Davy and Stu - Gay Short Film

[@evandomacario1775]

I'm back watching this short probably 10 years later.I just love it! I just thought of it and had to see it again. I think we all would love to have had a Stu when we were their age.

[@plyihcky247]

"Stu, you smell nice, Thank You !" When Davy put his hand inside Stu's rugby shirt, it mad me quiver. So tender and raw, Yes, it brings back memories of teenage angst. Double difficult when it comes to teenage homosexuality !

[@niallahorana3377]

So many years and I'm still back to this vid. So much nostalgia!

[@LGBTR3naissance]

By far one of my favorite gay coming-of-age short films. The endearing feels and touching aura it exudes is just so beautifully filmed and executed-words almost fail to describe it. Truly this one is a gem among so many other films like it and I proudly recommend everyone watch this as it sticks with you after the credits roll. Nicholas Cutro and Travis Walters were both so lovely when they starred in this piece and the chemistry they had is too angelic and pure. The subjects of boyhood folkloric fears, future goals, and adolescent romantic feelings are wonderfully illustrated in the script. God bless everyone who helped create this film.

[@honeybee.87]

One of the best short films. Subtle, innocent and sweet. Portrays all the awkwardness and intensity I remember about young love in a realistic way.

[@ansuhmayram]

that was so adorable, he had a shower to smell good to impress the other boy. bless

[@joekerr8584]

does he do that all the time or did he finally kind of get into the sexual-love thing bc he was late bc he showered so he can smell good around him?

[@camustrindade1623]

​@@joekerr8584Davy said that he's always filthy, so we can assume he took a shower just to impress the other boy

[@taalyn]

Beautiful film. So tragic that Travis (Davy) passed away. So young and talented. :(

[@charles.stewart4422]

WTF When how omg ?

[@corbinasher4880]

Coming back to watch this 6 years later ! I still love this so much.

[@giovanniserafino1731]

One of the best short films I have ever seen. I keep coming back to it over and over again. The plot works on many levels. What is clear, of course, is their deep love and affection for each other. Both Davy and Stud are American actors and are not Scottish. Stu is is actually an Italian American and has the classic looks of an Italian,. Trust me, I see his good looks every day on the train here in Rome. LOL. He looks more like an Italian soccer player than anyone from Scotland! LOL. Concerning the accent or what is better described as a dialect of English, at first it is difficult to understand. However, if I as an Italian can understand it after a few viewings , native speakers of English, even Americans with the little patients, will certainly be able to understand the dialogue. Believe me, it is well worth the effort. Ciao!

[@josephr.gainey2079]

Travis Hachy Walters (Saturday, September 8th, 1990 -Tuesday, April 24th, 2012), who played Davy, died suddenly at his New York, New York, USA home. May he rest in peace!

[@philipthomey7884]

Thank you for posting.

[@PhilipSteeves]

Brilliant!! Well written, well acted!! Truly a breath of fresh air in this jaded world. Congratulations and thank you.

[@tewaish]

Philip Steeves subtle and yet....

[@bicyclechuck]

omg, what an exquisite little film... honest and pure... these boys and their innocent dance of seduction and desire actually brought me to tears, and had me cheering. thank you for posting this treasure.

[@BalancedMasterEl]

I just realized the double meaning of the final conversation about fearing what one does not know!!! I love this short film, 2nd favorite I have ever seen.

[@moonside3880]

Can u explain pls I dont get it

[@phocian]

5 years later and I am back watching this. I actually had that music from the beginning playing in my head and I knew exactly where to come back too.

[@changingspiritually9540]

Basically for those of you who don't understand, there is a LOT of Folklore here in the U.K and this story uses folk stories to add a twist. Not many will get it just because people tend to know or hear about stuff like "bloody mary" more than any other foreign folk tale. You have to have had the experience to understand. They're talking about a bedtime story they grew up with, which has a complex impact on them and how their relationship develops. I saw this Years Ago and it still is a Top one in my books.

[@paulmazza6810]

I'm a native Spanish speaker and I understood (not every single word) but most of it, idk why are there actual native English speakers complaining about the accent. Beautiful film btw

[@abbycurtis1439]

Great acting Cute ending Did not get any of the plot because if their accents But I bet it was good!

