"Would You Like To Try Again?" by @michaellfelker turns that question into a sci-fi short about a runaway teenager and the arcade machine that won't let her leave until she finds out 🕹️👾. @PaulAtreidesMuadDib called it "outstanding, touching and a real moving story" - and we think the question it leaves you with is one worth sitting with 💟.⁠ ⁠ What now on #DUST.

When a teenager runs away from home, she encounters an arcade machine that replays her deepest regret 🕹️⁠💜.⁠ ⁠ Watch "Would You Like To Try Again?" by @michaellfelker on #DUST.⁠ ⁠ Link in bio 👾⁠ ⁠ 🎬️ Statement from the Filmmaker:⁠ Anytime I look back on an old regret, I'm constantly asking myself "what would I do differently knowing what I know now?" That question. to me, is pretty similar to the process of trying to beat a boss or a hard level in a video game. So with "Would You Like To Try Again," we wanted to merge the two and make a sci-fi movie that funnels that feeling of ruminating over your old regrets through the repetitive nature of old arcade games.⁠ ⁠ It's a small cryptic film that feels incredibly with our near silent protagonist as she gains hindsight by seeing a new perspective she didn't before. And the entire production hopes people can empathize with her journey and really think about that question "what would I do differently knowing what I know now?"⁠ ⁠ #scifi #scifiart #scifiseries #scifivideo #dust #dustyoutube #dustfilm #clip #shortstories #scifistories #bestshorts #shortfilm #filmfestival #worldbuilding #bingewatch #binge #doublefeature #movierecommendation #indie #indiefilmmaking #retrofuturism #gaming #vintagegames #surreal #wouldyouliketotryagain? #fantasy #scififantasy #newscifi #bestscifi⁠

This comment stopped us in our tracks 🫂.⁠ ⁠ MC-wild watched @amindcannottouch by @golfpanther and got to the heart of why its premise is as devastating as it is hopeful - we hug the clothes, look at the photos, listen to the voicemails, all because what we really want is something no technology can give back: to hold them again.⁠ ⁠ A mother brings her dead daughter back as a hologram. She can see her, hear her, talk to her. But she can never touch her ❤️‍🩹.⁠ ⁠ Watch the film now on #DUST and tell us what you think.

A grieving neuroscientist uses a brain-computer interface that she helped create to bring her daughter back from the dead as a hologram 🧠💙.⁠ ⁠ Watch @amindcannottouch by @golfpanther on #DUST. Link in bio 👾! ⁠ ⁠ 🎬️ Statement from the Filmmaker:⁠ A Mind Cannot Touch is a deeply personal look at loss and the lengths someone will go to avoid it. Inspired by my own mother's loss of her first child, I wanted to present a story with plenty of room for interpretation and exploration of the viewer's feelings. While most of us may initially recoil at the concept, I think with deeper reflection the prospect of bringing a dead loved one back to life, in any form, is something too irresistible to ignore. But as all too often in life, we put our own needs above anyone else's, which can have catastrophic consequences for those around us and ourselves.⁠ ⁠ I love grounded sci-fi that pulls at our heartstrings and leaves us with no easy answers. As the world around us races toward this eventuality, I think it's more important than ever to ask these types of questions.⁠ ⁠ #scifi #scifiart #scifiseries #scifivideo #dust #dustyoutube #dustfilm #clip #shortstories #scifistories #bestshorts #shortfilm #filmfestival #worldbuilding #bingewatch #binge #doublefeature #movierecommendation #indie #indiefilmmaking #indiefilm #amindcannottouch #heartwarmingscifi #familydrama #hologram #AI #newscifi #bestscifi #newdust

In 2086, humanity is invisible. Not metaphorically — literally. And for most people, that's become comfortable 👀.⁠ ⁠ "Visible" by @claydelauney follows one man for whom that's about to change. @Pablo_Hay 's comment of the week gets to the heart of it:⁠ "To truly exist depends on the courage to be oneself and to allow others to see us in our truth 🎨💓."⁠ ⁠ Sci-fi premise, very human story.

In 2086, after nearly seventy years of humanity living in total invisibility, the sudden reappearance of a few individuals fractures society once more —forcing one "Invisible" to navigate fear, connection, and identity in a world that no longer knows how to be seen 👀💗.⁠ ⁠ Watch "Visible" by Clay Delauney now on #DUST. Link in bio 🔎.⁠ ⁠ Starring Henry Ian Cusick and Sonya Walger from "LOST"⁠ ⁠ 🎬 Statement from the Filmmaker:⁠ I like movies where we never leave the main character’s side. I don’t want to get ahead of them. I want to be two steps behind. Don’t let me catch up until the end. It doesn’t need to be tied up in a pretty little bow. I just want to discover/grow/ache/flourish with the hero. ⁠ ⁠ Visible was a script where I could step into those shoes for a few short moments and journey along with the protagonist. It’s a movie with my favorite advisory: oneself.⁠ ⁠ #scifi #scifiart #scifiseries #scifivideo #dust #dustyoutube #dustfilm #clip #shortstories #scifistories #bestshorts #shortfilm #filmfestival #worldbuilding #bingewatch #binge #doublefeature #movierecommendation #indie #indiefilmmaking #indiefilm #lost #lostseries #visible #visibleshortfilm #selfdiscovery #futureoftechnology

What if Weyland Yutani were played for laughs 👽️?⁠ ⁠ "Moondays" by @markd_films is a lunar drug trial that spirals into deadly chaos 💊💀 - all the bones of a sharp sci-fi thriller, with the soul of an absurdist dark comedy. @80spodcastchannel spotted the evil corporation at its heart immediately. We'll let you discover the rest.⁠ ⁠ Watch it now on #DUST.
