"only three projection"
is a wrong translation
Instead, isn't "through"
that she said @[3:53]?
....................................
Why is there a portrait of Mao Tse Tung on the wall? You fancy a Communist dictator responsible for 10's of millions of deaths, do you?
@@markt7289 the answer is simple, it’s there so that you ask 😊
Still my favorite.
@@BlakeRidder The questions might have been a lot more interesting if there had been a portrait of Margaret Thatcher or Ronald Reagan hanging alongside the portrait of Mao. Just saying. 😊
Passengers...
A really impressive story line, silky smooth acting, beautiful timing and delicious colouring - thank you all for your talent.
Hope you've all enjoyed watching Psychosis, I'm here to answer any questions :)
@Rovin Gurjar thank you. I already made one helpmovie.co.uk
You did 600k as well! Great films!!👍👍😁
Mr. You and your movies are best of the best👍👍
Man, you killed it. By the power invested in me as a short movie lover, I now announce you, King of Short Films :)
I can find only one fault. Why would they depend on a stasis that results in psychosis? Everything else was absolutely spot on! I especially enjoyed him social engineering his own password.
This is an excellent short. It starts & seems to end in nearly the same place. Along the way, we learn about the main characters plight. In nearly the same way he does. It's mind boggling to think of traveling that far into space & the effects it would have on the travelers. This is a good story on so many levels 👏
Thanks Richard for watching and appreciating the film.
@@BlakeRidder Excellent film, compact, rich presentation. Also a definition of Hell.
Fantastic story, excellent photography, great acting top-class production lovely soundtrack. Blake l love your take on Sci Fi.
Please give us more.
Thanks so much John.
Agree totally! Great story well told.
Very very cool story line. Scripting was realistic with a solid cadence. The tech wasn’t too outlandish that it couldn’t be possible in the near future. The acting was excellent. (I feel like there is fine line when acting in an AI role - either super stiff and detached or going totally robot rouge without any mechanical inclination). The AI barkeep and AI wife/bar hostess found a very convincing medium. The captain played panic, confusion, discovery and finally defeated resignation to a ‘T’. Thanks for sharing!
Yes, I liked the circular story line, with the suicide explained at the end.
Holograms being able to affect the physical world like real humans is pretty outlandish.
The premise of Mark's memory wipe in this video reminds me of an old story:
A man opened his eyes & found himself alongside a forest path, sitting on a tree trunk that had long since fallen over. He didn't know where he came from, where he's was going, how far he'd gone already (but it must have been quite a distance because he was tired). Thinking about his situation further, he realized that he didn't even remember his name, his age, where he lived. Then he heard the scratchy-sounding voice of a woman, which startled him a bit..."So now, what is your third wish?"
When he first opened his eyes his head was bowed while he was thinking & trying to remember but now he raised his head to see a withered old crone standing nearby. Quickly taking in his situation, he asked the crone "What do you mean by my 'third wish?' How could it be my third wish if I hadn't used the first two?"
The crone replies, "After you got your first wish, you wished for everything to return to the state it was *before* your first wish. So that was your second wish & you don't remember either of them because even your memory was returned to the same state as it was. So now you only have one wish remaining."
This confused the man because he could scarcely believe what the crone was saying. After all, he didn't believe in magic or have any superstitions to speak of. But his curiosity was piqued & he decided to see if the crone really could fulfill a person's wishes. "Alright," he said, "I wish to know who I am & why I'm here."
"That's funny," the crone cackles just a moment before fulfilling his wish & disappearing forever..."That was your *first* wish."
😱
Nossa! Que história!
I'm trying to understand this but I'm not smart enough! DAMN !
@@jessehemphill4905 The man forgot who he is (amnesia) so his 1st wish was to regain all of his missing memories; apparently, he was a really bad boy with lots of regrets. He hated knowing that so much that his 2nd wish was to reverse the effects of the 1st wish, including giving him amnesia again. Since he'd forgotten what his 1st & 2nd wishes were, he repeated his 1st wish. Now he has no more wishes & can't reverse it any more.
Now he's suffering with the knowledge that caused him to wish for amnesia...

