Great , yet heartbreaking film !!!!
I truly wish this we're available for people to use today !!!!!
Everyone wishes for that '" one last moment " ' ,,, and this would give them that ,,,, to help refresh those memories that left the greatest impressions !!!
My girlfriend would complain to me how anyone could be happy to wake up in the morning. Sometimes I thought that she had a death wish. She was like her dad a heavy drinker.
This was, without doubt, the best short film I have ever seen!
I currently subscribe to 3 different short film channels and do not watch regular television so I've seen quite a few.
Excellent work all around on this one! You all knocked it out of the park!
@@bradmonson265 Such kind words! Thank you!
Thank you for this.
Dammit!!!! I’m a 62 year old man. I shouldn’t be crying like this. I’m gonna go hold my wife of 42 years…
Your comment made my day 💜
Aww bless - thank you for sharing - congrats on 42 years together ❤😘
Hold her close and tell her how much she means to you. My husband died verrry suddenly, 18 years ago , August 12th. I didn’t get to say goodbye. Neither did our little ones. God be with you two ♥️
@Rhea I did just what you suggested. We were high school sweethearts and both of us fear losing the other suddenly.
@@SMaamri78 Ahhh, so were we 🥰
Loved it. This film was like a haiku. No part of it could have been removed. Written, performed, shot and cut perfectly.
That's super twisted in the beginning, mind-bending kind of a thing, but it fits so perfect in the end, Amazing short story, love it!! Big Thanks DUST...
This was one of the best shorts I"ve seen recently. 8 minutes and a whole story, beginning-middle-end, unfolded. No fade to black without a resolution as most of these are. And the story was engaging and the actors were believable.
Like the short of the girl who went to see her brother and fell in love with his friend. That was awesome. One of the best shorts that invoked feeling and loss. Especially when the girl played the guitar and looked in her eyes. She kept rewinding that section over n over.
@@carljhirst which one was that?
@@magnusbein4218 It is called
"Amanda_Test 1"
Awesome story.
Let me know if you liked it, please.
Took me a while to find it lol
Absolutely devastating. I was way more invested in these characters than I ever expected to be. Nice job making me cry.
Ah, if only this tech were real... how awesome it would have been to say goodbye...
Indeed.
Oh yes! Agreed
Unbelievable! Packing that much emotion into 8.5 minutes! If this doesn't grab you, you are dead.
I'm not dead . I just ran out of tears back when my first wife was taken from me . 6/23/2003 . We were just kids in our 20's . I didn't get a chance to say goodbye . The last words we spoke to each other where , I love you , just a couple hours beforehand .
Well executed fragmented storyline, the editing was great, plus a bonus of not having a standard sappy Hollywood ending.
It's the pollen in the air making my eyes water... What a poignant video with a strong message to make the best of the time we have. Well done!
An awesome short, honestly the best I've seen on DUST in some time. My only minor complaint is that after turning the volume all the way up to hear the film, particularly the whispering towards the end (which was actually well captured and not a flaw with the film), then to suddenly get SUBSCRIBE TO DUST blaring out of my speakers and rattling the windows is kind of annoying.
Bawling my eyes out. Not the best thing to watch at the start of your day, but all in all, very well done. Bawling!
try watching it before bed...
It’s okay to love someone so deeply that it hurts. That means you’re truly alive.
I would have sold my soul to have been able to have a chance like this to say goodbye when my first wife was taken . It's been 18 years in just a few days . I love you and I miss you !
When your breath catches, you've touched someone's heart. Nicely done folks.
Wow, what a powerful and amazing film! Reminiscent of the Black Mirror episode San Junipero in Season 3. This film was so touching and moved me to tears. Brilliantly made, beautifully done. Thank you for sharing this masterpiece.
I loved San Junipero. I saw it 20 times already.
Aw man. Crying on a Thursday morning.
I was expecting something like Eternal Sunshine, this was much better! 😢❤️

Thanks, Grammy!!!
Fabulous wow wow wow wow
A real way to say goodbye. To not leave anything unsaid. Painful, but running through your memories together, and having that last goodbye.... perfection.
I can't believe I'm thanking you for leaving me in tears... But this is so beautiful.
Thank you, from my broken heart...
That made me change my thoughts that technology is bad in the long run. Now I'm torn. Saying goodbye in the long run vs the short terms in technology. Great short film.
The automobile is technology. The simple plow is technology and was, at one time, revolutionary. The problem isn't technology. It is the misuse of technology.
Ok, I'm curious. How can anyone genuienly think technology is bad?
Especially someone writing that comment on the internet!?!
Well that blew me away. Don’t watch when your husband is away and you miss him. Got this country girl crying.
That was powerful. Powerfully emotional. Thank you.
Oh really well done - amazing what can be done in less than 10 minutes - a interesting intriguing story, with real characters and an conclusion - yet something that as a whole makes you think and invites contemplation and discussion... well done, thank you
Much love from the Castmate teenage filmmakers
This film story is almost the opposite to my experience where I have had to watch my wife deteriorate both mentally and physically from Huntington's Disease over the last 20 years so far. I still care for her at home because I know she is still lucid at times trapped inside a body that doesn't function. She hasn't been able to talk at all for 5 years and even a hand or finger raise of acknowledgement is very difficult lately. I can barely remember her voice but one thing is still the same. Her belly laugh is the sweetest sound and it's the strongest evidence of her still being there. Unfortunately we don't have this technology, all we have is photos, videos, mementos and our memories.
How would you want to lead your life if you knew you might not have the opportunity to say good-bye?
These are just to crazy, I love the while story it gives in such a short time... its never a miss. Writers are amazing
Love from Nepal
Plz make some movie related to quantum energy used by Tibetan monks plzplzplplz
Excellent... Awesome job!
