More About "ROAM: Rider Of Another Mortal":
In an underground hidden lair, FIAR, a mid-20s street kid, works on hacked ROAM technology. He's interrupted by an old woman seeking help. she claims that she's an 18 year old kid, and that someone stole her body, and left her in this old shell. Feeling bad for the kid, Fiar lets her in, and reveals that he has a device that might help them track down her original body, and if they can get it back, he might be able to put her back inside of it. He hooks her into his device, which allows him to scan the ROAM Mainframe for her body, but as he does, he realizes that it's a trap, ROAM operatives are flooding the tunnels outside his secret lair, and the woman that he let in, is secretly working for them. As ROAM Agents bang down the door, Fiar disarms the agent, sets a bomb, and escapes through a secret tunnel. ROAM agents give chase, and corner Fiar. But they do not realize that he has Body Hack technology, an enhancement which allows him to tap into his own bodies natural resources at will (adrenaline, dopamine, norepinephrine, etc...) and juice up on them, giving himself temporary superhuman abilities. He escapes capture, but is shot and mortally wounded in the process. With only minutes left to live, he makes his way to an upscale penthouse apartment, where there is a young woman handcuffed to a chair beside a strange device. As he dies, he hooks them both into the device, turns it on, and transfers his consciousness into the body of the young woman. We realize that Fiar has really been this young woman all along. Not wanting to risk damage to her own body, and now that she has been marked as a terrorist by ROAM, she finds unscrupulous people that have stolen bodies through ROAM, and uses their bodies instead. With ROAM showing no sign of slowing down their operation, she has much work left to do if she hopes to destroy their operation. But for now, it's good to be home, back in her own body.

ROAM, on the surface stands for Rehabilitation of Abandoned Minors, but underneath the surface it's an acronym for Rider of Another Mortal. To me, the title, and what it stands for, is one of the best things to come out of David's insanely creative mind. Double entendres are perfect vehicles for storylines, and he hit the nail on the head hard with this one.

Hi @Andrejs Asd, thank you for your comment. Before we began shooting, David was rewriting up until the day. From the get go, I was adamant about this story ending with a cliffhanger, so on the surface it's a short, that finishes like a pilot without being overly obvious it has a TV feel, which obviously leaves the audience wanting more. A feature adaptation would be nice, and I would proudly get behind one, but I think the world of ROAM is so vast and complex that a series would really do the characters and story justice.

I like the duality of the name Roam. You see the name on the building first, so you associate it with people "roaming" in another body. But later when I heard "Rome" in the monologue, I instantly thought of Imperial Rome and the corruption and disgusting behaviors of those Emperors like Nero. It's all the negative connotations of the Roman Empire. Not sure if this was intentional, but it is fantastic in all that it implies!!

One of those rare true Sci-Fi movies worth 10/10. I'm very grateful to you David Jung. It takes a lot of time, & many DUST movies to see, before finally finding a great director like you.

DUST as a whole has been either amazing to watch or absolutely excruciating depending on the moment. This is a major exception to the general kind of feature where thwey lay out bits and pieces of a story but never actually anything resembling an ACTUAL STORY. Here, this follows the short feature bound, but lays out enough that it FEELS fully developed, it is in a world that has touch and depth and is "tangible". just three or four lines of expositive narration gave us everything we needed to know to place this scenario into the world and make sense instead of a visually impressive but disjointed mess that leaves more questions than answers. its one of the few videos ive seen on DUST that actually feels like an actual project and not the artsy "look how i can use camera angles and visual metaphors" piece you always see on DUST

@@davidfujung you dont realize how much your film is a departure from what i normally see. I mean i know the point of DUST is short features and none of them show "the full story" but so many of them leave so much of the world and story unanswered and the clips are done almost as if they are simply lifted from longer features.

Obviously, if this is made into a series, there'll be a lot more depth to the characters, which is all it lacks... Perhaps the best short I've seen on Dust, ever. Do hope you get your funding!

Thank you for your comment. You're absolutely right, we need a series to really dive in to the characters, their backstories, and the A, B and C storylines. We're actively developing this IP as a series, and have a feature script or 2 ready to go. With a little luck, perfect timing and blessings from the "Movie Gods", we'll get there.
