Bro - An LGBT short film by Peter Michael

[@jonthewineguy]

This film hits me really hard, because from 2004-2009 I was in exactly the same position -- being completely in love with my best (straight?) friend. We did everything together, spent nearly every day and night together, and were as connected as any two people could possibly be. I think he always suspected I was in love with him, but it wasn't until I actually told him one night that it became an issue. Much like Harris, he left and said he couldn't deal with it. Unlike Harris, he blocked me and has (to this day) never spoken to me again. Looking back, I think he was actually in love with me too, but just had no idea how to go about dealing with the fact that he was emotionally and physically attracted to another man. I literally cry every time I watch this because I always wish my own experience had turned out this way.

BESTIA ENFERMA!!! NO TE QUERIA DE FORMA ROAMANTICA , NI EROTICA, BESTIA ILUSA!!! CONSULTASTE CON UN PSICOLOGO?

"Who would you go gay for? That's you." That was the most adorable thing!!

[@danielperezcvnl6975]

Hola RJV. Que tal? Bueno no sabría decirte si alguien sé hace gay por otro, tampoco si alguien se "hace" gay por otro, lo que puedo contarte es que en algún momento de mí vida trabajé con un chico y él al igual que yo no teníamos mucha experiencia laboral ,y si algunas sentimentales , yo con chicos y el con chicas con el tiempo nos hicimos cercanos y en un punto conversamos y decidimos probar en ese transcurso fue muy agradable él solo estaba conmigo y les había contado a algunos entré esos su familia lo que pasaba entré nosostros. Después de dos años y algunos meses él me habló que se iba del país y que se iba hacer de una novia y se iban juntos. La verdad nunca supe si ella estaba antes, durante o después de nuestra relación nunca me dió motivos de nada y tampoco lo ví vení. Muchos años después lo volví a ver casado con la misma chica y con un niño , hablamos los salude y ví que un hetero puede estar con otro hombre sin volverse gay. No te estoy inventando una historia me sucedió y no tendría porque hacerlo al final no te conozco. Si tuve otros encuentros con otros heteros uno muy corto de 10 meses y los otros sólo curiosidad y más nada. Pero como Alexander el colombiano ningún otro.

Lol, this shit never happens unless the guy is closeted gay guy...but if he's really straight, it doesn't happen.

I desperately need a sequel to this. I wanna see how their relationship develops!!! Maybe it would be called "Babe" instead of "Bro." I would hope it goes well for them.

Me too. (Just watched it again.)

[@t1234odd5]

I've got the biggest grin on my face. All gay shorts should be like this. All the others just spread hate and have bad endings for people who are already going through shit. Thank you for this

[@kephalopod3054]

Where can I find more short gay videos that end well like this? I know that IRL it is much harder to find love than to find affordable housing in clikey Vancouver, so might as well dream on...

[@hazelnutspred3348]

those other films youre referring to shed light on much bigger issues than falling in love with your straight friend. maybe you should be more appreciative of what you have

You mean where straight guys suddenly turn gay? lol This short is stupid. Straight guy don't just become gay.

"I thought I'd give it a try." Harris wants love. Aaron is offering it. Harris wants love more than sex. Aaron wants love more than sex. The perfect couple.

[@d.j.7069]

Every relationship that's going to work for any period of time needs the sexual element. People need to satisfy each other somehow. They just left that to the imagination for the sake of sweetness!

I’ve watched this movie twice, -not consecutively- and I’ve enjoyed it both times. Especially the end. It was such a welcome relief after thinking the gay friend was going to end up alone. GREAT WORK!!!!!!

[@steveesque]

I saw this once before and I think the story is touching and believable. It reminds me a time when I was bisexual and a bit aloof with my heart. This too reflects a innocent time in these two mens lives. Well done

Ok. But I can't be the only one who thinks the brunette dude was way too good for the blonde dude...he was nice, loyal to a fault and absolutely precious. Nonetheless a good short 🙂

Lol IMO it usually is the case, because the gay guy lusting after the friend is invested and the straight one isn't.

