Hi, fellow sci-fi aficionados! I'm Robert and I directed this short film together with my friends and colleagues. First of all, I really appreciate you taking time to watch it. It means a lot. But if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. I will try to answer and share silly stories from the set. Cheers!
Ha - this was *awesome* - loved every bit of this - never ever EVER separate a person from their potatoes 🥔🥔🥔 - and if an alien crashes, just knock! 👽 very impressive - original story & sweet comedy (great actors!) - plus given limited budget very impressive special effects
The potato is a metaphor for how living a simple and straightforward life, can give you so much more than riches/gold or power. Note the smile on the lead character's face when he lifts the potato. This is a wonderful film. Thank you!
I absolutely LOVED this, it was a sheer delight to watch! Possibly the only Latvian language comedy sci-fi film ever made (but I hope there will be more!)....everything about this was superb....the script, the slow laconic pace, the setting, acting....thankyou for making this, it has really made me smile this week
The various things I've stumbled onto about Latvia in the past couple of years have taught me that you guys has a delightful sense of humor! This story is no exception. And, when our protagonist took the potato back from the Alien briefly so he could peel it first in a universal gesture of demonstrating to him/her/it? that it is best eaten that way was the best ice breaker in any first contact. And the healing properties of good food are magical; we all know that ; ). You guys nailed all the universal messaging so well in this with fun and an ease we are all needing these days as this pandemic continues to challenge us. Thank you for this so much. Now, if I can live long enough to get my tire old carcass to see you obviously gorgeous country in person . . . . . Cheers!
Seems like the man in the film is fully content with his life. The Agent told him that he could take him to a three star hotel but he is ok to stay with his modest friends. They tell him he could have had gold of potatoes he is unmoved. Lacks the greed and lust for possessions that can be derived from urban settlers.
@@yawningkitty457 great philosophy...friendships, the generosity of friends, seeing humour in our struggles, and of course potatoes. it's more than enough
I really enjoyed the singularity of Aldis' passion for potatoes -- feels a lot like a character concept that did not get overly complicated or ambitious in the telling. ^_^ Also, I love that his friends were supportive of him, and buddied up so unquestioningly. Had some Nick Frost and Simon Pegg energy there!
Haha, potato farmer slept through the whole crash-landing! That really establishes in just a few seconds what kind of man the agency had no idea they were dealing with.
I loved the potato fixation, how he would not change , those actors were superb, I loved the silence non urgency that the actor transferred, the screenplay the director good job I LOVE IT
Here's another story: My initial idea for the interior of the ship was to make it look organic, as if the alien and the ship are bonded together. We designed it, but with the tiny budget we had we could only build a very tiny ship that would be a nightmare to light and film, so we ended up covering the set with dark velvet (it doesn't reflect light) to make the interior look infinite.
Sometimes the inventiveness of a tiny budget leads to really good results. The interior really did look huge and more effective than if you'd have built a set costing hundreds of thousands.
I thought it looked awesome. To be honest I wasn't expecting it to be so nice on the inside. There was also that "it's bigger on the inside" Doctor Who moment which I really enjoyed. The low budget ended up generating a better result than any fancy set you could have built. Can you recommend some Latvian movies? Maybe comedy or sci-fi as those happen to be my favorite genres. Excellent actors too by the way, do they play in feature films?
@@BotondKisKovacs Thank you. Leons who plays Aldis is a theatre actor, but he has done a bit part in a film or two. Others don't and Uģis who plays his friend is not an actor at all. Speaking of recommendations: I can't seem to recall any local sci-fi, but a crime comedy called The Foundation Of Criminal Excellence was very popular a few years ago. I have no clue if it is available on any streaming services.
@@robertskulenko1068 Thank you for the recommendation. I will look for it. I'm always happy to find good foreign movies that aren't American. Found so many good ones from Spain, France, Korea, Japan, but it's hard to discover movies not intended for an international audience.
Haha I enjoyed this movie so much! I was ROOTing for Aldis :D Earthly potatoes gave the alien healing powers and looks like the alien's "potato" gave Aldis some super powers eh?
Thank you! I thoroughly enjoyed that! Extraordinarily brilliant sci-fi short movie - I was a former foreign student in Belarus and I know the importance of potatoes!! Apparently, so do Aliens!!
A beautiful humor, enjoyable characters, if these are not proffessional actors, they should be. I am so glad you left the original language... their voices all in character added the personality and charm. The subtitles added the final touches. I felt good feelings throughout the film beginning to end, if that makes sense. This should be shown at the Cairns International Film Festival: Tuesday May 17 2022 through Saturday May 28th 2022. You have all the elements to win.
_You got me here, thinking about 🥔 Potatoes! Potatoes? Scallop, HomeFries, Seasoned French Fries, and don’t forget about those McD Hash Browns. Any movie that can make me 🧐 “think” is good. Any 🎥 Movie that can make me sit back and “think” about the wonders of a Russet - Fantastic_
