This made me cry - my ex died 2 years ago, his folks pretended (even though we split up 10 years before) we had not had a relationship. We bought our first house together, I had to hide everything with a gay reference in my book shelf & he pretended to sleep in the back room. I miss Scott. I don't miss his folks attitude how they treat me at the funeral - she made out he had lots of girlfriends since I moved away, but his 'close friends' at the funeral where all gay men. I miss you Scott. Sleep well Bud x x Thank you for posting.

[@DocDawg79]

You and Scott knew/know the TRUTH. And now so do I. Scott and Dave.... IT WAS REAL!!!

[@idavo]

DocDawg79 - your words are comforting. Thank you for taking time out to reply to my comment. I appreciate this. If there is anything I can do to reciprocate the lift you have gave me, please let me know & I will do my very best to oblige. Thank you again.

[@DocDawg79]

i davo You are sooo welcome. (just pay it forward... as I did) stay strong Dave

[@idavo]

DocDawg79 what a gentleman you are. Someone in the world is very blessed to have you as a partner. Look after yourself sunshine. You have lifted my mood & I am so pleased for that. Greetings from England & a hug to boot.

[@DocDawg79]

i davo Wow... I showed my partner, the little chat I had with you here Dave and he said, "lets take the day off....." He told me that he feels blessed everyday to have me. (yes I cried). And then we went into "sexy time". (and he cried). Four hours later, we have changed all our plans for this weekend so we can be together these three days... So thank YOU *Scott* and DAVE!!! Now I owe you Dave.... Chicago Illinois, USA may catch fire again this weekend. May all be well across the pond.

[@pandoone05]

It would have been o.k. except for the dope smoking ....we need less of that in videos .

[@dissilymordentroge5818]

pandoone05 And turn videos into a puritan fantasy having little to do with the real world? A better approach is to include all manner of human behaviour but show both the positive and negative effects. And don't try and tell my smoking dope has no positive effects, that's as insane as those who try and tell us it has no negative effects. Next you'll be suggesting nobody should be seen drinking alcohol in movies. If your approach is to be consistent the drinking of alcohol should be banned on screen considering it destroys more families, relationships and kills far more people than marijuana.

[@dissilymordentroge5818]

Herbert Steil And what's your cut? The claims you make though are validated in my experience but you don't need an extender of any kind. Penis enhancement exercises can accoplish the same effect . Be warned though, anyone contemplating going down this path should know it takes a huge amount of dedicated effort over years and there are significant risks to be avoided. To buy and an extender over the web and go it alone is a recipe for disaster. Google

Why does bein gay always gotta be a lifestyle?

[@nomebear]

Growing up in a small rural farming community nobody could afford a lifestyle. Nobody! Be they whatever the hell they were, all hands were needed and appreciated.

Fabulous!

[@seioluh5205]

I liked Travis at first then he kissed James while he was crying like bish No

[@dissilymordentroge5818]

On second viewing this is a superb effort in direction, dialogue and acting only ruined in parts by incompetant audio that manages in parts to totally drown dialogue with background noise. Wouldn't be so frustrating if this was a crappy movie, but it's not.

[@AdamTyree]

Yep, sound is hard. Will do better next time.

[@dissilymordentroge5818]

Adam Tyree The quality of the earphones your tech uses could have been to blame although that might be letting them off the hook.

[@pratikshamajee3262]

i don't know how i feel about travis taking advantage of james' vulnerable moment and kissing him but it did help james come out of his closet and face who he is in reality!

[@pavanw]

I think he did just so he can pull James out of closet, he know James is gay from start.

[@phoenixofthestix]

Tis the way with humans and our weird, messy, nonsensical emotions

[@ronsmith2365]

Life goes on....... and it did good this time.

[@donquijotedelamancha3529]

Why is it that we blame others for our mistakes? He didn't take advantage of anything or anyone. They were both vulnerable and mourning. They did what they wanted to do.

