Hey friends! I'm Daniel, the composer on this film. I've worked with Bryian a whole lot. We met in college and he's one of my best friends, so these days I'm kind of obligated to work on his films. 😄 All that considered... I'm ALWAYS afraid of reading one of his new scripts because I just know it's gonna be divisive or offensive for a portion of the population. Even then, GGWAG is not a film I can immediately share with my future kids. I mean I just wanna work on a straight-forward sci-fi drama, Bryian. Can't we do that at some point?? As with many of his films, I had a huge amount of doubt with this story's early drafts. His projects cover sensitive topics like police violence, gun laws, mental illness, etc.... So the goal is always to make sure we highlight the right aspects of certain issues. And bias is ALWAYS going to be a factor-especially early on-so it's important for us to continuously check ourselves through the whole process. And even then, we're totally imperfect. When reading over his early drafts, I personally try to figure out what's too alienating to folks on both sides of an issue. Sometimes I (or maybe friends of mine who are on the opposite side of an issue) don't agree with the ideas he's written, so those moments can be nice checkpoints for balancing each of our biases a little. Ultimately, if we exaggerate things on both sides of an issue, then perhaps there might be some mutual understanding. The role of music for this project was to make sure offensive visuals became "artsy" or "fantastic" by taking things way over the top. As an example, the music at 3:56 represents his twisted view of romance. He takes advantage of a drunk person and truly believes it was a mutually romantic situation. We wanted all the music in this to stick to his POV so that we could feel what he personally felt. We wanted to show how or why our main character might feel the way he does, even if he does do things we'd consider wrong. Thanks to ALTER for having us, and a big ol' thanks to you for taking the time to watch our film!!
I noticed the music throughout and thought it was incredibly fitting. The film itself was amazing, and the music was the cherry on top, for sure. It definitely contributed to the overall feeling. Well done!
@@WatchALTER it's really weird however that a villain in this movie is depicted as an America-loving conservative, certain memes are used to amplify the message and the protagonist almost looks like a supporter of a specific person that many people hate, with the red hat and all...

@@A_real_Ha_So - The one being glorified was the shooter. He was in the papers and his crush was used to portray the general public opinion of him. But in the short, the reality is he went to the store to seek revenge. He wasn’t a casual bystander with a gun, but a man on a mission. He didn’t stop the robbery because it was the right thing. The point of my original comment wasn’t political because both sides use guns. It’s the idea that not all “good guy with a gun” scenarios are that cut and dry. They aren’t all good and when we praise or even glorify those people, it encourages others to take up that mentality in toxic ways. Ex: The guy got his ideas to be a vigilante from a vigilante cop show on tv. In that show, the main character takes justice into his own hands, gets the glory, and gets the girl.

"Most states won't allow a rapid fire adjustment." Actually, that's the federal Government and the Weapons ban from the 80's. It is not legal in any state unless you own a Class III Federal Firearms license. "Got a moonshine buddy that can do some 3d printing." Well. I don't know why he has to get a guy all the way in Arkansas to 3d print an auto-sear. Hell, you can make an auto-sear with the hook of a clothes hanger. I mean, don't do that. It's a felony. It shouldn't be a felony because of the 2A, but it is. So don't make an auto-sear. So, the lower receiver. This is the only part that the ATF considers a "gun." If it's ordered online, it MUST ship to a Class 3 federal firearms license holder. It cannot ship to your home. That is a felony in all 50 states. No retailer would risk it, no Class III FFL holder would risk it either. The license is expensive and they make more money doing legal business. "Why shouldn't I register it?" The guy makes a good point about the DACA list. But a more succinct argument is "Fuck you, it isn't anyone business what the fuck I own. Especially the government." As for the mass shootings, somewhat correct. The actual number is "close to zero." As the requirements for a "mass shooting" changed so the number could be larger, they started including things like "a gunshot in the vicinity of 3 or more people." Nobody has to even get shot. And most mass shootings are gang related with handguns. Further, something like 70 percent of gun deaths are suicide. We have a suicide problem, not a gun problem. The gun shop guy is a pretty good actor, I liked him. But he's not going to talk about some highly illegal "15 years in federal prison" kind of shit to a random kid that walks into his store. No gun shop owner would, really. They make too much money through legal business. Hell, look at the buying frenzy right now. 9mm ammo used to be 17 cents a round. It's over 75 cents a round now. I should have invested in 9mm ammo instead of gold! If you need some consulting on a future project involving guns, message me. I could have made that scene a lot more realistic. But I thought it was well written as kind of a parody. The gun shop owner made me laugh, I like that guy.

