After a bad day at work, David (Andre Hall - Tyler Perry's LOVE THY NEIGHBOR TV series) literally runs into Hannah (Marion Kerr - DARK SKIES / HEART OF NOW), a beautiful and strange young woman. For their first date, David nervously tries to create the perfect evening but Hannah's odd yet charming behavior turns dinner into a disaster.

At last! A decent sci fi film that is positive, fun and uplifting. Well done folks ☺️
This was the goal! Thanks so much!
@@accountfake1070 What book did you steal that from?
exactly, I kept expecting her to turn into a lizard and have him for lunch
I have to agree. I miss stories like this.
@@accountfake1070 Please take your negatively elsewhere, thank you.
this is the sweetest alien movie I've ever seen. Just happy, happy, happy. No bad vibes here
Sorry I can only give it one "like". That was beautiful, touching and extremely well done!
Thanks so much!
I thought exactly the same!
The rest of us will add the likes ❤
Dust is so full of apocalyptic stuff. It was good to see something like this.
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching our film!
Ironically the most realistic alien invasion film so far.
This is what a successful first wave manned mission, to an alien planet should look like.
Wow. That was awesome. I’m a 62 year old dude..it brought me to tears.
Thanks so much! That means a lot!
Best/funniest line was about her reaction to her first beer--"It can't possibly supposed to taste that way!"
So heart warming! While the "Boy meets alien girl" trope might be considered old territory to some in sci fi, this film is so well done that the characters' innocence, awkwardness and willingness to keep at it (do overs) really drew me into their world. The actors who portrayed "David" and "Hanna" have such a chemistry with each other. Their performances really made this story work. And kudos to the writer! The story just seemed to work so very well.
Thanks so much for watching! As the director my greatest gift was the fact that the actress playing Hannah, Marion Kerr, was also the writer. So I had a real partner in front of the camera keeping things on track
So emotionally and romanticly uplifting. I loved her aquardness and smile.
Thanks so much James
No disrespect at all, but it is spelled awkward, not aquard. Also: I agree!
@@johngacina1820 Thanks for the correct spelling and candor.
This was such a simple yet sweet little human-meets-alien short. I like the idea that each one got to experience one thing on Earth.
Now, THEY WILL NOT ENSLAVE US! Hopefully.
Depends on the aliens. Thanks so much for watching our film!
Just turn us into poodles and we'll be happy.
@@bjb7587 I want to be a cat.
@@bjb7587 I wanna be a short-haired, Russian Blue cat
Cheesy, schlocky, old fashioned. I loved every minute of it!!
Thanks for feeling our film! ☺️
Ms. Kerr is one hell of an actor. Congrats on a fine job.
And she wrote the script and the lyrics to end credit song!
I don't think I've ever commented on a DUST movie. But this was excellent. Touched me enough to bring tears to my eyes. Kudos to all involved. Such a great, heart-warming little movie.
Thanks so much.
My team and I have always been proud of it
Agreed.
So well written and acted. Well done to all involved.
Thanks so much! The script was written by leading lady Marion Kerr, so she deserves a lot of the credit
@@FilmCrewe Marion played her character to the tee, she was perfect for this role. Bravo 👏.
@@tmacmi9095 Thanks! She delivered a great script and have a performance to match! ☺️
@@FilmCrewe The pace was the key, not an easy write I am sure. Steady pace and balance to the story. The acting, excellent of course. The piece became greater than its parts, if that makes sense. If not, its because its 04.15 here! Rod Serling would be proud.
@@Martin1911A1 High praise! As the director and editor I love all compliments related to the pace ☺️
Lovely. Very effective. Those two had great chemistry! Good job! Sequel, please.
Thanks so much for watching our film!
Now do stories for each one.
Is this a tour or an investigation?
@@jamesdriscoll_tmp1515 ohhhh, great idea!