[@talastra]

No. We hold others accountable when they do wrong. Travis is too ambiguous of a character not to have bad motives ascribed to him taking advantage of James.@@donquijotedelamancha3529

[@mrduuud]

You don't start kissing someone in the moment they are breaking open their grief for the first time. That's so not on.... Hold him, yes, and nurture him, but give him some space first. It's such a tender moment to take advantage of just for a one night stand.

[@pavanw]

At first I am totally against why the ex took advantage of the brother in his vulnerable state. But I watched the last scene, I got something. James is internal homophobic and his feelings and actions with his brother got him deeper into closet and behaved as per social standards while hurting his brother. Travis got to know of the brother's love and he couldn't get loved back because Jeff is loving James, he brokeup and then got other boyfriend. Now, Travis got James out of the house, spent day together, got to know him. Knowing all along James is gay, got him tipsy and tried to kiss him, then let the secret out and holded James until he collapsed and let out his feelings. Now, Travis kissed James again and lead to sex. Here, Travis got boyfriend, James acknowledged his love and grief for Jeff, both loved same person, but they had sex. Its like Travis kissed because he knows if not, James will feel sad and eventually go back to closet. So, he pulled him out completely through the gay sex. James is very much like Jeff but then he hid himself and acted opposite. He naturally likes Travis and Travis likes back as brothers look similar. Next morning, Travis leaves, saying Jeff loved him too, giving James a closure. James decided to openup his personality and sexuality as what is best way than behaving like Jeff and Travis, damaging car of the ignorant homophobic shit for his words at funeral. He did infront of the man symbolising he is cameout and not afraid anymore.

[@dthompson722]

To me Travis the line when he kiss his ex's brother (James) at a moment the brother was extremely vulnerable. A lot of gay's that have a twin the other twin have same tendencies of the other twin. Still it was the wrong time. It was almost like date rape to me. The the unspoken word of NO, forcing himself on the brother. The vandalizing the car was not the right thing to do to me.. I would've have spray painted the windows telling the world the owner is a Homophobe, no real damage done to the car but a misdemeanor charge, but the real damage was done to the owner reputation telling all what type of person he is.

[@rmercado8138]

@@dthompson722 Painting a “homophobe” sign on the car wouldn’t have shamed the old man because at the funeral he seemed to be very proud of it. Plus, putting that sign on the car may connect the the protagonists to the crime.

[@talastra]

Doing it in the daytime is the mistake@@dthompson722

[@talastra]

I agree that it's not the time. The character "doesn't care about anything" though, so he's there for the nut and the conquest, and his parting line kind of seals it too. James is the hero of the story, not travis.

[@dalia6097]

Okay,, nice short film but the ex is an asshole. You can't just take advantage of someone who is drunk and grieving their brother's death.

[@galileusantana2441]

i tottally agree with ialso think but the situation is só painful and twisted sad and apealing sensual i mean James crying ...din't know i could hold on myself in thiis facto..but still i do think Trevs is a Bitch dick he sair he had a boyfrend in Pasadena and is complicated

[@VeryZesty]

That ex boyfriend had the most obnoxious and fake personality. I liked the film though.

[@Gamer-wn6ky]

Pleaseee this comment is soo funny 😂😂 “my ex was an ass

[@timolee]

WTF so that douche has a boyfriend and cheats on him by taking advantage of his newly dead ex's twin brother while said brother is at a low point and completely destroyed? he needs help.

[@bigbenhebdomadarius6252]

We're dealing with boys here, Nary a grownup in sight. If you want adult behavior, you'll just have to watch something else.

Wow, Great short. You know I love short movies and hate them at the same time because some are so good that you wish they were feature films instead. Nice acting from the two leads. I love James character and the title is brillant. Damn i wish this was longer.

me too! some of them are too good to be short films!

Robertino Birambi Tell me about it. Loved this short.

[@jamesa1995]

Did no one but me pick of the sorta incest vibe lol the way the guy says "he told me about you two" and "he loved you too you know" and no it didn't sound like just a family thing.

