  • Very Nice! It just seemed like when the guy accepted the offer, he seemed a little bit to gullible about it. Other than that, Solid film.

  • Interesting ..good video

  • Nicely done. It really got me to start thinking.

  • good film, but not much originality.

  • completely copy off saw, next time be more orginal

  • early one morning the sun was shinin...

  • What book is that intro from? It sounds so familiar.

  • wow, great work

  • Nice Film... I like the cinematography... it reminds me of the way mine was shot... Check me out sometime.. Thanks... We shot with the 7D Canon...

  • well made

  • yeah,

    SAW taken to prank calls

  • is it saw on phone..hehe

  • get a tripod for crying out loud

  • Good editing

  • well done

  • AWESOMEEEEEEEEE

  • Nice job!

  • Brought a tear to my eye Good job

  • I agree with expressyou below. I think it's a decent project, but the last part after "life has more than one path" is a much too easy ending. Instead of delving into the "what if" events, I think you should have made the offer more realistic (no one would have gone along with it the way it was presented), then created a real unfolding of events with some unexpected revelation or twist.

  • i called the number

  • Its intresting but there is something missing.... Whe you start explaning that life has more then one path is just a bit boring...you try to find a way to show that without actually saying it.. But its a nice a work!

  • I only have one issue... shouldn't he have hesitated? No normal person just DOES something like that.

  • I love the voiceover- everything was so poetic. I loved it!

  • Whats so good about this? this topic is tired, someone tapes and hides shit and gives some obscure mysterious instructions in order to do "justice". someone saw saw too many times

  • I agree that after the 4:35 point you had something. You did a great job setting everything up but after that point there was no mystery and its just not what somebody "would do in real life" ya know?

  • you dont know that

  • Really liked it. The voice over was great, concept very good, and overall very well made. I've been on a sort of short film binge, and this was among my favorites. It's funny how the more independent ones like this tend to be tenfold better than the "professional" ones.

    If you're interested, I have a short film up on my page called Ultimate Couples Therapy. Let me know what you think.

  • An honest assessment...The story actually seemed interesting until 4:35. It fell apart after that...

  • great vid!

  • watch my atlanta video

  • wow .. i loved the endin'. so great :)

  • nive videos keep the good work up

  • I found myself shouting at the computer throughout this "The cake is a lie! The Cake is a lie!"

    But wow, I really love your work. Especially this one, because it kind of hits home. I think it does to everyone in some way.

  • I mean, everybody's GOTTA give this vid. a two thumbs up...i mean srsly..."It's the only way" right?

    Amazing, love it.

  • That was something powerful of a video. nice one!

  • that was amazing.

  • Meh, it was ok.

  • G.E.nious! :)

    -imTKA

  • wow i quite liked that film. well done.

  • Nice job. Good twist. Check out mine called Tuesday Rendezvous. Look forward to your comments.

  • i liked it after i watched it i was like "meh its ok" but then I read it was for a 48 hour fest! solid job guys, use a tripod more next time though.. unless the rules of the fest didn't let you use one saw some shaky camera work at times

  • oh my god at the end i akmost cried..nice story keep makin more

  • Wow, this is amazing! Great story line, great acting, just wow!

  • Wow this was amazing. It really makes you think about things. You're extremely talented.

  • one question how did you make it go back like that

  • Wow, that was amazing!! love it!

    You're awesome Brent!

  • This is truly a wonderful film!

    You are hugely talented!

  • This is so super! And that only in 48 hours?! You're kidding me! Brilliant!

  • Gahh you guys are soo freaking talented. This was brilliant.

    <3

  • very nice short film. i loved it. Tomorrow is a tomorrow but who's here to say.. i like that ending touch. nice camera movements all the way. love that shot from bottom up to the bench to reveal the gun. also love the beautiful camera movement from the building 2 the guy sitting and deciding on what to do with his luck!!

    Choices are there, but we must always think of their consequences. I love this film and it also makes you think a lot in agreement with the gator420 below.

    thank you!

