Black Button - Short Film

-YouTube Awards 2007 - Top Six Finalist, Best Short Film
-WINNER: Fitzroy Short Film Festival (Melb, Aus)
-WINNER: DearCinemaFest Short Film Festival (Int.)
and more...

Mr Roberts finds himself awoken inexplicably in a white room. A man sits before him at a desk and in between them stands a black button. If Mr Roberts pushes it, he will receive a briefcase filled with millions of dollars. Or he can take the key to the door and leave penniless. The catch? Pushing the button will result in the death of a human being. What would you do?

EDIT 1: Some people have observed a similarity in the premise of this film and an revival episode of The Twilight Zone in 1986. Please note (1) We had never seen the episode and only learned of it long after we'd finished the film. (2) The Twilight Zone weren't the first to do it. There was a short story before that, which was in turn based on an old premise called the 'Faustian Bargain', around since the 16th century (deal with the 'devil'). An almost identical premise exists in several cultures. Richard Kelly is even making a film with this premise called 'The Box'. (3) Our film is similar in premise, but different in plot, characters, dialogue, aesthetics, setting, moral meaning, religious undertone, twist etc. Each version, including ours, aims to bring something new to an old idea. Please have the respect to not accuse us of plagiarism.

Additionally, we have no particular religious affiliation; this is a fictional work and its ideas are designed to encourage thought and debate, not comment on any particular theology.


Our first professional short film. We made it for $200 and shot it on the stage of our old school in Melbourne, Australia. Fortunately, professional actor Robert Grubb agreed to act in it for free after reading the script. This film took nearly a year to put together, working on it in stages and creating the 'white' effect on a home PC. Please note that the younger actor, unlike his father Robert Grubb, has no formal acting training whatsoever.

The Making of "Black Button" is now on YouTube.

Two of our other shorts have been released on YouTube, 'Campsite' and 'The Window'. Click on our profile if you'd like to see them and subscribe for updates on new films. Thanks!

It looks like it but I'm not 100% sure.

Reminds me a lot of 50 percent grey, it was nominated for an oscar a number of years back. Seems like the whole purgatory thing is an easy theme for a short film. This is good though, maybe a tad bit unoriginal, but i could be wrong.

i love how life is a lose-lose compitition with your god. that seems very, very unhappy to me. i'll stick with being unholy, thanks.

i got your point of view, but would the keykeeper of the gate send you to hell for cursing somebody to die to save others?

1 Peter 1:14-16 "As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. But just as he who you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written 'Be holy, because I am holy."

It seems that we can "measure up," but not through works.

Ephesians 2:8-9 "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works so that no man can boast."

Romans 3:23 - "for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God"

Romans 3:10-11 - "As it is written: 'There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God."

By being human we don't "measure up." Ever since Adam and Eve ate the fruit because of their pride and selfishness, we are born into sin. God is perfection, and he orders us to follow him.

Matthew 5:48 "Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect."

The point is he's willing to kill someone for lots of green paper (Money). You're make the choice of killing one person that may or may not agree to this.

In short, your killing someone on their mercy just so YOU can help other people.

If this doesn't make sense, I can try to explain it better.
Stevenstar13 (January 7, 2009 at 4:17 pm)
Do you even know what you're talking about?

Maybe you should actually READ THE BIBLE before talking about how we can't "measure up" to God's holiness.
