VESTIGE | Omeleto
A young boy discovers a strange fossil that holds the key to his father's disappearance.
VESTIGE is used with permission from Static Flow Productions. Learn more at staticflowproductions.com.
Lucas's father disappeared by the sea when he was younger, and Lucas is still haunted by the loss. He listens repeatedly to the cassette tapes where his father recorded his thoughts, and he revisits the places his father used to go.
One day, visiting a cave by the sea that his father once explored, Lucas comes across a strange fossil. He takes the fossil home, setting off a chain of eerie moments and clues -- one that might lead to solving the mystery of his father's disappearance.
Directed by Joe Simmons from a script co-written with Gudni Lindal Benediktsson, this atmospheric horror short is one boy's journey to unravel the mystery of a defining absence of his life. Lucas's father walked into the sea, and Lucas has been in his grandfather's care since. His life is a quiet and solitary one, captured in misty, beautifully bleak cinematography. These melancholic visuals also suit the seashore where Lucas likes to roam. It's where his father used to go, as revealed by the audio journals that Lucas listens to on old cassette tapes.
Lucas discovers a strange fossil in a cave by the ocean, it seems to unlock new dimensions of the mystery surrounding his father's disappearance. Strange things begin to happen that indicate his father may have been transmuted into some kind of supernatural presence, a possibility that Lucas can't help but hope for and pursue.
The hints and clues accumulate for both Lucas and the viewer, and though they're increasingly ominous, Lucas is driven for any insight into his father and the choices he made. Young actor Ben Hackett's sensitive, self-contained performance is resolutely restrained, hinting at the loneliness and emptiness that young Lucas feels in his parent's absence, despite his well-adjusted demeanor. This inner void within him responds to the tantalizing possibility of communing with his father in any way possible.
Visually stunning, poetic and then hair-raisingly eerie, VESTIGE ends with a remarkably imagined scene that is sinister, ethereal and achingly emotional all at once for Lucas. The film is true to the dictates of its horror genre in the end, but it resonates beyond fear and dread because of its darkly luminous images and its tender evocation of a bereft young child haunted by loss. Lucas's life is shaped by his father's absence, leaving a hole within himself. He will do anything to fill that hole, traveling to even the darkest corners for any hope of sensing his presence again.

TIME TRAVELING THROUGH TIME | Omeleto
Congrats to all involved! It kept me interested from beginning to end, although I was expecting a more spiritual take as in his dad was really talking to him but after the hand hurting him it hinted something more sinister was about to happen. What happened to his mum? And I take the only survivor is the dog.
Incredibly powerful. Makes one grateful for what they have. Having perspective is a gift.
You can see some of those "corpses" moving around in the church pews at the end there.
Did you know In the movie JADA
😢😢😢😢😢😢
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Beautiful film and wonderful actresses 😎
Joe List being cool 😎
This was funny 🤣
Awesome acting performances from everyone in the cast and great writing about human struggles and experiences.
Emmi Shockley you KILLED IT 🔥
The kid's brother is awesome 😎
Awesome acting performances from everyone in the cast and great writing 😎
Awesome acting performances from everyone in the cast and writing 😎. VFX and music was DOPE 🔥
It’s amazing that such an intimate scene like this has 30+ credits at the end.
Interestingly, I believe it was N.T. Wright (of all people!!) who said he has spoken in tongues.
When you get to the end of the movie re watch the beginning phone conversation with fresh eyes.
I can’t figure this out…
6:50 I hated working at the gym and seeing the trainers work people to the point they refused to come back. That’s not how you motivate someone to work out. I literally saw this happen so many times in real life in real time. I would ask them how their free session went and they would tell me they probably won’t be back, it was too intense. I told my boss/owner also who was an ex coworker I left my job to go work for, and he dismissed me. Let’s say they are no longer there.
Anyone who looks down on a heavy set person in the gym is the scum of the earth. Whenever I see someone heavy set running, I just wanna stop and scream, KEEP GOING. I lost 100+ pounds since 2017 and wish a mf would have looked down on me or said something disrespectful. I love seeing people succeed, no matter what the situation or obstacle is.
All i can afford is THANK YOU! 😢
Very well explained job person's life
Can anyone tell me the song at the end?
This is based on a true story?
I thumbs downed this and still hate it all these years later going through my lists of shorts
For every corporate worker 👍🏻
Why didn’t he skated after 5:30pm🤔🤔
this one is underestimated! it should have much more views
I’ve watched this several times already before commenting lol ❤️ Love anything with a time-travel element & this was great 👍🏻👍🏻
In parts of the United States we now have these things called Lot Cops. They look a little bit like those speed limit trailers that they put on the side of the road that tell you how fast you're going, but what they actually are is a camera system and a series of license plate readers, with a PA system that is supposed to be monitored by a law enforcement professional. There's a sign next to it that says you must obey all commands that come out of this thing. It's also tied into a network of cameras and license plate readers at every intersection. Through software our movements are constantly being monitored and routines are being logged. Anytime we go out of this routine we're flagged... These things went up overnight without anybody voting on them or anybody noticing. Most people don't even know they're there. It's like they reduce our freedoms one tiny freedom at a time so that we don't notice. It's like they said here : "wow things sure have changed".... "We hardly noticed". Seriously people wake up! NOTICE!
I've just seen her in "Them". cannot forget her.
This is what happened with the salaried employee.. 🥹😢😥
@ 4:22 It flet like some kind of invisible wall of separation between him & them. Dude who was working: 'i'm working' than one of his friends : "is even anyone watching you?" That Literally blew my mind away.
Wonderful!
I, for one, will not go quietly!
Lovely film
This film brought me to tears. When the girl said "HOME", I lost it😭 I love the perseverance and resilience of my Vietnamese people❤ Fisherman brother and his sister deserve an Oscar nod.
Disagree!!!
I knew I was right!
Her knocking the glass off killed me
may be this short film shows msg that if you can't come out of box or you are stay within the borders, you are getting older n older fast..
I thought this was gonna be about how we all process grief differently and how we should try and allow people to deal with it in their own way...
Thank you I really enjoyed that.,, you really hit all the right notes🎉❤😂 Cheers friends
Thank you for watching!
