Great work guys, it was so much fun working with you! Give us a call when you're ready to make another one 😏Until then, happy new year! 😄
It was a great masterpiece of artistic chest. Keep up the great passion ^_^
Amzing work with the chest
Always a sucker for fantasy n stuff xD Love your channel! Happy new year
First of all this short movie was A-Mazing and secondly your chest was equally A-Mazing!! Great work to everyone involved to make this project happen. Can't wait to see the next project they create with you!!!!
Thanks for sending me over here to watch this. It was wonderful and a bit heartbreaking!
you did a spectacular job on that chest
Who else is here thanks to Nerdforge? :D
Me... 09:30ish PST, Yuma Arizona... Chest is great and so is the movie. Some real potential here.

@@Jobjoossen totally agree!! 👍

I only found out about this film yesterday thanks to Nerdforge! ♥ Luckily, I don't have to wait that long, but I still can't wait. I'm looking forward to it so much! *o*
Came here from the NerdForge to see Martina’s work in action. Didn’t know her wizard staff was in the film too, cool! Great short film, I was pleasantly surprised!
Also, isn't that purple crystal her necklace too? Or did they give it too her, like as a thanks for making them things for the film?
Im here from Nerdforge and did anyone else notice that they used the mage staff Martina had made before too?
Timestamp: 21:31
i saw it. i even thought, isnt that the staff martina made?
I did!!!
Yeah, and I came here to comment this, lol
I was wondering about that!
Also, isn't that purple crystal her necklace too? Or did they give it too her, like as a thanks for making them things for the film?
So, my explanation and my theory about the film. Spoilers.
The chest is a magical portal to a fairytale world and the jewel necklace is a talisman connected with it, a magical key. The book is the story played in the chest and that was his fairytale and the same story happens it seems every time the chest opens. What opens the chest is what they’ve done, a kiss when touching the chest. They transported to the fairytale land, playing the tale, seemingly unaware of the “real world” when in the fairytale world. They act as they belong there. The talisman along with the chest seems to be a family heirloom and the grandfather along with his wife (that wore the jewel in the photograph) probably experienced the tale. His death in the fairytale transported him to the real world but the jewel stayed behind in the river. When he touched the chest though, it lighted up. Is he connected now with the chest and the fairytale world without the talisman? It seems so. It seems his fairytale isn’t over yet, he is destined to go back to save her from the enchantment.
Oh, and the shadow things probably weren’t real but just a hallucination produced by the barbarians so the the couple trust them and enchant Nina.
I think the story needed about 10 minutes more, but it’s a great effort nonetheless.
😮👏
Ok amazing and it needs a sequel plsssssss xxxxxxx
I like to change your theory a bit:
The chest stands for the hearts of two persons, the necklace is the love, the key for it. He gave the key to her, and by believing she loved him too, they were able to open their hearts for each other. That led to a happy time with each other, were everything is beautifull and perfect. They indeed aren't aware what happens in the "real world" because they just have eyes for each other. A real fairytale.
But then came the shadows... maybe they were just in their imagination, maybe they were a real threat. They stand for everything that can be happen in a relationship: jealousy, lies, cheating... whatever.
But there are friends at your side, helping to defend you and your loved one from those shadows, or do they?
Everyone will know, that not every friend is a real friend and that there are some barbarians out there, who are not embarrassed to make your partner to go with them. And when your partner turns against you, it hurts. It is like a knife, maybe an arrow, in your back. You feel this pain in your chest too, like there is another arrow in there.
And then you die in your fairytale world, in those beautifull world where you loved each other. You wake up in the real world, alone, with nobody left to talk or support you. Alone...
You want to go back, in to the fairytale world. But it is over, and your partner closed their heart, so the chest isn't open anymore. But the key to your own heart still belongs to your partner. Trapped, maybe forever, in a world you can't get back.
But is the adventure over?
What if there are other fairytale worlds?
What if someone else has a necklace and gifts it to you?
It is a story about love, betray and heartbreak. And if there is a sequel i would hope it is without Nina.
At first i thougt i wouldn't understand this movie, but thanks to your theory, i came to my own. Now i am crying, remembering those fairytale worlds i experienced, and those lost necklaces...
@@jankersten4543 I like this theory a lot, great take
and the chest was made by the head witch called Martina, Of A Wizard Cult Called Nerdforge
That was surprisingly very professional. The actor playing Emil was strongly believable from the very beginning. My Norwegian is very poor; even though it's home, so I had to use subtitles. But it flowed so nicely that I barely realized I was reading them while watching it. Of course an Epic location but also the score was perfect and *not* overdone. I could have watched a lot more. But sometimes short films are just. ..Perfect, like this one. I'm also here from Nerdforge but I plan to link this in the forums. Congrats. ..I look forward to future endeavors. *THUMBS UP PEOPLE*
I have to add that I really like the grandfather. I would really have liked to see more of him. He had a presence, gravitas, that really came across.
