Check out our new short film The King’s Letter! kzhead.info/sun/hq6qfK-dnWikqmg/bejne.htmlsi=mxsancJlGEHtSZ4w
The cinematography in this movie was awesome
It is a rare phenomenon that a gripping, very dark story, should be completely without dialogue. It held me for the entire film and when it abruptly ended, I was left wanting more. Full marks to all involved. you made it seem so real. WELL DONE
YEA,HALF OF A STORY.

I have to say besides the locations and cinematography this movie is lazy and predictable as fuck but it is good if you do want a visual experience and can turn your brain off and forget about there ever being a story
Its not the apocalypse until everyone starts wearing fingerless gloves all the time
And gas masks.
What can a guy do Lol
why dont they wear normal gloves though
And gas masks work forever

ONLY 3k VIEWS!? This deserves ALOT MORE Views. This is awesome
ONLY TO YOU MY FRIEND.WHAT WAS THE BEST PART TO YOU.??AND HOW COULD IT HAVE BEEN BETTER.
nearly 200k views now
It's so well done that it doesn't even need dialogue between characters great job
By golly, that fighting scene took it to another level, loved how gritty it got! Hopefully the actors were treated with sauna afterwards, looked like it was shot during a cold evening, lol. Good job maintaining the story dark and desperate.
Actually incompetent ...example ,ANYBODY could fashion a club-pipe-ballbat to DROP someone immediately. Etc
That leg snap made me jump and yell.
All these post apocalypse movies are looking more real now.
Movies like these need to be more shown the wait times all right now it's afraid that something might happen to the world the way both nations are looking at each other and I wouldn't be surprised
China and the United States are looking like boxing match let's see which one throws a purse for the purse punch first
Two thumbs up. Perfect shooting locations, props etc. etc. Well done.
Excellent overall. Loved the lack of dialogue. It makes the story speak for itself. The only critique I have, and it's not simply directed towards this film but the vast majority of movies I see, even big budget ones. Why does every character load their weapon (pull the slide back) just before a fight? Common sense would dictate, in a scenario like that, the weapon would always be ready to go. I have to assume it's done for dramatic effect but, as a lifelong shooter and decades long instructor, it just stands out to me like a flashing neon sign whenever I hear or see it. A small detail to be sure and possibly meaningless to anyone but me but its one of those details many people overlook.
Amazing! Probably the best Post Apocalyptic short film I have seen on youtube, great camera work, good editing and amazing colour grading, the only thing I can think of you could improve are the sound effects in some scenes, they are little fit off sometimes but overall you have made a great piece! Hopefully more to come in the future.
Balin Thank you so much!! More is definitely coming!
@@mdafilm How much time did you take to make this project?
An excellent, gripping work! Much appreciated!
Very nice job. I love the cinematography
Good! You make realistic post-apocalyptic film!
Great job! Have watched quite a few post-Apoc shorts as a homework assignment for my own scriptwriting.....ranks at the top of the 50 i have watched so far....for an improvement suggestion, i doubt the characters would be wearing such clean new appearing outfits.
Great job!! Best PA short film i’ve seen 🤩
Awesome filming techniques!!! The location was perfect !
Wowww Look at that quality ,it just made my day !!
Great film MDAFILMS. THUMBS UP.!
GOOSBUMPSS MAN, WTF IS THIS MASTERPIECE!!!
GROW UP PLEASE,UGH.
Lots of bad tactics. Why ttavel with a gun in a hostile environment without already having chambered a round and keeping it the coat pocket instead of the backpack. Where was his water? Why didn't he scavenge clothes off the guy he killed? Like his shoes. He didn't check the guy's pockets.
Someone get this on Reddit so it can have the recognition it deserves
Thank you so much!
The real post apocalypse is “Adventure Time” Mr.
XR600 Honda and shotguns across the back, bolt cutters and hand pump
👍
Someone prob reuploaded it smh
No. The "Big nose mask" Mr.

Thats it?! More. Need more. Does he make it. More soon please. Excellent film
This... is... GREAT !!!
When using a BB gun as a prop for a firearm, be careful not to give the audience a direct shot of the barrel; the small diameter will clearly give it away. Otherwise, great job.
There are barrels that small though .22 and 5.7 and more
The Walther PPQ M2 replica for Paintball is the perfect prop. It look real. There is a comparaison on YT with the real 9mm. Both are made by the same company.

Great film quality. Looks real good.
I really enjoyed this ! The sound design is A1! Wondering if I can pull off something like this with a a6000
No matter the hateful comments major props guys. These people actually followed through and made their short film. I really enjoyed watching the short major props
Great work with good camera working and editing. I like it!
Nice story without a single word!