[@scottgrey5980]

I have a straight friend like this. He was always about the pussy and we were very close. Still are. I eventually told him I was in love with him. It didn’t affect our relationship. We’ve done things together and I ended it. We are still friends and we talk often. I live on the east coast and he lives in the west because of his job. I still love him. The reason I ended it was because he was too into being macho which was something his parents engrained into him. It was all about sports alllllllllll the time. That and the constant beers! I just couldn’t take it. So I ended it. The blonde guy in this film had redeeming qualities and was willing to learn and wanted to. My friend was not like this. I still love him but he won’t ever change. Just some things he says if very offensive and it’s a joke to him. Hes never mean about it but I can’t be with someone like that.

[@costanzomusicworld]

Wow, this was really cute. It kept my interest until the end and then I wanted more! Great job on this shortie!

[@sann5146]

Well that certainly was a twist at the end hehe! I expected Aaron to take the "chivalrous" route and say something like "we'll never see eye to eye on this so we'll just keep this as a friendship". But that's really neat that Harris is willing to genuinely try and Aaron will indeed go after what he has wanted. Well it does take two to tango 😉.

[@didierbizimana2759]

Life may be less than perfect most of the time we do need such hopeful ending!!! Even just to remind us to hold on to our feelings. Thank a lot, it's a wonderful short movie

[@santiagorosatto5122]

Vos no estás bien, tenés que ir a un psicólogo urgente.

[@RodrigoAlgorta]

The dark blonde guy is gorgeous, those eyes omg. The short was great. I liked the ending, although it's something that may happen once in a trillion times on these situations. Is not bad to have hopes and go for it but it is also wise to think things through and put everything in the balance. I once preferred to keep it to my self with a girl that is my friend to this very day because I knew she wasn't into me, she was always dating some other boy and I was just her friend so I preferred to never say it and preserver that friendship that otherwise would have been most surely lost even if we got together. Sometimes couple relationships are not what you expect, they are not the same as friend relationships. It's very difficult to separate things and very difficult not to lose on thing or the other, or maybe both and lose the person completely.

[@nicholasr5988]

Hey Peter, Lots of silly comments by guys who know nothing about the subtlety of feelings. Your film is simply lovely, the acting is fine, in fact the natural feel is just right. You don't need histrionics to tell this story. It's the undertone that counts and here that undertone is genuine and perfectly believable throughout. Clearly, Harris too is either gay himself or bisexual. That comes though in his behavior and his unconvincing obsession about one night stands he thinks are all consuming love or something. I guess the only thing that is somewhat in question is how come he would accept the realization that he might be gay or bisexual with such seeming serenity. But then, you're trying to create an atmosphere and the film is short. No time for conflicts or tortured soul-searching. Overall WONDERFUL. Thank you for making it. Cheers from the USA.

[@petermichaelwakeling]

Nicholas Rand thanks so much Nicholas! really appreciate that. check out my other film Consequence! glad to hear your take

[@nicholasr5988]

I saw it, liked it and just now realized that you're the director of both. Consequence has a very real feel to it as well but I have a personal preference for your first one because of the subtlety. Aaron is really well portrayed; his facial expressions, blushes, his shyness and low key joy at the end are touching. :) Keep up the good work and make more! You're very talented, Peter and I hope you'll go far. Nicholas

[@prlaux5348]

What a great short! It shows a soul revealing his feelings to another and that the receiver of his affection, is willing to entertain the possibility of a relationship with them although it's not what their accustomed to. Love is a gift. No matter it's form. I love that Harris is willing o broaden his horizons with his best mate. I can think of no other way to spend the rest of my life with the person I call my best friend. Harris, though timidly, is at least willing to "test the waters." It take a big man with faith, to venture into the unknown. BTW....yeah, the actors, well.....there was a lack of acting continuity, but a few acting lessons would be in order. Sequel?