Overall, great casting and acting. I just wish that there had been more time to fill out the characters a bit. :-/
How can someone thumbs down this? This is a project of passion and love.
They jelly (jealous if you don’t speak me)
unfortunately,, haters gonna hate
Some people prefer a happier ending, and one not so open to interpretation. A lot wasn't explained. Why did they turn Nina against Emil? What was their motivation? Who were the Barbarians? So many questions, so little dialogue. I'm still upvoting--I enjoyed the story immensely. But I can understand why some would find it too unusual for their tastes
@@2L82Pray1 I suppose, but the thumbs down dropped before the film even started. 🤷🏽♂️
They probably accidently clicked it while scrolling. It happens
NerdForge sent me here!
Same!
same
Came here from Nerdforge and twas not disappointed. In fact this lass wants to see more, maybe a sequel??
Came here from Nerdforge. Was disappointed... that it was over.
Really enjoyed it. Great job!
@@chloegirka863 you got me in the first part
Who else needs a sequel where Nina and Emil get together with a happy ending.
Whit a litle help of a good witch called Martina, may be (guest star?).
@@jglvidal noice
I came from Nerdforge😉
Me too
Emil: reaches to open the chest
Me: AREN'T YOU GONNA CHECK FOR TRAPS, FIRST????
you want to get eaten by mimics ? because that's show you get eaten buy mimics!
Legit had the same thought. I was like wait dude! Roll for perception!
Greetings from Nina!
Nooo, not that Nina... :) Nina from Bulgaria...
Seriously, congratulations...it was very cool movie! Keep up the good work!
P. S. I found you with the help of Nerdforge.
This is brilliant! Just watched the whole thing with english subtitles and enjoyed every minute. The music is amazing, bravo!
I came from Nerdforge but I’m only 3 minutes in and I’m already blown away by how GORGEOUS this is. You’re telling me there was NO budget here?? I didn’t expect the acting and the filming to be so immaculate. 🤯
No budget but better than some million dollar movies, here from the nerd forge!
What a sad story :(
I'm here guided by the light of the Nerdforge, the tale is beautiful!!
We need magic in this world 💜💜
If I'd come across this out of context, there's nothing in the production that would have made me think 'low budget' or 'amateur'. (And I'm glad you didn't try to make it in English for the TH-cam audience or anything.)
Great :D but one thing in the credits is missing "no woodpeckers were harmed during the making of this movie" 😄
Or pheasants
Came from Nerdforge and wanted to see how the chest looked in action. Was not disappointed. I was actually totally intrigued with the film and wanting to know more of the story. Great job all.
I came from Nerdforge, stayed for the amazing story
This was amazing great work🥰🥰
Ended up here because of the chest prop, now I'm waiting for the sequel. 👍
I came here after watching Martina from nerforge build the chest and I was curious. It is a nice short movie. I absolutely love these passion projects.
Visuals: 7/10
Plot: 6/10
Music: 15/10
I'd say visuals were 10/10
Greetings from Germany, came here from Martina =) I want a second part who else??? I am always happy end addicted :D
Really like a lot of this highly performed zero budget production. Very lucky last minute cast (Emilie Sophie)!!! Amazing locations, good lighting, good story (only question: Why did the Barbarian wizard bewitch her? Jealous?), really good acting and directing, nice set design (Maybe the chest is a little bit overdone. Though it`s a magic chest, I`ld prefer a really old damaged look), great epic music Thomas (except the heartache song in the end). I bow my head for you guys.
Thank you so much, means a lot! :)
Oh dw she has a pretty epic backstory, we just didn't have time to tell it ;) maybe in the future 😁🙌
I agree. The chest looks too exotic. A really old looking one with cool inscriptions would make for a more convincing prop.
@@sakurashounen i think it looks cool. also nerdforge put a lot of effort into making it
I want that chest. Looks awesome and still hope he gets Nina back. Great story.
I was kind of ready to watch two hours of this
Yeah: even though it's almost 1:00pm in the phillipines i'm here lying in my bed watching this
Here from Nerdforge screaming for part 2
For anybody just checking this out, go watch all of the episodes about the making of this film. It's even more impressive when you see everything they went through to get this done!
Watched from Australia. Thomas's score is amazing and beautiful, the mix is great. Great joy guys, looking forward to proudly owning my own copy!
With budget... very nice. Without budget... incredible! I mean Wow!
Hi, from a NerdForge Fan. Cool Movie!
Congratulations. A really fantastic short film and a typically Norwegian one too. The Music ❤. This is a cinematic experience of happiness. Keep it up.
One thing was missing: "to be continued". I do hope that there will be more to come.
