- A teenager discovers she's the last person on Earth.
MARTHA is used with permission from Christopher Haydon. Learn more at bluebirdproductions.com.au.
Martha wakes up one morning and gets ready, listening to music, brushing her teeth and cramming in breakfast like any other day. But this is no ordinary day. When she leaves the house she shares with her mother, she realizes that everyone has disappeared, and she is the last person on Earth.
Martha doesn't quite know what to do, spending her time wandering and listening to the last message her mother left on their answering machine. But then she finally encounters the one other person left on earth -- and discovers they are connected in a way that will alter their existences forever.
This intriguing, resonant short drama -- directed by Christopher Haydon, written by Iona Firouzabad and produced by Alexandra Blue -- is equal parts dystopian mystery and coming-of-age story. With exquisite cinematography and camera movement, it has the sweep and propulsion of an existential sci-fi thriller, while the discernment of its performances and writing unfurl a rich set of themes that pay off with a profoundly moving, soulful ending.
Its dramatic situation sets up a quiet film at first, with just one main character throughout most of the story, who must find her bearings. There is little dialogue but for the recording of Martha's mother, which Martha listens to again and again as the film progresses.
But despite the sparseness, the storytelling feels rich and full, starting with the compelling visuals, which inject both tension and a textured moodiness into the pacing. Thoughtful sound design and a particularly evocative use of music also adds to the drama, giving shape and form to Martha's emotional landscape and the peculiar emptiness of the world.
The film is anchored by a charismatic, compelling performance by actor Shannon Tarbet, who captures both the carefree, confident enjoyment of young adulthood and the increasingly unmoored anxiety of solitude. As she grows more scared, she seems to revert and clings to any reminder of her mother. But when she meets the one other person left on the planet, she discovers something more is going on, and must confront the fact that she must truly leave her family and home behind, both in reality and within.
MARTHA ends with a twist, one that spins the film into existentially profound territory. But while many twists go for shock, this particularly re-skewing of the film's events is executed with more steady sleight-of-hand than surprise. This twist adds a final chord of resonance that unfolds into an ending suffused with tenderness and emotion, as Martha faces the truth of what has happened and lets go of what she once knew to face the unknown. To say more would be to give it away, but it ultimately makes MARTHA into a story that lingers with viewers well after it's over, with feelings of aching, muted sorrow and grief. - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน

yeah props to the cameraman for not being thanos-snapped out of existence
😂😂😂
@@vivek-zo2yy please what?
@@vivek-zo2yy ok??? It's still funny lol.
@@vivek-zo2yy maybe to *you* it isn't funny, but to other people it is.
When you see that the first time she wakes up, the alarm is similar to the heart moniter beeping and the red balloon was tucked on her bed then her phone was cracked, the mark on her head, the crashed car she sees was her own accident. And she meets that girl standing at the same place as she was standing before the accident.
The minute details are amazing.
// Based on a real story
Jokes aside though,
this story reminds me of the epic video about the Rapture
that Atheist-TH-camr Belief it or Not made.
also the red marmalade falling on the ground.... like blood spatter
There are so many. I didn’t think anything was up until the cut on her head opened for seemingly no reason.
If we suspend our thoughts on the actual story, wtf was Angie thinking using someone’s toothbrush!?
After seeing all these details such as the gold fish still alive, and the power still working, i knew it wasnt some alien invasion but probably something mental
I thought she was waking in a hospital.
"Oh em gee, she's Rick Grimes!"
Man, some people are really putting out some quality work lately. The art of the short film has really come back and some of these film makers, actors, camera crews, special effects people are really displaying some talent and skills. That was great, seriously.
Crazy good stuff
Agreed
I wonder how it all works financially? I imagine filming a film like this, even short, even without any CGI, costs a lot of money.
This short movie is special by storyline, characters and the atmosphera of uncertainty that surrounds her current life.This short movie is special by storyline, characters and the atmosphera of uncertainty that surrounds her current life.
Really interesting short movie. Conceptual but credible plot.
