Love the subtle foreshadowing of the door being locked when his friend tries to enter, which didn’t make sense because his ex just left.

[@doctorhipno]

Oh my god that’s so smart! I noticed that he unlocked the door but I didn’t catch on

[@boeb]

Good catch!

Imagine just stumbling upon art

[@biiph7277]

Just stumbled upon this

[@SyreLikeAFire]

honestly it’s like an honour - especially when the channel has under 1k subs

[@tristan_840]

I love these kinds of recommendations. In music too.

[@reyoflighteeell]

Just happened to me!

[@typinreins5870]

"That's not ridiculus, women can be doctors!" got me rollin

[@hamzah2556]

It’s rare to see a short film where literally everything is firing on cylinders. Camerawork, writing, acting, cinematography, everything here was S-tier. Can’t wait to see more!

[@irishboy1616]

I have to disagree tbh, the general story is well written and you don't really see the twist coming, but the writing was definetly lacking which make the pretty good acting not great in my opinion. Not a bad film by any means but definetly not as polished as it could be. Conversation just didn't flow very realistically.

[@tommysalablanca]

Same can’t wait to see more

[@charles_teak]

@@irishboy1616 Yeah it's decent "decent". Nothing too special. I suppose that makes it special.

[@InfiniteInferno]

The moment when Will is talking with both Hannah and Bree is masterful dialogue and acting

[@boeb]

Thanks I agree it was beautifully written and the actors killed it.

[@watching9317]

the writing is so clean I could eat off it

[@boeb]

lol

[@9_cigars]

In the last conversation, where he hugged his imaginary ex, i think it symbolized that he knows he isn't over her. He accepts it and still wants it, even if it's just in his head. It shows a side of moving on that people rarely talk about-how you become accustomed to the pain, the regret, the "what ifs," and the endless scenarios. Because even if it's all imaginary, it still feels real, as that's the only way to "talk" to the person now. And honestly, it sucks. I know this because I've been there and experienced it. But now, instead of running from all these emotions, I’ve started facing them, and slowly, they feel less powerful. What i realized is, "Moving on isn’t about never having a thought of that someone. It’s about having the thought and being okay with it, realizing it doesn’t hold power over you anymore."

[@Lucifer-ru2ik]

This is so well put and beautiful. I love it.

[@Swebus3]

You got all that from a hug?

[@9_cigars]

@@Swebus3 haha i get you, i am not a therapist dw xD, just have been there in a situation similar to this so kind of felt familiar

[@9_cigars]

@@Lucifer-ru2ik i am glad, thank you so much💮

[@myronplatte8354]

That is so good! That quote is true about any kind of temptation, as well. Defeating temptation doesn’t mean not having temptations, it means having temptations and not reacting to them.

[@RyanLynch1]

love the actress for Hannah. very emotive and realistic expressions!

[@davidf2244]

She she was amazing. She felt like how people look to me when I'm enamored with them.

[@boeb]

She's super talented. Definitely going places

[@fluffyman9094]

bro the dialogue was so natural, props!

[@suneplong114]

For moment I thought I was on Netflix. Felt a little sad that it ended. Wish I could watch more of it. May KZbin algo please bless this.

[@Swadusa]

I think this short film found me at the right time. I'm going through the exact feelings towards the girl that broke off with me. There's still a part of me that thinks I can't be happy without her.

[@monopoly5496]

What did she break off? Your 1 inch bamboo? Or did she break up? Have you ever considered taking dr^gs?

[@boeb]

Thanks for sharing - glad/sad it struck a nerve

[@swiftsabre2305]

What incredible character writing, I cared about and liked everyone so quickly! Makes me want seasons of this!

[@donald2638]

As someone who’s wanted to make movies since high school, this is incredible. The acting, the shots, the pacing is seriously impressive for a short film. I’m so glad this randomly took off.

[@boeb]

Thanks. Hope to see your movies on here too!

[@SPaZchAOs]

What a beautifully tragic way to encapsulate what it feels like to be in love with someone you’re no longer with. A month ago I ended a relationship I was in and it was the last thing I wanted to do, but sometimes it’s not meant to be. And still nearly a month later I feel haunted constantly by my mind trying to hold onto her like Will holds onto Bren. It’s such a sad state to be in- but this film shows he can get over her and he will in time and it was such a beautiful reminder that life goes on and you have to “Will” yourself to persevere forward and allow yourself to live. That is how the wounds heal.

[@boeb]

Glad this film was something you could relate too - bittersweet as that may be. I appreciate your words. Nice pun too.

[@mirrorwolf9759]

We need a full series of this. The interactions felt so natural

[@naomichoutet7648]

"if I wasn't here you'd be alone" she said. hint that he can't detach from the start, I watched it twice it's so good

[@WrenReinholz]

This video is so perfectly written, the lines and the scene where Hannah and His ex are both in dialogue is amazing. Love!

[@woundedshins]

I have to leave a comment because I've stumbled upon something great. The writing was amazing. The acting was amazing. The cinematography, pacing, editing, everything, was, you guessed it, amazing. I am in a bit of disbelief and this gives me courage as a writer myself that you can tell a great story with a simplified idea and the fundamentals in mind. Beautiful work.

[@boeb]

Thanks so much for your kind words! Had a great team for this project, all talented people. Keep writing!

[@jonathanheffron943]

The actors and the writing is soooo good I enjoyed this very much

[@boeb]

Thanks!

[@Misha-bj7eq]

I could watch a whole 10 seasons of this

[@kranglethecheeselord2602]

It’s over. I have whiplash. I’m exhausted. Im dry heaving. I’m in love with this story. I would watch a movie about this. Wonderful Job 👏

[@boeb]

Thanks so much for saying so. Well put!

[@JeanGuit]

Never in my life i've commented on a video. This is pure cinema, not only the filming techniques, but, all the emotions too. I'm going through a break-up and this hits like fire. It's been days since I haven't experienced a glimpse of hope and I think you gave it to me. Thanks a lot.

[@boeb]

I appreciate your words. Glad you liked it

[@saerith19]

17:28 "Idk, Ill keep saying it till I do" made me feel so sad, this short movie just popped up in my feed and im glad i watched it! good job

This was simply brilliant. Sharp writing paired with incredible acting makes for art that moves you, as is the case here.