The NerdForce says hello, amazing movie you guyz, keep it going.
Hi from the 🇬🇧 ...Bravo 🤩👏👏👏
Amazing teamwork , 🇳🇴beautiful location.... looking forward to more in the future

🙋♀️ am a big Nerdforge fan and follower there since i found them few months ago
This is an awesome🤝collaboration
Thank you for sharing beautiful creativity.
My cold russian heart is melting while im watching this movie. Thanks, Nerdforge, thanks, Andyax.
The chest brought me here, the awesome movie convinced me to stay. :}
Noooooo, come on ... he has to get her back! That was excellent!
What a beautiful film. And the casting of the children was wicked good! They look so much like the grown actors!
Came here directly from Nerdforge ! What a treat ! A big thank you to them and the entire movie crew ! I'm ready for the sequel 😎
Damn they're all speaking elvish fluently! 😲
Lovely film. Stunning work from Thomas on the soundtrack as usual, good acting, and huge props to the prop designers... stunning chest!
There's room for a sequel to flesh out the dark side :)
A beautiful video - I came here from Nerdforge and wasn't sure what to expect, but this is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing your craft with us (and for the English subtitles!).
This was beautifully shot, well acted, and fantastically written. It would be lovely to see another part to it.
Oh My Stars !! That was awesome.... Nerdforge sent me and I was blown away !! Hugs from Canada
This is far better than most of the content on the big streaming sites, really hope you'll continue telling this story!
Skjera Bagera from the US! I'm here because of Nerdforge and I'm a film maker too! @Andyax great short film!
OMG!!!!! You guys SUCK!! I nearly choked on my dinner. I'm still bawling like a baby. That was not the happy ending I was waiting for., damn faidytales. Awesome movie!!! And how cool Nerdforge has their name up too. Sweet. Seriously! That was a epic little movie. Now to dry my face and try that salad again.🤗💟
I came from the NerdForge channel, too.🤗 I hope you do a continuation of this! I'm hooked now. I would love to know what happens next!🤗💕 thank you to everyone involved who made this storyline possible!😊
Okej, acting is decent, costumes are a bit too LARP-ish but decent quality, makeup is not too over-the-top, photography is beautiful, special effects are finely inserted, grandpa is great, I totally feel the passion and good work behind this project... but the story does not make any sense !! What's even the point of it ?! There is no line, no actual plot, being transported to another world is normal, WHERE DO THE FREAKIN HORSES COME FROM AND WHERE DO THEY GO ?!?? Who were the bad guys ?? who are the barbarians ? What's the point of anything ?!?? It feels like A Nothing Very Well Executed, but a Nothing nonetheless...
I was thinking like you, but that ending explained all things and gives sense to everything
AAAAA.... I want to translate the subtitles to portuguese ;_;
I’m gonna need a part 2 and I’m gonna need a lil more backstory on those Barbarians THANKSSSS
Update: It has 2 10 * Reviews on IMDb
Sent by Nerdforge. GREAT video! is that the end of the story? or is there more to come?
There is certainly going to be a sequel to this, how could there not be!
Amazing story, i came from nerdforge like manny, and the story whas amazing, i just cant stand the semi openness of this ending, i need a part 2
NO BUDGET I DONT THINK YOU COULD ASK FOR MORE. AND THIS DEFINITELY PROVES ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE! SO FOR ALL THE HATERS OUT THERE SHUT IT AND PROOVE YOU CAN DO BETTER. GREAT WORK *ANDYAX*
This was so beautiful I think I might have cried a little towards the end! Great job guys, I came for Nerdforge and stayed for the epic fantasy tale that I won't be forgetting anytime soon! Loved it!
Beautiful story and thanks to Nerdforge for leading me here
I want to know what happenes, does he go back, does he save her. What the heck, I need to knooooow!!!!
Nerdforge brought me here, your dedication for telling such a beautiful story in such a stunning way made me stay. Thank you for your work. It's so wonderful. Never stop following your dreams.
That was really cool! I did come from Nerd forge to see the result ... but that was awesome. I had to read subtitles, and I still loved every minute :)
There has to be a part 2. There must me a happier ending. Thanks Nerdforge for sending us to the channel. Pat-South Padre Island, Texas
Wait a minute, chest prop? I'm pretty sure they made the wizard staff too. Just because it wasn't specifically for the movie doesn't mean they shouldn't be credited for it.
0 budget and its better than a lot of productions with budget. That is passion for you.
This was amazing, I'll take one sequel, please!
This could be a whole show, not gonna lie. You did such an amazing job!
Hello! Nerd forge sent me here, a really great film, it left me hungry for more.
This is my second stop from nerdforge! This is so cool! Keep up the good work ♥
Yoooo, hold on, this that also Nerdforge's scepter?
