what a professional movie. Mind you, it made a change seeing a male "falling over a branch" or "hurting part of their body" and "handing over their mobile, etc, its normally the females who are portrayed like this in movies. great ending
When she said "I bring all my boyfriends out here" should have been a major red flag and warning sign to this guy. I'd be like ya this is fucked I'm outta here and walked my ass out of the woods and went home. Why are people so stupid in horror movies?
One of the best I've seen recently. The setting, the isolation, and the "creature comforts"... And one of my favorite things is, you gave a great payoff ... for just a second, I got optimistic that the boyfriend had something up his sleeve. Great Job !!
Wow. This was an awesome film. Runa was a total freak! I knew her ass wasn't coming back, but i didn't expect that ending! Great work guys!! 👏 I totally enjoyed it.
Its commendable that someone of Beasley's caliber is willing to donate their time to independent projects like this. I love his commitment to helping smaller film-makers hone their skills! His influence shines through in so many scenes. If you're familiar enough with his work, you could probably go frame by frame and identify which compositions have his unmistakable style. He's certainly come quite a way since his days with the BHS:WW. Bravo, the both of you! Congratulations to Nolan on the completion of your passion project, and to Mr. Beasley, I hope you continue to help shape the next generation of filmmakers!
This had an excellent creepy atmosphere, and that old caravan was perfect. I presume she took her boyfriends into the woods to - well, what exactly? This wasn’t made clear. Also, if he could walk that well (even run, after a fashion) then why did he stay behind in the forest? And, finally - why was it called Sticks?
Ooh, excellent work to all involved in making this little gem. 👏 I want to mention the many parts that I enjoyed, but I don't want to spoil it for folks who read the comments first. Just watch and enjoy!
yes, leaving him with no communication real warning sign. That would not be me - my idea of roughing it is a buffet instead of a sit down dinner. Thoreau I'm not.
What does he actually carry in the back pack? I would think, since he's going hiking, he would take least some equipment, like a flashlight, some matches, flares, first aid kit, water, granola bars, A1 sauce, lol, whatever. Jeez, ya can't trust anyone. 😦
Never go into the woods with a woman , who behaves in a nonchalant way? Always carry a handgun. You never know who or what you might run into? Oh well, too late for dude!!!
The little bundle of sticks he stepped on and the thing made of sticks hanging from a tree he brushed by reminds me an awful lot of those witchcraft stick figures you saw in The Blair Witch Project.
Pretty danged cool ! A few have mentioned your camerawork: excellent use of all sorts of shots & angles...very professional, artful...really helped build the suspense. Toss in some top notch acting and an alluring script - winner winner !
Top notch acting? Wtf are you talking about lol. The acting by both characters was so ridiculously bad. It literally sounded like they were just reading off a script. I mean, in the opening scene the girl legit sounds like she forgot her full line, and they just left it in like that 😂
Very nice job! I knew he was toast once the phones shutdown! Very nice production and scary as hell! It ashame all these new high budget films come out and totally suck, all CGI and special effects. This was disturbing as hell, totally creeped me out, and I totally loved it! What scary movies used to be!
Somebody told me that those poleroid cameras are making a comeback . Loved this film the acting was good both actors did a very good job plus i liked the location i like rhe woods myself its always good to do some exploring thanks to the cast and crew for putting this together
Runa why!!! Just why! Very good, liked how it wasn't too drawn out (held the tension well!), the actors did great. The contrast between day and night made me think of how beautiful and even comforting the forest can be... until the sun goes down. Then you start hearing all those sounds. Poor Mark.
Interesting! It needed more story to boost it. But I liked the twist. ***spoilers ahead for others*** The name Runa meaning 'secret lore' & 'moon' was telling. So was her taking his cell phone at the start...why would she do that other than to be sinister? She had her own phone The photo collection was so eerie.....a trophy collection of their victims! Eeeek! Is the sticker 'The Duch Hut'? an inside joke too? The DUTCH Hut is a famous restaurant & these ghouls/demons sure seem hungry. :)
Vraiment pas mal contrairement à la douzaine que j'ai vu avant ! C'est même étrange que celui si n'a pas gagné haut la main alors que ceux qui ont gagné était vraiment pas terrible.....à moins qu'il ne juge que sur les FX ....mais pour l'histoire vous gagnez facilement pour moi
Sorry. Got to nit pick. Why are millennials such wimps? I've tripped over crooked sidewalk walking faster than that and not only did I not hurt myself significantly, but I didn't even fall! I'm 52! And certainly not in top shape.
This is the shorter (better) version of "Deadly Still"... Edit: Didn't he wonder how his phone was in the cabin ringing? He really played that "dumb girl" part 😂