[@DJVirgoNeun1]

Abby Curtis Nothing to it really. It's just typical boy talk from them. You know, what they want out of life not to mention the folktale of Jenny Greenteeth which is probably a rumor to scare the shit out of each other. Either way it's a plain and simple but cute story nonetheless!

[@bicyclechuck]

so, i've now watched this probably ten times.... and it is by far one of the most beautiful shorts on young love i've seen, ever. the filmmaker achieves, in a mere 15 minutes, what many filmmakers can not in six or seven times the length. it is simply perfect.

[@madmike4061]

Since you watched it 10 times, do you know what he says at 8:47? I rewound it a bunch of times but still couldn't make out what he said.

[@bicyclechuck]

MadMike he says "your soft, ya are"

[@madmike4061]

bicyclechuck thanks bud 😀😉😎

[@bicyclechuck]

no prob :-)

[@Rahown129]

Well its been long, so im not really expecting anyone to reply. But i would appreciate if u can tell ne what he says at 2:39 . Thx.

[@mackenzieholder28]

I have literally watched this like 10 times and it never fails to make me grin

[@kabicabby6427]

This is my ultimate favorite short film. U can see the love in both their eyes

[@warrenabeshouse1230]

The way they look at each other sometimes indicates a certain attraction and Stu is undeniably extremely cute. They talk about this and that, get close and move apart and finally, Stu makes a move.... but the camera moves away and the credits begin to roll when I suppose they are about to kiss, which is what I at least was hoping to see. Great setting, good acting till that point and it's nice to hear Scottish voices for a change.

[@auroraborealis7415]

whoa..the accent is so strong it sounds like another language!

[@petehoover6616]

It's Broad Scottish. It is indeed a separate dialect from Standard English.

[@JonathonWoodgate]

I'm Australian, and to me they sound perfectly normal.... my half-sister's grandparents were from Northumbria, and my own great-great-grandparents were Irish, so my mother pretty much grew up (and as a consequence, I did too) accustomed to the speech patterns and accents of Scottish, Irish and Northerner English....

[@Blasewitz]

Jonathon Woodgate As this video was published by CanadianJewel, I first thought it is a Canadian dialect. Then I realised it sounded quite much like over here, in Newcastle, UK ^^. It makes the story even cuter :D (a confused French guy ^^)

[@ThisIsCharlieQuinn]

True

[@AnthonyMontalvan]

Their accent is strong af

[@dinpinguim]

which country is their accent from

[@markusmielke8254]

Nosso Sanduba - Club Penguin it’s scottish

[@dinpinguim]

thanks man

[@PadisherCreel]

​@@markusmielke8254Irish

[@niamhelliott-brennan2805]

I love this! It's all so... intense yet completely believable and I find it easy to imagine as a real life event in the lives of these two boys.

[@tompiper8540]

I understood their accent perfectly. Travis was my kind of cute sweet boy. To bad he passed away. I had a feeling for him. I liked the video also.

[@HectorGarcia1]

Truly a beautiful film and a great story. You can feel the attraction and energy in almost every moment. When Davy finally touches Stu’s chest under his shirt, it’s explosive. Just lovely. I know this was completed years ago but someone should add English sub-titles. KZbin’s auto-generated closed-captioning program cannot understand the accent. I hate losing any of this story. Great film.

[@camustrindade1623]

This is my comfort short since I was 14 and was struggling with depression, anxiety and a toxic family and homophobia... It's very dear and special to me til this day ❤

[@ngh9133]

It's a wonderful, sensitive film with a touching ending. The reason people are having so much trouble with the accents is that they are all over the place. Sometimes it's Scottish. Sometimes it's Ulster. Sometimes it's the Irish Republic. Occasionally, the vowels are New England. They needed a dialogue coach very badly, but maybe the budget couldn't stretch to it. It's so sad that the younger actor, Travis Walters, who played Davy, died at only 21.

[@nicoletzo]

Such a beautiful back and forth between the two boys. frightened, overwhelmed, exploring new territory...

[@Madamuuu]

This was so cute, but now I'm terrified of Jenny Greenteeth o.o.

[@yogiperogy]

Very moving film. Brings back memories of my own awkward moments trying to convey affection with the uncertainty of the reception I would receive. Thanks CJ.

[@GrotrianSeiler]

It's about caring. If you didn't get it, you should watch it again. Very sweet little film.

