[ZocoEntertainment]

I am a graduate from Vancouver Film School who graduated from Film Production class 126. Just recently, I started my own production company. I've shot my own short film with a number of graduates in my class, from the Writing Campus, and the EBM which stars Connor Stanhope, who played the young child actor Lex Luthor from Smallville. If you have a chance, check out the film on my channel. Vancouver Film School has prepared me well enough for me to shoot this film. Thanks! ^_^

[MissLittleDoll]

i love it.

this movie are those type that really struck you.

sad but then again wonderful..

[Huntseason45]

this video , its so hard to descripe how horrible sad it is , its really touching your heart.

[pimpwacker]

very nice. Although it does annoy me that people have to associate compassion with religion; as though we have to be religious in order to be compassionate. Its a bit insulting because I am not religious but regard myself as being compassionate.

[fairchay]

@pimpwacker I know what you mean. I'm not christian but i'm mormon, and because of this people think i am not compassionate. My own aunt hates me!!!!

[computersguy13]

Great job!

[moirproductions]

Great job!

[stongerthenlove]

[princedesouza]

Love it! love it! love it! love it! love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jesus's love was Immeasurable!

Very well done! Great way of sending out the message!

[HoboCartProductions]

i love your comment but "was" is the wrong word for it because jesus's love is still immeasurable even though he is in heaven:)

[princedesouza]

@HoboCartProductions Amen to that!

[faroverseas]

pwned! lol

[BadWolfReviews]

This is so beautiful. <3

[MRZALDANA]

Best I 've seen...Keep it up

[AcoustikWonderz21]

OMG!! JUST WONDERFUL!!! THIS IS BEAUTIFUL. Love it!!!! 10 THUMBS UP!!! if only i had that many, but it deserves it though!

[rmanfinrud]

My prayer is that If I'm ever a friend of mine is in need, I would drop everything to help them out. . . That's what Jesus would do!

[breakinbridge10]

anyone know the song title?

[SmallvilleRox919]

Man, this vid gets me every time. :,(

[gonbrother]

[mursalat92]

[assasinationnation]

I'm not religious but this made me cry numerous times

[XxAbandondDemonxX]

very sad, good imagination keep up de good work

[CutieRomance]

[TyriustDK]

This is awesome. touches my mind and just gave me another startkick to think further.

[defaultais]

it almost made me cry.

VFS short movies are great! you are all true artists!

[hkcuto]

[gaelwynmackwyn]

Hey! Time to crash the heartwarming goodness!

Robots need surgery?

[andrewpacific4]

Splendid.

[endlesshope77]

excellent!!! it is a wonderful short film!

[TheSunsetPyro]

good job. it still confuses me on y people hate christians when this is what we beleave. if we beleave in love like this, then what did we ever do wroung?

[kyokazumi]

wow seriously?

[raWrfACed]

because we don't act with love like this

which makes us hypocrites

and that paints a bad mark on chrstianity

that's why people hate christians

it's sad but true

[drstrangeman]

then we must strive for this mark. we must act with compassion instead of fire and brimstone.

[Skizzit24]

People actually use brimstone?

[drstrangeman]

not usualy i was intending metoforicaly but i would not like to be pelted with brim stone either.

hell-fire and brimstone speakers are the kind that say "you're gunna go to hell for not doin' this" or "your gunna go to hell for doin' that" the h/b (hellfire and brimstone) preachers are empty fiathed half witted fools that vie for power over other people.

[szczak]

sad and touching :( great work. it's only an animation but it's amazing

[sibherongito]

wow... i may use it on our Student Christian Ministry... i'm computer wannabe

[MaitresseMalycia]

touching hooooo!

[breakinbridge10]

[lonelygurl781170]

[Thewaterofthepool]

[ImjustBatty]

I loved it a lot! One big hurray for the Christian robots!

[breakinbridge10]

this is probably the most touching video on youtube.  the music, the visuals, the meaning is amazing. anyone know what the song is called?

[xolani3]

I may not know the name of the song, but I thank my husband Michael for all of his support through the roughest times EVER! so THANKs :-D **

[Sweet99Flavors]

So sad that I cried

[HaloMovieMaster0]

Quote from jsrffreak:

"I really enjoyed this. =) I really admire you for having the courage ot post this, I know with being a christian myself, a lot of negitive comments about the christian faith often become present.

Using the Robots as an analogy as to Jesus dying for our sins was quite a clever idea!"

I Tottaly Agree!!! This movie was sweet and a great abalogy at the same time. I loved it! Keep it up VFS!

[robbkatherine]

very sweet. but it would have been sweet without the religious reference, too...

[poppopwii3]

realy good and sad film.. good job..

