More About "Webcam":
WEBCAM follows James Mann, a distraught man who thinks himself alone amidst the aftermath of our world’s downfall in the not-so-distant future. He lives a solitary life within a sealed bunker, taking refuge from the ravages of a world run amok. James’ only companion is a small, artificially intelligent camera drone named WebCam, ironically without purpose in a world with no one left alive with whom to communicate. Forlorn and losing sight of his reason to continue living, James prepares to make the ultimate sacrifice…until at the last second, WebCam receives a signal for an incoming transmission. There’s somebody else out there…or is there?

If you were the last person on Earth, could you live without love?

[smoolwilly]

Wow, it's been a long time since I've seen such an exciting story and thoughtful production.

[NPRmageddon]

You can tell the director is just oozing with talent. He's covered head to toe in talent ooze.

[cdidear]

Fantastic. I was on the crowd funding team. I'm thrilled it's been made! Excellent acting, excellent writing and plot! Bravo

[SynthoidSounds]

Remarkably well done . . . one of the better productions I've seen curated by DUST in quite some time. The acting absolutely fit the compelling story, the CGI art is 1st rate, this could be extended into a series or feature film.

[mr.d.sadonoja]

Since coming across this channel, I have watched several amazing shorts, with compelling story lines. This one didn't disappoint. I would definitely like to see a part 2.

[JPS-hdqz]

Love it, - in these times where so many people have their 'smart'-phones as a companion...

[NatashaIke]

This is one of the stories that will keep you up at night, dreaming of what's gonna happen next. Bravo!

[TimmyMoza]

That was really good. The development of the story, revealing of new info… very emotional. Liked it a lot. Well done to cast, writers and crew. Look forward to more.

[alfaceuntauriprodigy]

I can live without company. I like to be alone. I love it.

[ciaphascain]

Was good up til the end. The moon isn't zero G. If she is the last woman on the moon, what was the deal with the train?

[Sentrme]

This story resonated with me! Being lonely really blows. Thank you for the amazing story and cinematography!

[hyponovalive]

Finally a sci-fi short with an expertly written plot. Lotta people know how to use these toys, but they don’t know what to make with them. This was good.

[trevorwilliams]

Dichen Lachman. These days, she's probably better known for playing Takeshi Kovac's sister in "Altered Carbon", but she'll always be Sierra from "Dollhouse" in 2010 to me. 2010 was a good year for Sci-Fi. "Dollhouse", "Caprica"... Very good times.

[nickdelgado]

WE PASSED 200K VIEWS!!! Thank you, everybody for watching and sharing our labor of love!!!! We are forever

[Mike-vkt]

World class writing, acting and cinematography. Masterful storytelling.

[bbartky]

Excellent short! However, it definitely needs to be expanded to full length since it raises more questions than answers. 😀 One minor touch I really liked was the method Webcam uses to create a 3D image. Anyway, I wish future success for everyone involved!

[rudiboyrip]

I always watch till the end just to hear the lady say subscribe to dust

[johnathancorgan]

At least a dozen plot holes, but that's pretty common with shorts. Nice production. Also: Sierra!

[stjohnthebaptist]

BIG BEN in ruins


***Was really epic and genuinely moving. DUST, I need the next
