Wow. Her performance was eerily cool. I can’t help but think she only told them what they could handle. Brilliant!!!

[generalpublic]

There are so many films, including this one, spoiled by music which is louder than the dialogue. For the hard of hearing, like me, it is a problem. I caught so many words, but without subtitles I can't say for sure what this film was about. It would be nice if film makers considered everyone in their audience, rather than a select number.

[jamiepatterson]

What caused her to lose her sight? Was it the brightness of the new world they found, or the overall brightness of the wall itself? What type of life did they find? This story needs continued.

[skorp]

This could be the prologue for an insanely good scifi film about an inverted reality

[zethraelofteldrassil]

I must think this short through. Forty years in space, jumping through a wormhole, coming across a "wall", which she entered, finding a second "earth" (I am surmising), then she returned back to Earth? I lost track when the panel spoke of meeting family and friends, and how she was getting on with them. None of her family would still be alive, and she would be over 100 years old. Did she not return to the original Earth, but landed on the planet she discovered? Was it Earth from another dimension? Were the interviewers from that Earth? Help! I am so confused.

[Legna]

"Any regrets?”
"Duh!... I’m blind!!

[donmcneal]

Dust..., another smart one. But I would appreciate closed captions to follow when dialogue is kinda muddled...

[lmarshall]

This makes me think so much of Stanislaw Lem.

Beautifully executed. Fantastic backing music and simplicity that brings a sense of effortlessness. Thank you.

[jfpary]

So excellent for such a short story. This would definitely require a sequel!

[Elkyri]

From the 4:00 minute mark to about 5:30 the music is loud enough to make it difficult to follow the dialogue. Captions would help there as well as with the distorted voices of the interviewers.

[paulramsey]

Why are so many of the comments on Dust shorts the same, particularly the early comments. "This should be a feature length movie". "I want more". etc. It's like it's some sort of bots trying to talk up every movie. This seems like the someone's outline of a story with a little visualization to go with it. It didn't actually feel like a story to me.

[dougnicholson]

I would love to see this as a full-length feature film or series. Very well done.

[mikej]

I can't figure out why that was so good.

[Omnifarious]

An interesting effort. It didn't move me.

[panzerabwerkanone]

Space. In addition to a towel, bring sunglasses.

[flavioprojects]

OMG it just dawned on me: That's not the real Elizabeth Esther from our Earth! That's the other Earth's Elizabeth Esther!

[jeromejooste]

Nice use of very simple effects and a surprising cameo of a processed Juno image (done a couple of those myself) made it into the planetary line up. I suggest the score is toned down a tad to not drown out part of the dialogue.

[theogottlieb]

Thank you for the fabulous first feedback, it's a real pleasure for the whole team. We look forward to future comments or questions about the film. :)

"Do you have any regrets for watching it?" "No,

[ludwigvanbeethoven]

This is very Kubrikest. Stanley would like it!
