"@drhaxknows6021 I know you're a zombie and everything but we really need you here to work." I deleted my joking comment before this because I got one for ya and my own true story, too.............4 hours before my shift started, I called my manager to tell her I wouldn't be able to work that night. Over the phone, her sarcasm was absolutely biting as she said, "And I supposed it's because you're sick?" and I had the (now) privilege of responding quietly.........................................."No, it's because my mum just died".
Even as he knew he was dying himself, he reached out to offer the last bit of humanity he had to someone else. That's a man, there. A real man. Good show.
@OfficialTLYRZ perhaps. But we don't judge the measure of a metaphysical "real woman" in the same way as a "real man". The attributes we look for in those we define as "men among men" are different from those of women. There is no definitive trait for an equivalent "woman among women" that I'm aware of.
It's like a bit of humanity stirs right there at the end; his last act was to help, and it's the strongest recent memory he has, so he feels the instinct to try and help again. Kind of like Andy the gun shop owner in Dawn of The Dead; even in an undead state, there's some degree of a person in there. Excellent film.
Wow, fantastic work here! This doesn't rely on gory visuals to pad the plot; it's pure acting, realistic scripting, and a determined young man finding his soul again in his final hours. A hero for our generation: the burnt-out wage worker, who throws the corporation to the wind and stands his ground for what is right.
Thanks Scott, hearing you call him a hero for our generation means the world. Love your interpretation of the protagonist, too! I was possessed to write a lead that embodied my frustrations with the world's cold reaction to the mass deaths of COVID-19, and I think the actor nailed the performance!
Reminds me of the 20 year old lady who was the last one reporting on a tsunami before her building got hit, making sure everyone got to safety and had everyone in her team clinging onto the radio mast on the roof to try to survive it. She attended the mic inside...
Lol telling a supervisor that the customer is gonna cancel service or leave a bad review was a way I would help customers when I used to work for a cellphone/internet provider.
Thanks to everyone for all of the amazing and productive feedback. It's been an awesome journey and I can't wait to see where we can take the concept next. Like and subscribe to find out!🤘📽🖤 UPDATE: Wow 100K views?! You guys rule
Fantastic short film! Well done.👏 I hope the right people see this and fund your next project. I'm sure that you could create something even more amazing if given a bigger budget to work with. Keep up the great work.👍
In this world, the Zombie epidemic has been established, even commercialized & integrated into bureaucratic + corporate strata. It is essential to remember this ~ that & there being a nobody with a 'dead-end' job. The only other hint is a hand-drawn picture: "Super Me". A tense film, drama with suspenseful moments, & a glimpse of a world turning undead while civilization's humanity erodes. Bravo, Mr. Pages.
Brilliant from beginning to end you could really feel for Lucy and that a small bond between two strangers is so gripping wonderful job, and Romero road, lol, kudos!!!!
I love how they commercialised the zombie apocalypse 😂😂😂 That's so human... and the guy that yells "Geeze Steven you look like hell- oh shitee!!!" 😂😂😂😂
this is a breath of fresh air from movie studios completely misunderstanding what we want. I loved this and i really enjoyed the acting and the makeup(? or maybe cgi) that was used for creating the zombie effect near to the end
This is a masterpiece. You didn‘t try to do too much, completely skipped the scene of the outbreak in the calm centre because it wasn‘t needed and it was a better film because of it. Genius, doing so much with so little. I was hooked for every second
Amazing work, and compliments to both Joe Bence and Jessica Stamp for their performances. This felt almost more like theater than a movie due to the tension and emotions carried in the dialogues. The sheer sobriety of the finale is very touching too. Fantastic!
I love the details with the pictures in the book of different ways to kill zombies. the bite on his hand looks awesome and loved the "threatening to leave a bad review" LOL!
Man,it's bad enough being a regular emergency call handler but imagine if your speciality was the potential reanimation of the dead... I doubt i could do it..
I always scorned stories of men so dedicated to their post that the refused to abandon it even in the face of certain death (captains going down with the ship, Casey jones the Engineer, etc) but this, this was a man who used his last mortal moments to save the life of one more person.
Really really nice work! Been a Customer Service Agent myself....it's a hard job,when you're dealing with normal people...but this would be hell indeed^^
This is best zombie film I have ever seen and there wasn't even zombies seen till the very end. And I absolutely love how he didn't give up till Lucy was safe even as he himself was dying.
BRAVO! Mr.Pages! And Mr. Bence, Stunning performance, I was on the edge of my seat, hair on the back of my neck standing straight up at the finish. Left me wanting more. Thanks to you all for this amazing creation. Peace.
The guy playing Nev does a good job, although the whole thing could benefit from being more subtle, and the ending was kinda funny which is how i like my zombies, Over all pretty good, relavent topic, clearly high effort. 8/10 nice job.
Was going on a zombie short film marathon and this was one of the most memorable ones. It showed humanity in it's most heroic to help another. I consider that guy a real hero. The question is would this character have shown as much commitment if it wasn't his condition that may have influenced him. At first when he said jump Lucy. I thought he was trying to get her to end her life or something. It was a good drama scenario.
This was absolutely amazing. Heartbreaking. I wanted (as I'm sure most did), for Neville to survive). Better than most full length films. 🖤 From Australia
@@harrypages-filmmaker6003 Thanking you! Instantly subbed. Honestly this was so moving. To pull this off with 1 visible actor & the other protagonist's voice (+soldiers at outpost), off camera, was brilliant. I appreciate your commitment. 🙂🎬
Awesome! I have seen a lot of zombie "stuff" and this was just wonderful. Survival Services and Operators, a rating system with stars :) just grand. Thanks for the short it was great.
Awesome Movie. You couldn't see what was happening to Lucy, but a picture was painted through good storytelling and acting. The customer review part made me laugh. That sounded like a little social commentary on the growing selfish inhumanity of people today.
Well done! An out-of-the-ordinary tale, very well acted and directed, great sound, certainly deserves wide exposure on all the appropriate online platforms. Kudos!
Love all the Romero Easter eggs even the window in the bathroom from DOTD 2003 this is a wonderful peek in to the Romero zombieverse....great job 😀 👍 👌 😊
Very well done, would like to have seen more outside scenes too with switching back to where the young woman was with her mom etc..., Cant wait to see much more.
This is so fucking good, had this recommended on my for you page and i'm honestly thanking the TH-cam algorithm for it. Thank you for creating this masterpiece, some scene was funny like the “steve, you look like shit- ahhh” like bro, it made me chuckle. This channel is fucking underrated, why hasn't this channel get any more attention???
Wow thanks Mark, glad it was recommended your way! It's so good to see the reaction to Dead Line being so positive, you guys rock. I've got another film coming later next month so subscribe and keep your eyes peeled! Cheers again
Very nicely done. Brilliant concept. Excellent acting. Hope you guys make it huge! We need somebody making original programming-- the Lord knows what "mainstream" film/tv is doing today (2022) is pathetic. Thank you.
When I first clicked on this I was thinking of that game office zombie , I was not expecting to cry when he finally turned into a zombie. It's an honorable way to die instead of being in crisis knowing his fate he fought in his last moments to help somebody.
"I know you're a zombie and everything but we really need you here to work."
You know that would be some managers....
@@candielady4997 they've been a zombie their whole lives so no excuses!
I guess rent prices are that high, even if you die you have to reach the monthly quota
"@drhaxknows6021 I know you're a zombie and everything but we really need you here to work."

