I really enjoyed this - pleasantly surprised. Your main character shows so much depth here and I really loved how the concept of time is played with given that Alzheimer patients don't have one anymore.

Natalie T.

You guys are very unique, or your mission is. And the movie could be emotional and imaginative.

Doug M.
Posted 5 months ago

Interesting to say the least:) it's definitely challenging editing the mental and the physical realms together, but you did! And it was clear and cohesive. Well done! I really hope you get to make this film!

Sarah A.

Very interesting. Good job on the mission

It was a sad way of looking at Alzheimer's, at least from the POV of the person with the disease.

Mack B.
Posted 5 months ago

A lot of my friends are dealing with problems like this so I know that this is a relevant issue. I really enjoyed this one.

AJ J.

fascinating. This film needs to be produced. I could watch these types of sequences all day. The actor is fantastic

looking back at the trailer it reminds me so much of one of my favorite directors Terence malick who at first when one looks at this film, it seems to be all over the place but in reality there is a rhyme or reason to the visuals, camera movements, sounds and even back ground, clothes and lighting color schemes.
great concept, great ideas equals great film.

Touching subject ther spotless speechless mind of a elderly man ...dreams can come true in his dreams for he will be free of his mind loss, reminds me of sunshine -Maybe the thing that could happen is that they tragecally die in there sleep bond to be together in enternal bliss.

This is not my favourite film as I already wrote a movie with the same title! But good luck anyways!

Maikol P.
Posted 6 months ago

It's also already a written word in the spanish language. :)

Movie titles don't always mean that the stories are the same. Direction and results will always vary.

But It's like what they always say... You shouldn't judge a book by it's cover, or in this case, a film by it's title.

Lindsey D.

Pulls at the heart strings!! I love this scene. At the top of my project list. I love what you guys have going on here.

Maikol P.
Posted 6 months ago

Thanks Lindsey! We are definitely something unique that will be emotional and imaginative. We hope we get your continued support going forward! Gracias!

Dawn E.
Posted 6 months ago

This is one of my favorite projects. This really makes you feel for the characters and how devastating this disease can be.

Maikol P.
Posted 6 months ago

Thank you Dawn. We sure hope to capture the emotional struggles that occur in such tragic situations, but we also want to give the audience a glimpse of the wonder that we can still experience if we were able to create such a machine.

Jean Marc S.
Posted 6 months ago

Makes me want to see the movie. I love the trailer and love the Speechless video too. Looking forward to seeing what else this team has to offer!

Jamie M.
Posted 6 months ago

Thank you Jean Marc!

Maikol P.
Posted 6 months ago

We'll keep working hard passed the TOP 15. We really want to make it to the top and be a proud representative of Canadian cinema, sparking the imaginations not just of Canadians, but of people all over the world who can relate to the project. Thank you Jean Marc!

Kristi H.

Speechless mission has left me speechless!! Excited to see how this film works out. Good luck Team!

Jamie M.
Posted 6 months ago

Perfectly worded :) Thank you Kristi!

Jonah G.
Posted 6 months ago

Your actors do a great job in this video despite having no words to use. Acting with their eyes and expressions are the essence of film acting.

Jamie M.
Posted 6 months ago

Thank you very much Jonah! Maikol is an excellent director, and works very closely with the actors to get across emotions!

Dean S.
Posted 6 months ago

This is a pretty bold clip - I think you subject matter urges you to be unconventional and take some risks. It's paying off.

Jamie M.
Posted 6 months ago

Thank you Dean! That means a lot! We try to think out of the box.

Paula M.
Posted 6 months ago

The only thing that I'm not sure that fit was him falling onto and then crawling on the floor. Everything else flowed well.

Jamie M.
Posted 6 months ago

Thanks for your input Paula!

Maikol P.
Posted 6 months ago

We felt that falling and struggling was the best way to represent the emotion in a purely visual way. Even if we could have used words, I still would have stuck to the scene and left it as is, because we connect more with the story as it's told through its visuals, not through it's words. Thank you for commenting Paula, and thanks for watching! :)

Toussaint D.
Posted 6 months ago

The jump from the sea to the room was a little too sudden for me. Other than that, very nice video.

Jamie M.
Posted 6 months ago

Thank you for your input Toussaint! We are constantly working to improve so your words will be considered!

Alexis L.
Posted 6 months ago

Looking forward to more videos from your team. There is so much to learn from the people around us. Keep it up.

Jamie M.

Thank you Alexis! Very true!

