@@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. 😊
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 👏
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!
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!
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.
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." 😱
@@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 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.
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.
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!
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!

Most importantly , Sarah , you are adorable and I think it’s in everyone’s best interest for you to just cut through the red tape and agree to marry me right away . I already can tell that I love you from your acting . 🎭 . Let me know darling . Take care all , I hope to see more of your work soon , this really was great .
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?
This reminds me of a movie that I watched, it has me thinking about how a projection might actually have a blank face, and how a human face has so many nuances to it even when emotions aren’t being displayed. My mind also took a different bend in Considering the narrative. What is the main character really isn’t in a spaceship, and really is having a psychotic moment from an alternate reality. It would be yet another twist in the story plot
I love how comforting Danny and Sarah Alexandra play here. Both questions and answers seem logical, but with that advanced programs and technology, repairing faulty tech seems like something you could do depending on the timeframe of incoming dark thoughts. But as stated. First time. ( Yes, i am being vague here to avoid spoilers. )
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.
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."

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.

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 😊

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?

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!