True a bump stock doesn't increase firing rate to that of a true automatic - but it does increase it far beyond what one can manage with an unmodified semiautomatic. And since it can empty a magazine without moving your trigger finger after the first pull, the distinction is just one of degree. In other words, an AR-15 with a bump stock makes a crappy automatic, but still an "automatic", in practice.
In _his_ mind, like that of all narcissists and budding sociopaths, he has plenty of reasons, as they look for offence and will frequently find it, where none was intended. Paranoia is a facet of their condition. Bottom line, they're crazy as bedbugs.
Yeah right, that "queen" got so drunk that she slept with a guy she wouldn't have slept with when sober, and then told her brother that they guy raped her, so she wouldn't have to deal with the regret caused by her own promiscuity. You could see it in her face that she felt bad for the guy while her brother was beating him up, but not bad enough to actually tell the truth, because that would mean she'd have to admit to her own guilt, and add a new one on top of that, and why would she? Btw, I'm not saying the guy is innocent. he's an asshole who took advantage of her drunkard behaviour, but she's definitely not a "queen" either.
@@prettyhatemachine8887 she wasn't promiscuous. You can't sleep with someone under the influence of drugs or alcohol, seeing as it inhibits the ability to consent. So you're blaming her for going to a bar and grtting drunk, nice to know we have a man in the chat
A very disturbing tale. The fact that there are people (and not just guys) that are that dangerous moving freely thru society is pure horror in itself! Good movie.
I don't think that's necessarily the point,it shows how the idle mind can go fxckin bat shii crazy really fast and it shows his process of the descent into madness,he wasn't technically a terrible dude but he ended up going of the deep end at some point .and he got trigger happy while having bad mental health,resulting in the crazy shii at the end
The great thing about Alter is their support of films like this that are so deeply unsettling but rooted in honesty. Well done to the filmmaker. It's tough to take a concept where we all know (at a high level) where we are heading and to still keep the viewer enthralled -- which I 100% was.
Man, I have watched a lot of y’all’s shorts, and I can’t believe the talent all around. Not to mention the fact I can skip all the BS filler plot, and quickly get down to the nitty gritty. Unbelievably bad ass guys
This wasn’t just horror. It was horrifying. Every little part of it. Gave me huge “It comes at night” vibes. Very well done. This mini movie took me through more ups and downs than some feature films. Bravo
Just so everyone knows, this is not even close to how guns are sold or purchased in the U.S. No gun store owner would ever just give someone an AR. There are extensive federal background checks just to buy ammo...
I'm from cali. I lived in Texas in the army about 10 years ago. An 18 year old got an AK47 at a pawn shop in 20 Minutes. Also gun show loopholes should be abolished. Cars are insured, seat belts are federal law... let's all grow the hell up
@@generalconsensus2518 0 proof online of an 18 year old buying an AK in texas illegally in 20 minutes from a pawn shop. Also, the gun show loophole has already been debunked by multiple credible undercover sources. Even at the same gun convention that Obama referenced years ago as a problem(it's not). The only people buying and selling weapons illegally are criminals and you know this. Growing up also requires learning facts. The army does not make you an expert in illegal gun sales. Thank you for your service though.
@@o-rang9137 You said extensive federal background checks. Here in the normal part of the USA all we have to show is our state ID. You must live in the wasteland of New York, Illinois, or New Jersey to name a few. Which is a sad state of affairs and not exactly your fault but to just say its required without giving the limited area it sounds like you are implying it is the whole USA. Maybe you didn"t know it was still like this out of your area, IDK.
Holy s dude, my only critic is the length between cuts in some parts. But some of the editing that got into the flow was f ing amazing. I’m going to show this to so many people. I don’t know how this hasn’t gotten more views.
The way you demonstrated every single facet of the way in which the personalities of these people meet the societies in which they are molded, The precision with which your actor and film work display the exact nature of the dementia within them, The accurate depiction of the villainy that permeates his decrepit soul- 10/10. The rape scene, chills. The way the character’s fragile mental state slowly coaxed him like a chess piece into his final violent moment. Brilliance.
I loved the liquor store scene. I was thinking that he was going to get to be the hero and suddenly turn but then he still did what he did to the cashier. Very fun film.