[@lugubrioz]

Oh you have no idea what twins do behind the closed bedroom door ;)

[@antaradutta2091]

Blizzardplz dnt be judgemental.. not all twins are same. A few may be confused(depend on the parenting and environment they are in. )...

[@antaradutta2091]

jamesa1995 ya thts why they break up.

[@serhanmt]

incest is so disgusting

[@s2sHoXXs2]

@@lugubrioz That is such a weird statement to make... Twins already have the stereotype of engaging in incest, there are so many jokes about that and people fetishizing it. It's possible for it to happen, but the majority dont engage in incest and its creepy to imply it even for a joke. It makes things hard and uncomfortable for twins.

[@guyinabluetanktop1943]

I'll have you know that i only fell in love with James, after watching this 14 minute film :D

[@boardonroad1646]

good story but kissing him when he's vulnerable and feeling sad about his brother is just cringe and terrible, u can confront him, talk to him, hug him, u shouldn't make a move like that, seems like u don't care about how he's feeling, all u want is sex

[@AdamTyree]

Thanks for the love guys!

[@Lepewhi]

Excellent!! Didn't know what to expect. Good actors and storyline.

[@kwhaley5245]

That was a beautiful short film. I especially liked the ending, with him standing up for his brother instead of just trying to keep the peace, like he did in the beginning.

[@nicoison8434]

Did the ex hinted to his twin about knowing an incest thing?

[@kylehill9981]

"Im not fifteen tears old" "Whatchu tryna say?" COME AT ME HOMIE

[@JakeLikesJoking]

Travis is the type of guy I avoid like the plague. Inconsiderate, selfish, brash, aimless, and a host of other adjectives.

[@SarcasticxLiar]

This was so well produced, great acting and script:)

[@gonzalocavero-o3c]

no really

[@joseavila6422]

YES there was incest. The psychic bond between identical twins can be very strong. It's not unusual for identical twins to experiment sexually with each other during adolescence. Since they share a similar physique, mind and background they don't see it as incestuous. They see it as a form of masturbation but with "themself" so to speak. And because they are psychically connected it is mutually intuitive between them. And this does NOT carry on into adulthood. It is a shared experience and then life goes on. And before I get a lot of backlash...believe me I KNOW!

[@s2sHoXXs2]

7:05 The moment he should have known what (better said who) was coming for him.... :)

[@Alice-zy6gj]

incest

[@angelfmf]

Best ending ever xD

[@primaputra2451]

I sense there's some kind of incest things going on here. The ex dumped Jeff cuz he too under the surface loved James and knowing that James was his brother was frustrating for Jeff, and for both twin. Ex couldn't resist to sleep with Jeff's bro cuz he misses him and probably still loved him. Great story. Keep up the good work!

It was ab ince$t? Weird af

[@oayabacnhoj6855]

I feel extremely out of it, could someone please tell me what just happened.

[@aragornthebrave]

Hmm, I'm not sure either. I think it can been seen in more than one way, but this is how I saw it: Both of the twins were gay, but the one who survived actually had a harder time admitting it. Going with his dead brother's ex was a way of continuing his love for his brother. I don't think the ex was either a 'good' or a 'bad' character. He was also mourning the loss, but not as much, and probably did want to help in his own way. The ending was James standing up against homophobia, which would have not been only cathartic for his own struggle with homophobia, but also with his grief.

[@AlexGonzalez-nn2bk]

WAIT. DOESNT THE EX HAVE A BOYFRIEND?

[@mz6367]

Great acting from both leads ❤

[@HumanSagaVault]

I swear tensions between twins are on a different level, and most of the time the closer ones tend to discover things together, including discovering the sexual things, do it together as well, trust me, i know.

Was James supposed to be gay all along? The sleeping with his brothers ex was weird. Him behaving like him was even weirder. It would have been more believable if it turned out he was possessed by his dead twin.
