More About "Worlds Apart":
The year is 1940 and the setting is a London city hospital. Outside the window are signs of war; tethered dirigibles and a night sky pierced by searchlights. In a single bed, a bandaged young English soldier wakes from a coma. TOMMY DAWSON remembers the battle at Dunkirk, but little else. He is surprised to find himself back in London and sharing a room with an elderly and distinguished gentleman. HERBERT explains that the sheer number of wounded and lack of space is the reason Tommy’s been placed in his private room. Tommy is dismayed to learn that he has been unconscious for a month and during that time London has been under aerial attack. He is anxious to see his wife whose visit he missed and then to get back to his unit and the war. Herbert dismisses his love for King and Country as jingoistic, and before long, they are arguing the merits of war. Tommy sees the book Herbert is clutching and believes he is either a preacher, or a cowardly pacifist. Tommy becomes distraught when Herbert reveals that his wife was killed a month ago in the English Channel. News he kept quiet to spare him the added grief. Tommy’s anguish quickly turns to anger as Herbert’s defeatist attitude confronts everything he fought for. Blackout sirens wail as the city is thrown into darkness. Tensions are at breaking point as bombs start to fall. Is Herbert a Nazi sympathizer? Or something worse? Tommy’s world is turned upside down when he finally learns Herbert’s real truth about the war raging around them. A truth that will blur the lines between reality and fiction.

I played Tommy in this production, and really appreciate the great feedback you are all giving about our film. Principle photography was all done in 48 hours back in 2014, and it took years to come out but so great to see all the amazing comments and love from you all. Cheers, Chris.
Simply amazing acting. The whole production and cinematography were so real and well-defined that I had to watch the video several times to catch all the little nuances popping up on the streets.
@@RobertDeloyd thanks Robert appreciate the feedback!
Fair dinkum I've watched heaps of dust catalogues. Seeing this a while back,again today.
Theyre all pretty good but some hit ya like a classic twilight zone.
This is one .
Wish it ended with the baseline from the musical score.
@@58customline yeh it’s a good little film. Thanks for watching!
You are a fine actor. As one myself you were very authentic with your sense of incredulity over the realisation of what was happening and also the loss of your wife. Such a great short. Do you have a link to other work you have done?
The way the doctor pointed and said "you're conscious!" got me..😆
A very good vision of the tripods.
Finally something called "Worlds Apart" that isn't a generic dimensional travel plot.
Started reading Wells as a child...I am now almost 70...this was excellent! Well done and thank you 👍
I started a bit later, and got the Jeff Wayne Musical Version at age 10, had me hooked. Been into Sci-Fi ever since, and I'm pushing 60 now. "Thunderchild" (the ironclad that tried to defend the steamer) is wonderful. Haven't seen the new stage show... Yet. They even picked an actor that looked like H.G. (see Wells Wikipedia entry)
Who else of us old folk pictured an episode of the "Twilight Zone" from the 6o's?
MEEE! I’m not old enough to have been alive when it first aired but I’ve seen dozens of the black and white episodes regardless.
I didn't. But now that you mention it, this one is certainly worthy of our departed Mr Serling; he would no doubt approve.
A good Twilight program was the 1959 "And when the sky was opened". Season 1 episode 11.
Watch it it's good. Enough said. ;)
By the way, this was good even the ending introducing G.H.Wells last book " Mind at the end of its tether".
4 of 5 stars.
Compelling. Nice extension of HGW's War of the World's.
Great acting. Thanks
I thought this story might have been leading somewhere else at first, what with someone else dressing him for "the ceremony", his wife leaving flowers, and the depressed doctor eating meds like they're sweeties while crying about losing contact with his wife.
That's one hell of an adaptation of War of the Worlds. Enjoyed it immensely. 👍
H.G.Wells would be proud
Thanks for the spoiler.
I knew I recognized this. I've seen this before, and it just got pushed to recommended. Still a great film.
This is one of my FAVORITES!! We need more of these. Lets have us a flashback Friday too lol! I love to GET DUSTED!
just an immaculate conception....
The power of S-F is to cause us to consider ideas, even unpleasant ones. They haunt our thoughts when we're alone, often in the dark, when closing our eyes against them is ineffectual. Well done, you. Thank you.
This was a great tribute to War of the Worlds.
Now THAT'S what I'm talkin' about! Much of what Dust has been showing leaves me scratching my head and wondering what I just watched but this was just great!
Good to hear that I am not the only one that finds most of what Dust shows a bit confusing.
I thought I was hesitant until he started saying them and showing signs of lost hope. Then he spoke of the invaders and the soldier realizes this isn't the war he thought it was. I was fully invested and didn't even know I was trapped. Now I'm mad this story is finished. Bravo!
Damn straight! I wanna see a longer, bigger budget, version of this movie.
Thank you! We worked so hard on this.
@@denarisnoctem4562thank you!
Beautiful British twist of war of the worlds that came to fruition in this gem.
Although the original was set in England.
Wow, that was inventive! Mostly 2 guys talking and I was riveted!
CG has become a crutch for lack of story telling. This was great.
Looks like they upgraded their tripods, about time !
This would have been a wonderful stage play.
This old straight veteran knows what you're you're trying to say.
And yep
HG Wells lived in a nice little house overlooking the Sea, right near the Castle at Sandgate UK.
This is more than awesome
Excellent take on War of the Worlds.
One of the best sci-fi short films I've seen. This could easily be an episode of The Twilight Zone. Complete with twist.
I agree! Totally had a Twilight Zone type of presentation.
Would need better actors though.
@@MrMaxeemum Well that is going to be hit or miss these days. The original Twilight Zone had the blessing of some rising talent before they became famous. Prime example one William Shatner.