As a parent I can truly say that probably the most gut wrenching experience ever would be to outlive your children under any circumstance.
I spent the whole film admiring the really beautiful use of colour
omg same here !!!
The Movie 🎥 "Fried Green Tomatoes" is the same colorful way...
Yes lots of *color*
@6eq uj5 they complement each other very well, even down to her hair and outfit.
I agree amazing!
The moral of the story : don't look at your cell phone while driving.
It's the same as walking while texting that's the zombie apocalypse
@Mila Sophia No, don't even have your phone out or even in your hand. If you have Bluetooth, then use that bc it is hands-free. It will save your life and others.
@@demijour1234 If you know how to use it responsibly, then you should be fine with one, but unfortunately a lot of people don't know how to use a cell phone responsibly.
Edit: I misinterpreted what they originally said, ignore this lol.
@@UpsideDownCycle There is no responsible way to use your phone while driving even if you are stopped at a red light. You should not be touching the phone at all. If you have Bluetooth, that is okay bc then it is hands-free.
@@demijour1234 OH I thought you meant having a phone AT ALL, not just while driving, that makes more sense. Your original comment gave off the vibe that you shouldn't use a phone anywhere at all.
Discovering that you're being alone is as equally amazing as terrifying at the same time
There are two times in this life time you are really alone, for women it's 3 times. When you're born, when you die, and for women when you give birth ❤
Can you explain to a man how being born and having a child makes you alone? seriously curious@@cassiel11175
More terrifying
I would like it
I'm honestly stuck on what to say.
Such a short film packed to the brim with emotions.
I thought this was going to be another "everyone has gone" film, but it is so much more.
Not doing spoilers in this comment, but I will say the actors and the concept of the film have blown my mind!
I'm not embarrassed to say I had to wipe my eyes towards the end.
An incredible piece, extremely well done.
I was getting ready to be bored, but like many Omeleto films, this made me sad.
That sucks. Crying. My son was in a motorcycle accident. Flew 1000 miles to find him hooked to dozens of machines. He was in a coma for over 2 months and in the hospital for 1 year.
He lived... Thank you God
......yeah god not the doctors.....😑
@@randomguy2918 Give the woman a break. Who created the doctors in the first place?
@@yahya2925 Their mom's why are youa asking
@@randomguy2918 Duh. Infinite regress doesn't work because it means that since there was no beginning to the universe(s), then nothing would exist in the first place! The laws of physics necessitate a beginning which we call "the big bang". But to say that it all just infinitely goes back and back is impossible.
so sorry to hear about, hope he is recovered. 🙏
If they shot this during lockdown, then that's genius!
I swear that my first thought when I went walking around after COVID hit was:
"I hope people are taking advantage of this to make post-apocalypse films!" Ha ha!
I’ve seen one other project shot during Lockdown and it was a street skating video in NYC and he’s literally in the middle of the lanes on over passes, flying sideways through the lanes of the highway and tricking off things no skater will ever be able to hit again. Both that film and this short film ,like you said, are genius. Everyone worried about curfew and dying and being scared huddled up in the house, meanwhile they’re like “let’s take advantage of this one singular moment that nobody will ever be able to use again, and turn it into awesome art”.
So rad.
Beautiful... absolutely beautiful 👌🏼
Yes they did
@@Bacon__SteezBurger you mind sharing the link here ?
Long enough to make us sympathetic to the character, and then you make us cry. Extremely well done.
Apparently Martha's effort to avoid running over Angie failed and Angie died. Angie then came back to help with Martha's passing.
I don’t think that was the creators intended vision, but you’re free to form your own theory of course. Personally I agree with what others have already said, that everything happening is just in her mind while she’s in the coma, and the reason Angie is there is because she is the last person Martha saw before the crash and therefore fresh in her memory.
That would be a mystical interpretation. But I don't see any other mystical hints in the video.
This would be me if I was her:
Panic attack
Panic attack
Panic attack
Wait...I have the whole world to myself. Awesome!