[@abuansari3660]

I will never not be able to watch this. It is lovely and slightly heartbreaking. Heartbreaking because I grieve not having a Stu when I was Davy’s age. This is one of the best shorts I’ve ever watched.

[@dragynheart1]

THAT was heartening!! Beautiful conversation complete with all the awkwardness of youth!! I LOVE IT!!! It was a little difficult to get used to the accent at first, being American (we're not used to it) but after about 30 seconds I got the whole thing, I'm in LOVE with Stu!!! >sigh< so pretty!

[@DellarteDellaGuerra]

Holy fucking shit the way he (the big guy with le nose) says "come on" breaks me heart.

[@alastairjamesmainland2497]

That was gripping acting from start to finish. Brilliantly and so beautifully done! Amazing little film.

[@kevinp1018]

Amazingly beautiful. One of the finest gay films I've seen.

[@vashblue8775]

Loved everything about this one. What's hysterical about this one? the closed caption. Thought I needed it for the accent. Then realized how off it was. Could be a new hobby.

[@1Brassknckle1]

best short story i have watched. the emotion between the two is just inspiring.

[@tonysloane5616]

The accent was Irish - and Davy is very beautiful.

[@matthewb1867]

Scottish

[@angelus9352]

I Like this movie i saw it 3 times i luv the ending ,this guys knows how to act.

[@ajvideoweb]

The end was beautifull but I couldnt understand a word...

[@rc5chi539]

Cool , the little guy was actually the bigger and stronger of the 2 .

[@wigglewagner]

And the camera view meanders off them just before the kiss. This fould have easily gone on or even had a follow up but it was smart enough to leave you wanting more but satisfied that it closed on a precious appreciation and the knowledge they cared for one another. It said all it needed to say.

[@strix.1]

Have not seen this in YEARS. RIP Travis Walters. (1990-2012)

[@ZachariahGreggs]

I had to come here again, what a wonderful story, well written and acted, strong under currents of teen passion and discovery, 👍

[@johnjohnson4702]

An enjoyable little film! The actors and the setting were right on! Great job!

[@randalthor6670]

This was an excellently done short. From the dialog to the shot blocking, all great stuff. Both actors were really good too, especially the one playing Stu, he portrayed the nervousness of the situation spot on.

[@billyhndrsn4542]

I know what Stu wants, and I would gladly oblige his want.

[@nashville1510able]

25 years of speaking English and I need captions. I feel like a complete failure 😂😂😂

[@steveblogs2532]

This was heartstopper.

[@carloshuerta6862]

This is so well done. At first I did have trouble understanding the conversation but after watching this a few times i pretty much understand it. Its just a casual conversation between two boys who meet at the bog after school. through their conversation you can pick up that they have a romantic relationship. so sad to find out Travis Walters died tho :(

[@johnathonf1]

Thank you. This was beautiful.

[@sopraltenass13]

Lol I'm very glad to hear that Jenny Greenteeth flosses. This was a gem of a short film. :)

[@billyboy5685]

Travis Walters RIP You are one of the beautiful creations of God.

[@mickyfahrie]

My favorite gay short, so heartwarming and lovely cast

[@dolantin4112]

RIP, Travis......

[@vashblue8775]

Do you or anyone know how he died?

[@melshorse]

Vash Blue He took his own life.

[@dolantin4112]

Derebymel Belmont Are you sure? Can't believe it.

[@coastlenser]

+Derebymel Belmont I don't think one should discuss something that one knows nothing about.

[@bobkim9381]

i know it before 😢he is so young

[@masonlowe6645]

this is the most pure piece of film of youtube idk🥺

[@germanolopez]

Simplesmente incrível! This short movie and Amazing in every detail! In addition to the movie being based on an award-winning play. Is one of the short films that impresses me most today!

[@NicolaiGaga]

Germano Lopez what award-winning play are you talking about? Do you mean this short movie is based on a play? Can you please share the name of the play then! Thank you.

[@zalerayne1953]

Another great upload. Thank you!

[@DearKeith]

Talk about complexity; but still sweet and beautiful.

[@kharmaiz]

What a sweet, sweet story. Sadly, Travis Walters, the actor who played Davy, died in 2012 only 6 years after this film. He was only 21.

[@jasonjones8678]

Simply, beautiful and endearingly, delightful ❤

[@herientijuana]

One of the sweetest stories.