Charles B.
Posted 6 months ago

This makes me feel sorry for both the father and the daughter. Great job on bringing something so difficult to the screen.

Jamie M.
Posted 6 months ago

Thank you Charles! It means a lot to hear your reaction!

Zach H.
Posted 6 months ago

I think in addition to making this so compelling in terms of character you have also shot this really well.

Jamie M.
Posted 6 months ago

Great to hear Zach. Thank you for your support!

Kevin L.
Posted 6 months ago

Disorientation is definitely the word here - very well constructed to create that effect. It's scary that people go through this and never come back.

Jamie M.
Posted 6 months ago

Thank you for your feedback Kevin! That is definitely the goal of this scene.

Ellie T.
Posted 6 months ago

The video was very disorienting. As you try to grapple with the various things going on in the character's head, you start to feel as disoriented as him. Nicely done.

Jamie M.
Posted 6 months ago

Thank you Ellie. We're glad to hear your reaction!

Matthew J.

The jump from the sea to the room was a little too sudden for me. Other than that, very nice video.

Michael I.
Posted 6 months ago

The feeling of a state of perpetual disorientation despite the warmth of family and home makes this so compelling.

Jamie M.
Posted 6 months ago

Thank you Michael! It's really great to hear your reaction!

George D.
Posted 6 months ago

Really great editing here makes it come together so well. Sound design also makes a bug difference for sure. Nice work.

Jamie M.

Thanks for your support George!

Sierra T.
Posted 6 months ago

Amazing how day to day sounds can become so unsettling in a different context. Nice video. Would love to see more.

Jamie M.
Posted 6 months ago

Thank you Sierra!

Elayne T.
Posted 6 months ago

Good job with this video. I think it is a tragic disease, and even though it is a fiction, you are increasing awareness through your portrayal.

Jamie M.
Posted 6 months ago

Thank you Elayne! That is one of our goals, we are so happy to be able to spread awareness of the disease through this platform.

Dug R.
Posted 6 months ago

I think you really get us into the character's fractured and fragmented mental state with this. Very well edited.

Jamie M.
Posted 6 months ago

Thank you Dug!

Crystal D.
Posted 6 months ago

There are many movies out there about Alzheimer's and they were good as is this - not bad at all just not unique

Jamie M.
Posted 6 months ago

Thanks for your input Crystal. As the project develops the content that we generate evolves. We are quite confident that Memoria will be very unique!

Out of curiosity, what Alzheimer's films are you referring to?

Becky D.
Posted 6 months ago

I'm very confused by this one but the use of the sound effects is very intriguing and the acting looks good.

Jamie M.
Posted 6 months ago

Thanks for your input Becky. The goal of this clip is in some ways to disorient the audience, similarly to how those with alzheimer's interact with their everyday lives.

Jeffrey C.
Posted 6 months ago

I really liked how well the edit between the beach and the house conveyed the disconnect the character is experiencing.

Jamie M.

Vincent B.

This is really effective at building the psychological tension and emotional pain that are at the heart of Memoria

Maikol P.
Posted 6 months ago

Thank you Vincent. Memoria is sure to be a film that contains many layers of psychological and emotional aspects.

Siluck S.
Posted 6 months ago

Very powerful, poetic and jarring scene. I Think you find a perfect balance here and give us an excellent piece of your movie.

Maikol P.
Posted 6 months ago

Thank you Siluck. We knew this scene would allow us to show that this film is more than just about using a machine to access our dreams and memories, but rather an intimate story about the lives and relationships of characters.

mark m.
Posted 6 months ago

You guys rose to the challenge here. Did you use new footage or was this part of the material you shot for the teaser?

Maikol P.
Posted 6 months ago

This was all re-shot on the week the challenge was assigned. What we did try doing was to achieve the exact same look and feel from the shots that were seen in the original conceot trailer. If you look closely at the trailer's "tea" scene, you'll notice the differences. Thanks Mark! Check out our other mission videos too!

Glen M.
Posted 6 months ago

It's tough to be sensitive to an illness like this without descending into melodrama. I think you did a good job here.

Maikol P.
Posted 6 months ago

Thank you Glen. It is very tough portraying such a topic, not only it being melodramatic can be a problem to the film, but one can find themselves misrepresenting and disrespecting those who do live with the disease, which isnsomething we are making sure that doesn't happen in Memoria.

Jack W.
Posted 6 months ago

I really enjoyed this tease of your movie. I think you gave us a good sense of the character's frustation, and a picture of how it must seem mentally.

Jamie M.
Posted 6 months ago

Thank you Jack!

