here again because yall got married ytd CONGRATULATIONS SEAN AND BAY 🎆🎆

[@irahazmanwong8764]

This feels too real. Portraying the suffocation of losing someone you truly, genuinely love. The kind of love where you don’t see them as a person anymore, but your home. the home you come back to after a hectic long day, just looking at them put your soul at ease. the home you tell stories to at the end of the day, no matter how bad it was. the home you feel safe in. but life’s not always in our favour. and losing your home is unbearable. where do you go now? who shelters you? The pain i thought i could never recover from, i turned them into walls. to create safe boundaries. to build my own home. And today particularly.. I feel safe again.♥️

[@eyrarizalsvlog3538]

i love this. you basically explained it all..

[@zarmishazakaria8720]

I love Baydoucet. She’s so cute!!

[@a.n.s.9443]

congrats on ur wedding 🫶🏻 i guess the love is started here

[@AizaJustmint]

They were together for 8 years

[@hai5133]

someone actually did it. malaysia boleh okay . ni yang kita perlukan dalam industri filem malaysia . not the typical one . always the same thing . ini kelainan gais . everything is on top . music , cinematography , story line . omggg

[@moonharuhi7882]

The first local short film where I burst into tears !!! When they were dancing together affectionately (plus with bay singing OMG!!!) I can feel the thirst of the couple longing with each other ! ! ! I think that's the highlight of the film for me. Well done Sean Lee and the team, this is sooooo good and I am amazed with the quality served by the cast, and the storyline, not easy wehh to juice out the ideas in making a film, and you guys did a very good job. This film remained tainted in audience's heart!!! Yalls should tapp on your shoulders and said, 'Well done, your hardworks paid off!"

[@seanlje]

huge thank you and appreciation from the team and i 🙏🏼 there's a lot that happened before, during and after the shoot and i'm glad we managed to pull through and i'm glad the audience loved it 🥰 looking forward to the next one hehe 🤭

[@maryamfarzana8631]

So ben lost someone, and developed depression and he started to have delusions or maybe he created stories in his head to comfort himself. Love the aesthetic cinematography ❤

[@meowsyasya01]

Come here from future 😜 congrats ❤

[@farahafiqah314]

hahahaaha same here

[@xjeemo]

this should be a legit 2 hours romantic film. ngl it's so good

[@seanlje]

there's a possibility for expanding. its gonna be a lot of work jugak ah 😜 hehe

[@xjeemo]

@@seanlje hahaha slow² sean! btw congrats! loving this short film. underrated

[@embun.mp4894]

YAYYY LAGU FROM JAGGFUZZBEATS !! MY FAVOURITE ALL TIMEE!!! AND MISS BAY DOUCET PUNYA VOICE ADA LOVELY TONE AND SHE HAD GREAT CONTROL THROUGHOUT

[@JSplif20]

This is what I understand: emily died, it took dude 5 yrs to move on, encountered someone that looks like emily (hence the scene where he saw her walking with another man), at the end he saw her but that’s not emily, that’s the girl that looks like her, and finally he accepted that his girl is gone. The end.

[@nursyahirahmasdar]

SPOILER ALERT: i don't think she's physically dead..she's "dead" to him and he can move on now to find new love..and i think he's having a one side love/having a huge CRUSH on her without her realizing it for 5 years..she never was his girl in the first place..all scenes portraying someone's death (cemetery & car crash) are all symbolic/metaphor of his feeling towards her..this 15:24 scene particularly makes me wonder at first..why was he surprised looking at the picture if he is the one who took the picture..it's all his imagination..ouh and i just realized..if you look closely at the scene where she's with another man, that man's cloth looks almost similar to what he's wearing..so maybe it came to him that he wished that the other guy was him instead..

[@gleekypotters]

@@nursyahirahmasdar oh my god this is brilliant.

[@nursyahirahmasdar]

@@gleekypotters thank you..just watched it because my friend recommended it to me and left totally impressed by the plot..it makes me think a lot

[@eyrarizalsvlog3538]

loved everything about this. the cinematography. the lighting. the mood. i can feel everything that this movie is portraying. the happiness. and the hurt. looking forward to more great stories. good job to sean and the team~

[@seanlje]

Awesome! Thank you! #Bay4life

[@nabilahtarin2727]

I guess Ben's mind is playing trick with him at the last scene. just like how he heard his pet, Bruno was talking to him. Shima aunty is the one thats always been there for him for 5 years already ever since the accident. Hmm idk if my thought was right ke tak haha but love you two!

[@vanessastanley99]

I don't think its shima aunty 😂 must be Shimanthi

[@isyaff21]

my heart broke a little because of the ending💔 it may be difficult to get to know but it is more difficult to forget😣I love this and I will always support you😬👍p/s:next time janganlah buat ending sdih" 🤕

[@ainnurulshahmin7439]

there are some parts made me trigger the idea of who is he... 1.the title (261) -if you guys googled it,it means the relationship of races and love itself 2.the part that he dreams about emily and him on the roof -you know what,why he only dreams of that part,why not all of it?...bcs he knew what will happen right? i mean the accident 3.the part that emily go out with someone else - hey guys,you know what,the baby in the picture is himself with Bindi in his forehead, well that's means, he growing up with indian/hindu family, and emily is going out with someone indian that hair-tied,well that's kinda made me idealyzing it of who is he 4.the part that she look him and go away, -we all noted that part it should be ben take over the photoshoot of the cpl, why emily just standing there after ben visiting her graveyard? wait for the last point 5. The part that sima aunty go to his house and said "its been five years...." - i love how sima aunty treat him well...since primary school..🙂her husband watch aftee him so that ben dont feel loneliness...can i ask,why a neighbour should be a neighbour with someone they cared from child? can i say that they are family??? anyway,she knew all about him,all about emily, and just wanna took care of him... 6.case closed when the turtle spoke up to him - he literally have some mental issue that worried aunty sima why he not going out for the period of time... welll,i want to sleep,so bye...dont believe me 100% ....you guys have your own opinion🙂🙂

[@nuraqilah7941]

I just watched this after your gf go viral on twitter. This is too good to have a sad ending😭😭. But good job because the filter, the cinematography (idk how to spell it) is great. I love it. 👍

[@plhrmn]

I finally got the chance to watch this and omg the credits scene "Bruno - Boy" that's cute 🥺🤣 I love this so much. Looking forward for more ❤

[@morningheidi]

Everytime is sooo aesthetically pleasing! Good job on the location choices. Camera positions are doing splendid job. Love the transition and how it connected between 2 timeframe. However Ben’s character does make me cringe in the first 10 mins. I know he’s suppose to be an awkward and shy boy, but it’s just over-exaggerated. Btw Bay could win an Oscar for this 😍

[@seanlje]

Thanks for the feedback! appreciate it. Definitely, it was a new experience of directing and acting for me within 1 project. will definitely do better the next time 🙏🏻

[@morningheidi]

@@seanlje I was about to give all the credit to the director- didn’t realise you’re the director yourself. Congrats on your first short film. And thank you for bringing this fresh view to (typically) Malay’s film scene. Cause I know you’re well-known among malays as well kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3PZXmioo8dmZ6s