@@jamesdriscoll_tmp1515 I do have scripts for the girl with the balloon and the woman with the guitar 🤔
@@FilmCrewe you probably don’t but if you need another director for any of them, I’d be honored to help😬 But you got this!
That was BRILLIANT! Just so well done with a great story
Thank you so much! We had a blast making it!
After watching just a few minutes of this film, I stopped it, went back to the beginning, asked my wife to come and watch it with me (she has never seen a Dust movie), and we both loved it! Thank you for creating such great films!
Love it. Thanks to both of you for watching our film!
Wowie, this was the most wonderful, lovely, nice, pretty, good etc, etc Dust movie I ever saw, and I've seen them all, THANK YOU VERY MUCH! This is what a heart desires!
Thanks so much for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed!
easily could have been a feature-length film of the romantic comedy type, great stuff
Thank you so much!
Totally agree. They don't make scifi romcoms anymore and this brought back some great memories of those. More, please.
I think, and this means no disrespect to everyone involved in it, that this film was the *perfect* length. A rom-com would have needed "padding" whereas this was... just brilliant. Not too long, not too short, and definitely made my eyes moisten at the end. ❤❤
@@mooniejohnson oh don't get me wrong if this was a sci-fi rom-com it would need a lot more to the script and if it ended up as padding then it wouldn't have done so well but this was also a very good opportunity to build a really good story from this base and could have been great, but this is just based off of what we have seen and sci-fi rom-com used to be a pretty big part of the market back in the '80-'90s and made me think of such films as Splash, Weird science, and Earth Girls Are Easy and so many more, none of them award-winning movies but still classic in their own right is all
@@johnflynn6140 they made the feature-length file in 1988. It was called:
"My Stepmother Is an Alien"
Very similar plot. Even down to the "magic bag".
Such a powerful, positive, uplifting film. At almost 64, with a slew of relationships behind me from being a nomad, this still brought tears to my eyes and memories of my 1 true love and mid-life "course correction" who was also "Far" and sweet, but had to stay "home" though shared more than 1 date, about 1000 nights... She forever redirected my life and will always be in my heart.
The song "Don't you Wanna Know" by Sara Melson (I HAD to look it up) after the "do over" was pop perfection. It should be in the credits. Well done!
Thanks so much Bill! It means so much that our film touched you.
The song is actually in the credits but they’ve been drastically speed up here. If you, or anyone, would like to see the full end credit sequence head over to my you tube channel and watch the copy of FAR I have posted there.
Thanks so much for watching our film!
@@FilmCrewe Thanks for the tip. I guess I really misworded it, I meant the description below the video. I will definitely check out your channel as well. Class act.
Thanks Bill! Glad you found Sara's song. Hope you enjoy our other films
WOOOOW ... never ever had scifi end me in tears .. so beautiful!!! wow ... the people who created this work, i can only say that their work will touch a lot of people's hearts and minds, very deeply... I was blown away by how beautiful the emotions are represented, how pure .... great acting, fantastic performances ... djeezes, i had this "is she an alien" right from the first moments in the restaurant, but yeah she was and she chose to experience of of the most beautiful things in existence; love .... a first kiss .... i'm still pulling my tears away as i'm writing this, so deep it touched me ...
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed our work!
True!
@@FilmCrewe Yes we do, please make a series from this topic, it can change the world in a way, in a good way!
@@ladylindemanmogot9992 That would be amazing. We’ll see what the film gods have in store
I really do hope if these are college kids, That they get hired soon from Hollywood . Right now all Netflix has is a girl on a date non-binary identifying as a UFO.
This is the sweetest film to appear on this channel since The Universe of Scotch and Häagen-Dazs.
I can't add much to already posted praise for this lovely, touching and funny piece. Marion Kerr wrote a brilliant script and the performance of both leads were extraordinary. As a jaded old guy this one got me right in the feels. I'll remember this one for a long time!
-dave
Marion Kerr is such a wonderful actress. Very nicely done and just before Valentine day to boot.
She is indeed! Thanks for watching our film!