Joe M.
Posted 6 months ago

Ready made for a Speechless mission as so much of memory loss in tied directly to a lack of communication. Wonderful.

Maikol P.
Posted 6 months ago

Thank you Joe! I am happy that you enjoyed our Speechless mission!

Andrew C.
Posted 6 months ago

Very compelling vision here. You've chosen a powerful topic but you're also showing some very effective ways of making it work on the viewer too.

Maikol P.
Posted 6 months ago

I always strive for creating experiences, because it's something all humans can relate to. By creating am experience, you fully envelope the viewer with the idea amd feeling that is being portrayed. Thanks Andrew!

greg c.
Posted 6 months ago

This is a great illustration of the emotional core of your project. You conveyed the pain and frustration for everyone in the scene.

Jamie M.
Posted 6 months ago

Thank you for your great support Greg!

Adam T.
Posted 6 months ago

This is a very powerful clip. I think it conveys what it might feel like to be unable to keep track of events and actions, plus the emotional turmoil it causes.

Maikol P.
Posted 6 months ago

Thanks Adam! Hope you enjoy the rest of our clips, be sure to check out our 'Genesis' and 'Hype It' clips!

Kevin C.

Really amazing job on this mission! It creates tension and is quite surreal in a way. Really excited to see more!

Jamie M.

Thank you Kevin!

Wendy G.
Posted 6 months ago

This was well thought out. Altzeimers is awful and I think you did your best to capture it. Lighting not great but the scene was good

Maikol P.
Posted 6 months ago

Perhaps a little over exposed in a douple of shots. But i feel that the natural lighting makes the story feel more real. I was never to fond of films where the light is looking way too perfect. Thank you for watching Wendy, be sure to check out our Genesis, Off The Wall, Cheap Tricks, and Hype It videos!

Effective, clear and unique approach to the experience of memory (or lack thereof). Very well realized!

Ken A.

There is a maturity to this segment. It feels real. It touches us.

Maikol P.
Posted 6 months ago

Thank you for commenting Ken. I felt this segment would give the audience a good taste on the emotional notes that we'll hit in the film. More to come!

Alex P.
Posted 7 months ago

Really great use of the sounds and build up for the tension in this scene! Keep going strong, it's looking great.

Bari D.
Posted 7 months ago

Well done - thank you. It really does relate to a patient with Alzheimer's. My grandfather also had this disease.

Maikol P.
Posted 6 months ago

We wanted to make sure that the scene is something that captures the struggle of both characters, without disrespecting or representing the topic in a negative way. Thank you for sharing your thoughts Bari.

Bari D.
Posted 6 months ago

Thank you

Lena D.
Posted 7 months ago

I can personally relate to this and really enjoyed the trailer and this scene. There's a lot of room here. Nice.

Jamie M.
Posted 6 months ago

Thank you Lena. So great to have your support!

Jacki R.
Posted 7 months ago

Very well done. This definitely had an impact on me. My Grandmother had Alzheimer's for many before she passed away. I've also worked with many adults with disabilities who experience the world around them differently than most other people. This gives you some genuine insight into a mind that may be short circuiting, or slipping away, or that might only hold onto, or focus on certain sights, or sounds, or memories. Intense, and moving.

Maikol P.
Posted 6 months ago

Thank you Jacki. To be able to tranlsate what someone might feel like when going through an experience such as Alzheimer's would be difficult, seeing as to how many of us will never truly understand what that's like. Emotions are what we can relate to the most, which was done in a visually and auditory way in these scene. Perhaps one day in the future, we may gain a better understanding of these different ways of perception and experience, so that way people may communicate with their loved ones again.

Kari W.
Posted 7 months ago

i felt the emotion was very well played off in this scene but i was a little scrambled on to the cuts with in it

Maikol P.
Posted 6 months ago

Although the dynamic cutting was meant to create a visually dynamic scene, along with creating the right emotion we wanted to convey, it was very tough getting this down to 1:30 exactly. Perhaps with a bit of time, I would have slowed some segments down. But all in all, I am very happy with how these scene was constructed. Thank you for your comments Kari, very appreciated.

Peter M.

This is an interesting plot like and very difficult to tackle. Psychological impacting diseases are quite person specific. I wonder how this one will be presented.

Jamie M.

Thank you for your support Peter! We hope to convey as many dimensions of the disease as we can with the final film.

Phil B.

Maikol P.

Patrick C.
Posted 7 months ago

I am a fan of this film, but this mission video was not the best. Chopping and changing I wasn't sure what was going on or what it was meant to be. As a concept trailer maybe, but not a scene from the film. Too confusing. I hope the project keeps going to the next stage though.

