything but I still found a complete story inside. Especially liked the use of the birds nest.

Wow! I got a gut ache from how tense that was lol

"At least grab the dead dude's machete!" That was a really good film! Super locations, nonverbal films (if you don't count the unintellible shouting) is the best sometimes

Ben~ My heart is still racing. This is an excellent movie with great acting and a perfect ending of survival. Thank you.

Good on edge feeling! The kid can run!

holy shit, man, this was phenomenal. I can't believe what I just watched!

Wow quite unique.. And very realistic.. A part 2 would be awesome

The cinematography, soundtrack & music were all excellent. This was far above the usual short films of its kind posted on You Tube. Usually I sit back and laugh a bit and don't expext much, but this was actually tense & suspenseful. Good idea not to have any talking and to shoot in winter.

European AF. Reliving the Middle Ages. God Bless America.

Excellent film making. Congratulations! Loved the lack of dialogue, allowing the images tell the story. The chase was one of the best I've ever seen in all of my 50 years!

absolutely spectacular film. excellent imagery, great acting, high tension.bravo.

Now that's what I call a "fleet of foot" thief ! That was some good running there And camera keeping up! NICE

Nice touch with the nest. -) Respect .

This was phenomenal on a $300 budget! Great job. I'd love to see something you do with a decent budget. Keep it up. You certainly seem to have a future in film making.

I was totally absorbed by this short. Next thing I knew, it was over. Well done! Excellent editing and camera work. One of the better Post Apocalyptic movies on YT.

Remarkably well done. That moment @ 8:50 was especially chilling.

Very impressive and very well done. Amazing example of telling a full story in short time. I felt everything that it portrayed and the eggs in the nest at the end made this story come full circle- I am a fan!

Good film. Good story line, Great shots, audio, acting. A+.

Falling feathers in the beginning, nest with eggs at the end. Powerful stuff here.

Wow! What an excellent film.

Just imagine if this had a big budget! Anyway one of the best post apocalyptic short films I've seen

I'm in love with that pan left then switch right at 8:45

Outstanding job. Reminiscent of The Road.

Bravo! The last time my heart raced as it did watching this movie was twenty years ago with The Shining. Great work on ALL levels.

Nice thrilling movie my dear all the best for the future

I don't care what anyone has to say about this film. I know what I like, and I like this film. It doesn't matter what I say or why. If you like it too, then enough said.

Fantastic. Deserves far more views than just under 500. Quality like this should be seen and appreciated by far more people. I think a bright future in film-making awaits these guys.

This is amazing! The best acting I've seen so far! The cinematic were incredible during that chase! Hoping to see more :) You deserve more views!

Good short. I enjoyed the ending.

Well done! Good direction, nice action, an entire story without any dialogue. Very good!

Solid acting! How fast they ran woah that was fun to watch! Keep it up!

Loved it... That chase seen was incredible!

Brilliant really enjoyed the thrill of the chase and hiding scenes. This film really draws you in. It is very reminiscent of 1960's early 70's British films like Kes and The Loneliness of the Long distant runner. For a film like this I think that dialogue would spoil the atmosphere that is created. Well done!!!!!!

What kind of lenses and editing system did you use? This was fantastic by the way. Seen a lot of post Apoc movies on youtube and this really stands out.

Lesson of the story. 'Speed beats Strength.'

WAS HOLDING MY breath! NICE

Thanks, nice short film... It's just sad see the yng teenager 13-14yo lost all obects that he had found everywhere for survive in this apocalypse world. Well done.

This is seriously fantastic!! It truly stands out from every other short film I've seen here on youtube!! I can't wait to watch more of your films. You've earned yourself a new subscriber 😊😊

Awesome work! A story that was told with barely any words. The bird's nest at the end was beautiful touch and symbolism. Excellent job!

Beautiful.. the chase scene was awesome

This was a really good film, well done. Proves that a good narrative can be told without the use of dialogue. The chase scenes took me back to the feature film, No Way Out, with Kevin Costner. I don't know if that film was an inspiration but you did it very well. Edge of the seat of stuff, great messages through the use of great story telling. You understand the language of film without a doubt. I hope you're still making them.

Wow. And all without words.

