Content

Here are the three fabulous short film options! (Watch our full pitches for each in the video in the previous post for more details and excitement!)

Unrealized - A coming of age comedy about super-powered young adults in an ordinary world. How do they cope with their unrealized potential, and life not working out the way they'd always planned?

MeetU - A Romantic Black-Comedy about 2 people trying to find love using CyranØ, an AI-powered dating app that "optimizes" all your interactions with your romantic interests. Leading to even more bland, meaningless dates than you're already getting from the apps.

Ashes to Ashes - A road-trip dramedy about a middle-aged failure to launch, and his strained relationship with his mother, as they attempt to scatter the ashes of the father/husband, and brother/son. Can they succeed in a seemingly simple task? Will they finally learn and grow into a healthy adult relationship? Can you get the smell of vomit out of a 1993 Chevy Silverado with Febreeze and Jack Daniels?

Watch the video in the previous post for more details about each of these pitches, then please vote below, and remember to tune in the afternoon (US Pacific time) of Wednesday April 24th for the announcement!

Ahh this is a difficult choice, I like all of them

SaucyJTB

Again, my true answer is "yes." These all sound like amazing stories.

Bryan Bowes

Can’t wait to watch them all. Never heard of any of them.

Alan Seawright

So exciting to see the votes start to come in! Now I have to have the discipline to not look again until the announcement livestream next week! Y’all are rad.

BiotheFox

...augh ashes to ashes or Unrealized

Sadie

All of them...

Melissa

Ok, saw the post before I knew there was a video. Just changed my vote! How awesome Cinema Therapy!

William Church

Ok, I want to see all three. But I'm going to vote for the one that's going to make you stretch.

Ian C

This is so cool to see unfold! It really means a lot to now be able to witness how much you are valuing the different ideas and skillsets that come from this community. Thanks Alan and Jono! Also, for anyone voting here, there’s another post with a full pitch video that explains each of these options in much greater detail. So check that out before making your choice! ☺️

Carissa Cunningham

I also agree that I want all three! Although, I’m a fantasy/sci-fi nerd, so I’m slightly leaning towards the first two.

IndyDrawsArt

All of these are fantastic. I’d love to see MeetU, since it’d tie in a little with the current conditions with AI. … it’s a weird thing that I could go on many rants about but already pervades everything, whether people realize it or not. Man, these were all tough choices. Any of them will be amazing though. Truly look forward to any of them. 💙💙

BJ

Oh no, how do I choose? They all touch special parts of me...

Tif

Give me an 80ft tall granny statue PLEASE! (As I mentioned in the live stream ;) ) I love all of these, it's so hard to choose. The only good thing to know is we can't loose with any of them! They're all such great content!

devan vancise

Loving the Ashes to Ashes. It hits close to home and I got tingles when I read the pitch. And who doesn't want to watch Alan do something he has never done before. Sounds great to me. :)

Rhys

I love the idea of MeetU and I hope it stays on the table for future polls! Ashes to Ashes sounds like it will be a wonderfully emotional story and it's got to have my vote this time!

Wayward Ace

Ashes to Ashes. I love stories centered around death that still have humor.

Lydia Hartzler

The struggle of which to choose is SO real! Can we just say let's do all three, we're just voting on which one gets done first???

Kambria

Ohhh, this is so hard. I love the Black Mirror vibes of MeetU, but Ashes to Ashes sounds like a comedy that would be both relatable to me and people I know, and also like it would make me cry, which is always welcome. Decisions, decisions!!

Drug Princess

I think 'Unrealized' would help a lot of people. 'MeetU' sounds like some dark fun, I enjoyed some of Black Mirrors offerings. 'Ashes to Ashes' sounds like a great mix of feelings and fun. This is a real tough choice.

2eTherapyJamie

I landed on MeetU, because I wanted the other two to be longer than 20 minutes 😬 I seriously couldn’t choose outside of that because they are all great.

SaucyJTB

They're all so close as of right now 😲.

Valerie Cepero

Ashes to Ashes has film festival potential.

Holly✌️

You guys, the choice is so difficult. How am I supposed to choose when you pitched bangers!?