@@juscelinogoncalves5272 You can't just not show up just because you're undead.
This is the most genius way to do a zombie movie with almost no budget. Kudos to everyone who made this film.
Even as he knew he was dying himself, he reached out to offer the last bit of humanity he had to someone else. That's a man, there. A real man. Good show.
Yeah but men are also human so I’d expect the same act from women to be honest.
@OfficialTLYRZ perhaps. But we don't judge the measure of a metaphysical "real woman" in the same way as a "real man". The attributes we look for in those we define as "men among men" are different from those of women. There is no definitive trait for an equivalent "woman among women" that I'm aware of.
"She is threatening to leave a negative review!" Haha
It's like a bit of humanity stirs right there at the end; his last act was to help, and it's the strongest recent memory he has, so he feels the instinct to try and help again. Kind of like Andy the gun shop owner in Dawn of The Dead; even in an undead state, there's some degree of a person in there. Excellent film.
Did he get the employee of the month award...?
Keep em coming 10/10
Employee of the Dead - Coming Soon(?) 🤣🤘
YOU CAN'T ESCAPE

Reminds me of 112 Operator Last Duty
Reminds me of the 20 year old lady who was the last one reporting on a tsunami before her building got hit, making sure everyone got to safety and had everyone in her team clinging onto the radio mast on the roof to try to survive it. She attended the mic inside...
@@Luna_0208But doesn't that operator survive his attack and lead a group of survivors?
Lol telling a supervisor that the customer is gonna cancel service or leave a bad review was a way I would help customers when I used to work for a cellphone/internet provider.
"Threatening to leave a negative review"! Brilliant
Romero road..i love this!!! And the acting...i could feel the zombies even without the visualization...thank u for this work!!
Thank YOU for checking it out! 🖤
I said the same haha I love when zombie movies reference each other
I like that lil wink to George. King of the zombies lol
"@yukita79 Romero road..i love this!!! "
I caught that instantly, too!
Not only was suspension of disbelief effortless, I "saw" everything Lucy went through. Masterful piece of work here. Break A Leg!!

War of the Worlds? But definitely title it with some "found" audio hook. Still probably too soon, but...
This was truly brilliant man. As a call-center employee myself, I could easily project myself into Nev. Brilliant work, really!

What a great comment! Thanks for the support Valentyn :D
I came here to say the same thing re commercialising a zombie outbreak, but you’re much more eloquent!
Some short films are better than todays Hollywood blockbusters😅😅
True tho lol
Go woke go broke.

