-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'.

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.

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.

Impressive.

We were born into imperfection. We all deserve to go to hell b/c of falling short of God's standard of perfection. No matter how much good we do, we can't measure up to God's holiness. If do all this good but slip up just once, we are as guilty as a person who has done a terrible crime. The only way to get out of hell is through a relationship with Jesus Christ. We can't obtain salvation on our own. We need help! That is why Jesus came. Forgive me if I sound arrogant or prideful in this.