This is why you need to be physically fit I'm 32 year old man that's a retired firefighter with osteoarthritis in my thoracic spine and bad knees I'm not as physically fit as I used to be but in still strong when I need to be like if another man comes at me then yes I'm still an experienced street fighter and I know how to end a fight fast and I'm a former mms fighter with 15 years under my belt but I been doing more stuff like yard work to build up muscles again and get fit
That's great, now learn about comers.
Dude that was an amazing video!
The best apocalyptic film I have ever seen.

One thing about a smokeless fire is that it warms the ground. I suspect if needed the fire hole could be filled with dirt and slept on top of.
Wow..excellent...make it into a full feature film!!
AWESOME!!!
Great work needs more views
This, was awesome
THIS WAS SO COOL!! I want to make something like this but I don't think I can 😅 but I loved this!
That's awesome!

You have just earned yourself an new follower my friend
He forgot to take the filter
the filter he left was 40mm, the mask the main character wears takes 60mm
@@notnotagoodguy9600 nothing a little duct tape can’t fix if your desperate
@@keepermovin5906 I hope that's a joke XD
@@ductile1430 apocalypse problems require apocalypse solutions
@@keepermovin5906 I agree with that statement but when it comes to gas masks duct tape can cause a massive liability, there would be many leaks and such.
Well done!
feels good man,feels like home
Excellent.
Great job...Peace
le film est exellent les décors la musique le sond deseign c'est juste parfait
Oh God 👍👍👍👍👍🔥 This is fire ! Perfect, unique and - I have to say - talented. Also you made something with a real actor and sh*t I mean, I know this was made like 4 years ago, but in this case, I had to state how amazing a piece you made with this 🎉 Please don't cease with this kind of content, you clearly have a mind made to pull some post apocalyptic off awesomely
I have seen over 200 AP films and this is well done : It gives a goal , a new idea , good cinematography , and best of all stage props were very realistic. Makes us want to know more about the colony too. You have the talent ,hope you progress in this line of work.
it took me until now seeing someone irl use the gasmask to realize how silly the nose on the things look from a side angle.
Excellent film! Love it. Very good plot, scenery, costumes, and acting. And without uttering a single word you can keep right up with it. Would love to see full length version of this! Great job, MDAfilms! Hope to see more!
That was a girl who kick his butt in LoL 😂 but gun beats rock 😳
So cool !!! Really this film it's so fantastic !!!
Awesome bruh
This got 3rd place? I'd love to see second and frist! This was awesome!
A masterpiece with chilling suspense and thrills that leaves us wanting for more
Nice Vid. Loved it
sound designe is amazing
Wow, awesome film. You really knocked it out of the park, home run.
looks so comfortable
Very good sir, I'm impressed. The soundtrack was amazing.
Very nice.
so good
How tf does this only have 3.5k
For this colori grading you use a lut?the name of this?Low saturation?thanks man
Good !
Filming is amazing
Great film
So at the ending screen our hero realizes that this guy is actually raided his hideout find his research and thinks theres a colony of survivors up north but then gets killed buy the brown coated pmk gas mask dude our hero kills it and realizes that the guy who died was actually someone with hope thinking theres a colony of survivors up there? damn that hit hard...
Fucking brilliant !!! please make a part 2
Nice work
I really liked the short film, but I am quite concerned about the masks used here, they are the Soviet GP-7 and the Yugoslav M1, their filters contain asbestos that is released if the filter is hit, dented or wet inside, and I've seen that happen in the short film.
Yeah, that Yugoslavian M1 could also be an American M9 though (not saying that makes the filters any better)
Been wanting to do my own apocalypse short film for awhile now, thanks for the inspiration! Anazing work
F'n love this
I liked the opening but then nothing interesting happens. There wasn't enough forward momentum and I found the end really unsatisfying.
Its a short film.
Really good job bub be careful with the air filters on those mask's as some contain asbestos although yours looked quite modern,will you do a part 2?
Everything is like Picture Perfect...good man...keep doing it..try adding some suspense in story.
Bravo - got the right feel and locations for a post-apoc situation. About to watch Chapter II. I'd share with you some extremely petty nitpicks. First, I noticed the character in the beginning had clothes and equipment that looked straight off the LL Bean shelves - brand new, clean, no soiling. In the next scene, they looked much more weathered and worn as you'd expect in an apocalypse 5 years on. Perhaps these scenes were filmed many days apart when props were or weren't available. Second, the main character's firearm - if I'm not mistaken, that's a BB gun. I guess only firearms folks like myself notice this so it's not a big deal. In any case, these are only nitpicks. I mention these because your film is extremely well made. Hopefully my comments will aid you in making your future endeavors even better.