My husband and I had to pause, replay, and slow down much of this very much American film. We went into an hour long conversation about historical events relative to this magnificent piece of work. God, guns, and racism(black on black crime, fearmongering of black men, innocence of white women, rape of black women, killings in the name of "God", insecurities deriving from overly sexualization and exploitation of sex, and the "big guns" acting a neutralizer). The American dream! You nailed it!
Don Cristiano or because of COPPA (?) or the video creator because later on when I tried to edit it it was removed and when I tried to retype it it was gonna again
Yeah, too bad we can't have these types of films without people being so dumb as to think this is reality (look at the comments if you dont believe me) to think that this is why we need more gun control.
Buying a gun in California without an FBI background check and a long wait is impossible. Plus, trust me, a concealable 9mm is a lot scarier than a big ass semi auto AR.
I can’t describe how incredible this short is, I don’t care about the political message it may or may not send to others it’s just great. I got a real sense of fight club mixed with taxi driver. The way the character was showed pretending to gun down these people who wronged him in his past was brilliant, it is exactly how i imagine how a troubled person could become mass shooter. It was intense graphic and shocking and I applaud it. Absolutely perfect film with great writing an amazing character, as well as stunning sets, locations, effects and cinematography. Bravo!!!!
I was a lifelong heroin addict. One day I was riding my bike to work and stumbled accross a house fire. There was someone trapped inside the building. I broke down the door and saved his life. The news paper called me a hero, but all I could think was “this is my ticket out of hell”. 😏

In _his_ mind, like that of all narcissists and budding sociopaths, he has plenty of reasons, as they look for offence and will frequently find it, where none was intended.
Paranoia is a facet of their condition.
Bottom line, they're crazy as bedbugs.
“Hey there beautiful, what’s your name?”
“Drunk”
What a queen
Yeah right, that "queen" got so drunk that she slept with a guy she wouldn't have slept with when sober, and then told her brother that they guy raped her, so she wouldn't have to deal with the regret caused by her own promiscuity. You could see it in her face that she felt bad for the guy while her brother was beating him up, but not bad enough to actually tell the truth, because that would mean she'd have to admit to her own guilt, and add a new one on top of that, and why would she?
Btw, I'm not saying the guy is innocent. he's an asshole who took advantage of her drunkard behaviour, but she's definitely not a "queen" either.
@@prettyhatemachine8887 she wasn't promiscuous. You can't sleep with someone under the influence of drugs or alcohol, seeing as it inhibits the ability to consent. So you're blaming her for going to a bar and grtting drunk, nice to know we have a man in the chat
@@asuspiciouslyefficientmito8338 he said she is not a "queen" nothing more
@@A_real_Ha_So you sound like a feminist stereotype
@@prettyhatemachine8887 You can't consent if you're under the influence. Therefore, that was rape.
This film reminds me of my father.
and that's a scary reality.
amazing work
A very disturbing tale. The fact that there are people (and not just guys) that are that dangerous moving freely thru society is pure horror in itself! Good movie.
It's either everybody free with the odd nut job, or everyone enslaved/imprisoned with the odd nut job, who may just become the tyrant.
@@FHBStudio I agree with you!
@@FHBStudio very true, the world will never be perfect & trying to make it that way can end in losing everyone's freedom
Except it's not because it's legit just a propaganda piece.
I don't think that's necessarily the point,it shows how the idle mind can go fxckin bat shii crazy really fast and it shows his process of the descent into madness,he wasn't technically a terrible dude but he ended up going of the deep end at some point .and he got trigger happy while having bad mental health,resulting in the crazy shii at the end
A Good movie without ghosts and demons.
The great thing about Alter is their support of films like this that are so deeply unsettling but rooted in honesty. Well done to the filmmaker. It's tough to take a concept where we all know (at a high level) where we are heading and to still keep the viewer enthralled -- which I 100% was.
No gun seller would take “I’m sick of people fucking with me” as answer lol
Man, I have watched a lot of y’all’s shorts, and I can’t believe the talent all around. Not to mention the fact I can skip all the BS filler plot, and quickly get down to the nitty gritty. Unbelievably bad ass guys
When he got pissed on 👏🏼
A reminder of the evil in all of us...
So a nice guy.. very uncomfortable and scary.. a lot to think about, so very well done! Thank You! ❤️
The incel breaking the fourth wall is unnerving, he's like a more messed up version of deadpool
You really rock this scary short films REAL GOOD, ALTER! 🧛♀️🖤💀🎸🤘
ARE YOU FREAKEN KIDDING ME!!? WHY DID MY MOM HAD TO WALK ON BEHIND ON THIS PART!!!? 3:08
😭i swear i'm watching a short horror film!