[ACJW4FT]

Amen

[xandilo]

Amazing! rarely see these kinds of animation. Could you make some more?

Thanks.

[kithriel18]

Awesome job. We need more media with christian themes in mainstream society. Hollywood needs a change!

[Hectorcirijillo]

Impesionante!!

Me emosiono demasiado...

Los padres que realmente Aman

son capaz de todo!!!!

ivo!! =P

[rosegirl153]

Beautiful message, i love it...

[Sceptical112]

I liked it...although I'm not religious.

[jsrffreak]

[ZeppelinAl]

Jesus is my best friend

[ToffeeBear15]

5 stars very touching

[Zyfaron]

Must be scary for that Child... waking up, seing that guy (dad?) leaning dead over him, or no? :/

Realy touching though.

[elleonaeh]

Well done.

[DoctorGregHouse]

Wow. That was very sad... That father gave his own heart for his son... just so he could live. Very touching, it made me cry.

[gigglemagic]

[FollowingJesus247]

GREAT job! Jesus gave up HIS life for US Sinners!

[utbr01]

Finally, some animation used to glorify God! well-done! We need more fliks like this, esp. for kids. thx. God continue to bless your work.

[MJJ1]

Reminds me of dad. *snif*

[reiz20]

no words to express this awesome video

[doctortrax]

Very touching, but the Bible quote was a bit unnecessary.

[zachry101]

I'm not religious im more of an anti organized religion, but i didi find this touching and I must say its is well made

[llambandit]

Ahhh it made me tear up.. Amen <3

[andreaspeter89]

What program can a movie like this be made by? And how long time does it take to make it?

[enjoihope]

i love this vid about how god saved us from going to hell and living there for eternity and while i was crying i prayed to god for forgivness and to keep me as holy as possible

i LOVE GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sw0rdiez]

[ejikeanyanwu]

that has to be the best Vancouver film I've watched so far. and that's almost all i watch on youtube now. great song choice and love the Christian theme because it relates to me.

[Imperfectiion0x]

That is the best video i have ever seen on YouTube

That was absolutely adorable

I seriously want to cry for their love <3

Favorite-d, twice <3

[bboydaniel92]

Good vid.. very gd messege!

[katie2333]

That was a very sweet film the animation was not the best i have ever seen but it was a lovely story about a father and son very well done

[ninjahassen]

that was excellent love the message

[littlescholar]

That was a really great film. I loved the way you got such plain and featureless robots to convoy such great emotions. But, I hated the biblical verse at the end. the great thing about making a film is that such a wide audience read different meanings in your film. My son nearly died in hospital, and your film took me back to that moment, but with the biblical verse you forced your own interpretation onto the audience.

[yoopermichigan]

"you forced your own interpretation onto the audience. "

1. That, I believe is one of the basic reasons for making a film ... is it not ...

2. Jesus Christ did indeed died for you.

[yoopermichigan]

make that ...

2. Jesus Christ did indeed die for you.

[littlescholar]

Once again, even in your reply you are forceful in your opinions 'telling' me that your opinion and belief is fact, when most of mankind have woken to the fact that it isn't true based on open mindedness and researched evidence. I am not starting a theological debate, I am writing to you as a film maker, as I can see you do not understand the power and potential of film, simply using it to force onto others a religion that you happen to have been born in to.

[watchurneck]

you are being more "forceful" then yoopermichigan. and noone has proved or disproved the exsitence of God, nor will they. that is why it is called FAITH

and the maker of a film can use it in what ever way they want. u dont like it, then go make your own.

[littlescholar]

I am a professional film maker who has made 62 films (for TV and festivals, not short youtube videos). The existence of God has not yet been proved or disproved, but in terms of Christianity, your book and theology has been disproved constantly. In fact, I was not forceful in preaching what I believe. I simply stated the fact that most of the world now rejects the bible.

[7Rhex]

You're making a lot of assumtions. Each filmmaker has their own motive for creating film. It would be wise to realize that the target audience of the film might not be you. You're also assuming that the author was born into the religion they believe, and believe it for that sole reason. Religion is more than just something inherited from your parents. However, if that's how you like to view it, I suggest you keep your naive or apathetic comments to yourself.

[littlescholar]

I have no problem with a film maker propagating a religious belief in a film but there are more intelligent ways of doing it then sticking biblical verses at the end (take the Pretender Foo fighters video for example, the blood of christ defeating the army of evil). I did not post a comment as a christian hater, but as a film maker, and I posted the comment as advice, because I hated a part of the film.