Damn, that was gooooooood!

excellent ! excellent ! great film work of art. I think Hollywood could use a few lessons from you.

Fantastic !!!

Best short apocalypitic I have seen so far!! Good job!

That was amazing! No words to define!!!

Great job everyone! I was definitely hooked, wish there was a series of this.

What a great film. No script needed. Thanks and hope to see more youve done since.

A marvellous piece of cinema! You should be extremely proud. This was done, in my humble opinion, to perfection.

Very Good Short Film. Left me wishing there was more!

Nice, very good. Excellent direction and good writing.

by far my favorite short film. keep it up! this is awesome, especially for that budget!

c Est un début, je trouve cela pas mal du tous avec du suspense en plus et se jeune garçon joue très bien son rôle! Cela vaut un 20 sur 20! Je sort mon pouce bleu positif en grand, bravo!!!

Well done Ben! I've got a post-apoc short geared up, so I've been looking through what other people have been doing. This is by far the best I've seen so far. Keep it up.

Coming of age... Liked it!

Set: beautiful. Props: beautiful. Actors: Spot on. Well done, my friend. With proper funding could make for a better than average feature film.

This borderline mastery work...

by far the best short film iv seen yet.

For just 300 dollars awesome the running through woods shot was great!

Best post apoc short film so far, amazing chasing shot. No any line but the message well delivered... Amazing...

Really well directed and shot action sequences...very compelling action, not overplayed at all...next time don't tell them what you spent...leave them guessing...bravo...job well done, indeed...

Before I say anything, I have to point out that I make money by movie reviewing alone, so I know a good movie from a bad one. This review would include everything in the movie from acting, and the environment and to the camera handling. Acting: The acting was incredible from the kid to the bandits,the young actor surely made an outstanding job to appear truly horrified from the many horrors of the world,but also to appear striving to feed himself and probably the young girl as well,while showing his attempt to hide the fear from what's out there and appear strong to himself at the very least. Acting Rating 5/5 Camera: The camera and photography was perfect,it shows the style of shooting which only appear in the great Hollywood movies. The way this movie was shot constantly amazed me, from the top-down views to the close and far focusing. To the amazing scene in the very end, which showed the small wall separating the bandit from the kid - just perfect. Camera Rating 5/5 Overall Landscape,Attire and Clothing: The clothing which the characters wore in this movie was incredible. Worn out just enough to look real and not too much to be an exaggeration, tip of the hat for your stylist. The landscape however was a little inconsistent, the green forest to mountain like region to the dull forest(at the chase scene) didn't feel right. The zones looked too different from each other to look right, however the house at the final scene was incredible,looked wonderful and seemed all out perfect. Overall Landscape,Attire and Clothing rating 4/5 Music: Music was wonderful, always fitted the desired theme and was continuous all around the movie, Nuff said. Music Rating 4/5 What can I say more that this is one of my overall best movies I have ever seen, it was perfectly executed and I can say that it tops one of the best Hollywood movies I've watched. Great work fellas and I hope to see more from you. Subscribed and thumbs up! Overall Rating: 5/5 - Masterpiece

Pure beauty. How you did this on such a tight budget is beyond me. I would love to see this turned into a full length film, with more background on the main boy (who now, for some reason I am calling Kyle). Bravo! Subbed.

This was by far the best short film I have seen here on YT! I would hope that you expand on it to make a feature film out of it. The potential is great. This film rivals ANY film made in Hollywood. I think it would be excellent if you expand on it. Even here in early 2019!

Loved the cinematography. Film shows words aren’t always necessary.

Awesome and intense from begging to end! Sweet movie, dudes!

That was well done ,great camera work.

Wow! I've watched a lot of these and this is head and shoulders above most of them. You did an amazing job with very little, I saved this one to my own site, I'll need to watch it again. Congratulations, you hit it out of the park!

Kudos, surprisingly good. Nice shots of animal skulls and scenery depicting the barrenness, also the empty/full nest...but mate, you NEVER hide in an empty house in the woods, first place they look, tsk. Had a good feel to it though.

Newspaper headline on the floor was a good touch And the birds nest imagry too

Well done, Amazing work, Keep at it, I would love to see more content in the future. Great stuff.