It's refreshing to see new ideas like this, I'm not sure how you got Alien's and potatoes to work but you certainly did, thanks Robert and your team for bringing this to the community 🙂👽 Well done sir 👍
Mr. Kulenko, that was fantastic! So simple yet still very engaging, humorous, dell directed, great simple production, the list goes on. Well done sir, very well done.
haha looove that heres the wormhole , and they dig a hole in a groung with worms init of course. the hint of the lady able to handle herself, and the men observing people messing around in space, leads me to beieve they are wiser and more intelligent than we think. but ive only seen up to the men digging the hole . i am so gripped , genuinely excited
This was by far one of the most original very funny short films I've ever seen!! Loved the vibe from this one!! I finished the film feeling lighter, happier, and much more carefree!!! Now if I can only incorporate that feeling into all day everyday my life will be complete... Perhaps I should start a potato farm??? Lol!!! Thanks for this Gem of a flick!! INCREDIBLE job everyone involved!!! Especially the lead actor!!!
Felt shorter than it was, simple, fun and definitely off the wall. I enjoyed it thanks :) "If you describe something as off-the-wall, you mean that it is unusual and rather strange but in an amusing or interesting way. .."
I must say, finding a film like this is a real delight. It truly seduced me into watching more. At first, I thought "this guy is a weirdo... but let me just watch to confirm then shut it off". Then he was doing the crossword "...third letter M, P-O-M-A-T-O" :-D And I was like, "this is next level!". Then, he slept through what sounded like a bomb and I was like "Yeah, it's Monday. That's how I feel too bro". Then he said "No potatoes, no evacuation" And I was hooked! In all seriousness, what I loved about this short is how a simple premise can be layered and characterised so well to make an interesting and humorous story. In fact, the Alien is really just a part of the comedy and not the object of the film. By the end of the story, this man who's only concern was reaping his potatoes, to share his joy for them with his friends, became a legend :-D
Kind of a silly ''roadside picnic'' in short. I really like this!! Optimistic, off kilter, and fun! I'm a big big fan of the Potato and will remember it's great contribution to our world(s). "The artist is a potato, French Fries are art." -Will Crow
Life without potatoes has no meaning. From the fidget spinner to the agents' blasting rock music, this video was brilliantly done! Now I want to visit Latvia! 🇱🇻
I have watched this film several times over, & each time I'm howling with laughter. The casting is perfect. Aldis facial expressions are priceless & the "Official" who is trying to stay calm is just wonderfully well played. I love that all he had to do was knock on the capsule to be given entry, yet these experts had not done this..... hahahaha, it's such a funny film, well done everyone on the film, it's beautifully made. The icing on the cake are the birds singing in the background & the dogs barking. They give it an authenticity other film lack. PLEASE make more films. I just loved this one & have shared it with everyone I know.
I love this. The story, the acting, the subdued humor. A perfect little story. Potatoes ARE important. They also do taste different even if they are the same "brand". The soil they grow in affects their taste.
Really enjoyed watching this short. The actors were superb, and the story was so positive. We need more of these kind of stories to shield us from the constant negative drivel flung at us, daily. Thank you.
Dear Robert! What a master piece! Story, actors, camera - just wow! Thank you very much and the whole crew for doing this - very valuable 20 mins of my life time for spending with this! Thank You!!!
This was created by the Monty Python's Flying Circus of Latvia, I can honestly think of no higher compliment for totally sideways humor & truly understated GENIUS !!
Absolutely brilliant! Perfect example of where we are as the human race, alien visitors, and disclosure. The irony is what Freedom means to Russian culture versus so-called American freedoms. And the truth is, all human beings want the same things dot-dot-dot the pursuit of happiness.
Oh my goodness. This has everything a girl could ever ask for in a sci-fi short. The future narrative just yanks at your sleeve and screams for you to write different scenarios. So fun! I want glowing mashed spuds for dinner! 👀
Absolutely delicious all the way around. By far the best story posted to Dust I have seen. The atmosphere, the protagonist's priorities, and the attention to detail had me laughing through the entire plot. Exceptional!!
Brilliant film. The "little" people always suffer from the actions of the townies and the city-folk. I loved this, especially his "sensible" friend and his plans, good plans. So many questions to ask. I grow my own potaotes, and they do taste better than those of a stranger. WHY is that??
Forgive my ignorance...on 2nd view ing...the boat scene demonstrates what a person has to to have a private conversation "government sees and hears all." ...and didnt notice lady beatting rug action way in background...when our hero arrives at friend couples appartment building...the sound effect drove me bananas....we dont beat our rugs like that
I loved it! The perfect amount of dry comedy, like a perfect dry martini! Also very silently hilarious spots, especially when those two were together, while one constantly spun the fidget spinner! Liked how they were both so nonchalant about the ship, but pissed about the russets! 🙃😉Top notch, all of you! Was all Truly top notch! Sincerely, big fan, no trollin!!! More please
That's one of the jokes that works better in English, because potato/tomato are so similar. In Latvian, tomato has less letters than potato - that is why he is confused when numbers don't match.