Don't know her earlier jobs, but I'll thumb that up. They were both very good.
@@Aurinkohirvi Thanks! Yeah, we got real lucky with the cast
This was a really great little film. As the late Roger Ebert would say... "I laughed, I cried, it became a part of me". Well done!
High praise! Thanks for watching our film!
First DUST film that left me with tears... !!🤗
Love from India..💙
Many thanks from the filmmakers in LA!
Wow! I'm glad I'm not the only one who got a little teary at the end. That was a great story! I like it a lot. Hannah has kind of ruined David in that he'll always compare other women to the magic and innocence of Hannah. But, it's Sci-Fi, so it's cool. It was a very good story I enjoyed watching it!!
Cute movie. Good acting and the photography is excellent. This kinda reminded me of that 80's sci-fi comedy My Step-Mother is an Alien.
Glad you enjoyed our film! It’s purse that does it.
@@FilmCrewe and the watching old black&white comedy films. And a lot of other stuff.
How come you chose not to have her stay, or for him to go with her?
@@Albtraum_TDDC We honestly never set out to tell the story of two people who stay together. It’s more about the impact these two had on each other and how they will view their very unique existences after this shared time
Must admit I was close to tears at times. My wife died at 36 years old, and I was never able to be a happy, smiling person again. I miss her every day, and I do, now, wish I had been able to move on. Great movie, I felt glad for him. And I loved the saucer.
Very sorry to hear this Dave. It's never too late to smile again!
So sorry for your loss Dave. I’m glad you enjoyed our film!
Thank you for not ending it with him texting back “She was out of this world”
😂 you’re welcome! I assure you it was never even discussed as an option
But it was SO appropriate!
I loved this!!! Wonderful twist on the "Visiting Alien" story. Very well done! I really enjoyed this. At the end where his friend texted, asking how the date went, I was waiting for him to whisper while looking up, "It was out of this world". maybe that would've been a little corny.
Thanks so much. Yeah, we wanted to leave a little of his reaction up to the audience to decide
This is quite possibly one of the best DUST shorts I have ever seen, and certainly one the most adorable. Great stuff!
I've had dates like this, but never saw the actual cause. It explains a LOT. 😂
Surprisingly they didn’t take him along, he would of melded in nicely to his new family. Watched the whole lot thank you.
That was a cute story I liked it, somehow I almost got some happy tears.
This is my favorite I think out of all that I have seen. Thanks for the deep smile!
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
This charming little masterpiece has a wonderful, old-timey feel! The writing and acting were superb.
A gem. The performances were great.
Simply 110% Brilliant!! Great story, terrific script, great direction... and carried off to perfection by two very likable actors. Congratulations to all involved. 10/10
Speaking as the director, thanks so much John! ☺️
So well cast. Loved both the main characters and overall, a great film. Could easily watch much more of this.
Thanks so much Sam!
Bravo! So rewarding to see a great story involving scifi and human feelings. Thank You for this.
You are most welcome! Thanks for watching!
All of you on this film who brought this to be only one word "Outstanding!"
Ok, that was soooooo sweet 🥺🥺. A well made, feel good Si-Fi. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾🇬🇧💙
Great story! Showed up front so that we all knew where she was from. But kept us watching to see where it was going. It went to a really well written and acted out date to an emotional ending.
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching our film!
Wonderful acting by two main actors! Great story and lovely work!
"My Stepmother is an Alien" comes to mind.
Absolutely brilliant. Thank-you so very much for the experience!
A funny, amazing, and heartbreaking film.
Thanks so much!
'Lisa finds her Leo'. Their innocence was charming enough. A wonderous script, heart warming direction. Love from India.
Innocent, genuine, spontaneous--these weren't just actors in a movie they were real people. How enjoyable to see this performance. Gives me hope that an alien race will take a chance on us and bring us back to be what we can be. Yes, this is my first Dust review comment ever.
