[@alexvizcarra6619]

La tuya x las dudas

[@ODELLAIDAN]

This is the best one of these type of short films I’ve ever seen. So much character with no words ever spoken. Brilliant, man

[@sickmindfilms]

wow... i’m currently a junior in high school from the bay, and usc and chapman are also my top schools I want to attend for filmmaking. This short video inspired me to get up and make some art before my winter break ends. Thank you and good luck on your applications!

[@BennettCoast]

John Kim glad you liked it man, keep creating and good luck next year

[@Kyle_Stan]

Damn, this looked pretty good. Good luck on your application!

[@purpledomo4448]

The cinematography and lighting on this is amazing. It looks so professional

[@aubreybauman]

Oh my God. This is so good! I love it so much! The filming is incredible and the story is so cute, also the color looks very professional. And the text conceal at the end credit, awesome! I hope I can get this good some day.

[@createkate.9021]

This is just incredible! So talented!

[@Ferru]

Amazing story and shots bro! Legit loved every moment of it. Hope we can both attend Chapman next year!

[@andrewesposito5338]

I'm submitting something for the same application, so it was crazy to see this pop up in my feed. I subscribed because I found your JUUL song/video and I have a comedy/satire hip hop album in the works and wanted to use your song as inspiration. Crazy how the world works sometimes... Hopefully we'll soon meet one another!

[@chasepeterson9439]

The intercutting back and forth was an excellent choice.

[@roberttorres6693]

holy shit this was good

[@spencersanderson4590]

So sick

[@ThomasJohn1]

Hey man, this is truly some of the best looking footage I’ve seen on a small project. GHAlex is killer! Beautiful story too. What lens did you use here? Best of luck in film school.

[@ecfilm5185]

I know I’m really late to comment on this lol, your film is truly amazing to watch! What camera did you use btw? This was absolutely stunning! Keep it up (:

[@owen_elliott]

Beautifully done. Definitely not rejected due to lack of filmmaking expertises, probably due to essays or some other dumb outside force

[@inkusaido]

the resolution was amazing

[@faridtahmasebi1]

Good Job!

[@Jyotirmayshuva]

That's so cool man! I am wondering do you really need a film school at all!! Btw which film school you choose? USC i guess

[@davidmilankelly]

Fuck yeah dude! This was an awesome short film! Where did you get in

[@TomBolles]

So I was reading about the GHAlex lut on reddit and I saw your post of this video. I see you've enrolled at LMU. I'm also starting SFTV this fall, so see you there! Also, if you're interested, we have a film production group chat, so I can DM you the link on insta or something if you'd like.

[@alexvizcarra6619]

Concuerdo con vos

[@SimeonMihalkov]

Great colors, did you use GhAlexa for them.

[@hiimalexa]

what camera did you use?

[@katieitaya6827]

what camera do you film on?

[@jstewfilms]

Where did you get in?

[@BennettCoast]

Waitlisted to Chapman, denied to USC, am now enrolling at LMU for film production

[@kaileylee6482]

i love this so much. what kind of camera do you use

[@BennettCoast]

kailey lee thank you! GH5

[@aidenjennings2823]

Damn I skate soma all the time I also wanna go to usc

[@sparkyboomboomboi7051]

Was this based off a somewhat true story? It’s a very good film but I’m actually a skateboarder looking to make some extra cash and I was wondering if photographing skaters could actually be my side hustle?

[@samuelbyergo2648]

no because this is too good. i'm working on my application now and...oh fuck

[@kaitlinroth]

What school are you going to?

[@tanishreviewsfilm2223]

Did you get accepted?

[@GTHaroFITBMX]

[@yoshitatsumi2452]

I am also a film director, editor, and writer. I would love to help you out with some of the projects if you are interested. Let me know !
