I loved that there was a narrator. That aspect made me want to keep watching to hear what he would say next. Great job on this film.

[@joeydonutz8011]

Remarkably unique, well done!

[@SamDavisonFilm]

thanks so much!

[@clanch2544]

I remember Stranger Than Fiction, but this is SO MUCH BETTER. Haha!

[@JennyyyyySprink-vp7cx]

PLEASE tell me theres more of simon or at least going to be. I would binge a series of these! It is SO good!

[@AgustinLamas-Actor]

Thank you so much. I hope so, I would be up for it in a heartbeat.

Amazing film! I really loved the ideia!

[@0Myszka]

Very nice. Well done!

[@SamDavisonFilm]

thankyou!

[@PopcornButterreviews-jh4td]

Brilliant! As seems to be the general consensus, I too want to see more of Simon. The team seemed to work incredibly well together and I really think this could go places. The film is super polished and professional that I was genuinely shocked that it wasnt a tailer for a huge film production. Amazing work and a big round of applause to everyone involved.

[@SamDavisonFilm]

thankyou so much! means the world!

[@PopcornButterreviews-jh4td]

It is well deserved

[@vinz3160]

Okay, I just wanna say, that was really good. Production Quality and Acting is 10/10. I actually can't believe, you haven't got more subs or views. Love it, great stuff!

[@SamDavisonFilm]

thanks so much, appreciate it!

[@butterflypenguin9554]

Agreed 👍

[@AgustinLamas-Actor]

Thank you so much for the kind words.

[@rickycanales7278]

So funny. 😂😂😂🤣

[@aivarasz]

Give Simon a hug! 🤗❤️

[@JennyyyyySprink-vp7cx]

He's super cute, poor simon.

[@supahmariostyle]

This is beautiful and refreshing.

[@SamDavisonFilm]

thanks so much!

[@Thabatamillard]

I had fun and got scared at the same time 🤣 good job!! Congrats on causing both emotions so well!

[@samms3353]

Great job! 👏👏👏

[@leothewost248]

Wow I love the Stanley Parable

[@helloworld-hz2lx]

Stumbled accross this and man i love it. The little fork scene is my fav! 😂 and the eyecandy is nice too 🙈

[@SamDavisonFilm]

thanks so much!!

[@Mary-anneMcburn-vw9sf]

He gives me pedro pascal vibes 😏 handsome

[@AgustinLamas-Actor]

Thank you but let's be honest the fork had a lot of heavy lifting to do. Basically carried my entire performance.

[@AgustinLamas-Actor]

​@@Mary-anneMcburn-vw9sfsuch an amazing compliment. I hear Pedro might be stepping away from The Mandalorian, I would be happy to step in for the guy.😏

[@Mary-anneMcburn-vw9sf]

Would LOVE that 🤩

[@CreepyBiscute96]

I adore short films because i have a very small attention span but usually they dont feel like they have a hearty enough story or they have good story line but production value and acting can be poor. This on the other hand, it is the best of everything. Interesting and fun story, amazing acting and production value, all in such a short span of time. Has all the best parts of big motion pictures but an easy pallitable size. Hope it gets even more buzz for you guys because it really deserves to be seen.

[@SamDavisonFilm]

wow, that’s so kind, thankyou so much!

[@PopcornButterreviews-jh4td]

Amazing! True craftmenship from everyone invloved. As the general consensus seems to be from everyone else in the comments, I would love to see more of Simon and see it turned into a series. When I clicked the link, I was shocked that this was not a tailer for a full blown production given the quality. Truly incredible job all around. Beautiful visualy and impeccable acting.

[@PopcornButterreviews-jh4td]

Sorry if my comment doubled up. My previous comment seemed to have disapeared on my end.

[@SamDavisonFilm]

thankyou so much!!!

[@PaulPink-vk8bf]

Just watched a few of your films on here. Amazing. You can see how far you guys have come. The team that worked on this one seems to work together perfectly for a flawless execution. Both actors were perfectly cast and the concept was very interesting. Will we be seeing more of this Simon character??? I hope so. 👍

[@SamDavisonFilm]

thanks so much! Hopefully we’ll be able to bring Simon back for future adventures!

[@AgustinLamas-Actor]

Thank you so much. I really hope we do.

[@JennyyyyySprink-vp7cx]

Please do!

[@Flich757]

This reminds me of the film, "Stranger Than Fiction." Great job!

[@SamDavisonFilm]

thankyou!

[@TheFireline]

You guys are so brilliant. I don't know how many horror films I've seen - 2000 or more??? But never anything like this. It really is extraordinary. Absolutely unique. More comedy than horror, of course, but never mind. Qualitatively on a high level in many relevant criteria. "Booh"!

[@SamDavisonFilm]

Thanks so much!!

[@AgustinLamas-Actor]

Thank you so much.

[@JennyyyyySprink-vp7cx]

I agree, it's so good!

[@butterflypenguin9554]

This was so good. Looks very professional and the main actor is amazing. He really brought the character to life in such a short amount of time. Looking forward to hopefully seeing more of Simon's story. Great job guys! 👏

[@juliesmith-mn8bk]

[@arshitsingh774]

Wait why didn't what the narrator said happen??

[@laiki6332]

Sorry to bother you, you guys made a perfect short film. Can I repost this video to a Chinese video website? I will mark the link to your original video and also the link to the actor's home page. It doesn't matter if I'm not allowed to reprint it, this is your creation. Again, you guys did a great job ! I can also help you add Chinese subtitles if you want to upload your videos to Chinese streaming platforms.

[@SamDavisonFilm]