[@TheRobemt171]

They need to turn this into a full length movie. I want to see this relationship play out. or at leadt do a sequel.

[@briankraemer8139]

That is so sweet. Probably, it wouldn't work out for the "straight" guy, but I totally can believe that a straight guy can love a gay guy and certainly a gay guy can love a straight guy. I'm 59, will be 60 in a few weeks, and I personally find my most meaningful loving relationships with straight guys who know how to hug and enjoy hugging me. They find my ability to express my affection and love for them endearing and I find their masculinity and love for their wives and children beautiful and endearing as well. I would love to meet a gay guy in his forties who isn't "out" yet and we just meet in the course of daily life, maybe shopping at the local Trader Joe's. I've watched a lot of LGBT shorts and this was one of the best written and best acted I've seen. Thank you, Peter Michael for your terrific story. :-)

oh my watch the movie twice just love it great job

[@joeowens6180]

An amazing little film, with a most unlikely attraction. To be truthful, Aaron really did show honest love just by being willing to try something so very unlikely - that's sacrificial love right there, which may, or may not, develop. Very classy filming, and my ear detected an Australian accent - a very refined one. Film abounds with good taste. Personally, I really adored the more serious guy. Too beautiful for words.

[@CanadianJewel]

Certainly an interesting concept. I would like to see this developed into a longer film, most because I think its far more common than people think. Well done!

[@TheMrsMane]

People taking about the horrible acting: I think the acting was pretty damn good, but the way it was filmed, the cuts, the position of the camera, aperture and sound settings might have given off that impression. So considering that this was probably done on a tight budget, I think it's pretty good.

[@fbowler]

I remember a few months ago I watched this film on a different account. I commented how I was a straight girl who just loved LGBTQ movies and felt strongly for LGBTQ causes. Now I'm back but I'm a NOT straight girl. I think I'm bisexual. I'm not sure but I know I like boys. And I like girls. And you know what thats okay.

[@irmaa8291]

Some years ago I thought too that I was a straight girl, and I felt strongly for LGBTQ causes, now I think I'm bi. It took me some time to realize that, mainly because at that time I thought that you could only be gay or straight, I didn't even know the word bisexual.

[@billygardener19]

When making movies, it's always important to make realistic pairings. It makes the action more believable and the audience more involved and caring.

[@petermichaelwakeling]

+Bill Christie Opposites attract. I find that sometimes the most unlikely of pairings making the best friendships. So I have to respectfully disagree with you on this.

[@nalandatendar4212]

+Bill Christie I agree with you; no chemistry is quite disturbing also when opposites attract; one guy is not in the others league

[@wlxgrf]

Nalanda Tendar so what? Don't be victim to society's prescribed "rule book" of who you can and can't be with based solely on whether they'll make a picture perfect magazine cover couple. Shallow people (when they can actually tear their eyes away from the social media that is programming them to like only what sells and makes money, thus selling more, and making more money, and propagating the endless cycle! When will humanity wake up?) are slating this short for "bad acting", and "unrealistic pairing", but this is real life, people. It's not a Hollywood make-believe, with ACTORS (go look it up, InstaSheep), portraying the beautiful couple that will make everybody happy.

[@skinheadbrianvonr4716]

surprisingly enough, i really liked this. unusual ending, but not inappropriate for the story. when all is said & done, a cute film with a good message.

[@1988dongiovanni]

Enjoyed this short - thanks for sharing your work :)

[@KaliSidharth]

Lol the ending "hey if we're doing this dating thing your living room needs to be clean" 🤣🤣🤣

[@girlygi96]

I see a lot of criticism about this ending but I do believe that someone can like/fall in love with someone of the same gender if they identify as straight without slapping a label on as gay. I see it as just so happening to fall in love with somebody regardless of gender. It's very confusing when put into words but not everything is about labels. You can be a gay man and fall in love with a girl, does that make you straight or automatically mean you are attracted to more females than just her? No. Definitely possible but not always the case. Same goes vice versa. A straight male can fall in love with his male best friend, does that means he's attracted to guys, no it means he's fallen for his best friend as a person, regardless of his gender.