[@sparkers70]

Really sweet film. And Nicholas Cutro is dreamy. :)

[@alyssanicole2490]

This whole time I've only been concerned with the cats death.

[@philipthomey7884]

? ? The cat

[@hadrian6709]

the accent was... not understandable for the first few sentences but after that it was a beautiful short film!

[@I.luv.Besit0s]

I remember the time When I got my first kiss it was in 5th grade Ps im still in the class with him and we secretly hold hands during class still 😊 P.s. who elese likes there own comments cause they know that no one else will

[@cretintendencies]

Brilliant short film.

[@mirroredhour]

I love fairy lore and they're so adorable together! I love both types of fairies. :) Great story!

[@auroraborealis7415]

aw that was such a sweet ending :3

[@norvieamores]

Congratulations LATE SUMMER IS beautiful drama but sad end.

[@sherlockwatson3070]

Oh my god, Stu took a shower so he would smell good for Davy *ADORABLE*

[@joekerr8584]

Sherlock Watson does he always do that or just that particular day, (which is the reason why he was late for the rendezvous)?

[@DestinedRed96]

Came here 10 years later because i had to see this again 😇

[@juanvelez8564]

Another "jewel!" Thank you guys! There were several comments about the accent--It was perfectly understandable--I don't think it was Irish--was it northern English, border Scots? Beautiful in any case....

[@RPW1958]

Thank you for posting. This was very sweet and made me feel like I wanted this kind of sweetness in my life........

[@egalitarian-rex]

Like several others, I am viewing this brilliant short film again after many years. My question is where did @CanadianJewel, creator of this KZbin channel go? He was quite handsome and fairly young. If he is active elsewhere on social media l’d be relieved to know he’s okay.

[@auburnt2009]

really enjoyed the Scottish accents.

[@pandoone05]

Yeah....It brought back a lot of my memories too.

[@joekerr8584]

can somebody please give me a breakdown of what happened, context, storyline etc. i barely understood it. i mean like a summary

[@CheffyD]

They are meeting in the woods because they are in a small town. Davy knows he's gay and is comfortable with it. Stu isn't yet, but they care for eachother. So ots mostly just them going back and forth trying to say how they feel without saying how they feel. So there is your context

[@CheffyD]

@@hailey9509 it's in the context of how they talk to each other. Just like you can tell this isn't a first time thing between them.

[@itgetsbetter9455]

Also it was sooooo tense I was like saying to myself JUST FUCKING KISS ALREADY!!!!!

[@philippelelievre3692]

très poétique et frais comme petit film..merci

[@joelmunoz8571]

They're cute and all but stu got some abusive tendencies if u ask me

[@bobbymartin6225]

Just beautiful; thank you

[@lucysheppard7256]

In japanese term I guess Stu would be categorized as a Tsundere, which is cute.

[@getzppnya]

I have watched this so many times. Pure Sweet

[@Imkritzfel]

Can someone explain what happened in this story? Because their english is hard and close and I can't understand all of they said

[@CutoDracon]

I so want to see more....Was that a Scottish-English accent???

[@asmABC123]

sweet- adorable how the big, strong guy took a shower b4 meeting up with his friend/crush/sweet-heart?_ -the bits about the bog girl eating boys was sorta gross. the bit about the big guy being strong enuf 2 beat the troll off of the smaller boy was sweet. - i'd like 2 see their story in a longer movie- thanks 4 sharing this with us.

[@BlueIvysAssistant]

RIP Travis.

[@istvanpuller7922]

Jeez. What happened?

[@BlueIvysAssistant]

I don't know. Some of his friends were told it was an accident. All I know is that he passed away at his parents house.

[@istvanpuller7922]

Poor kid. He was really talented :(

[@BlueIvysAssistant]

Puller István Yeah, he was. Too bad we couldn't see how his career would have taken off.

[@SarahxMari]

Thank you for uploading!

[@BalancedMasterEl]

Well, my favorite has changed now, it used to be Wastelands(2013) by Marco Van Bergen. Now its The Language of Love. Both are awesome.

[@72tubedmiaz]

sweet and so true to this day back and forth the foreplay and games we play before we get to the meat of the matter

[@JackFknTwist1]

That was really beautiful .......

[@praspurgh]

stu is so cute

[@darknessplague]

Ok i kinda get it and dont get it, did he bathe for him and he noticed that or something saying that he liked him or something?