LG Alfonso

I wanna see them all! But I’m anxious rn and need some fun comedy, so I voted Ashes to Ashes

Manic Thiccsy Dream Girl

Honestly, they all sound watchable and fun. I would say MeetU first choice, Unrealized second, Ashes to Ashes third. But I will 100% watch any of them.

Marie-Soleil Cha

This was not an easy choice at all. I feel like the 1st option is really fun, but I don't know what are the VFX implications and the potential cost, so I did not choose it because of that. I know the team wants to explore more complex post-production ideas in the future, so I say, absolutely keep this one in your back pocket for when the studio has a tiny bit more budget and would be able to take on such a project. The second one is really nice for the small studio format. I feel like it's possible to do this one with limited budget and locations/costumes/makeup and all, and it's definitely a strong choice too. I almost chose it. That being said, when I saw the 3rd one, I couldn't resist. The potential for complexity of character development and touching storyline is really really appealing. I love the insertion of humor in drama. A Little Miss Sunshine about grief. I'm in!

Imogen Heiden

If they stay so close they should do another pole just with Unrealized and Ashes to Ashes

Bryan Hughes

Such a tough choice! And I second the idea of doing a runoff poll (says the guy who didn't vote for either of the the two front-runners)

Nacho Franco

Ashes to Ashes sounds even better if you know Alan. Seems like a very personal movie for him, so there goes my vote

Nicole Robertson

This was definitely a tough choice for me, because I like the concepts behind MeetU and Ashes to Ashes equally well! Honestly, if either one of those got made first I'd be very happy. (To my mind, MeetU has the potential to be absolutely hilarious - in a dark and dystopian kinda way, which I'm all about. However, I also think that Ashes to Ashes has the potential to give viewers a nearly perfect blend of good therapy and good storytelling, if that makes sense? Decisions, decisions...)

The Tallest Tree

I think the top 2 should have a separate poll to get the most accurate understanding of everyone's preferences. Effectively becoming a 'Single Transferrable Vote' model. Like as things are now it's clear MeetU is losing, but do the MeetU voters prefer Ashes to Ashes or Unrealized? Because if you add the 23% vote share to either of the other options, they'd win by a landslide. Cheers.

TPK

I get the runoff idea. But as a person who suggested one of the ideas in the ‘final 3’, I think we should let whoever wins, win. I think ALL of the ideas submitted have awesome potential. They are all fantastic ideas. And just because one wins, does not mean that others can’t, or won’t be made, or are lesser ideas if they aren’t made. They’re all awesome ideas, and the three chosen to be voted on are all great in their own right or they wouldn’t be being voted on. I personally love the idea of us looking at all of the ideas and ultimately choosing one to be made. Unrealized is such a fantastic idea. I love how the unrealized potential of each character plays into their personalities as they try to ultimately find fulfillment in a world they’re trying to fit into. Meet U is also an awesome idea. In this day and age of online dating who can’t see themselves in unfulfilling online engagements with what feels like, and maybe is only scripted situations? And Ashes to Ashes. Damn, who can’t see themselves trying to come to terms with the death of loved ones while becoming fully actualized people with their sanity still mildly intact while traversing a black comedy of errors? It’s all very human. It’s all very real. Maybe it’s easier for me to say as one who wrote an idea being voted on, but let the chips fall where they may. It will never change how good, how real, or how fantastic any of these ideas are. They’re all beyond fantastic or we wouldn’t be voting on them to begin with. Either way we all win because all of the ideas presented are winners in my eyes. The creativity of the people here is beyond astounding and I’m just happy to be here. And whatever is ultimately made will be awesome.

Caleb Holt-Fitzgerald

I had a hard decision between ashes to ashes and Unrealized, I second the runoff poll

Valerie Cepero

If it were 1-2% of a difference, a runoff might make sense, but this seems decisive as of now.

TheRentFan

Dangit, I want both Unrealized and MeetU! I love how inspired Alan got.

Larry Garfield

This should have been a Ranked Choice Voting poll. :-)

Lyndis Cealin

For everyone who is bummed about Unrealized not making the cut - if you like reading, try the Simon Snow Trilogy (yes, it even has the vampire the chosen one tries to kill)