    :) Ruben

  • Your films REALLY make me think....thanks

  • and several others of course =)

  • reminded me of saw, but it was also pretty different. I loved it for both those reasons..

  • this was surprisingly fucking amazing

  • i loveeee these

  • at was awesome!

  • loved it

  • that was depressing!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This is pretty awesome for being made in 48 hours. It seemed a little similar to something from "Saw" but I still like it.

  • cools. was that brent's voice on the fone? it sounded like it...

  • That was really good. I like it a lot. Good job man!

  • wow, that was really really really good. I enjoyed this a lot.

  • i liked it!!! but i think u mest up by not showing that the guy turn ON the phone!!! u get me>???

  • hmmm. solid point.

  • but besides that!!!!! it was koo

  • who's number is 301-768-2456

  • wow

  • sweet

  • Is this still called "Short" Film??

    but anyway, It's Creative & Cool~

  • not so good story line but i got the point and it was a great video. a little revising and you could get some where with this

  • that guitar song is the first song i ever learned how to play O.O

  • top job some good direting but a word of advice im not a big fan of then i woke up or in you case but thats what could have happend you had me till that point watch my film wonderboy or y2k to give you some pointers both shot on small to no buget and only one cam and try using a tri pod for yor still shots it will really improve the quality of your film......... i have subscribed to you and i look forward to seeing your next project

  • umm...really? i'm no film critic, but i watched you stuff and australian accents and a tripod don't help bad acting.

  • im not claming the a actors are oscar winners but my film Y.2.K is direction music and edit wise a great film all im doing is giving brent a bit of constructive advice he. Least me and brent are having ago thats what its about. i look forward to seeing your short films or do you just plan on riding brents coat tails?? feel free to all comemnt on my vids a bit of Criticism hurts no one

  • very good short. I think you can still improve in getting more creative with your plot. Overall good job, I will look forward in watching your next project!

  • Very good.

  • grrrr-ate job..... i really loved the theme and whatr not.

  • you have an awesome narrator voice! :) <3

    lol

    this was cool, & weird, but in a good way hehe.

    nice work Brent!! :)

  • love the techniques but not a guud story no offence, but i luved the techniques u used ill give u maybe 6/10

  • 4 bucks says distorted voice is Brent..Reminds me a lot of saw, but great. Nice message..well written. Amazing acting.

  • BLAST YOU CARMICHAEL GUTHERS!!!

  • it's kind of a mix between "Saw" and "Butterfly Affect" but it still was REALLY GOOD

  • Wow, I love it. And that voice is so... entrancing... Great for movies...

  • @kwlman101 i've heard that voice IN movies...

  • that was soo....TWISTED! hints the name tho, i guess

  • wow

  • That's really lovely.

    Good job. ;D

  • you should be a director !!!! great stuff !!!

  • down with kevin !!!

  • OMG!!!!!!! it's DWackt from youtube.

  • great!

  • That was AMAZING!!!

    5*

    fav.

  • That was awesome! =]

  • kept me watching

  • woow! what a great short film!

    that ending line was excellent.

  • Oh wow!

    I really liked that and the end was totally unexpected!

    Well done (:

  • was the mullet guy Brent???

  • That was really good, I liked it alot!

    =]

  • that was wonderful! i really liked it from the concept to the camera work and the actors it was great! well done brent :)

  • That was incredible!

  • Awesome!!! Like Donnie Darko =) Happy End Rules LOL :)

  • awesome

  • Great job bringing this back from the night before man. That text you sent me freaked me out.. haha

  • ahaha. can totally tell the voice on the phone is you. :) pretty awesome.

  • great final line..

  • reallly good, mate!

  • that was pretty tight bro, good job.

  • pretty deep. i liked it. that could be a big movie if he accepts and does crazy things until his life gets taken over by it.

  • He picks up the phone, is told to kill someone, and he's just like "aiight"? If it was more believable I think I'd enjoy this movie more but nonetheless, great film.