Absolutely amazing. Nerd forge sent us here to watch it and I’m so glad she did xx
It's like the pilot to a TV series! This was spectacular!!
Well Done!!! Really beautiful. I'm looking forward to seeing more. Shout out to 'NerdForce'.
THIS WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to see more for you!!!
Riktigt bra jobbat! 👏🎬🔥
Came from Nerdforge, love the film
Wonderful film and work guys. Thanks to Nerdforge for a beautiful chest..
Awesome work. I enjoyed every minute.
Thumbs up, subscription too
Keep it up
And thanks to Nerdforge for this wonderful link
Sent here by Nerdforge and so happy I came. It's a film that shows you don't have to spend hundred of millions of dollars to create something amazing!! I look forward to the next one. Also, loved to see Martina's staff put to such great use.
Hey! I recognize that staff, too!!! Martina needs a job at Industrial Light and Magic NOW
Watching from South Africa...found you via Nerdforge :)
I’m only here because of Nikoline Bangen (@nbangen) Amazing TikTok page, and damn she was right!! What a truly Epic experience , with NO budget!? Great job, truly 👏🏽👏🏽 Hat’s off, can’t wait for the sequel !!
Hey haha thank you so much :D I appreciate your support!
Probably the best short film I've ever seen
Here thanks to Nerdforge, but... LOVE THIS! what a work! I need a sequal haha
WOW. Martina sent me, but I was hooked from the beginning. Extremely well done!!
Super cool! Awesome awesome awesome. 10/10 production.
Greetings from Montana USA...via Nerdforge...excellent! I just subscribed! I am hoping for a sequel. Perhaps the lessons will be about maturing beyond helplessness to a predestined fate...and finding empowerment toward persistence in shaping our own destiny. Every story is a fairytale, the question remains, “ who is the author of our own”?
That is very beautiful!
Listening to this wonderful language, I have to wonder, how well could a German and a Norwegian communicate? How close is German to the Nordic languages? They sound so similar to the untrained ear, quite honestly I wouldn't be able to tell unless you put the two on paper lol. I'm only two minutes in and I already know I'm going to love it!
Hi, I’m a German gal who has been working in Denmark for almost four months now. Reading danish is pretty manageable, it’s quite close to German but also English. Speaking danish is definitely more difficult, since there are some strange sounding sounds. Understanding spoken danish is - in my opinion - the most difficult one.
@@kg0704 I hear Dutch is sort of a middle ground between English and German, with hints of older, deader Germanic languages. I also hear that there is a very small group of communities in the northwest of Netherland that still speak (almost pristinely unchanged) Old/Middle English... Frisian I believe, its closest lingual cousin is Old Saxon (now dead). We need to bring Frisian back from the edge of the grave lol, I don't want to lose another "living fossil." At that point the only ancient language left living will be Greek lol
@@kg0704 It suddenly hit me that I am a major nerd and I'm sorry for that -paragraph- _essay._
@@Runedragonx How can you not be subscribed to Simone Giertz! 😆
Norwegian is a germanic based language so some basic words have the same meaning, meaning that you would be able to do basic questions in both directions unless you meet a uninclined person.
This is so well done!!! 😍👌👌🙌 came from Nerdforge!
originally brought by nerdforge but this is an awesome short! everything is really really well done and it was engaging to watch! Fantastic work!!!
I've never heard much of Norwegian spoken, despite a part of my ancestry coming from Norway. It sounds very much like a language you'd hear in a fantasy story.
Wow this was a great short film. There was so much going on; drama, love, and scope all in just under an hour. I'm a huge fan of this channel and what you guys do. The massive time and energy that went into making this film definitely doesn't go unnoticed. Each person involved in this project played their part well and deserves all the right recognition. To do a genre film, especially fantasy, is a daunting task to undertake for any filmmaker for any number of reason. However, Anders held his own and created something very enthralling with astonishing production value. This is a ten out of ten for me!
Great work of all! I love sooo many choices that went into this. I myself am not big fan of the day-for-night shooting but thats what it is. I really enjoyed what you guys did with the music/composing. I myself wouldn't have changed to lyric-songs at the end but I understand how that comes to be. So much great collaboration that happened as well as all the editing work, impressive!
Sorry....but the story isn't good in my opinion. I would not go so.far to say it's boring but there are much worse productions from the technical side, who become much more successful viral movies because of fascinating story and cut ✂️
Artistically very well done ......Maybe I am the only one to think so but sorry guys ...at Christmas with a deadly virus lurking too close for comfort ,,at a time when many need to feel life is worth living , after a great buildup I found the ending very depressing ..Almost as if someone found that their fairy tales all came to a bitter conclusion....
Wow, this is truly a piece of art. You should be very proud of yourselves! Love from North Sweden.