Boy oh boy where do I even begin. Beasley… honey, my pookie bear. I have loved you ever since I first laid eyes on you. The way you drive into the film and strike fear into your enemies eyes. Your silky smooth touch around the lens, and that gorgeous wide shot . I would do anything for you. I wish it were possible to freeze time so I would never have to watch you retire. You had a rough childhood, but you never gave up hope. You are even amazing off the screen, you're a great husband and father, sometimes I even call you dad. I forvever dread and weep, thinking of the day you will one day retire. I would sacrifice my own life it were the only thing that could put a smile on your beautiful face. You have given me so much joy, and heartbreak over the years. I remember when you first left Minnesota and its like my heart got broken into a million pieces. But a tear still fell from my right eye when I watched you win your first award, because deep down, my glorious king deserved it. I just wanted you to return home. Then allas, you did, my sweet baby boy came home and I rejoiced. 2022 was a hard year for us baby, but in 2023 you made history happen. You came back from 3-1 and I couldn't believe it. I was crying, bawling even, and I heard my glorious king exclaim these words, "MOORHEAD, THIS IS FOR YOU!" Not only have you changed the game of cinema and the world forever, but you've eternally changed my world. And now you're getting older, but still the goat, my goat. I love you pookie bear, my glorious king, Beasley. 🥰❤️🫶🏽
@taracollins5597 no, he asks her b4 ge or she checks for a signal. He knew he had his phone. Why ask her to call? Neither tried yet si he should pull put his and try first.
As soon as she said she ‘brought all her “boyfriends” out there, that woulda been a red flag’ not even jus the fact she brought them all there, but the fact she never referred to them as ex’s. Everyone I’ve ever known when talkin about past relationships calls that bf an ex, not gf in the present text.
Don't get it, but like it.i guess she brings guys here to be killed? But why not just take him to the camper instead of the trip and assuming he will find camper??
No gun, right? Clear up your spoken lines and focus pull. Good day-for-night. Nice beats. Even in the dark, you have to light the eyes. 19 spoken "fucks" without a romance scene, come on. The ending was unresolved.
This feels like a direct rip off of Blair Witch. From the voice calling him through the dark woods to finding the trailer in the woods instead of the creepy house. Kind of a let down.
It's also a pretty standard overused story... I read a comic a while back about a guy who hires a detective to investigate disappearances of others....Spoiler, he gets ate.
@TheCodacat Not even that, his tone is weak, too. And of course she is masculine. Movies today alway make the woman have a crappy attitude with all the logic and answers, and men are weak and stupid.
Lack of motive or reason for decisions. He happened to fall and hurt his leg creating the situation where he decides to lay down like hes almost dead instead of limping with her to get signal. Stupid stories
Really well made great work!!!
I’m assuming that it could have been Grandma in the caravan. 😂
what a professional movie. Mind you, it made a change seeing a male "falling over a branch" or "hurting part of their body" and "handing over their mobile, etc, its normally the females who are portrayed like this in movies. great ending
That was really well done. Nice, creepy ending.
A kiss on the forehead is never a good sign.
Ikr I was gonna say that haha kiss of doom
cool! i knew once she left him to 'find cell reception' he was a goner!!
Nice horror!!!
This was fantastic! Great story and suspense!
When she said "I bring all my boyfriends out here" should have been a major red flag and warning sign to this guy. I'd be like ya this is fucked I'm outta here and walked my ass out of the woods and went home. Why are people so stupid in horror movies?
I bet he's from Seattle
The night scene,that immense darkness around,that creepy feeling, the vibes..all in point...awesome
I loved it
Awesome scary.. great one to watch
One of the best I've seen recently. The setting, the isolation, and the "creature comforts"... And one of my favorite things is, you gave a great payoff ... for just a second, I got optimistic that the boyfriend had something up his sleeve.
Great Job !!
Wow. This was an awesome film. Runa was a total freak! I knew her ass wasn't coming back, but i didn't expect that ending! Great work guys!! 👏 I totally enjoyed it.
i felt the exact way when she left him there!
This was a great watch! I kept seeing it pop up in suggested and I'm glad I clicked. Fantastic work! Everything was mixed and filmed well.
Fantastic short film! These guys are going places 💵 can’t wait to see what they make next
We got something cooking up don't worry 👨🍳🔥
This was super dope yo!!
That’s was crazy
excellent! absolutely loved it. hope he at least had some good snacks while he was waiting...
I don't think the "city boy" as she called him even had lifesavers (no pun intended).
He actually ate 2 and a half boxes of nutty bars filming that scene
@@ishifilms LOL I would have wanted more variety
This is so good Noah!!!

