Friend to Lovers | A Short Film

[@chrisw443]

You never stop being friends, you just become lovers as well.

[@blazingbuddy173]

Oh my gosh I actually really needed to hear this😭

[@totoro_0__0_3]

The opening scene was clearly an homage to Past Lives I feel .. and I loved that !!

[@evie-shaw]

Past Lives was def one of our references for the mood but we actually came up with the opening scene earlier when we were on a date talking about the couple next to us bahaha. Maybe we were subconsciously influenced...love Past Lives!!

[@running2348]

Yesss

[@emmagenation]

I heard the opening line, glanced at the setup, and thought, “Yup, that’s Past Lives” ✨💕

[@StaticRaysa]

Yesss!!!

[@Mystic_Paths]

There’s a comfort in knowing someone on such a personal level before transitioning into a romantic relationship, which can make the shift feel more meaningful and special.

[@Rabbert]

So so so sweet 😭 the reveal at the end blew me away 👏

[@evie-shaw]

omg thanks for watching

[@joaovitor2456]

This touched me in many ways that i cant describe, mostly because i broke up a few weeks ago with my girlfriend who happened to be my best friend, we were the "friends to lovers" type of couple and this reminded me of what passed through my mind when we confessed our feelings for each other. Thats a beautiful piece of art and a very good short-film. Congrats!!!!!

[@nothingisdue]

We are in the same exact situation. I hope your doing well and this film was amazing.

[@dua_junaid]

Why did you break up?

[@joaovitor2456]

@@dua_junaid incompatibillities basically, there was nothing i could have done or she could have done to maintain the relationship.

[@deatheth5039]

Why was I holding my breath? I ask myself often "When does love for a friend turn into more?" You captured it beautifully

[@evie-shaw]

Thank you i’m glad it resonated 🫶

[@slayyycapybara]

every clip feels so warm, exactly like love does. it's when everything is going down, but being with or even having the thought of that one person can assure you that everything will be alright. when you have never been sure of anything for like half of your life, but suddenly everything just makes sense and falls right into place and the confusion just isn't there anymore.

[@sinabon3331]

3:31 these city shots blew me away man, the visuals alone deserve more recognition and the actual content is so fucking sweet

[@nachos3368]

This is beautiful, the cinematography is impeccable and i absolutely love how we realize that they were actually starring at themselves unknowingly at the end. I loved everything, thank you for this beautiful short film💗

[@helnik]

so so brilliant and beautiful… friends to lovers remain as top tier trope fr, the longing gazes and the yearning

[@shua_films]

Happy 7 years! You guys are so cool 💙

[@evie-shaw]

thank you!!

[@__withMark]

Beautiful short story, and LOVED the ending. Happy 7th Anniversary Ethan & Evie!

[@evie-shaw]

Thank u mark :,)

[@KamisatoElias]

This is absolutely, indescribably stunning and gorgeous. It encapsulates it all in 5 minutes. I feel strangely empty knowing how this feels firsthand and then having it taken away after breaking up.. but it was a beautiful time of my life I will remember fondly. The definition of bittersweet.

[@brilliantaksan]

Wow… that last scene got me so good, yall are really made for each other. So happy for u both 🤍

[@katabna]

Dec 17th is my birthday! This is so beautiful, makes me want to make a short film with my boyfriend. We’ve been together almost two years, friends to lovers of course. Thank you for putting things into words for when I can’t, definitely showing him this. Happy 7 years!

[@evie-shaw]

Happy late birthday!! You should make that short film with him ☺️

[@yoUrl0calw3irdo._.Z]

this portrays how love in friendship develops and how it complicated, but simple, it feels so well. i felt so understood and touched by this. thank you

[@just_tvon]

Wow. What an amazing film! It reminded me of Past Lives directed by Celine Song. Edit: Happy 7 years

[@sonicamin317]

You two killed it. Absolutely Brilliant.

[@TamaraMarak]

"Is there a point in loving when you lose the reason that brought you together?"

[@sxmplyblossom8048]

YOU ARE SOOOOO UNDERRATED WTF?!? Omg. I loved the cinématographie, the story, the music, EVERYTHING! BRAVO!!

[@maazySK]

Love when films end similar to how they start, reminds me of pulp fiction. GREAT short film and happy 7 years!!!

[@Antomi_and_go]

The storytelling is absolutely beautiful ❤

[@alexrisha]

Beautiful🥰 a love letter to love itself

[@nikuhsay1323]

Really touching, because I never know if these best friends should stay this way… or if we should follow you

[@natekim1908]

[@senoritamazapan]

This reminds me of Alex and Levi, and it makes me kinda happy and sad all at once.

[@BD-tz6rg]

The cinematography is so beautiful. The colour grading is so warm too.

[@yishko]

[@RamonDeeJay]

Absolutely loved this!! It was such a creative and completely original twist to the establishing shot from Past Lives!! You guys did such an incredible job! Also, if possible, I'd really appreciate it if you guys made a follow-up video about the making of this (your visual influences and other stuff like that)

Wait, need more of you twoooooo! Acting era lets gooo 🎉

[@cinemilan]

Great camera and locations, and a terrific ending! I have a suggestion regarding the sound design - the first scene's background noise was like a very bustling place, but the actual place wasn't really crowded, and it was difficult to hear the dialogue. And it would've been great if there was some difference in audio quality for narration/voiceover and actual talking audio. Loved it!

[@evie-shaw]

Thank you and appreciate the feedback!

[@EdwinRutilioSanchez]

Amazing short film. The color grading is not my style but I understand that it aids the style that this short film was going for. This great storytelling and I have to say that the locations ya'll shot at really enhanced the film along with the amazing lighting. The music choice was also just perfect. I dream of creating something like this some day. Keep on creating and amazing work.
