Man, to state the obvious this was absolutely amazing for an independent film, great camera work, framing, acting, story - but more than anything I just love how you and the team took the initiative to go out and make this. Super inspiring to see people coming together for the sake of creating something unique, well done

Yo that shot with the spider trapped in the glass was incredible!

Zach. You’re ambitious, humble and the most encouraging person around that I know. This is amazing you pulled this off so effortlessly. Well done.

Holy hell man. I really don't know what to say. I can't believe you did this in 3 days and on an $8k budget. This is one of the best short films I've ever seen.

I love that your BTS videos did not reveal any major plot points and I could enjoy this film and its twists so much!!

This was incredible bro, great balance of dialogue to the silent moments throughout, i was completely into this story, and the twist was so perfect. Loved the camera angles, the choice of day to shoot on, the beats were like boom, boom, boom... it's inspiring stuff! I'm taking a break from writing my story, and after watching your Batman short film, I figured I'd see what else ya got, man am I glad to have come back! Let's see what else to watch!!!!

In Nigeria, we say 'ómò!!!' meaning 'wow!!!'. This is just... Wow. Great work. The BTS made me appreciate this even more. I really would love to read the script. Great work.

I had the privilege of watching this a few months ago and it’s absolutely amazing what Zach and the crew was able to do. A beautifully shot film and a great story and plot. Kudos!

A real twist at the end. Didn't see that coming. Even when it crossed my mind the two chasing her might be her parents, I still didn't expect she was herself the AI, a robot. From the early part, she didn't seem to know she wasn't a real person. A very well done film and a great story. Enjoyed watching.

Wow it is like short film version of M3gan. Congrats Zach it is a very good job. You’re on your way to direct full feature film on hollywood👏👏

OMG this is one of the best short films I’ve ever watched

Great short film! wow!

I really loved the story,acting and overall look and feel of the movie.Really well done.

Wow! This is superb. Way beyond the quality of many big budget films. I can hardly wait to see what you get up to in the future. Zach, people like you are why I am so optimistic about the human race.

Holy schmoly. I was completely caught off guard by the twist. Brilliant short film.

Unoriginal film ❤❤❤❤❤ worth the wait loved it watching again nd again

Great work! This plus the behind the scenes video makes me want to go film. Thanks for being a beacon of the indie film community and good luck on your next project!

Oh I can see the Amira in this footage. That's perfect! Nice film

Such great storytelling! Thank you for the interview, we are thrilled to have this on Film Shortage!

Love it! Great job from everyone involved. Ya'll knocked it outta the park.

Yep. Superb filming, sound, and acting. Bravo, MORE!

Wow! Zach and everyone involved you did a truly amazing job. Love the twist at the end! No lie everything about this I really liked. It easily stands up to the best sci fi’s out there, and managing to get that much world building and storytelling in only 14 minutes is amazing. You pulled this off really really well! Looking foreword to now watching the making ifs, even though we have seen bits over the last few months. Proud of you Zach, and truly inspired too. 🎉

Wow, this was an awesome short film. Great job director and crew! Bravo! Looking forward to more to come!

You are doing a great job in the direction and editing field. It felt very inspiring while watching the film do more film like this and with tutorial 🔥❤️

Wow!! Amazing short film! Loved it! Feels like it’s a shorter version that could easily be an episode of Black Mirror. Jacquie was awesome too! Bravo!👏👏👏👏

✨️Fantastic & great ending✨️ 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

That was awesome! 14 minutes felt like 5, mystery and intrigue throughout, great story telling! and all around well done!

Wow, this was so good Zack (and team). Been waiting for months to see this, and it did not disappoint. I'd like to see a feature of this.

Superb short film! Very well executed and great flow. Huge congrats to this incredible teamwork!

Another riveting, captivating and provocative film. Well done. Loved the "Nano" appearance. Cinematography was genius.

amazing and inspiring job! Great work! cant wait to see what you do next

Can't wait to see you in Hollywood ❤

It's been a while I have seen this kind of CONTENT on KZfaq especially in Filmmaking. I mean story, shooting, colors, acting and music all are just so much refreshing. I was thinking a few days back, about what is happening with youtube filmmakers, why no one is releasing something new, something unique, and here is a Zach with this banger.😍

Also, this is what sci-fi is supposed to be, IMHO: humans grappling with the future.