Then another panic attack.
@@TheAstroflight yeah, I know but even with her still coming to terms with herself part of me coming to terms with myself is my panic attacks so that’s what would happen.
On the bright side, most of my panic attacks have been around people, so after I accepted being alone, I would have been ok. Plus think of all the anti anxiety medication that would be available for free.
@@zaptainkuboom5520 Tbh same. Let’s just hope we can overcome these panic attacks. I wish you luck.
army
Me i would have said where is the local Harley shop ,,,,
So apparently, Martha actually left the house on that day. On her way while driving, she was checking her phone. While she looked up, she suddenly saw Angie appear out of nowhere and while trying to avoid hitting her, she drove into the tree. The car Martha first saw when she went out after waking up was infact the car she had an accident in.
The reason Angie is the only person with Martha is because Angie was the last person Martha saw before being in a coma.
At the end, both of them decided to go on a journey. One they would never return.
Martha took her last breath and died.
I thought she hit her with the car and they both died
@@stillpril8942 That is what I thought too but I think that by swerving and hitting a tree Martha saved Angie's life.
Angie was the angel of death, only taking Martha when Martha was ready to go.
Angie is the Angel of Death or Angie is a real person?
@@craftsandstuff3349 We don't know. It could be either way or both ways. Angie forgave her.
This was really well done. The real story was being told thru tiny details and symbolism so that the audience had a chance to guess it before they reveal that she's in a coma. The red balloon, the wrecked car, broken cell phone, the cut that just appeared and then Angie showing up, etc. It was very beautiful and very sad. The cast and crew did an excellent job telling this story. I look forward to seeing more of their talent. I had some thoughts so, here's what I think regarding some questions in the comments. First the electricity in her mind is still on because that is the life support machine in the real world, it's also why her alarm keeps going off, the beeps were actually from the machine. Second, about the toothbrush that Angie uses that was supposed to belong to Martha's mother; the Angie in her mind only looked like the woman from reality, and she may have been a part of Martha's construct, the part of her that knew what had happened. Either that or she was a guide that took on the appearance of the young lady she almost hit and was there to help her let go. In both scenarios, the toothbrush isn't real, therefore it didn't belong to anyone. It was symbolic of her not being able to let her mother go, and Angie knew it. Which is why Angie used it. It was to force her to accept that her Mother couldn't join her. It seemed that Martha didn't know her in the construct so we have to assume that she did not know her in reality. In that case, she didn't know her name. If Angie was part of Martha's mind, she gave her that name. In the case that Angie may have been a guide or guardian angel, Angie would a derivative of the word Angel.
Lastly, when she was leaving 'home' she wasn't just going to another part of the construct, she was leaving the construct to go to the afterlife.
Wow! Brilliant short story! Love how she packs the new “blue” headphones before she leaves. So many beautiful details. Had to watch it twice in a row!! Excellent storytelling.
That poor girl, facing one of our most primal fears ever.
@@TheAstroflight Being all alone in the world.
@@plumdutchess And also death, not to mention being held responsible for other people's death.
Would be a blessing.
Its actually my wish
@@Aria-se7fc until being alone you've been wishing will be the fear of being watched by something.
Some striking examples of metaphor in dream: the voice Martha keeps listening to is her mum, whose real voice she is hearing repeatedly in her coma state with mum@ bedside, but she can't see her or respond. The vision of Angie keeps popping in her mind; the Toothbrush moment is brilliant- her vision of Angie is competing with her wanting to focus on her mum; she freaks out and tries to push Angie in closet for interrupting her thoughts of her mum, but Angie is only separated from Martha for a second; Martha can't erase her, even though she tried.
Actor playing mother deserves recognition for the simple beauty of her performance.
did Angie die too?
@@mistyrainbowsystem In real life, no. But Angie was the last person she saw before the accident and so was incorporated into Martha's dream. We don't know for sure but, in her dream, I would say that she didn't. I believe that she stayed in Martha's dream until she passed away. After that, who knows? I guess it would depend on your beliefs are about the afterlife. 🤷♂️
And you're brilliant too
The takeaway for me is how we take humans (and realtionships) around us for granted, especially our parents. Only realisation occurs when we lose them or watch this short film. Thanks for this.