[littlescholar]

There is nothing wrong with good and bad criticism, it all helps. It is you christains who have reacted agressively and rudely. If I am not from the films target audience then it should have come with a warning "Made By A Christian For Christians Who Will Hate You For Any FeedBack" Why is the positive part of my first message being ignored?

[7Rhex]

All I'm saying is that you're bringing up points that have no use here but instigating arguments. It's hard to make a negative criticism without being viewed as a flamer. I admit, I'm guilty of this as well. I do agree that a subtler message is better recieved, but the format here is just fine with me, no matter what message is displayed at the end.

[littlescholar]

Okay, cool.

[watchurneck]

and about being born into it, i wasnt. i made the choice myself. there is no such thing as being born into it because if you are going to truely believe in something then you have to make the choice yourself and at that moment nothing else matters. its just you and the choice infront of you, regardless of upbringing or the like. yes upbringing has a bit to do with it but at that time its just what you feel and believe.

[adibchelala]

I agree, still very good job.

[friedfroglegz]

Wow..That's beautiful.

[mytragicromance14]

That made me cry.

[vollehballfreak]

ohh how sweet

[Alice9]

does anyone know the name of the song?

[Hypocrisie]

that was one of the most beuatiful things i've ever seen, so lovely <33

i hardly cry at the end

[Omgoldness]

Aww... that was so sweet...

[TenroDemon]

Nnnuuu.....why did the daddy have to die like that?! I cried at the ending T_T

[KatBabe]

tis so sad T_T it made me cry

[DezignDezire]

touched....

[sabflower]

I think this would have been better if you hid the spirituality by changing the title.. into something like "The Love of a Father". So when people with father issues watch it, they'd be surprised to know that the perfect Father they're looking for is Heavenly, you get what I mean? When they know that it's about Jesus by just reading the title, the non-Jesus-loving ones wouldn't care to watch it. Just a suggestion. Good job, though. Cheers!

[CrispyHomefry]

amazing. thank you for putting the quote from romans in there. it was beautiful.

[wingedhamham]

*cries*

[kamleshrc]

Avoid religious quote ?

but that is the whole idea to explain what those verses mean. Good job. WELL DONE !!

[basock]

The verse from God (God's Word) is THE life giving part of all this/makes this human event meaningful. ..more than mere 'religion' ! :)

[lachuletas33]

This story is beautiful and touching, only if you avoided the religious quote at the end.. then it would have been wonderful.

[sturgiss007]

it was sad

[anonymous549]

A very nice movie but from 00:23 to 00:43 the kid seemed kindda unappreciative. Still the father was nice but the guilt that the kid caused his fathers death would be haunting (or at least to me it would)

[bgii2000]

"A very nice movie but from 00:23 to 00:43 the kid seemed kindda unappreciative."

Such is life.

[im2ndg]

im touched

[djemil5]

That was beautiful. Father and his son.

[0zzy1983]

It was good, but I didnt like the religious part of it

[TehHobbit]

That was beautiful. God bless you for putting the religous aspect in it.

[nejisgurlfriend]

i cant stop tearing =(

[Radmila7]

I think this short film tried to tell us why Jesus died on the cross for us,I liked it.

[littlemissemoxo]

awe

[MrMoodle]

I completely missed what happened :P

[skyparrow]

Its very good :( Im crying now Perfect

[nnbengboy2]

This was very touching...

[Mienk]

I love the video, I just don't like the religiousness of it. There are people across the globe and across religions (or with no religion at all) who give up their lives for people that they love, and even for people they don't like or don't know.

It is a great video and brings a tear to my eye seeing what that father did for his daughter.

[Darkmasterofevil]

I can't stop crying

[areliana]

geez i am crying how sweet

[HawaiinSunset]

I'm In Tears..Thank You Jesus For Diying For Me..*Crys* WAHHHHX:::::

[DetectiveAmbiente]

Greater love God is love is eternal life forever I LOVE CHRIST... THANX MY FRIEND READ "JOHN 6 :40"

BEAUTYCOOL ANIME..

[Mirnum007]

that was awesome; kudos to the student for making such a film

[retrisis]

hello im an atheist, please contact me at retrisis @ yahoo. com, i would really like to know how God has anything to do with this clip

[kangarookirby]

The parent robot (Jesus Christ) gave up his battery (died on the cross) so that his child (humanity) could be saved. Hope that helps. I think this is beautiful, as both a Catholic and as a robot fan.

[Nightwish117]

Jesus died on the cross for us even though we sin.

The father robot gave up his battery (essentially his life) for his son.

[daiann012]

its so sad but this vid is 1 of my favorite

[aaroncmt]

This is great, man. Lovely story, if not a little sad, though... That's okay, I'm into sad endings... Enjoyed watching this one!
