    Hey everyone! Thank you so much for checking out our film! This short is a real labor of love from all of us who really love sci-fi. It genuinely means the world to have our movie play here on Dust with such a passionate audience. Feel free to ask any questions you have about the film!

    I deeply appreciated that when Jennifer finally succeeded, she received not just congratulations on achieving a new high score, but fireworks as well. It's a rare piece of media that celebrates the breaking of a curse/negative emotional loop with the massive respect it deserves. I'm glad these sisters were able to find each other despite their differing ways of dealing with their immense grief. Congratulations to everyone involved in making this film; you all did good 🙂

    I actually clicked on this thinking it was a horror film but was pleasantly surprised. This is one the most endearing short films I've seen in a long time. All of us have moments we wish we could take back, where we froze and did nothing, or closed up and ran away from the problem. Moments we wish we could take back or try to fix. But some of us can't, for one reason or another. But for the lucky few? Watching this video? Please try again before it's too late.

    That was clever and beautifully done, with sensitivity. Good acting.

    This took me back to my HS days when actual arcades existed. My frinds and I would bring our $5  (each game was a quarter)  and play and play. Good, clean, fun.

    My mother&apos;s name was Jennifer Rachel, and this whole video reminded me of losing her, ...so seeing the two actresses names at the end, stacked like that @<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sExRqXMTTc4&amp;t=562">9:22</a> - hit me like my mom wanted me to see this.

    This was such an awesome project to be a part of. I&apos;ve always loved this short and the entrance shot into our arcade still gives me goosebumps. &nbsp;Thank to the whole crew who made this day so very memorable.

    I work in hospice, this happens every day and every night to family&apos;s. The ages are young and the expected elderly. The sorrows are constant no matter what. It&apos;s such a tough job! You feel that you just can&apos;t do enough to ease the suffering. Realistically, we do all we can.

    Grief is so much harder to work through with those closest to you, since they&apos;re very often experiencing it too. That much raw emotion in a too small space without time to process it can lead to so much more unnecessary hurt.
