Found this after Big Ears. Another great short film, very different feel. Thanks for sharing here.

[@sambaron]

Thank you!

[@honeyblackbirdfilms]

Really enjoyed the film! Just the right amount of comedy and suspense ☺

[@loganswiftable]

After having seen "Orgy", I knew I needed to check out your other works, as that was so brilliant. This was yet another great short film, quite intense. I enjoyed the double entendres throughout and both actors are really good. What does the end of the short signify; is their relationship doomed to fail?

[@sambaron]

That's up to you to decide... Thanks for watching, I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

She needs help…

He needs to get away.

She was so right!!!!!!

[@healthconscience4931]

This totally goes against my Army training. I would have kicked her to the curb after this...if it were real LOL Great film!

If she pointed even an unloaded gun at me in a threatening way -- or a pseudo-threatening way -- that would be the moment I would say, "You know what? You're right. You're right, and I'm wrong. I'm so wrong that you deserve better than me. Bye." And that would be the end of the relationship.

Clearly she's not gun trained (and nor is he by the looks of it), but then again most citizens outside US aren't. She was on the right though to say if there's a gun in their house, she should've been consulted, and not placed somewhere for anyone to find it and be able to play with it.

@@more_tezza "most citizens outside US aren't (gun-trained)" I don't know what the statistics are, but I'd bet most inside the U.S. aren't either. It's probably a large minority though. (And they are the ones who get the media coverage which is why they seem like the majority--the availability heuristic.)

Well written, directed and acted...just not a fan of the camera moving constantly-especially during close ups.

[@latetotheparty184]

That could be a great full length movie. Just don't get Alec Baldwin to star in it.