My Takeaway of all this was to re-watch Belief it Or Not and his videos about the Rapture.
The love of a daughter for her mother and the love of a daughter for her mother. I love this film. My brother died in a car accident. May his soul in peace.Greetings from Indonesia
Audio technique most people didn't notice: The rhythmic clacking of the bicycle tire was incorporated into the background music. Quite clever and creative.
Thank you for pointing it out, will rewatch.
It's also a reference to the time passing by for her, don't you think?
@@UNIVERSOENUNACAJA Yes! I think you're right! Like a ticking clock.
Also the alarm clock sounded like hospital machines
Yeah I actually thought it was part of the music at first. Took me a minute to realize it was just a well timed bike tire.
“Angie” , as in Angela , or Angel. The girls she hit knew the deal and waited to help her cross over. Lot of symbolism in this one. Brilliant!
Victor, I don't think she hit the girl. She swerved to avoid hitting her and hit the tree. The first car she saw was the car that hit the tree with no one in it.
@@marcd1981 Yea, I see. Or Angie was the Angel of Death and I was just Martha’s time😕
At 11:32 Martha hits Angie with the car 🚗 Which is recreated with the shopping cart scene. The glass breaking in the bathroom is the last sound Martha heard while hitting her head hard against the window breaking the glass.
@@marcd1981 she hit angie, kills her, then at the end apologises
Bingo. She's the Angel of Death.
I regret I can only give this one upvote. It's definitely one of the best short films I've ever seen.
Absolutely outstanding. The acting was exceptional - truly lifted it above the vast majority of shorts. Massive congratulations to all involved for producing something so fantastic.
The fact that in this comatosed dream her world is so intricately created to the point where she can even manage to get hold of her own thoughts and actions in such serenity.. it makes me wonder how realistic are these sort of dreams from the ones we have that are blurry, haphazard and chaotic when we sleep? Very interesting plot.
I do think that sleep and a coma should be - and feel - much different, but yeah...that would be interesting!
I often find my dreams are amazingly detailed and intricate. Frequently it'll be my hometown or the big city in which I live. But often looking for something I can't find... and a deadline to meet. So cool, but no time to explore.
I once read about a person who went into a two weeks(I think) coma. He said he met the love of his life in the dream, they got married, he had a job and everything as well. Then one day he saw this weird lamp in his house..he was so enchanted by it, he kept on looking at it because it was so strange. He didn't eat, he didn't sleep, just kept on looking at it for days. Then one day, he woke up. The poor guy was really depressed though, he lived through an entire life in his dream and to suddenly find out it wasn't real must be devastating.
@@AquaSventi That's so strange. And, the idea of having a life with your true love was all a dream would be heartbreaking. It makes you wonder if our waking lives are all just a dream
I was in a coma, and obviously I can only speak for myself, it was certainly really crazy. It feels real and I can still remember what they were about. Not all the details but certainly how I felt and what was going on. But while you're dreaming you only have your own mind as a point of reference for what is real. So it probably wouldn't be detailed to an outside viewer because your mind doesn't have to process anything it doesn't need to in order for you to understand what you're experiencing if that makes sense. There's already a lot of science explaining dreams but since everyone is different there's not gonna be any concrete answers, but typically there's certain things that happen that you wouldn't notice while dreaming like, not being able to look at a clock, getting somewhere without actually traveling there, etc. You don't usually notice these while dreaming and when you do it usually wakes you up. It's one of the problems with lucid dreaming, there's a dissonance between the dream world and the real world that once you notice it your body will usually wake you up.
Angie as angel, i dont think angie was hit by the car, we dont see her im the hospital. I think martha avoided the girl by hitting the tree and getting into a coma, and then an angel took form of the last person she saw so she could help her do the passing in peace. And now she is off to an endless adventure she will never came back from.