  • haha i never said it was perfect.

  • That was pritty darn good. A heck of alot better then most short, low budg'es I've seen. Nice story line, it flowed realy well. Might have been able to use something to break up the chase a little though. Like having him run into somebody so he has to interact a bit, then hurry to catch up with Kevin. Would have been realy nice to have that person give a quick, sheepish smile after the run in. Love the windback and alternet direction. You can tell you all put some though into it. Nice Job.

  • where were you when we were filming?!?

  • Great job, dude!! 5 Starts! =D

  • nicely done :D

  • that was cool dude

  • the bad guy needs to do better acting... not mean enough. but good overall.

  • That was awesome.

    Can't wait to see the other one when it comes. =]

  • great job. Keep it up.  Hope you do well in the competition.

  • lol awesome

  • wow, brent,that was really good.

  • yo that was fuckin SICK!!!!!!!!

  • it was ok but i think that guy should never have called the number i would just grab the money and leave!

  • Oh my goodness that was so great.

    I actually gasped when he got hit and the blood went all over the wall.

    Great short film, very creative!

    Kudos!

  • that guy knows how to slap!

  • 5/5 + fav'ed, i really enjoyed that

  • HOLY CrAP...

  • well hot damn! glad you enjoyed it!

  • yes sir... I loved it.. keep it up, can't wait to see the one you guys were shooting in the bathroom...

    will that be up soon btw?

  • I have to say this was really well done. I Liked it a lot. I alway like your short films though. Or the ones you are in. There like the other side of you. The seriousness contrast to the humor in your You Tube videos. Wonderfuly done. Kudos to all the actors as well. You ALL did a wonderful job. It was obviously a really good group effort :)

  • i try to not be TOO predictable.. if i JUST did vlogs all the time i'd get bored..

    i like to think that I can put anything up on my channel and get good feedback from you guys.

  • Wow, that was amazing.

  • Wow. That was really cool.

  • wow that was an awesome film

    were u the guy on the phone because he sounds like u......if u had a really deep, distorted voice =)

  • ...yes...

    [DAMN they caught me!]

  • no i've just heard the way ur voice sounds and the way u say certain words

    im just observant

  • that was probably the most amazing vid I've seen

  • that was really good. i loved it! great job

  • that was absolutely awesome

  • simply amazing!!!

  • awesome man!! really well told!

  • gracias my foreign friend!

  • you're 60th video!

  • the very beginning was fine but there are many whys and hows that don't make sense in the middle that make up the plot. So basically i liked the voiceover's dialogue but not the plot.

  • i made a comment like w/in the hour that u posted this.. w/e youtube is messun up.. anywayas great work.. makes ya think.. loveit

  • pretty awesome. Original and creative. I'm starting to think it's human nature to stick guns you've randomly found down your pants.

  • i'll agree.. there's something oddly intriguing about putting a weapon in your waistband. hah

  • i was watching it and i couldn't believe how "into" it i got. It was Great!

  • wow, thanks!

  • Awesome! I loved it!

  • Duuuuude, That's pretty flippin' sweeeeeeet =)

  • that was really good.

  • awsome!!!!five stars!!

  • That was really cool. =D

  • thats messed up man

  • is that a GOOD messed up.. or a BAD messed up?

  • idk

    havent figured that out yet lol

  • haha get back to me when you do.

  • wasn't bad, but the red book (and the way he finds it) reminds of movie "the number 23"

  • hm.. i havent seen that since it was in theatres.

  • i just loved it =)! great job!

  • Cuwl

  • that was FLIPPEN AWESOME!!!

    love.

    xx

  • This is AMAZING. I could watch it over and over and over again.

  • you SHOULD! haha

  • well done!! i liked it~

  • This is an awsome video, i think you got the idea from saw right?

  • it's definitely Saw-like.. but we tried to stay away from torture and all the typical Saw crap..