The music during the bathroom beating was beautiful. Sounded like John William's Leia theme.
Thank you so much!! Williams was definitely the inspiration for this scene, so I appreciate that you noticed!
@@DanielCiurlizza and I see from the credits that you yourself composed it. Hats off to you, sir. Fantastic talent.
@ Arigato, my tri(+?)lingual amigo!! Realmente lo aprecio mucho, Rafy!
I love how people that no absolutely zero about guns make these movies. It's not fair to scare people by giving them un realistic views of guns.
I don't know how this is unrealistic.
@@britanitress9089 the way he bought that AR for start...
@@britanitress9089 you are joking right? If not your a pathetic sheep
I'm sure that the comments will be perfectly polite and reasonable.
hahaha
Of course! 😅
you win best comment XD
They have been
This wasn’t just horror. It was horrifying. Every little part of it. Gave me huge “It comes at night” vibes. Very well done. This mini movie took me through more ups and downs than some feature films. Bravo
So....i need a gun now....um okayy
Just so everyone knows, this is not even close to how guns are sold or purchased in the U.S. No gun store owner would ever just give someone an AR. There are extensive federal background checks just to buy ammo...
I'm from cali. I lived in Texas in the army about 10 years ago. An 18 year old got an AK47 at a pawn shop in 20 Minutes. Also gun show loopholes should be abolished. Cars are insured, seat belts are federal law... let's all grow the hell up
@@generalconsensus2518 0 proof online of an 18 year old buying an AK in texas illegally in 20 minutes from a pawn shop. Also, the gun show loophole has already been debunked by multiple credible undercover sources. Even at the same gun convention that Obama referenced years ago as a problem(it's not). The only people buying and selling weapons illegally are criminals and you know this. Growing up also requires learning facts. The army does not make you an expert in illegal gun sales. Thank you for your service though.
there are no checks to buy ammo.... what are you smoking
@@georgemccune2923 you 100% need to show your F.I.D or I.D to purchase any ammunition. To assume otherwise you are just being clueless.
@@o-rang9137 You said extensive federal background checks. Here in the normal part of the USA all we have to show is our state ID. You must live in the wasteland of New York, Illinois, or New Jersey to name a few. Which is a sad state of affairs and not exactly your fault but to just say its required without giving the limited area it sounds like you are implying it is the whole USA. Maybe you didn"t know it was still like this out of your area, IDK.
I'm the last person to tell people how to end a movie but I think the perfect ending would have been for the girl to pull a gun out and take him out
Holy s dude, my only critic is the length between cuts in some parts. But some of the editing that got into the flow was f ing amazing.
I’m going to show this to so many people.
I don’t know how this hasn’t gotten more views.
This is why you can't only live for lust in this world.
this truly terrifying and a new take on horror I love this and the physiological aspect of it! Keep up the amazing work!!!!!
Will this be made longer ...... it needs to be
The way you demonstrated every single facet of the way in which the personalities of these people meet the societies in which they are molded,
The precision with which your actor and film work display the exact nature of the dementia within them,
The accurate depiction of the villainy that permeates his decrepit soul- 10/10. The rape scene, chills. The way the character’s fragile mental state slowly coaxed him like a chess piece into his final violent moment. Brilliance.
Oh.. my god this is.. a masterpiece
We agree! We can't wait to see what Bryian does next.
Agreed!!
No. Just no. You've never seen greatness if you're wowed by such obvious pandering propaganda.
@@itzybitzyspyder why do you have to shit on something I and alot of other people liked?
@@yeetusboi1044 Because it's unfair propaganda. You would shit on something that portrayed your group as monsters would you not?
This guy take craz to a new level
I loved the liquor store scene. I was thinking that he was going to get to be the hero and suddenly turn but then he still did what he did to the cashier. Very fun film.
Because of exactly that kind of movies I love your TH-cam Channel so much!!!
I almost felt bad for the incel ngl
Extremely well done
Super film just loved it♥️
And most horrifying too... 🤫
My husband and I had to pause, replay, and slow down much of this very much American film. We went into an hour long conversation about historical events relative to this magnificent piece of work. God, guns, and racism(black on black crime, fearmongering of black men, innocence of white women, rape of black women, killings in the name of "God", insecurities deriving from overly sexualization and exploitation of sex, and the "big guns" acting a neutralizer). The American dream! You nailed it!