Truly beautiful and sad
I think you are right about Angie,actually_ I hadn't thought of that-just assumed Angie had died as well!
@@LeslieNDean i thought that at first, but angie was to calm about their situation and so sure about what was happening so the name made me connect the dots
doesnt she apologize to Angie after the grocery cart ride? If so- why?
I agree. Remember towards the beginning when we see the car crashed into the tree? That's definitely her car, and is also the aftermath of her avoiding Angie but still crashing into that tree.
In the film, Angie only exists in Martha's mind; she's never a literal character. Martha doesn't know if the girl in her path was hit or missed by her car, whether she is alive or dead. This question is not answerable and not really relevant to the artistry of the writing.
This was an incredible piece of filmmaking. Congratulations to everyone involved.
Well, this just shattered my heart into a few hundred pieces.
Had me crying when she gave her birthday presents on her bed... Idk why but that hit hard
This channel makes me cry on the regular.
@TahaHassanXT strong enough by Marsheaux
My Mom died last December 18th 2020..1 week before Christmas..That hit me hard too.
@@AaronHendu yeah this is the Lifetime channel of TH-cam 😁
@@DanneyTanner stay strong bro/sis and never loose hope. Nothing is permanent, good times pass by so do bad times. Pardon my english.
It’s like that one spongebob episode where everyone had a vacation from spongebob.
Yea I remember that
That’s exactly what I thought of when I saw this
There is at least one "Twilight Zone" and "Outer Limits" along these lines. Not exact, but similar concept.
Spongebob really needs to take a Vacation from them.
Except of course that this is a lot more serious. Can't see anyone laughing from watching this Omeleto episode
Ten years ago I was in a coma, big accident, and I almost always feel this hazy mist in my head. It makes me wonder sometimes...
What did you see in your mind😳
Do you remeber?
The writing, directing and cinematography in this film, should have won some awards. BRILLIANT!!!
I love how the story slowly reveals what is truth and what is dream. The dream reflecting the reality of the young woman's situation. Well done.

I was concerned that this was going to be some typical apocalypse movie with no real resolution. Instead, it was a fantastic story of love and redemption.
OMG I wasn't expecting that ending. Thank you, well done. Love the whole angle of the film.
I have a very strong relationship with my mother and... Watching this makes me sob.. the thought of being alone without my mother terrifies me because she took care of me since young...
Wow if that’s not the best no texting and driving story I have ever seen . Everyone needs to see that one
Don't look into your phone while you're driving, people! That's irresponsible and dangerous!
I got T-boned because of that! Her conversation was so much more important then paying attention and stopping at the stop sign.
@@Msfeathers7 That sucks! I hope she pay for everything at least? That's the least she can do.
Yeah I was on a date with someone who whipped out their phone while driving and decided there would be no more dates after that lol
It’s like any of the million possible distractions while driving. You have to have your priorities know your limits. Some drivers can’t drive. Many can’t change a radio station while driving....
I have no problem using cell phone while driving. But now because I have older car/truck I can’t use cell phone while driving. I hit one button “call wife” then push second button, drop ph9ne in shirt pocket. But it’s not legal. In noisy truck I stick phone under shirt on my shoulder. Just because others can’t do anything but drive.
@@larrythompson8630 True ... Some people have tunnel vision some people like me are aware of everything that goes on around them at all times we have a great spatial awareness and can actually feel the rhythm of the road we can do many things at once I don't recommend texting and driving for most people I don't even do it myself just because if something happens I wouldn't forgive myself.
I liked the nice touches in the beginging to show her clumsyness and carelessness, like the jam and smashed up phone

The will power she showed by not scoring a drumstick off the ice cream truck was amazing.
Gawd this was sad. So she killed this girl and herself. The girl she killed rescued her from purgatory. Edit: alternately this was her mind's dying dream created from guilt and regret, and so the girl she thought she may have killed right before she wrecked was conjured into her dreamworld/nightmare. But on some level she made peace with herself and came to terms with her own death. Damn that's pretty sad. Reminds me of Jacob's Ladder.
