You guys are my inspiration as a filmmaker. I'm doing a serious project this year, a half hour film, and you guys, as low-budget, independent filmmakers, are my idols. Thank you so much for doing what you do. Keep on.
Your father did a phenominal job as the devil! I knew right from the start what was happening, but I was blown away nonetheless! :) He seems like a really polite and nice guy in real life.
I'm not a religious person but I must say that this short film is fantastic.Personally I think Hayden could've done better.Robert Grubb was simply perfect.Keep up the good work guys.
It's all finished, but we can't post it yet because it's been shortlisted for Tropfest (world's largest short film festival), and according to the Tropfest rules, the film must be a world premiere. If we don't make the finals we'll put it up here straight away. Check our website for details. Thanks!
Congrats on the film festival. I truly admire your films. I am 14 and i am really considering on being a director. Any tips??? Again really like your work!!!!!!!!!
We made it to the final 60 of more than 600 but didn't make the final 16 sadly. The plus side is the film is now ours again so we can send it to other festivals and load it up on here.
We couldn't afford one, total budget was $200. If we were to do it again with more money we would definitely use green screen. Our new film, The Window, has a green screen effect.
Robert Grubbs was absolutely PERFECT for that part. I really don't think the film would have been the same (or nearly as good)without him. Tell him I said that :)
Thanks for putting up the "making of" guys, really enjoyed every minute. Totally captivating and addictive stuff. Great short, which I thought was very original. Genius.
fatabbey - I agree totally, this is what you tube should be about, encouraging REAL new talent to start doing their thing. God/Gods filter was an excellent actor really really good ( professional ) and mr roberts was very good too, great story line - fave line = YOU DONT DIE OF OLD AGE ON THE SERENGETI " I watch black button atleast once a day lol.
that was very good. comming up with an idea i think is the hardest part of film making b/c you need something people are gonna like. after you kno wat you're gonna do, it's just a matter of work. I think you guys did a great job and i look foward to seeing more of your videos
you'll be the next james wan and leigh whannel of the Saw series. if you didn't know, they were just two average melbourne guys who started with a short film and then made it big! watcht the saw short film...it's here on youtube. again, good on ya! and good luck :D
You guys are amazing, are you guys majoring in college? or was this freeplay. Well Either way gight on! cause its greaaat, hopfully you'll make REAL movies in threaters XP
You should make a part 2 of The Black Button where the person he klilled comes to the place and then choses wether he wants the money or key to freedom.
Anyways, I love your videos, that's why I subscribed. keep it up, your shorts are amazing.
I want to make awesome movies in the future, and you are inspiring

Robert Grubb's acting was brilliant and Hayden's wasn't too bad as well.