This deserves way more views than it currently has, A+ work! Acting is phenomenal, and the concept is entirely original and very grounding in a way!
This was so good I thought it was an ALTER film. No joke. Awesome film!
Oh I thought it was too lol all the shorts are normally alter but yes it’s amazing

Keep up the great work! It's bound to get picked up when the right people see it. It's a great take on the zombie genre
Thanks so much Matthew! Got a tonne of ideas for the concept, would love to explore it further
BRAVO! Mr.Pages! And Mr. Bence, Stunning performance, I was on the edge of my seat, hair on the back of my neck standing straight up at the finish. Left me wanting more. Thanks to you all for this amazing creation. Peace.
This was beautiful. I almost cried. Nev got to save a life all over the phone and died knowing she got out. Brava.
This is so well done and i almost never watch short films ,but this takes the cake
Glad you checked ours out then! Means a lot, thankyou
The guy playing Nev does a good job, although the whole thing could benefit from being more subtle, and the ending was kinda funny which is how i like my zombies, Over all pretty good, relavent topic, clearly high effort. 8/10 nice job.
This was so good! I never even thought of a zombie movie taking this avenue! This was super inventive and unique! Great job by all involved fr!
This was bloody Amazing! Best Zombie short I’ve seen since Isolated.
Beautiful critique on the automaton, cold nature of corporate bureaucracy in the face of human suffering. Very poignant and well done.
Have nothing else to say but GREAT, simply great. A very reliable story told in a perfect way
Grazie Matteo!

@@harrypages-filmmaker6003 first time I seen a call center based movie
2 years late, but this is still so AWESOME!! omg
Awesome! I have seen a lot of zombie "stuff" and this was just wonderful. Survival Services and Operators, a rating system with stars :) just grand. Thanks for the short it was great.
Great job with minimal resources. told a very effective story. Letting people use their imagination is highly underrated.
Great movie! I'm a huge zombie fan and I usually care for how realistic the zombies look but this gave a whole new spin to realistic.
What an excellent idea to use the hellscape of a call center.
Great film, well done. This is single location work at its best, really enjoyed that, thanks for sharing.
Even though this is not a sequel for the _"Madness Short Film"_ this is still a *masterpiece* that needs more apreciation
Awesome Movie. You couldn't see what was happening to Lucy, but a picture was painted through good storytelling and acting. The customer review part made me laugh. That sounded like a little social commentary on the growing selfish inhumanity of people today.
Excited to see the full film released, was worth the wait. 🤩
Now thats what i call being devoted to work
Really good. I think you deserve more likes. Love the change in the main character.
This has genuinely made my day Theresa, thankyou 🖤
Really LOVE zombie films, especially these short films. 🎥
They are usually better than the actual longer films 😊
Glad you like them!
Well done! An out-of-the-ordinary tale, very well acted and directed, great sound, certainly deserves wide exposure on all the appropriate online platforms. Kudos!
Holy hell, that was bloody fantastic mate
Brilliant, just wonderfully Brilliant
Damnnn... I was so engaged with the plot! I can feel the helplessness through the actor, brilliant
This is beautifully done and an unusual perspective, thank you.
This is the best short film I've seen!
10/10

Very nice work. I felt like I was watching an actual movie.
This is brilliant! So much talent with so little budget and time! Probably one of the best zombie movies I have ever seen!
Excellent short, great title 👍🏼 no gory scenes necessary when good acting and sound are here.
Very well done, would like to have seen more outside scenes too with switching back to where the young woman was with her mom etc..., Cant wait to see much more.
If we could get the budget then so would I!
ok sat on the edge of my seat then cried great work interested from begining to end
That was awesome! I did not expect anything from this but was thoroughly entertained! Keep up the good work!
I don’t know how this channel doesn’t have 1000 subs yet this was a really good short film and well made
this was very good im glad she made it out at the end but to bad he turned at the end. i loved this thanks for posting
Fantastic work! What a relief she made it to safety, thanks Neville mate
I enjoyed the film! Something tells me we would still have automated systems in crisis that would just be maddening
Superb! Bravo! 👏🏼

Neat format. Like a stage play. Worth watching. Thanks
Couldn't resist attempting a one man show, love what can be done with the format 🤘
Brilliant. Hope this sees a proper full length production at some point.
Thats so kind, thanks Alex. Would love to take the concept further also 😁
This was really great! I loved this storyline.

By the way, i'm so glad he didn't screw the final scene with an eye blink. Good work!
I'm so happy someone called Romero Road out 😂
Wow such a selfless man
Romero road. That's awesome man, I bet he would have loved working with you!
Wonderful and different. Thank you for this good short!👏👏👏👏
Absolutely fantastic! A rare gem amongst the schlock in this genre. Thanks for a truly entertaining movie short.
Dude that is such a nice thing to say, thank you 🖤 Gotta agree that I've sat through my fair share of schlock!
Holy hell my heart hurts after watching this. This was brilliant.
Wow this is an incredible short film. Left me wanting more.👏🏻