The Person who plays Martha is an amazing actress

@@strokeracer dude the actress is 29 years old she looks young but you can tell that she's in her twenties it even says in the description young adulthood lol
@@ialuko I think he's only reflecting what's on his mind. He must be a lewd person, that any positive words sounded dirty to him. In other words, he's the actual pervert.
the 2 teens are so lucky to have the whole world just for the 2 of them. I wish I could wake up one day and find out I'm the only guy remaining on this planet.
Kudos the the writers and makers. So refreshing an idea, a story, just awesome, just think about it guys! Thanks for creating this gem!
Martha's consciousness (soul if you're a believer) lives beyond her physical self. It was her consciousness being portrayed in the film as if she had entered another world (multiverse?). When her consciousness decided to move on, her physical self passed on. Such a deep and moving short film. It's utterly beautiful.

If only she didn’t listen to the other soul and stayed back - and held onto her mom - and woke up
I think Angie said that Martha wouldn't make it (she would dead) so yeah Martha said we should go (go to the afterlife I guess) and at the end Martha dead.
It's amazing to see how short movies are great as full length!
Good thing she wore those headphones.. and was connected to the rest of humanity.
Damn this is good, haven’t tuned into this channel in a while but this caught my attention
Post-watch edit: holy hell that was really good, gave me chills, especially the parts in the dream that reflected what’s happening/what happened in the real world.
same

I liked the foreshadowing hints, like the red balloon reappearing out of focus, the cracked screen of the cellphone, the crashed car and the reappearing injuries on her face.
Have you seen the young couple gets a hotel room? That hit hard. So very hard. These are unbelievable.
@@MzClementine I watched that one a while back. It was unexpected how it ended.
What would y'all do in this situation? I personally would have lots of fun at first but man it would be lonely. Even with pets to keep me company.
try to find out where everyone went. was it aliens? rapture? a prank?
First week, trying to find people, will try to communicate with the world. Then will start to store foods and cloths. Collect books from library on how to survive alone. Will collect weapons. Then I will go exploring to see if I can find anyone. A few years like this, and then I will probably get rid of myself being not able to cope with this.
@@obi-wankenobi5411 few years is really good. People go crazy in months of solitary confinement.
Try to figure out why I'm the only one left and live my new reality to the fullest.
As an ISTP this would be perfect for me LoL.
1. The mom is so sweet...
2. I was not expecting that ending! That is so sad... and such a twist, too.
I would be so scared, I have had so many nightmares like this where i just wake up in a cold sweat
Martha is an amazing actress her control over her emotions is just 👌
For me, this is one of the most intrigeeing apocalyptic themes. Important is: only people have dissappeared, or also the animals (which we saw none in this nice movie)... makes a BIG difference in practice.
There were fish
Watch the whole story, it's not the apocalypse. There's a reason why there's no one else.
Birds are chirping so I gues...
There were birds chirping and there was a goldfish in the tank at Martha's.
So the lights flickering is symbolic...
Remember even in your very loneliest situations, there is a cameraman with you.
Beautiful use of colours, gorgeous actress and…..where in England was this filmed? It’s gorgeous……reminds me of Berkshire!!!
Thanks alot, starting my morning off sobbing like a baby! Thought she was going to wake up until she deleted message. Very well done and the actors were so good!
The films Omleto brings us everyday is more worth than watching full hours movie of the Hollywood . I can’t help but appreciate their hard work and the storyline of these movies are just so perfect and blending with the reality that sometimes you keep on wondering if this is the truth or is it going to be the truth. Coming to this story I had always wondered of how it would be if everyone on the Earth had vanished but their definitely would be a lot more consequences than even thought about. Nuclear power plants could have burst and dams burst open without man power to control however from the perspective of a single woman in one part of the world this was vey interesting. It seems like she was in coma and her subconscious mind was imagining this. Great concept 👍
Yeah as someone who has worked in the electricity industry I could not understand HOW her power was still on -
will depend on the system, country - but basically PEOPLE are needed 24/7 - not talking about maintenance, I'm talking about complete cascade failure - of the ENTIRE grid almost *immediately*
If people just disappeared, power would literally grind to a halt
@@juliaconnell It was a dream she was having while in a coma. The power doesn't necessarily have to function exactly the way it would in real life when your in a coma. It also represented her life flickering out.