Hola Amigos! Versatile n wonderful direction
Where did you get the inspiration from? It has to be inspired from some real person's life.
Just Amazing... I love It

"Without potatoes life has no meaning" is my new motto.
But if you really want to have fun, learn how to pronounce it in Latvian way he does on this short film.
Eggplant!
One potato, given with human kindness, gets you the fabled Cosmic Cube for Christs sake!
Do you mean the Tesserac?
It's true though there'd be no vodka chips or fries!
Finally, someone who reacts the way they SHOULD to an intergalactic visitor. Chastise him for messing up your potatoes, then give him one.
Yes, sir. Nice little story..
Ha - this was *awesome* - loved every bit of this - never ever EVER separate a person from their potatoes 🥔🥔🥔 - and if an alien crashes, just knock! 👽 very impressive - original story & sweet comedy (great actors!) - plus given limited budget very impressive special effects

Peeling away the skin removes most of the vitamins. IDW people waste it like that
@@Hungryghost01 It's from the nightshade family, green skin is poisonous.
I'm with you Anna-Lisa ! It was a delightful film and I really would love to see Latvia but alas, I bet my carcass is older than yours !
@@JOHNWLOUCKS We could have a contest! The oldest pays the fare
Great comment Anna, and yes the humor and acting was so natural and perfect here.
Good to see a bit of humour in sci-fi. It’s not always angst and end of the world.
That was fun to watch and I agree potatos are way underrated
not in Ireland
Seems like the man in the film is fully content with his life. The Agent told him that he could take him to a three star hotel but he is ok to stay with his modest friends. They tell him he could have had gold of potatoes he is unmoved. Lacks the greed and lust for possessions that can be derived from urban settlers.
Something I've come to understand, is that having enough to be comfortable is enough.

