Of The Earth (O.T.E), an intriguing short film written and directed by Jacob Motz.  In it, Mikey (Tyler Rossell), a boy of just seven years of age, finds himself in a post-apocalyptic world in which all adults have been killed in a pandemic. Yet, wrapped in the protective shield of innocence, Mikey manages to preserve a sense of normality.

The young boy is left to fend for himself and is later confronted by a mysterious boy and must decide who he is and whether he is a friend or foe.

Tyler Rossell as Mikey
Liam Walker as Will

12 mins | short, drama | USA | English | 1280 x 720

bowser  you're Welcome!
A mystery short for sure. One of my guesses is that both
boys were ghosts that didn't know they were dead.   Grin

Hmm. . . Very interesting! 
Both boys were ghosts and didn't
know it.  I like that interpretation.



I had a totally different take on the film.

That's what I like about films such as this,
it's completely up to the viewer to determine
the meaning.

If you haven't seen the film stop, go watch it, then come back



When Will (played by Liam Walker - the older boy) showed up in the film,
it struck me that he was going to be kind of a Tyler Durden type character.
You know from the film Fight Club (1999).  I thought that he was
just a figment of Mikey's (played by Tyler Rossell) imagination.
The character of Will was kind of mysterious.


But then later on in the film toward the end I changed my mind and thought,
no what's going on is this: Mikey is dead and he doesn't know that he's
dead.  Will is some kind of guide, come to show Mickey 'the way to the other
side'.  Maybe Will was the 'Angel of Death' appearing as a little boy so as
not to frighten Mikey.

Of course the film ends without resolution, so we're open to our own
individual interpretations.    Cool

bowser interesting insight. I think you might be correct in some of your thoughts but like you said everyone will reach
their own conclusion.   Cool
