More About "Imminent Arrival":
Richard James, AKA "Reaper Rick," is a simple Red-blooded, paranoid, country man. His long history of Military Service has taught him to never trust the government, pushing him to live out his days in the country, off of the grid. Other than his religious viewership of his favorite cable news network, his only other connection to the outside world is through his good buddy, "Squinty Joe," who he only keeps in contact through HAM Radio. The two of them engage daily about the latest wild conspiracy theories, further exacerbating and shaping their views on the world. The two are constantly trying to one-up each other, bragging about who has the latest gear or best doomsday prep. In their minds, the apocalypse is right around the corner so it only makes sense to have a solid plan. In this Sci-fi Dramedy short film, we follow a day in the life of Rick as his intense paranoia becomes a reality during one of the strangest days of his life!

I love how despite all the advanced technology of the drone, it still throws the package on the ground

From the overly paranoid dude to ordering the helmet and the drone trying to identify him, how in tarnation did I not see that coming! Everything in movies has a purpose, especially in short films! You guys got me good. Well played. Great cgi and acting, costumes and sets. Solid 9 out of 10.

The door falling back into the house after he carefully opens it and walks out was the icing on the cake.

Am i the only one that loves the "spamazon primo" bit π

That was hysterical. I've known a few guys like him. This is what good Sci-fi should look like.
-
Did not see the package arriving as the punchline, very good, very funny! Well done guys.

"I like to consider myself a pretty good shot" unloads 3 mags on the walls and ceiling never laying eyes on target
-
This was surprisingly unexpected from the usual ominous or sinister shorts. Great comedy. A favorite. π
-
Stunningly good. Extra shout out to: trigger discipline, and INDOOR GUNFIRE SOUND. Way to nail what half-billion dollar movies miss!
-
I laughed so hard I couldn't believe it! It should get an award! Loved it! glenn

One of the issues with short films in general, NOT ALL, but especially when it's low budget, new filmmakers etc.. is that everyone wants to make that serious dramatic thought provoking short that really holds a mirror up to ....... blah blah blah ... but somewhere along the way we forgot to be entertained. This was entertaining. And didn't take itself too serious. THANK GOD. Very well done guys. π
-
This was hilarious! That ending was totally unexpected.
-
Awesome effort all around. Special kudos to the team who put together the buiilding falling apart to catch the comedic timing of the script. Well done. :)

And The Award Goes To ... " EmptyCanFilms" for the outstanding creativity, special effects, casting, humor, in Sci-Fi Short Film production. π π π π π - π

I expected the delivery from the moment the order was made. A further irony could have been that, instead of it being a mind protection helmet, it was actually a mind control device.

Absolutely loved this. From him taking a swig from his spit bottle ( I have seen that happen ) to destroying his home. Remember, if a droid kind enough to ring the doorbell then chances are you are not a danger, except from yourself ;-)

Imagine living in a society that paints people who think outside the box as crazy or insane

THIS is why Amazon drones will NEVER work.
