Dust - scifi shorts on YouTube

[eltawater]

I hope the YouTube links are ok here, I wasn't sure whether this belonged in the Youtube thread as it's really a big collection of independent films.

I stumbled upon this YouTube channel a few weeks back and haven't been able to find it on the PH search, apologies if this is already being discussed somewhere.

It's a collection of Science Fiction shorts along the lines of Black Mirror and Electric Dreams but made by different film makers from what I can gather. They remind me of the OATS Studios volumes which appear to have gone very quiet.

Strong themes on AI, time travel and a bit of twisted futures along with the usual interstellar stuff.

As they all seem to be independently made the directorial style varies quite a lot but all seem to have a decent level of polish.

I'm enjoying some more than others but have really only just scratched the surface on the playlist.

This recently popped up in my FB feed as my nephew follows them, I haven't got round to watching any yet though, I must fix that.