Potatoes are quite wonderful and deserve our respect! The visitor in this story clearly knew this - they even had a starship shaped like a potato. :)
Even the Captain's chair was a potato. :)

Very enjoyable with a profound lesson. First contact must be anchored to tolerance and understanding instead of mistrust and fear. Brilliant!
Now for the sequel. Maybe curly fries or French fries, but no mashed potatoes. The best sci-fi on dust ever. Bravo.
the 1980 Olympics shirt on the fat guy was classic
Haha I enjoyed this movie so much! I was ROOTing for Aldis :D
Earthly potatoes gave the alien healing powers and looks like the alien's "potato" gave Aldis some super powers eh?
He was out standing in his field
When he said, you look like shit bro, I peed myself lol
Great job Robert.
Finally something humorous. Life is serious enough.
Thank you! I thoroughly enjoyed that! Extraordinarily brilliant sci-fi short movie - I was a former foreign student in Belarus and I know the importance of potatoes!!
Apparently, so do Aliens!!
And, for Aldis kindness, the alien gave him a precious gift. Loved it!
What was the gift? I couldn’t figure it out,,,
@@jackturner7814 The gift of telekinesis
"Cosmic doofus...." Priceless
I know😂😂
So many priceless lines in this, delivered so perfectly too.
Wow!! This short was awesome!!! Its fun and different from all alien movies
Aldis here on Earth: MY POTATOES!!!
Matt Damon on Mars: MY POTATOES!!!
😂🤣
Nice
Clearly, potatoes are our key to unlocking the secrets of the universe.
Well done mate - and I love both Sci Fi and Potato's too. Australia.
I loved the detail of that woman's gaze in the photo above the bed :)
What a great face the potato farmer has! made for this comedy tale. Really enjoyed it. great casting and acting.
The picture of the wife looking down....
So much of the world's comedy comes from just that little bit. Bravo.
The way he slept right through a nearby meteor strike reminds me of myself lol.
There's nothing remotely as good as this on Netflix, guys like you deserve Hollywood budgets!

Latvia looks like a pleasant place in the Summer. This was delightful.
Definitely one of the top three I've seen from DUST!
Entertaining and beautifully presented with a humorous edge. I can't wait to see how that crop of potatoes turns out!
I am not as learned as everyone's comment before me but,... Dang it the was GOLD!! Love d that it was not in my language [english].
Very good....This one would rank in my top 15 of the Best Online Shorts of all time...It is in fine company....
Loved it. My wife is Latvian and I am studying the language. Subtitles and comfortable pace makes it great for study too.

I like how the aliens built a spacecraft just like the potatoe.
That's why they chose his potatoe field to crash land
Тот случай, когда спецэффекты дополняют качественный сценарий, а не подменяют его отсутствие.

I think that part of what makes this film so charming is the unique Latvian sense of humour.
This should be a series. Great work!
mūsējie malači!!
Es godīgi sakot esmu ļoti parsteigts par šo.
I cannot describe how much I loved this film. It was so well done. The friendship, the dark humor... everything.
I love this. The story, the acting, the subdued humor. A perfect little story.
Potatoes ARE important. They also do taste different even if they are the same "brand". The soil they grow in affects their taste.
Government tried & tried to open the ship. Potato farmer knocked & he's let right in! Without potatoes life has no meaning. LOVED it!
🤣🤣
I have a feeling that species of alien relies on potato power for everything! Hence why his silver potato crashed in a potato field! Loved this!
Really enjoyed watching this short. The actors were superb, and the story was so positive. We need more of these kind of stories to shield us from the constant negative drivel flung at us, daily. Thank you.

Luv'd every thing about this movie wish it was a little longer but it's a short.💓🦂💓
This is so well done, like they wrote up a nonsense script, and all these actors executed it so well

filmed with a potato (superb Latvian 8K Laura, Beta edition) Great job, guys, really enjoyed it :)
Excellent and relatable. Kudos.

Kudus to the writers and/or translators for the "pomato" gag, that was really subtle and character related