@@jessehemphill4905 The crone shows him of the emptiness and meaninglessness of the existential void that is him and is his life. That was my interpretation. Existentialism!
I wish my wife liked these short films as much as I do. These are pretty amazing. Thank you for giving us such great content for free!! It really helps through Covid.
I absolutely love it Blake!! Everything about it is so cool 🔥🔥🔥
Huge thanks to your performance
You were awesome Sarah
Amazing acting, Sarah!
Another great film Blake! Always love the music you choose! ❤
I really loved your short film "The English Teacher ". Now i'm watching this one. Let see 😊😊😊
You can't just leave it there. I was so involved in the storyline and the abrupt ending has left me feeling very discombobulated. There has to be a continuation in the pipeline. I am impressed by the quality and skill of everyone involved in the making of this film. Full marks to all.
I love it, these are my fav type of films, this was well executed and the team understood the assignment. Keep up the excellent work 👏👏👏👏👏looking forward to more episodes or rather a full feature film🤗🤗🤗🤗
Great story, with strong twists. Congrats on your cameo :) All actors were fantastic, and the setting made a great place for the action. Excellent job!
Thank you so much 😊
Your best grading to date.. can’t believe you pulled this off in a day and edited in two days!
The Ridder Machine never disappoints
I felt a little impatient at first, because I'm not a fan of the genre, but then I actually got more interested. If he can't go into hypersleep, does that mean he's going to be physically and mentally 44 years older, if he's still alive when the ship reaches its destination? If they're only 44 years away from an inhabitable planet, they must have been in transit for at least a millennium. I'm not sure that's consistent with what we learn in the video.
I'm not sure you mean that the potential problem here is that his own sanity might turn on him. That suggests that he needs to be psychotic to survive.
I was tickled by the explanation of "AI." So it doesn't mean athletic ineptitude. :-)
I watched this with CC turned on. What's with the delay in showing the last word of so many sentences? It reminds me of long German sentences in which the verb comes at the end. Of course, I've already heard the word, so the delay in seeing it is unintentionally, I assume, ... amusing.
While it would be nice to know how this turns out, it already works as a short film. It looks like the 2,000 other passengers are going to awaken without their top leaders. Thanks for the video.
Being without "leaders" would be the best thing about their fate!
I really enjoyed it. An intriguing story that kept you watching. Very slick direction that was unobtrusive and calm which enhanced the sense of control by the AI's in contrast to the 'captains' state of confusion. The impressive lighting gave great depth. The lead was very good, underplaying something that would have been internally frightening gave it more power. Great work all round.
Thank you so much. Appreciate it.
One story thread unexplained: If the captain keeps getting his memory wiped and the rest of the crew is dead... who's gonna land the ship?
At first i thought it was going to be some afterlife world , but still interesting concept.
@@KutWrite It's probably automatic , seen as he has AI in charge of everything .
I would say it’s so clever to have Chairman Mao‘s appearance on the wall, as this has indicated AI is universally powerful to be crossing nations and eras.😎👍
I wondered about the picture of Mao. A warning? AI feels a little dangerous. Will we be deemed obsolete at some point? Reading the comments, yours is the only one I've seen that mentioned Mao's picture. That in itself is interesting.
China’s modern and contemporary history shows how dramatically Mao’s revolutionary practice had changed the nation that is currently a major superpower. AI is deemed an arena with intensifying competition for all including China, hence more stories which will be from real world as well as Sci-Fiction.
@@lutherdrummond9514 I'm sure you're right. Many more stories coming. Will be fascinating...and maybe terrifying.
This was really good, but one question I can't find an answer to is what was that song in the movie/over the end credits and who performed it? Is it exclusive to the movie or can I buy it somewhere?
Gamma Skies - in a spaceship
The final revelation comes after a slow and subtle path to discovery. I absolutely loved it!!!! Definitely subbed! On behalf on those who have seen or yet to see this.... more, please? Be well.

From someone who writes stories with similar twists and mind-wrenching plots. Bravo and very well done.
Thank you so much.
Have you done any films?
@@KutWrite Working on some but it is slow. Don't have the funding for good equipment so the stories are good but quality is low-res. Been a writer and photographer for 30 years but health issues got in the way. Hopefully, once I do six [[That's my bottom number[]] I can get them reviewed and get funding to make them into something real.
@@mindofmadness5593: Best fortune to you on that!
Every sci fi film that is happening in a bar is excellent!
Awesome Sci-Fi Blake! It was awesome ,and the acting and premise was great. Also I like the fact that you are like Hitchcock and Stephen King and cameo in your movies.
Isn't this just a short film version of the Hollywood movie "Passengers", with Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt? The bar, the pods, the robots, the timeline ...
Wake up, you're in a simulation
@@BlakeRidder 😆
No memory at all...knows there is someone listening/automated computer to talk to. First glaring hole among many here. it is nicely done though.
Sara Alexander Marks
She says hi.
Me thinks this could easily become a series! Too bad I'm not a network executive.......
Thanks Don.
It remind me of the movie Passenger. Its quite similar.
Tremendous in the way he finally broke the simulation! Always trying, always moving forward 🙂

Another top notch short from Ridder Films. I enjoy your work very much, sir!
This one was really fun to watch. Looking forward to much more Sci Fi.
Great short! And my favorite genre! Kudos to you! I'm waiting for more work from you! Plus you have a new subscriber! ❤
Lovely to read this. Appreciate the support and sub.
I enjoyed that a lot! It's dreary, but with some hope thrown in; albeit slim. Good acting and nice writing. Very nice over-all package!