Loved it 💖
Congrats to everyone involved in this. I loved it. This is Netflix worthy material guys, it was so well done that I could've easily mistaken it for a Black Mirror episode. Keep going 💜
Unreal, this was just amazing... if Jamin wasn't involved, someone who is a huge fan of his, was.
This was really good. I know this tech is coming. We will one day be able to connect directly. What an experience that will be. This was a tale well imagined and well told.
This one was brilliant. So emotional and both actors worked so well together. Fantastic job!
Oh wow I was not expecting that. Absolutely wonderful, beautifully done.
Wonderful episode!
Man! This just fist punched me, right in the ❤️! What a great job the director did, and the actor's were brilliant also! It was all brought together elegantly.. ☺️😭 wonderful job done all around!
I really really enjoyed this one very good 👍 👏 👌 😊
Exceptional short story and lovely how it’s portrayed. Thank you.
Did Jamin Winans have something to do with the music, eerily familiar.
Dust there you go again making me cry this was very powerful and mind opening remember to live like its your last let yourself love and be loved thank you dust
Love it
That's me 28 years ago, saying "let me go". Hard to think on.
Now that’s thought provoking…well done guys 👍🏼😊
REALLY well done!
You just made me cry, an Amazing story. Wish I am in a position to give u an award for this.
Man this is deep
Wow!!!!! This is heartbreaking, but beautiful, would love to see more!
It's like I'm on drugs
Now, THIS is a movie.
This is SICK!
its pieces like this I wish were full length.
It took under a minute to be obvious its Amazing.
God. If I had a chance like this with you would I have taken it?
Damn Right I would have!! I regret everyday I didn't get to properly say goodbye to you...
Perhaps in the next life you'll tell me all about it? Oh my love. I'll always miss you and I hope and pray that you're resting in peace somewhere far away that's more beautiful than words can describe and every single moment is that pure bliss we always chased in life..
Until I see your gorgeous face again my love.....RIP Jennifer Lynn Reed 12/30/1980 - 07/31/2017
I’m moved. Really extraordinary. I’ve worked through four years of Dust productions, with only a few having pulled me in this way. I’ll have to take time to really absorb where this took me, but I’m confident it will be a place of strength. How fantastic it would be to have such technology to use correctly. Since we don’t, I’ll look at my wife, really listen, let her know everything is alright. Now, while I’m here with her. Thank you. Great work. The production, the actors, the set, job very well done!
I am disappointed in DUST films more often than not. Flashy low-budget CGI, bad acting, and worse writing. But this? This film is excellent.
I got Dust in my eyes. Wonderful short film.
How are these "soon-to-be classics" DUST episodes not on network TV and cable channels every week?!
@nbc @abc @cbs @HBO @showtime
idk why but the woman with curly hair reminds me of Sigourney weaver lol. film was amazing and will definitely watch again. the director has skill!
Try not to cry. Cry a lot 😭😭😭😭😭
Oh Wow. Left speechless! How sad.
WOW!! This went from scary to absolutely heartbreaking. I was in tears at the end. I've got to say, brilliant!
Thank you, that was lovely! Shed real tears.💋💨
what an incredibly emotional movie...wow...but it really rips at you...so effing sad... but well done again Dust...you brought me right into your universe AGAIN! Thank you
Wow that was amazing. 😥😃
This short has it all, even a completed story, which many short films haven't. Acting was great as well. Thanks!
Beautifully done.
It is amazing that with a limited budget and time Dust contributors can make better films than 99% of full length movies.
Relying on plot development and dialogue makes a better end result.
Big budget does not equal good result.
This is very hard to watch for someone who has had a very close call. I can say it is VARY accurate! Seeing the sunrise and my family again brought me to tears! And you realize what really matters!
Excellent! intriguing but with a solid resolution. No blanks in the story or concept.
Talk about ripping your heart out. This was brutal. Very good short.
This was the best one I’ve seen so far!!! Man I love this channel so glad I found it !!!
Havent cried in a LONG time. THANK YOU to all involved.
One of the better ones I have watched
Wow!! This tugged at my heartstrings!!
That was awesome
Dunno, the pollen count is kinda high here at work today or something...
Is it just me or did anyone else remembered the movie "eternal sunshine of the spotless mind"?
I wish it was longer please... This is pure black mirror vibes
I got some huge "eternal sunshine" vibes in the middle, but it went somewhere totally different. really one of the best so far.
This one was a "black mirror" episode. A good one, to be specific.
Thank you for the look into a lovely story about grief.
Beautiful.
I wish this was real. It would have been nice to say goodbye to my wife.
That was amazingly well-done! Kudos to the writer and editor on this one. I always try to guess the endings on these but couldn't. That is a win in my book! Really loved it!
Brilliant. You don't need million dollar special effects to make an awesome short. Got my eyes watery.
Clean execution, beautiful message, DUST is awesome!!
i thoroughly enjoyed this.
it's videos like this that cause me to keep coming back to check out Dust.
this was really great. when they cried, i choked up.
Cried at the end... saying goodbye like this is not easy !
Wow!
Well that was heartbreaking. Great job.
Powerful. Thank you.
OMG that was so good!!!! Life is so short and to be able to spend another hour with the one you love would be so nice!!! Brought tears to my eyes.
Diiiiirectly in the feels. You nailed it, guys. I loved this.
Beautiful ❤️
this hits hard, holy hell
That was so good...so much in so little time. .. thank you. That's the kind of stuff I love Dust for. Confusing at first. Hitting strings I didn't know I have later. Really appreciated.
Damn this one was so good! Pure Genius!!!
Certified Gold!!!!!
when I tell you boy I got emotional.
Well done; difficult to make that fragmented style work, but here it does.