I'm betting you're too slow for most things.
This really nailed nothing
I lost my shit when I seen red dot placement on the quad rail 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.
5:07 When someone steals your date’s heart and they leave you and you decide to go after the person your ex is dating
My previous comment was apparently erased....because of the b😉😉BS?
Don Cristiano or because of COPPA (?) or the video creator because later on when I tried to edit it it was removed and when I tried to retype it it was gonna again
Don Cristiano how is your comment still there?
Can't find it anymore.....☹️
Don Cristiano and before the video was age restricted I posted that comment just for the record
Right around the gun commercial and the gun store you realize that this isn't a horror, it's a comedy. A bad comedy but a comedy.
The fact that this happens in irl is the scariest part
Found this 3 years later thanks to yheti and honey bee! This is so good!!! I had no idea I was into short films. Better than feature films.
Best ALTER film i have watched
This should be a movie
god the music in this is so good
Political propaganda or subliminal messages aside the cinematography on this is superb
Yeah, too bad we can't have these types of films without people being so dumb as to think this is reality (look at the comments if you dont believe me) to think that this is why we need more gun control.
I rarely comment but holy smokes that was disturbing. Good Job!
If this comments section gets any saltier I'm going to start thinking it's the Dead Sea
What a short film it was.looks like one of the any Hollywood movie scene.appreciated✌🏻
Haha Indian, just like me.
@@gautamkelkar2132 yess bro,indian by heart and maharashtrian by culture ❤
@@akshaysawant7987 omg same.
Buying a gun in California without an FBI background check and a long wait is impossible. Plus, trust me, a concealable 9mm is a lot scarier than a big ass semi auto AR.
I feel Tarantino vibes! It was really intense.
I can’t describe how incredible this short is, I don’t care about the political message it may or may not send to others it’s just great. I got a real sense of fight club mixed with taxi driver. The way the character was showed pretending to gun down these people who wronged him in his past was brilliant, it is exactly how i imagine how a troubled person could become mass shooter. It was intense graphic and shocking and I applaud it. Absolutely perfect film with great writing an amazing character, as well as stunning sets, locations, effects and cinematography. Bravo!!!!
I gotta tell my self "It's just acting. it's just acting" this feels too real
I didn't know Gus Johnson was in this.
This is so disturbing, I love it. Hahahaha
Probably one of the most underrated short movies ever
Scariest movies of all are the ones that could and have happened.
Women are an unpredictable species , aren't they ?
WTF?? This is propaganda..I know it’s a movie and facts don’t matter but this is sooo wrong in so many ways
That's reality LMAO 🤷🏽♀️
Ye gads. A disturbing and uncomfortable movie. People hurting people.
I was a lifelong heroin addict. One day I was riding my bike to work and stumbled accross a house fire.
There was someone trapped inside the building.
I broke down the door and saved his life.
The news paper called me a hero, but all I could think was “this is my ticket out of hell”. 😏
Just for the record, not all good guys with a gun are like that! Damn good acting by all parties by the way!
Another smash hit.👍👍
It was mind-blowing. Literally.
i fear im slowly going down this path thats the scary part.
Yes officer this comment right there
@@generalrotholz977 lol
You a cop
wow this video is wild, i liked it, job well done.
Great messaging!! Captivating drama. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
9:10 red flag right there.
I was wondering what you meant and then I got to that part, you're 100% correct. They would never sell him a gun, they'd go to jail. But ya know, this is fiction... 👀
@@KraziAnnRKissed seems unluckily real too me...
It is a red flag but yet they still get guns...
@@spicybeantofu It's either liberty for all and having a few nut jobs or tyranny for all and still having a few nut jobs, with the potential for those nut jobs to become the tyrants.
When CoryxKenshin reacted to ALTER i loved it at first sight XD 👌It's so accurate
I got introduced to alter because of him
Really
Omg! I cant believe he shot the strange guy at the end.
When hes being paranoid and afraid of karma that may be back to him since he has been killing bad guys lately. Never assume looks for their behaviors. Kudos! 👏 i love the film.
I was curious about the face paint he had on in the liquor store. I know he mentioned he’s stronger than a lion but it looked cat like to me.
The point was to cringe. Incels are known for doing cringy things. Anyone in a constant echo chamber does cringy things.
