Hiya everyone I suffer from Aspergers and have been a member of this site for a while now but sorry to say I don't contribute a great deal to the forums but every so often I do. Been through a lot of late but anyway I have created a great little movie based on the future and time travel with some surreal horror. Its mainly influenced by the work of david lynch but still holds a lot of me within it. Its also very art film style like me really. Please watch it anyway I hope you will enjoy it.

Please feel free to give me your take on the film and even if you don't like it please give me some heavy criticism if you need to.

I'm terribly sorry, but I'm not sure I get the point.

I like the mood you set up in the beginning with the air raid siren and the lonely empty streets. I also like the choice of music in the first half as it gives a strangely upbeat and comic tone to the weird, surreal situation.

But I don't find the film satisfying on the whole. I honestly don't know what to make of the story. I think that there are some nice bits in it but it leaves me wanting something more.

I like the photography and the choice to shoot in black and white. There are definitely some interesting choices here and I'd be interested in seeing your future projects.

Your right the film is very obscure mainly due to the fact that I wanted it to be more like a visual art film or a moving painting. Lurking within the film does lie a lot of deep messages but unfortunately many will find such things hard to reach. I could sit here writing loads about the films concept blablabla but I don't really see the point. I would prefer it to be open to interpretation and If people can't associate with it then that's what happens with all films I guess. The film itself doesn't try to reach people its a personal dream or mental vision I alone lived with and luckily got the chance to turn into film.

I have many more mental visions ready to put into dreams and my secret is this. I believe that everywhere on earth a film can be made. Imagination plays a key here and I often dream up imaginary events that can happen anywhere. I don't write films either I envision them through mental simulation and hallucination. My two tools are my mind and a camera which gives me a even stronger glimpse of the vision and prospective. If anyone goes on my Facebook group ILSON 2060 you can see how I did the comic like photographic script and also see photography of the film being made.

I will also point out how I merged the film Eraserhead into my own reality with this film and thats where the black and white aesthetics were used so thanks for liking them.

A subconscious art film nothing more