Ok, that was definitely good!

And, finally - why was it called Sticks?
It's out in the middle of nowhere... The sticks
Good film. The transition from day to night was great. Also camera angles were very good. Ending was unexpected.
Good one.
Like a lot, but at the end, thought it was the introduction to a very interesting and weird film. Looking forward to it 🙂
So many nice call backs that didn’t seem forced (the fear of bears/stick break, the “I bring all my bfs here”).
Ooh, excellent work to all involved in making this little gem. 👏 I want to mention the many parts that I enjoyed, but I don't want to spoil it for folks who read the comments first. Just watch and enjoy!
You’re awesome. Thanks.
Poor good young man 😨😱 I understood that this girl is bad, when she took his phone and went away with it
Yep
yes, leaving him with no communication real warning sign. That would not be me - my idea of roughing it is a buffet instead of a sit down dinner. Thoreau I'm not.
Could you imagine!? Talk about being totally helpless!!
@@Queen.AnneBoleyn That's is why there are somethings you could not pay me to do.
@@JessicaMcGowan-bu4ls
Amen to that! 😉
Awesome!! Really enjoyed the story line!

Reminding that .. don’t leave your friend alone
sick ! made it good !
This one SPOOKED me two my core!
It's hard to get scared when the acting is this bad lol.
1:37 Love the filming locale! I do wish you could put closed-captioning/subtitles though, the audio is tough to hear. Now, back to the film....
this is so relatable
The little bundle of sticks he stepped on and the thing made of sticks hanging from a tree he brushed by reminds me an awful lot of those witchcraft stick figures you saw in The Blair Witch Project.
Two on the road..kali
Pretty danged cool !

This… this is the atmosphere I crave in horror
Bruh momento 😥 great film
Very nice job!
I knew he was toast once the phones shutdown!
Very nice production and scary as hell!
It ashame all these new high budget films come out and totally suck, all CGI and special effects.

Funny about the poleroid now - in so many trivia quizzes.
When everything went silent....I felt that creepy vibe!
People have told stories of that exact thing happening out in the woods.
no
City people and their stories LOL
Runa why!!! Just why!
Very good, liked how it wasn't too drawn out (held the tension well!), the actors did great. The contrast between day and night made me think of how beautiful and even comforting the forest can be... until the sun goes down. Then you start hearing all those sounds. Poor Mark.
Shot and written very well. The camera movement and audio layering was fantastic, I feel like the dialogue could be more clear or boosted though.
How can I audition to be a part of your short films? Please if you see this lmk I am an actor in Chicago I will travel