That's so much like life. We come here, we live, we make choices and then we all go back home. So little time here on earth we have. It all goes by so quickly. So refreshing and yet so very surreal. Great film....Do over.
I didn't know Marion Kerr is playing in movies :) I like it very much !
Here I am minding my own business, having a Friday cocktail, falling in love with young love, and in a flash, she is gone. But my tears were for them both. For just that moment, he was gifted everything he could want and she was allowed to experience something completely foreign to her. I have to tell you, spitting out the beer was classic! "Do over." Too much. Sweet, compelling, not hackneyed, excellent.
Thanks so much Alan. Glad you enjoyed our film
I'm glad I'm not the only one that teared up at the end. What a wonderful, beautiful and uplifting story. Well done.
Thanks so much for watching!
Very sweet movie, I really enjoyed it. I worked out that she was a alien with the chairs, but I wanted him to work it out and still continue. I was both glad and sad he couldn't go with her, glad because it would of been the common Hollywood trope, sad because they were so very sweet together. I liked the beeping at the end, it gave you just that little hope that she stayed, lol.
I have been a SyFy person all my life. This was AWESOME love is what it is. It's just love in action, no boundaries everywhere, and anytime
A beautiful twist narrative on a close encounter ... and yes such a wonderful interpretation ... I LOVE THIS!!!
Yay! Thanks so much for watching our film!
love love loved this one...thanks to all that participated in it's creation. And thank you Dust...keep them coming! Appreciate you....
And we appreciate you watching our short film. Thank you
I don't usually comment on the films shown here, but this one has prompted me to put finger to keyboard. I have been following the channel for a few years and appreciate the range of productions offered up. Not keen on horror, intrigued by dystopian visions, and confused by some (usually those that leave you having to make your own ending). There are a few nuggets that leave me feeling totally satisfied with a story with a conclusion. This has been the most uplifting and fun video that I have seen since the "1-minute time machine". Bravo to all concerned.
So nice not to have dystopian apocalypse! Refreshing! Cute!
This made me feel nostalgic. It was in late y2k when I experienced my 1st love. How I was so young and so innocent. Great job everyone.
Brilliant! Maybe when his friend asked on phone how it went, he could've said "out of this world" 😁
A happy story without monters, dystopic worlds and girls holding zap-guns, AT LAST !!!!
Glad you found us! Thanks for watching
A nice heartwarming story. Like Splash with a twist. Nicely done.
Mixed with, My Step Mother is an Alien
Great references! Glad you both enjoyed our film!
@@FilmCrewe it was super cute
Congratulations, all who were involved in the production of this short film. I started smiling at the beer thing and didn't stop, in fact can't stop smiling even though it's over. Such an uplifting message that cannot be ignored. Thanks for making my day even brighter.
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed our film
do over - that was great.
alternate ending - so she says, your place alone or my place with me
and he leaves with her on the spaceship.
This was an amazing video. I am a huge fan of the Dust channel and this video did not disappoint. The synergy between the lead actors was outstanding and although you knew she was extraterrestrial, you were wanting her to be human as well so they could become a couple. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed our film!
I was kinda hoping he got to go with her as the new Earth Representative
Bravo! Congrats to all involved! Marion Kerr is an absolute pleasure...she nailed this perfectly. Great little refreshingly upbeat sci-fi short. fantastic work, all!
IF ANYTHING NEEDS A SEQUEL , THIS IS THE ONE.
Wonderfull. Kept us guessing the whole way through (me & my grandkids). Thank you for this on a chilly Sunday morning.
A sweet sci-fi with no doom, gloom, and is uplifting.
Wow. That was so wonderful. Reduced a grown man of 50 to tears. Thank you.
With the minor exception of his overly-acted reaction to the ship above him at the end, this was perfectly executed.
I really enjoyed this!
Kinda reminiscent of Starman.... bittersweet like en Jeff Bridges and Karen Allen kissed each other goodbye in the crater at the end, albeit lighter and far less dramatic here. One of my favorite movies of all time, btw so perhaps I'm biased.