Jamie M.
Posted 6 months ago

Thank you for your feedback Patrick. This scene was intended to convey the disorientation that those suffering alzheimer's experience, and thus disorient the audience at the same time to mirror that feeling.

Jason L.

Very nice guys. I really liked this idea from the very start and now I am even more on board to see where it goes. You guys did an awesome job with this scene! I look forward to seeing how this relatable theme develops, especially the relationship between the man and young daughter. I think this concept will continue to be really effective especially with a bigger budget. It is a very compelling and powerful story with beautiful editing and the score was really really well done, so I wish you all the best of luck! – Carley from Panic and Run

Interesting concept and style. I am thinking this will lead to a sad ending. Or will it? It is had to say.

Maikol P.

I cannot say at all either sadly. It's just something that will have to be experienced first hand as a viewer. Regardless of the ending, it's the journey in this film that makes it all the more interesting. Thank you for watching No.

Monique M.

I think the void of dialogue further supports the storyline, I think you've shown that memory is in itself an extended sense we don't realize, but would be greatly effected by if loss. Good Job guys, I also love the kettle whistle.

Jamie M.

!! That's really awesome feedback Monique. Thank you!

Deff one of the best concepts for a film. I wish I came up with it. Good job on being speeechlesssss

Maikol P.
Posted 6 months ago

I've had plenty of those moments where I felt like that. Such as with films like The Fountain, and 2001: A Space Odyssey.

But it's all the more challenging and fun to come up with something that is powerful amd unique! Thanks for commenting Branden, hope you enjoy the rest of our work!

Wow. Way to capture so many different sounds. Each containing so much meaning, while successfully pulling one into a world of confusion and chaos.

Thank you Dawn! That was exactly the intent of the video!

This scene was intelligently done. The loop was a great way to illustrate the state of mind of the main character. I can only imagine what else this film has in store, given that this scene seems to only be the tip of the iceberg!

Amazing how you guys portrayed the struggles involved with Alzheimers through just simple movements.
Loved how the camera work accented upon this.
I guess sometimes actions speak louder than words.

I gotta say, I really love all the different interpretations of the scene people are leaving in the comments, they're really interesting to read!

Maikol P.
Posted 6 months ago

Indeed. It's always neat to see that people react in the way the way you want them to, but it's just as interesting to see people react or interpret things differently, which adds more levels of meaning and dimension to the film.

Loved this concept since the beginning. A good job weaving real/not real/past/present together for a scary scenario that we all fear. #i90Army

Thank you Allan! It was a fun excersize to mentally contruct the scene. Difficult but it pays off in the end when the final product is being put together. Thanks!

Nikola R.

also I liked the how you got the coffee to move like that its really well written and really well done.

Maikol P.
Posted 6 months ago

It definetely helped to add drama and tension to see it move before the actual fall. In a wayv it makes the experience s,ightly more violent and scary because of the effect it has on the surrounding environment. Thanks Nikola.

Interesting to say the least:) it's definitely challenging editing the mental and the physical realms together, but you did! And it was clear and cohesive. Well done!

Really liked the transition from the seashore to home which was reinforced well with the cutaway to the dish of sea shells.

Had to watch the trailer a couple of times to figure out the scene where he was crawling on the floor at first I didn't figure it out but realized it symbolizes his attempts to escape his body. Well done! Better not to spoon feed the audience like they do in Hollywood movies!

Congratulations!

Jamie M.
Posted 6 months ago

Thank you so much for your input Kevin. We really love that you are analyzing the symbolism, maybe there are even more meanings than that!

Mikaela C.

Really beautiful, guys. The crescendo of the soundscape with the score was super effective and I could really feel the desperation of the father trying to keep it together. You stayed within 90 seconds AND you communicated a full, moving narrative! Kudos. - Team Rabbit

Jamie M.

Richmain Y.

Very well done, especially the part first part where the transition was just great. The sound effects really helps in giving the feeling of confusion in the character. totally awesome editing with the sound effects, thumbs up.

Maikol P.
Posted 7 months ago

Sound helps to convey emotions and textures to an audience. It really adds visual and audio depth to the overall experience of watching a film. Thanks for watching our project Richmain!

Marc D.

I found the flashes of the father crawling across the floor confusing. I'm not sure if they will play into another part of the story that will explain their relevance, or if you were just trying to create a certain feeling with these shots, but they didn't make sense to me. Kudos for taking on such a serious topic and doing it so well.