With those eyes Sarah Alexandra Marks can project an entire novel in a glance.
:)
Well, that's an uncomfortable fate. Gotta say, though, it seems unlikely that a generation ship with such a highly sophisticated AI doesn't have elaborate redundancy and fail-safe systems designed to deal with situations like this. What's the real need for a "captain" in the first place? Still, well done!

Sorry, but besides the graet story and acting; is nobody going to mention or loud out SHOUT how beautiful Mss Sarah Alexandra Marks actually is??? Or am i the only one to see??!! Eh, wait, did i said this already before?? Nadia??? Sarah??? ....... HEEEELP!!! 😎
this was great! i could totally see this as a full feature length film!
Nice job! Production values on point. Story left me a bit cold...perhaps because it wasn't clear why the captain needed to go through all this?
Thanks for watching. 🙂 the captain has no choice but to keep wiping his memory to stay alive to help the ship reach its destination.
@@BlakeRidder That's where you lost me...if he keeps wiping his memory and spends his time in a sim, how can he be useful as a captain? It may seem like I'm being pedantic, but without the stakes being made clear, it's difficult to really emotionally invest in his predicament.
Again, really nice job overall!
@@Humcrush he’s found a way to override the program. So he’s making progress. 🙂
@@BlakeRidder Hi, I thought about the other pods of the dead crew members. Their pods aren't kaputt, are they ? ;-)
Was this short film inspired by the movie Passengers?
Maybe. By the way, did you know you can get exclusive & early access on my Patreon www.patreon.com/blakeridder
Such a brilliant concept. We need more imaginative writers like this.
Ouch ! ~ the words 'rock' and 'hard-place' spring to mind . Shorts often leave me wishing I could see more character(s)/plot(s) development(s) , the next chapter ; with this though
, as strong and likeable as the characters are , it has concluded - nothing more needs to be thought about or said .