A simply brilliant adaptation of HG Wells' story. I just loved this!
I can agree with that. Its very well done.
Man I wished they did a full length movie on this! I loved the War of the Worlds! Well Done, Well Done!!
Wow, that was just outstanding! One of the very best I've seen on Dust.
Powerful, gripping, with on heck of a lesson we've yet to learn. God bless us all.
Im Gobsmacked , the was one good version of the war of the world, i was not expecting that, Great story line.
Brilliant! Well done Timothy and all concerned.
Well done this is absolutely brilliant storytelling and as a War of the Worlds fiend, this ticked all the boxes for me. The final message about H.G Wells was a brilliant cherry on the top. Would love to see another part of this eras battle against the martians and humanity. Top notch sci-fi 👌🏻
Exce3llent short sci-fi film. Well done.
great video
One of the best I've seen on dust!
Awesome!! ❤️
Thanks Einienj!
@@CMaiers 😊♥️
Best ever, thank you!
I love to see sci-fi short film made on low budget.... because you know how can you achieve with very few crew and small creative VFX.... i like it and visual effect quality looks like a episode of Doctor Who in between 2008 - 2010... I like it
That was really good! Felt like I was watching a stage play!!
This is bloody brilliant!!
So good 👏👏👏👏 Thank you!!!!!!
🐾🐾😎 - Texas
Ah a short movie done in the classic way par excellence
Superb! Deserves a million views.
There would have been the blackout warden coming to shout "PUT THAT BLOODY LIGHT OUT" !!
amazing! thankyou!
Best version I've had the pleasure to watch
That was excellent.
A really great short story/vignette. I didn't see the conclusion coming before the reveal which is rare enough to be worth mentioning. The performances are very good as well as the editing and cinematography. Punching well above your grade on all counts.
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I love this. I love the angle that you approached this from. AWESOME
That was really good. Thanks for sharing
Excellent
I greatly appreciate and enjoy when Dust's Throwback Thursday shows gems like this one. 👍👍
A very nice short story. Well done.
Honor a H.G. I Love this short 👑
Always been an HG Wells fan. loved the twist ending on this! Didn't expect that at all! Well done!
Really enjoyed this. A short film for sure, but a fantastic concept, played out well, with a really cool tie-in. I especially appreciated how the film makers made the alien mechs look like more "rudimentary" and "old school" versus how they were portrayed in other WOTW works; taking into account the earlier time period-setting of the film, (and the original) and the possibility that the aliens (just like us) are going to have different levels of technological advancement depending on the time period that is the setting. Great job folks!
Wow I really enjoyed that thank you.
Hell of a story kept me glued on like crazy glue!
That was a beautiful adventure.What a wonderful way of telling a story.
The acting,production and imagination was tops.
Thanks Philip that means a lot to me. We worked hard on this.
Definitely one of the best thank you
Had this one figured out less than half way through, and so glad I was right! WOTW is one of my favorite sci-fi novels.
Great video! Thanks for this! Wish there were more!
I really enjoyed this, Timothy - well done, you and everyone else involved in its making... 🐙
Loved it. The doctor was throwing me off a lil, but damn good
Had me going still thinking ww2 , I commend you for that great acting
Top notch piece of work. I loved it. Thank you.
One of your best in a long time. 👍
Darned if I haven't seen this before.
Dudes head wound keeps moving.
Mind you I've never read one of his books, but . .. . . that was REALLY well done. I'd love to see this version of the book on the big screen.
Read the book. Amazing. Also the Time Machine. HG Wells was centuries ahead of his time.
viewer agency, subversion of expectations and a nod to the best sci fi writer of all time? have my upvote. a gem on dust - a rare occasion
Thank you, By coincidence I have only just finished reading the "Space machine" by Christopher Priest.
Simply put, this was... phenomenal! Twilight Zone indeed.
That was brilliant, love it! Great tension building with a minimalistic stage AND a visually impressing finale!
The mad doctor's my favourite though. :-D
So glad to see the clock go and at least we know how it ends.
The way they transfer conflict to reality is quick and noticed. Very much appreciated.
Builds slowly to nice climax. A list acting and dialog.
what a great short.
Awesome!
Outstanding video
That was brillient and followed the original a bit.
What a fantastic storyline. Very captivating and well thought out.
Great job guys !
definitely one of the best shorts on dust , well done ; im of the opinion that the majority of content on dust is rather middling , so getting a good one is rather nice =]
What a film. The start until 10 minutes is amazing. It feels real... Amazing. I need that book
Thanks Mike!! Appreciate it
Great very inventive!
Superb stuff, really liked this. You played a very good part Chris and hope to see you again. 👍
Thank you - much appreciated ❤
Always loved Hg wells but this right here is giving me twilight zone vibes and god that music composition is peek!
Bravo!
Well done and thanks 👍
I remember watching this before and it's absolutely interesting absolutely awesome
Enjoyed this one!
wonderful!
I liked it
He really was a doctor? I thought he was a patient pretending.Boy he sure fooled me! I like these characters and Tommy is cute. Interesting twist of the story.
That was a great Twilight Zone movie.
Excellent video with wonderful acting and a superb story. A video “beyond the call of duty.”
Awesome 👌
Our most destructive weaponry, was of no consequence!
But just as we were facing ignominious defeat,
three valiant warriors, rose to our defense:
the bacterium, the virus and the spirochete!
If you ever wake up in this situation, you're very lucky. It means you are finally aware of the fact that you are in a coma, and that you should try and find a way to wake up. I suspect pinching yourself just won't cut it. You'd have to find another way.
Well done!