@TahaHassanXT The song is Strong enough by Marsheaux,there u go😀
@@tiberiusgracchus4222 thank you for the explanation - yes I UNDERSTOOD *all* that - that was simply me - going ahhhhhh (like WHY was she riding a bike everywhere & not driving a car - WHY did this one woman suddenly appear out of nowhere (the woman she hit, while driving, before crashing into a tree - ) - these 3 things bothered me - WHY was the electricity still going if she was truly alone -
I didnt want to give away any spoilers (got TOLD OFF for that - the other day)
I assumed that the film maker, like the vast majority of people in assume, think in this scenario - everyone just DISAPPEARS - except her - power might last days, weeks even months -
similar movies, short & long, tv shows do all the time -make this assumption - which is simply not true
Oh and dams would NOT burst - not immediately at any rate - most have build in spill ways - some are obvious, others are not -
Some forms of generation - like geothermal, coal (urgh) the generation might keep going for a little way - but as i.said last night, at least in my country, the entire national grip would go into cascade failure, requiring black start - a complete & utter blackout almost immediately
although the VAST amount of data needed to 'solve' the balance between demand & supply is done with computers - people are still needed in critical positions in real time to keep the electric grid itself running
- they're in rooms with high security, boom proof - their building could literally burn to ashes around then and they could still keep working -:plus there are redundancies build into the system - back up sites etc
Thank you for the cameraman for vowed never to interfere with the history of the movie, you are amazing!
I like that she didn't have to move on until she was ready.
"Where is everybody?" "The Quiet Earth" has happened? Nope, just the first steps on the journey from which none return...
Clever. Very clever. I wasn’t quite expecting the conclusion. I really enjoyed the twist, even though it was all up in my feels.
I realized the true when it showed mom at the hospital, then it all made sense.
The debate is weather or not she hit the girl before she crashed. That is left up to the viewer to decide.
That was incredible. Hats off to all involved.
This was a brilliant short film. A fantastic story, beautifully told and imagined.
15 minutes and 29 seconds of perfection! WOW! To say this film is powerful may just be an understatement. BRAVO! 💗
That was really rough on my feels first thing in the morning lol, but it was a great story, and well acted! I also wasn't expecting the ending 😥. Who else couldn't get over how amazing Martha's hair was 😍?!
Love that Cool Hair !
This one was definitely a clever one 👌 made you really think. At first I wasn’t getting it, but at the end I was like, “Ooohhh.” This short film is the definition of bittersweet. It’s heartbreaking that she passes, but it was her time to go and overall I found the colors, symbolism, and story very touching and deep. Now one of my favs from Omeleto ♥️ amazing work to everyone who was involved with making this short film 😇🥰❤️
This was deeper than expected
one of the most beautiful ways to show someone dying at 15:25
What a jewel...painfully beautiful and beautifully painful...Everything, the script, the story, the light...the suffering of that waiting mom...This is CINEMATOGRAPHY as good as it can be. Kisses and hugs from Spain. You got me with this one...
I am always impressed with these movie shorts. The quality of production, writing and acting is excellent. I have seen so many high budget movies that fall short of the mark. Keep it up.... good show !
This hits kind of hard. My sister's friend got into an accident last year on a highway going a bit over 60 and went into a coma. It has been a bit over a year now and she's still in coma and on the ventilator. She's only 28 and has her whole life ahead of her. The family is still holding out hope but there are no signs from the brain. I can't even begin to imagine their pain and feeling of uncertainty. There's probably a less than 10% chance she ever wakes up and even if she does it's unlikely she's be the same as before mentally. Life is cruel and brutal. Cherish every second you have on this earth with loved ones while we can.
beautiful, smart, simple, emotional and real. that's the truth a short movie should bring. beauty indeed
As an anti-social agoraphobe...this would be a dream come true.