Maikol P.
Posted 7 months ago

Confusion is one of the ideas we were trying to bring across into these scene. It's always difficult to try and convey such an idea other than having the character say "I'm confused." It just wouldn't be as interesting or engaging for the audience. Thank you for taking the time to comment Mark! We hope you enjoy the rest of our project.

Afzal H.
Posted 7 months ago

What an amazing job! This was seriously intense. You guys were able to draw the audience in, right from the beginning - love the first edit of the "shoulder tap" - it's the inciting incident, it's what tell your everything about the subject, it's what sets the tone. I can't say enough about your amazing ability to tell this story. It really made me feel how the subject was feeling and how confusing his world was. Usually these kinds of stories end up as some weird form of "abstract art" but here you have proved yourself that you are great storytellers! BRAVO!!!

Maikol P.
Posted 7 months ago

Wow thank you! We hope to bring this film to life. Thank you for your support Afzal.

Jordan N.
Posted 7 months ago

what I take away from the trailer and this speechless trailer is that the characters are trying to connect with the father, as we is out of their reach even though he is right there but I wonder is the father going to die in the end, but happy that he could interact though his dreams to his family!!!!! This is one of the few trailers I want to see in the top 5 #bemoving

Maikol P.
Posted 7 months ago

We are glad you are relating to the trailer! Thank you for your support Jordan! We will do our best to make it top the last stage!

Tyler S.
Posted 7 months ago

That was very well executed and moving. The first cut was very powerful in letting the viewer get an idea of what it could be like to experience the world from another persons mental state.

Maikol P.
Posted 7 months ago

Capturing everyone's attention right off the bat was extremely important. It causes people to be drawn in and to want to know what else happens in the following 1min 20seconds. Thank you for sharing your thoughts Tyler.

Rudy H.

Powerful message, powerful execution.

Maikol P.

We definetely felt that the scene neded to last a lasting impression on the audience, and we are glad to see that is the case. Thank you for commenting Rudy!

Craig T.

Good addition to the the first part. love it.

Maikol P.
Posted 7 months ago

Expanding one of the earlier scenes from the trailer proved an effective way to start the audoence off with something slightly familiar. It's extra work to make sure that scenes feel like they belong in the same world, which I feel was done well here too. Thanks for sharing Craig!

Keith F.

Alzheimer's is such a horrible disease, this is portrayed well, I like what you have done here so far.

Maikol P.
Posted 7 months ago

It's always a fine line in trying to present subject matter like this without exploiting those who do suffer from Alzheimer's everyday. We'll always make sure our portrayals and treatment of the story are respectful. Thank you for commenting Keith! Hope you'll enjoy our future videos.

Nice effects, kettle sound was well placed, overall it doesn't really grab me and the older man seems to overact a bit

Maikol P.
Posted 7 months ago

Thanks for the comments Lynda. We were trying to have the audience step into the mind of someone who lives with Alzheimers. What parts exactly did you feel that were overracted in this scene?

Yamini C.

Maikol P.

Sound was very important in conveying the emotions of the moment. Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for commenting :)

The saying: "a picture is worth a 1000 words" definitely applies to this clip. I enjoyed the portrayal parallel between our reality and that of a sick mind.

Maikol P.
Posted 7 months ago

Glad you feel that way about this scene! We hope to make this film an interesting experience using all these elements that are connected to Alzheimer's and dreams.

Ella P.

This scene is very impressive. I love the drama and sense of chaos created by the whistling kettle. Though my favourite aspect of scene is the fact that the old man does not see anyone in the chair even though she is there. Also, at this point the kettle whistles the loudest and seems to really represent the frustration felt by those taking care/living with someone in that condition. The images in your 1.5min video conveyed more than words could in an entire movie. Very well done.

Maikol P.
Posted 7 months ago

I enjoyed the scene but given that I'm an organizing freak I most enjoyed your photo of the script and story boards. I love seeing people you have their 'shit' together :)

Maikol P.

Some of the most rewarding experiences come from the actual creative processes that take place before filming. Envisioning everything beforehand really allows for a solid foundation as to the direction of the story. Thanks Natalia!

Powerful. You've succeeded in making me want to find out what's going on in this man's mind. Not sure how she can help him though, or if any of it is real.

Stuart P.

Very interesting your perspective of what goes on in someones minds who's suffering from Alzheimer's, the different possibilities versus reality.

Maikol P.

Ultimately, we could only imagine what it's truly like, but we hope we capture a certain emotion that would stay with the audience after they've watched the scene. Thanks for the comment!