Great job yall!
I agree that this could have easily been adapted into a full-length feature film. It's along the lines of 'Splash." Fun, campy and beautifully presented without any unnecessary EFX or over-done theatrics. Well done!
Thanks so much!
I liked this film, it was fun and uncomplicated and both actors were convincing in their roles. One thing I'd like to say, though, is what an attractive lady the actress who played Hannah was: She had a smile that makes you want to smile along with her and two wonderfully expressive eyes, so gorgeous (It's nice to watch a film that gives you time to appreciate the actors involved instead of breaking it up into digestible garbage bracketed by explosions and screeching tires)...nicely done, thank you.
Well that was by no means a boring date. Off the charts.
At least he can say his date was OUT OF THIS WORLD - and mean it.
Great story line. Would like to see more of these two.
Thanks for watching our film! You can see more of our team’s work on my you tube page
Theat got me at the end when she corrected him and said "I chose you".
This was one of the most
endearing and positive
short videos I've ever seen.
The actress who
played Hannah?
Her smile was enough
to melt an iceberg
or your heart! 💜
Thoroughly enjoyable and
safe to show children.
+Richard+ ✝️
Marion Kerr - as per the end credits, and Video Description info as well as the writer of it. 20:55 if you skipped over it
Always great videos. A very beautiful story
Thanks so much!
I am adored this short film, the actors, the story and all the work that was put into this deserves the highest recognition. Great film!
Thanks you ☺️
The best DUST movie ever! What a date!
Thanks! Glad we could drop in at the top of your list!
How would you feel if you met the perfect woman on your first date and she flew off to another planet before your eyes, I would think I took too many psychedelics last night :x
I love this movie! Please more!
Very sweet story. Beautifully acted.
Very nice story, acting, photography! - Very sweet!
Thanks so much Philip!
The 80's flying saucer was a nice touch :)
She chose romance as her human experience. Bravo!
What a nice way to kick off the weekend!
Thanks for watching our film!
I love sci-fi, and this is very good, but so much different than what I'm used to watching.
A brilliant story line. Very well thought out. Wishing the night would not end. The characters were well played putting emotions all the way to the end. Was hoping in a way that they would have taken him with them. Thanks DUST.
Thanks for watching our film!
Yes, I also was hoping this. But it's done giving the right mood.. he will never forget. Very well done on Story and acting and Screening. Thx 2 all who done this.
Thanks @@BabbelHannes! We told our story in the film. What happens next belongs to your imagination 😊
I know I'm starting to sound like a broken record at this point, but man, the quality this channel keeps putting out. Thought provoking and just pulls you right in again and again. And this was no different; such a sweet and fun little tale! I especially love how on the one hand you tell about interstellar aliens and first contact, but at the same time somehow manages to capture so much about the awkwardness of dating. And, you even get a wonderful message in there - be honest when a date doesn't seem to be going well, but don't be cruel about it, and it's okay to start over.
A very nice 'I Dream of Jeannie-The Early Years' vibe.
Absolutely Fabulus! They were both outstanding! She was a breath of fresh air. Loved It!
Thanks so much Jeff!
Great lead up films to upcoming Valentine's day , as well as the last Dust presentation of Throwback Thursday's "TRAVELOOPER".
ps: Marion Kerr reminds me of Sigourney Weaver a bit.
Interesting comparison! Thanks so much for watching our film!
"how did it go?" Out of this world!
One of the most beautiful Short movies ever
Thank you! ☺️
This was such an enjoyable short film. I loved it! So uplifting and engaging. Well done!
Thank you! ☺️
What a great movie. Hanna. What a beautiful smile.❤️🌹
That was beautiful. The woman was phenomenal in that part. She could be realistically, incredibly awkward, and then also beautiful. The male actor was very good too. He just needed the director to tell him to tone it down a little when the spaceship disappeared, but it is amazing that he has those chops that he can pull so much out of his bag. Outstanding.