فليم مخيف مرعب وحوش الغابة الأرواح شريرة طرد الأشباح الشياطين الجن والعفاريت و الأشباح الشياطين
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Wish we'd gotten a better look at the creature and what Runa looked like after her transformation. Nevertheless, a great short!
Yikes! 😲
Just look at his hair-style you know this is a fool!
Movies in the woods never end well . . .
Genuinely creepy. Poor guy!
Well over 80k views so well deserved hopefully by 2024 the views have reached 1 million views by now
Vraiment pas mal contrairement à la douzaine que j'ai vu avant ! C'est même étrange que celui si n'a pas gagné haut la main alors que ceux qui ont gagné était vraiment pas terrible.....à moins qu'il ne juge que sur les FX ....mais pour l'histoire vous gagnez facilement pour moi
She feeds her boyfriends to the demon.....love it. Time for a new boyfriend...
Yikes . . . he didn't stand a chance! Plus, it feels like she set him up.
Sorry. Got to nit pick. Why are millennials such wimps? I've tripped over crooked sidewalk walking faster than that and not only did I not hurt myself significantly, but I didn't even fall! I'm 52! And certainly not in top shape.

😐
All darkness....😢
Red flags from the beginning !
#₺wigs
Would have never leave me by myself in the woods.
I'll bet "Runa" has more hair in one armpit than both of mine put together!
They even put a rainbow on her camera strap, because everything has to be gay and re. tard. did.
I think she may have considered not giving him up to be eaten if he didn't show how useless he was falling so badly on the simplest of hikes.
"can you call someone?" with his cell phone in his pocket.
Near the start you mean? There was no signal.
@taracollins5597 no, he asks her b4 ge or she checks for a signal. He knew he had his phone. Why ask her to call? Neither tried yet si he should pull put his and try first.
Bad writing

Everyone I’ve ever known when talkin about past relationships calls that bf an ex, not gf in the present text.
what is on her nose?
How injured I was,I'd still get out the woods
He was running....it's just bad writing
I hike a few times a week and randomly tripped over crap like this guy did. I'm walking along and it's like someone shot my legs out from under me. 😂
Hated the ending poor Bastard 😂
Video goes blank after 4.6 minutes why ?
youtube
From the moment she said what's the big deal I've brought plenty of guys here before i knew he was dead meat.
What you mean after you put on a horror. How astute
they always split up
Song used???
"After You've Gone" by Ruth Etting 1927
We shifted the pitch and added reverb to it to distort the sound
So this guys just sitting here like an oversized portion from the Farmers Dog?
Don't get it, but like it.i guess she brings guys here to be killed? But why not just take him to the camper instead of the trip and assuming he will find camper??
what in the Blair witch project I just watch
No gun, right? Clear up your spoken lines and focus pull. Good day-for-night. Nice beats. Even in the dark, you have to light the eyes. 19 spoken "fucks" without a romance scene, come on. The ending was unresolved.
So the "sticks" were really bones of her ex's then?
Dam
dumb, can't believe I waited for THAT! I want my 13 min. back
This feels like a direct rip off of Blair Witch. From the voice calling him through the dark woods to finding the trailer in the woods instead of the creepy house. Kind of a let down.
It's also a pretty standard overused story... I read a comic a while back about a guy who hires a detective to investigate disappearances of others....Spoiler, he gets ate.
Субтитры бы
Sem pé nem cabeça.
It must have been a award for participation!
Needs a back story to sum it all up
This is deliverance without the degenerates.
😅😅😅😅😮😮😮 He's too wimpy I don't like wimpy man😅
You can't do much with a bad ankle
@TheCodacat Not even that, his tone is weak, too. And of course she is masculine. Movies today alway make the woman have a crappy attitude with all the logic and answers, and men are weak and stupid.
@@TheCodacat He ran for long distances, why was he even sitting there? Terrible Woke writing.
Sticks? ... PLEASE , rub 2 of them together fast & make a fire , so we can see something besides pitch dark.
Lack of motive or reason for decisions. He happened to fall and hurt his leg creating the situation where he decides to lay down like hes almost dead instead of limping with her to get signal. Stupid stories
Too dark. Can't see anything.
They went there without fone without light and without any weapon for security
They made her unlikable from jump, this seems like incel bait.
To damn dark!!
Too dark
None sense Film