REALLY love the look of this! I JUST DROPPED a short film and would LOVE FOR YOU to check it out and leave your thoughts!
Great story. I really loved it. Only one question. If this is his 1st time waking up and becoming aware of the simulation, why has he wiped his mind over 500 times previously?
Suicide
@@avantdoodle Yeah he keeps thinking the gun will kill him, but it's really a memory wipe device.
Because he went crazy 🤪 every time. Why is he about to wipe his mind again?
Reminds me of the movie: The passengers
Me too I think it was strongly influenced by it I think the Director watched the film before he wrote this
Let's see here: married during COVID, we got war in Israel and Ukraine Ohhhhh fuuuuucc....
So many questions...
*Was the malfunction fixed (The last scene suggests it wasn't)?
*Won't the same thing happen to the 50,000 passengers or at least enough of them to wreak havoc and cause mass murder?
*Even if everyone else is okay when they wake up, how are they supposed to help Mark?
*How is Mark being kept alive? I'm sure simulation wasn't designed to support someone for an extended period let alone 2 years.
Spoiler alert: So he thought he was committing suicide 535 different times with that gun? Not counting the first time he wiped his memory, or the last time when he overrode the system and knew it was just a memory wipe? Ouch! He only needs to commit suicide another 16,000 times (plus or minus a bit) over the next 44 years before reaching his destination. Yeah, no worries at all. What could go wrong?
Blake Ridder is the best TH-cam channel for high quality splendid movies👍😍
That was awesome!!!! I don't say this often, but this deserves to be a full length movie. Great story idea and nice actors!
So, in two years he has committed 'self-deletion' over 500 times. That is pretty close to daily.
I think a new solution is needed.
Who would want to live another 44 years like that?
Next obvious question, which he did not ask, "Are there any pods available which I can use, other than mine?" Perhaps there is a spare? Or another passenger which has passed on?
If nothing else, the AI should come up with another scenario which does not lead to self-deletion in less than 48 hours.
I have watched this movie several times, it’s soooo grand! I look forward to more science fiction. Thank you!
Heavy duty. Trip wow. Kick ass
Yay! Thanks
Great song on the ending credits. The woman that plays Nadia is, beyond doubt, the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. All the actors were excellent.
Please share the Love of the Son of God. Please write His words in your heart, and share them. Please Forgive, and Pray for everyone. Immanuel, God with us....
don't iike the 'music' but the acting is good
Noted.
1: As much as I like it, I have to pick The English Teacher.
2: I am thinking, "I'd ask where my real wife is", then he asks, "where's my real wife".
The "this is the first time" answer to the question about how many times he became aware of the sim indicates that he committed suicide using that gun over 500 times. Unless any form of suicide inside the sim leads to a memory wipe and reboot. In that case he still committed suicide, nearly every day. But not always with the gun.
Perhaps he sometimes even asked to be killed, instead of for a "challenge."
whole lotta stuff taken from passengers here including word-for-word dialogue...
You have brilliant actors & story. We want full film of Psycosis plz😭
Sometimes it's memory wipe particles and sometimes a gun is just a gun.
Nice nod to "the Shining" there. I'm just wondering if ginger ale looks more like whiskey, while staying within budget?
What could be so bad? A hot girl, any one or any thing you want could be made, just enjoy the ride! You're obviously healed this wipe, so just go with it!
You look like a big man, Blake Ridder!!!! And I think the captain should've asked what the maximum speed of the vessel was!! For all he knew, the speed could've been set really low, either by the treacherous crew, or by the computer system itself, if it had some nefarious agenda!!!!!
Thanks man! Now you can get EXCLUSIVE and EARLY access at: www.patreon.com/blakeridder
A new episode, each time he mind wipes, would make a great series.
"How many times have I used the over-ride?"
"This is the first"
He's got a chance to break the cycle.
Thoroughly enjoyed this! With a 'Black Mirror' feel. 🧡
He could have at least asked how long until the psychosis kicks in, and make sure the next version of him was told before taking premature action. Then have a nice date with the girl.
Darn even the A.i. chicks are creating fights, drinking and head games LMBO. Great video :-)
Absolutely brilliant short SciFi reel, cheers Blake, storytelling skills to the moon, Tip the Fedora.
Thank you so much 😊
what if we are living like this here on this earth - prison planet but it is not reincarnation it is reincarceration that we go through - while something invisible to us feeds on us like we are their herd of nutrition - and they feed our bad frequency - the times we are falling from grace - grace being the essence of our soul - which they don't have control but somehow got us in the stock yards. Each time we go through we do things different here and there - but on the flip side is all the NDE I have read or talked to - none said anything about living the exact same life over - perhaps it is all about which raindrop you are and what ocean you belong to.
I got the subtle hint that the Holodeck had a flaw in it's programming....He orders a 'Whiskey on the Rocks', and gets a Whiskey and Coke...

Well hes smart, resourceful but... No security expert heh
Reminds me a Twilight Zone episode. Totally enjoyed this. Thanks.
A harsh reminder...whatever you do, never, ever use a password you will remember. ;)
Love the English accent, it brings the voice down and sounds like a strong male voice, macho.
Twas good. But, cooked.
Who’s cooking?
The Twilight Zone on Steroids!!!Rod Serlling would be proud 👏 🥲
Copied the bartenders line about polishing glasses from the movie "passengers" I see🧐
The main character looks like Dean Wicks from Eastenders.
Once again Blake, another top notch film. You never disappoint me, you deserve all the success in the world as well as the talented actors in your films. I can’t wait for the next one!
I did not see that coming. As always, the cast is fantastic and the writing engaging. Well done
Oh how I wished this was a FULL FEATURE FILM! The concept...the actors... BRAVO!

Thanks again Blake love your mind
Brilliant story
Please anyone give me the link of song playing at 1.14
This was very captivating and left me wanting so much more. Only criticism is the gun being used symbolically in this manner. I would have preferred the kiss instead.
Thank you for watching Brian, and thanks for the criticism, totally fair. Now you can get EXCLUSIVE and EARLY access at: www.patreon.com/blakeridder
Brilliant work. We all have the power to once through life events overwrite the program and be aware of the sim room.
I really enjoyed it...amazing amazing amazing and I can't believe how amazing your videos are ...so much tech mind ...wow ...I can't stop watching at the moment..❤❤I can't wait to see all your videos...from first one until last one ...❤❤❤🎉🎉
Thank you so much 😀
Alternative interpretation: the AI is getting everyone on the ship to kill himself, one by one.
Just discovered Blake Ridder films today.. im blown away ..im.seeing the same faces but in different stories but they are believable in them all.. loving the work!! Thank you!
Hi Shaun. Thank you. And welcome to the Ridder universe.
You in the wrong kind of knowledge don't let it be too late, it destroys everything
EXCELLENT! Thank You. Very Well done. Great story and concept. Peace & Health