The direction is amazing. The use of colors and angles are all setting the right mood.

Very nice man! I've been following all your videos as you've been creating it. Well worth the wait! Keep creating!

I am gobsmacked! This is spectacular work. Zach, you are moving at the speed of light.❤❤❤

Zach, man, this is really really good. Cinematography is immersive and supports the mood. Editing is on point. Sound design is aces. Hope you've submitted this to some festivals. You're on you way, man! (Oh, and that drone shot was perfect ... motivated, unique, and masterful.)

Finest Short movie with great cinematography , background music and pacing was on point.

I can't believe what I have just seen!! This is insane!

Awesome!! Well done!

Absolutley blown away. Wow.

So wonderfull and totally professional work!

Original. Very well done; visually dynamic. Held interest and kept your interest. Intriguing. Thought provoking.

Mind blowing how good this is!!! I NEED MORE 🙌🏼🤩 But for real. Congrats. 🍾 amazing film !

Great man, watched the BTS about a week ago, was good to see the finished product :)

holy moly, I expected much, a lot actually, but this was so much more than I expected!

This is awesome!! Well done Zach and team!

This is simply awesome. I almost let go my dream of becoming a film maker due to some issues. Seeing you doing such an amazing work at indie level just motivates me to not give up on my dream of becoming a film maker.

Wooowww this is definitely an amazing short film. Enjoyed every second of it, the shots and the mood that was set was amazing. Very inspiring!!

Very nice! Felt like something Bradbury would have written. Kudos to you and your team, Zach!

OMG! It's so amazing!😍love it!

Damn, Zach - Got the plot twist. Awesome production and story !!

Fantastic!!! wow

this was amazing to watch, well done.

beautiful, intriguing, stunning- perfect.

Brilliant short and so relevant with current fears around A.I

Nice twist! Congratulations to all involved.

Hi Zach! It's a great short! Is there any way to contact you?

Wow! Great job, Zach!

Absolutely love it

Dear brother, just watched this short film i love it .. what a colour grading and some camera angles are super, total output is amazing 😍🙌 love from India ❤️

Very Nice! Loved this ❤

Looks great!

Wow what a film. Zack and the team big congratulation.

Really amazing short movie, just loved it

This is awesome!

AWSOME!

That was awesome!

This was a really awesome short film. Great production values. That house is amazing. I'd be interested in what your budget breakdown would be to get it to $8000. Above line, below line costs. Seeing as how this is roughly 15 minutes. If you made a feature you'd be at $65K. Not bad. haha Hopefully we will be seeing a feature out of you soon.

super inspiring! the work here is insange, the quality is very professional. thiscis very uniau

Wowww Absolutely amazing ❤❤❤ Love everything

I was waiting on this ..the build up was real

Zach ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Amazing work.

very well done acting and story kept my interest .nice twist i thought her parents were dead .this is main stream fare great film

Well, that's about the most intense thing I've experienced since I woke up in the middle of my extraterrestrial anal probing. Now that its over, I'm all questions like, "Why'd Clementine's owners have to go about the whole update process in such a secretive manner? and, "If Clementine is only a sort of android avatar for a wireless at-home lifestyle automation system, how'd she come to have school-going buddies to game with?" and "What was with the gas masks and all that? Is this some kind of post-apocalyptic better-case scenario involving humanity's recovery and adaptation to the new chemically-poisoned planet's atmosphere taking place with the aid of such systems?" and oh, the list goes on and on. I suppose that means you could fairly easily be sitting on the bare bones of a manuscript for a feature-length movie here, huh? I'd watch that! If you somehow managed to weave the same kind of tricksiness into the plot of that, I'd probably watch it more than once. Here's to you having studios throw large sums of money at you for your forthcoming blockbuster!

We've been warned . . . repeatedly! 💫💫💫 Dynamite soundtrack! 🎶

wow 🥰🥰

Good twist

good twist!

Suspense.

This is incredible. Great work!

Great. That Had some Mother and Ex Machina vibes

For me there is a no: why they wanted to stop her, why the necessity to mask, to many why not explaned. It was much better longer with some explanetion. I belive in self-defence, no matter what and who.

YAY SO GOOOOD OF COURSE

nice work

unreal work!

Phenomenal. 🖤
