The cinematography is great. The SKIN TONES are rich and textured. But your sound design is the secret sauce here. Keeping those alley voice just loud enough to hear, but behind all the diegetic sound from the laundry room.... incredible work.
sound design is great
sound design is great but i kinda struggled with understanding the dialogues, so im not sure if it was the best approach
@@samuelsanabria4969 🙄
indeed
coolest marlboro commercial ever
lmao
Was just bouta say that
this is the kind of stories that short films were meant for
Moment with "100 рублей" killed me... Poetic cinema!
Ряльно xD
Я тоже охерел от неожиданности :)
but why the rubles😂
Low production, or just short films in general, can often feel really amateur or have a script that aims to high. This was really fucking cool.
I love how this film isn’t trying to do too much. It documents a little coincidence and leaves us wanting more. Simple but effective characterization by showing and not telling. Seriously good stuff.
The perfect scenic vibe. Perfect shots, angles, lighting, and sound. The beauty of the 16mm. Love the novice criminal who meets a professional one, only to be outmaneuvered. So much artistry in this film!
This felt like some early Tarantino! So tight, the tension, the shot choices. Perfectly understanding these two characters with zero dialogue. Amazing work.
Guy lowkey looks like Mr Orange as well
i think Tarantino popped into your head because of 1:38
WHATTTTTTT No dialogue, subtle character, THIS WAS AWESOME !!
BRO, MADE A FRIGGIN MASTERPIECE AND THOUGHT WE WOULDN'T NOTICE
Please stop with the BRO phrases, they are so May 2024.
There’s something about that short. You just watch it because you want to know. It’s an eye and attention magnet.
❤
Outstanding work.
I love how you wrote it to suit the medium. No dialogue, no crystal sync needed, all sound design, and incredibly executed. That's before getting to the STUNNING lighting and shot choices. Well-done you!
The intro reminds me of when Mr. Pink is being chased by police in Reservoir Dogs. You guys did a great job.
One of my favorite movies. That scene was definitely a big inspiration.
This is amazing, the cinematography, the warmth of the colour tones, the crisp sound design and music, all of it fantastic. The story as well, the two pickpockets meeting together in the same hiding spot, masterful, so funny.
Works with the sound off. If you're a real director -- and by this, you sure seem to be -- you know that's a big deal. Congrats. One director to another.
Also -- this is a pretty low-key smart idea for a short that I haven't seen before. I feel like Preston Sturges would've dug the premise.
I enjoyed this with the sound off :)
The musical score and sound design when they are in the basement is unbelievably good.
Please, man, more films like this, more 16mm film! It's so tasty, every frame is beautiful, love it so much. Thank you!
LOVED the sound design. Just loud enough to hear but not distracting from the visuals
nothing beats the look of 16mm. "filmmakers" today shooting "films" on video....ugh. Great job on this!
God.... the original cinematography is so beautiful 😭
lost for words. the 16MM FILM, the beautiful sr3, the composition, the acting, the perfect plot and film length for a short film. well done, hope you all get recognized for the hundreds of hours put into the craft
The first song is called Anchin Kfu Ayinkash and the second song is called Sintayehu both by Hailu Mergia and the Dahlak Band for those curious - th-cam.com/video/Z0D5NnUFfC4/w-d-xo.html
Not even lying, this is probably one of the best short films on TH-cam. A lot of short films on TH-cam feel like clones of one of other like all the horror short films here on TH-cam. But your film, it just feels fresh you know. Great film keep it up!
DON'T TELL JUST SHOW, NOW THAT'S CINEMA, amazing work guys
What a great look! Great directing! Bravo!
This is an actual masterpiece, bro, can't believe how much was said without a single word!!
The sound design is on a divine level...
Loved the short! The aesthetic, the simplicity, the perfectly wrapped slice of a story. Really exceptional work! Can't wait to see more!
Everything is on the spot, cinematography, quick and crisp sound. A small snippet of 2 dippers meeting at a spot exchanging glances. Elegant . Reminds me of reservoir dogs. Kudus to the whole cast and crew !
Don’t lose something you need for something you want, that’s the lesson i got here.
Very stylish, tight storytelling, with no dialogue. Seriously impressive stuff
Finally more short films on 16mm! Great film.
As a Marlboro Red smoker, this is exactly what I feel like when I pull out that classic red pack
Dude, one of the best short films I've seen. This nailed EVERYTHING (the visuals, audio, music, story), and its even all packed into less than four minutes. Excited to see more bro
The visuals, typography, colours, editing are really really great, love it. Doing the reveal with no dialogue and just through visuals and the police intercoms is genius. But the sound design is what sells the whole thing. It's perfect. Big kudos.
SO GOOOOOOOOOD. THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS. LOOKING FORWARD TO MORE.
Make a second half to this about two criminals who go from petty pick pocketing to a bigger plot.
The cinematography and the music this short film is classic 🤌
DUDE! This film is flipping AWESOME! Just watched twice. And the fact it was so short yet so good - wow, just wow!
This was great! Best short film I've seen in a long time! Lighting, coloring, everything felt top notch.
added to my inspo playlist. It takes loads of skill to make something like this. Loved it!
love this! the rhythm of the edit is spot-on
Outstanding acting meets phenomenal cinematography 🎥
yeah this is art, art needs no languages or explanations!
Holy shit dude, this is the kind of cinematography I’m tryna get to. This reminds me of some smaller budget films from the 90s that are still memorable. Keep this up!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes! Nicely done. Love the feeling and emotions it gives me. Had the main characters spoken one single word, the illusion would be ruined. Thanks! :D
the sound . the color . the music. the timing !!! amazing
It's impressive making films with only wide lens like that.
I rarely comment. But wow. I am so inspired. Thank you for this, honestly! Very clever directing and cuts.

colour grading and cinematography at its peak
WOW, so simple yet sooo effective!
This seemed like a Tarantino movie! Loved it

One of the best short films I've watched in a long time. Put a huge smile on my face :)
I love how the entire time the two criminals don't even talk.
Incredible work Alex Welldone!
Cinematography ✅, Sound design✅, and the treat in the last scene ✅✅✅
Man that authentic halation though. Nothing quite like the real thing.
The visual quality of this looks like some big movies. I love the lack of dialogue and just visually telling a short story. Also loved that slide transition in the streets with the sound effect 00:32
Dude this is so good please keep it coming, perfect short film chef’s kiss man
Extremely well executed in every way! Great film!
definition of a SHORT FILM
Everything about this was flawless! We need a whole movie out of this. aha
godness love the color grading so much
No talk just act and expressions. i love film like this
this such a work of art I love the story telling how the protagonist didn't speak but smooth and clear their interaction was between each other!!
This is how all movies should look. Real film!
One of the best short film i ever watched.
Production quality is on fire, loved it!!
Wow very beautiful! The facial expressions are captivating!