High five on that
@@themaskofzorro4136 Unfortunately, I've experienced first hand what being in a coma is like...and I'll never forget waking up and just being glad to be alive. Waking from coma felt like waking from a life long fever dream.
@@AaronHendu ICU syndrome?
No it wouldn't, coma sucks. I'd rather be dead. But, if it's not a coma and the world really does become like this, no people, then yeah, it'd be heaven. There's a flip side to this though, there's no guarantee that you'd be the last one to live. Knowing how unfair things are in this universe, it might be someone who wouldn't want to be the last one, while all those who would like to be, would be gone with whatever happened to make everyone go away.

the color palette of this filter, outstanding.
The cracked display of her smartphone was the first indicator that something was...off. You wouldn't expect a girl who lives in such a nice home to be holding on to that device, instead of simply buying a new one.
Mate, your movies outrank Hollywood by far !!!
Appreciate your achievement
Powerful team indeed, each and every one.
That was SO well edited to combine the story the way you did !!!
The shot at the end. Where the fog fades from the oxygen mask. That got me.
Shades of "Dead Like Me." Fantastically well done!
As soon as I saw her scar I had a feeling of what happened but at the end I was still pleading " please don't leave your mother"
So well done! The details, sounds, imagery, symbolism. The clues were all there, and I did figure out the major plot twist, but the story was no less compelling. Bravo!
I did feel something was seeing with the world. Electricity still working, house still clean, never running out of clothes to wear without cleaning and the lack of dirty dishes.
// Based on a real story
Jokes aside though,
this story reminds me of the epic video about the Rapture
that Atheist-TH-camr Belief it or Not made.
Her phone is the most realistic thing about a teenage
1:13
Omeleto is like a scrambled egg with many twisted thoughts of some brilliant directors with wonderful production
I really like the use of colors in this short.
Yep-I took a trip to Australia once, and I felt the same-like I was the last human on earth.
I loved this. Definitely has a San Junipero feel to it. The quality of short films I have been watching lately is giving me hope that the reality genre will not conquer fiction.
the fact is that she can even eat everything she wants because she isnt gonna get judged by anyone.
Freaking awesome. At the 8 minute mark I clicked on the frame to see how much time was left, certain it must not be much. "Eight minutes? They conveyed all that storyline in just eight minutes?!?" This is the soul of tight storytelling. A 16-minute feature film.
I wish I could have heard the dialogue. even with all my settings up to the highest level I couldn't hear the last words they spoke to each other. Great story, beautiful cinematography
Wow this is my third video of Omeleto's short film and I'm just mindblown on the storytelling! This is just so good and it has soo many easter eggs/Hints on what happened to Martha. The balloon on her bed, The beeping on the phone, The headphones she was wearing, The lights going out, Her wound on her forehead, The glass shattering, And also Angie appearing where they last met (which you know where).
I love films where there is a good plot twist and I love how they do their plot twist in their shortfilms
Also I cant get this out of my mind but the way this was filmed reminded me of stranger things which was really cool if they intended that
Masterful camera movements and colour design complemented by the leads compelling solo performance made this such a treat! Much talent
"A teenager wakes up and discovers she's the last person on Earth"
you say that like it's a bad thing...
I love it when we have people that are so smart as to heal humanity,.
Wow, that was so good. At first I was like I want that and then at the end I was cutting onions, so sad. These are such good short films.
When I saw the cute on her forehead I imagined that she was hallucinating or something, BUT WOW IT WAS 100× deeper than I thought🥺👌🗣 omeleto, thanks so much for bringing this amazing piece to us
Even more implausible is that teenager waking up to find that she's NOT the only person in the world.
Quite a deep and true comment!
She decided to leave when she realized that fish doesn't need to food.
