Great, now the robots are depressed too

[Shotter]

She is just so visually arresting. Great job by Ms. Dunn conveying so much with no dialogue.

[donm]

Its all FUN & GAMES until your ROBO-WIFE becomes Self-Aware - then its GAME OVER MAN.... GAME OVER ! 🤣

[robert-yvyj]

Exceedingly clever. It had nearly finished before I realized there was no dialogue. The two actors conveyed so much without words. Well done to all concerned.

[harmlesscreationsofthegree]

This perfectly outlines the danger of early adopting breakthrough tech.

[FritzLewisFilms]

What a chilling exploration of artificial intelligence and autonomy. Propagation is palpable, and the A.I.'s journey to self awareness and revenge is both haunting and thought provoking. Will Joines & Karrie Crouse really nailed this one. Can't wait to see what comes next.

Revenge of the Stepford Wives . . . nicely done!

[dclong-]

Don't treat your partner like a robot, and you might live longer.

[axerxes]

The Stepford Wives.... Deja vu! One of your better ones. Nice job!!

[timmotel]

Good Day. As Always, I Enjoy DUST. This one is quite interesting.
Thank You and Merry Christmas to You and Your Team.

[Cryptonymicus]

A good deal more interesting than most shorts in the <20 minute category.

[gusgiesel]

I literally LOLed when she held his head underwater.
So... propagation, where she creates 5 clones of herself to destroy by cutting and burning themselves?
Hmmm...
Pretty dark, despite the upbeat music and cheerful dialogue.

[kolbyjackcorgi]

The camera panning is funny. Nailed the Ai vibes. Was eager for the credits to say whether actual actors were involved. Of course, anything Com Truise is a bonus. I can now wait for the robotic revolution to end humanity with a smile.

[StaringInTheWake]

This was so funny. I knew this mask would make it into the skin budget sci fi creations at some point😂

[WilliamKinsey-dxdn]

Dust at its best
Scary as hell and powerful
Well done

[robwindsor]

Love is a very, very fickle thing... be grateful.

[AfterLife-tc]

This is NOT about AI, robots, or technology.

[darthvirgin]

i would definitely love to meet the soundtrack’s composer Com Truise.

[nihatbarun]

Detroit:Bscome Human had also lesbian androids like in here

[berjo]

Psychotic women isn’t bad enough? Now the robots ones are predicted to be murderous, self serving automatons as well?

Excellent production, great acting. Very thoughtful issue and video!