[@gigem1977]

I agree. Google Kinsey scale.

[@luckyshaz703]

hmmm, food for thought. falling for the person

[@galaxydriver32]

That's so true!

[@charlieglendo5933]

Stephanie Mercer you're so right! My husband doesn't see himself as gay he finds women attractive in general but he fell for me, (a guy,) and his mind saw my body as attractive, even if it wasn't a women's. So it does happen.

[@melonsoda123]

I believe when we start labeling, that's when we run into problems.

[@guild79s]

This short film was perfect from start to finish. Nice work.

[@ZeitloseEinsicht]

I subscribed after watching "Consequence" long time ago and today I saw this one on my feeds and watched both... again. I should apologize because the accent sometimes can be annoying but sometimes I find it weirdly hot as well lol. Idc about the acting, subpar but tolerable. I still like the actors tho. The storyline is something many people can relate to or appreciate at the very leastt becase it's real, it happens. Simple and direct. The film was able to relay the message in just 21 mins when so many films can take a hour or more but you get nothing in the end or drags for so long when a newbie film student can compress it in 15 or less lol. Anyway, same with "Consequences" I like this "Bro" film as well, I even liked Jordan's bloopers. Sadly, Peter never made anymore film after these two and last post was 4 years ago. This could've been a real big channel. Not sure what happened, I hope he and the other guys here are somewhere out there successful doing what they like doing achieving their dreams.

Finally, a good film about heteroflexibility, I LOVE IT! You can be a man and be I love with a man and not be gay or bisexual. Awesome Job! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@petermichaelwakeling]

James B. Scott thanks so much!

[@Ohcomeon369]

I think the awakening is that it is not even "not be gay or bisexual". It's simply life force and flow. It just happens. More like--SURPRISE! Complete opennnes.

Now I'm smiling from ear to ear OMG Harris is so idk caring...? Like, giving it a try for ur best friend?! Who would do that? Aaron is so lucky and the las part in Aaron's room what Harris said was hilarious I loved this film and actually, the comments are exaggerated I mean the acting was SO NOT THAT BAD I mean I'd give it a 7/10 which definitely is not bad and when they had that fight id say Harris did it better But the film itself for me is 9/10 (one being for the acting sorry) But it's actually worth watching at the end is really satisfying

[@EDH-kp6xi]

beautiful film, 'if there was someone I'd go gay for it'd be you' - loved it !

[@rodgerthreadgill5655]

The ending was INCREDIBLE.........if we are going to do this you have to get your shit together....PRICELESS

[@spice8blackman]

This was decent. I know a lot of hard work went into this, so I want to be fair with my criticism. The characters were good. Harris spoke with his hands a lot which was distracting. He also paced too much in the final scene. A more stationary shot with a tighter angle on the actors face would capture the emotion better. Aaron was good but his feelings for Harris need more scenes or development. The storyline is great. I myself have experienced this struggle with a friend. This story is very relatable. Great job. Hope to see more!

[@Noex63]

Perfect match...Harris probably has a huge tool and he's totally focused on it...and Aaron is also totally focused on Harris's huge tool...lovely!

[@melyui8155]

I watched your short movie and I enjoyed it, even though the ending, i think would likely never happen. Even so, I liked the ending and wished that life would be like that, where more people would be towards the open mindedness of trying out something new, even if it didnt work out. But i think people even today, are still just a bit too closed minded for that to occur. Which is sad, but true.. I look forward to seeing your next short film.

[@ddrissel]

Oh, I think the end could easily happen, though not quite the way it occurred in the film. I had a best friend in college who identified as straight. But one night, I came out to him in tears. A few weeks later he seduced me. He claimed that he had never had conscious gay feelings until he met me. That was in the late 1970s when we were in college. We dated for a while, but eventually grew apart romantically after we graduated and moved away. We stayed good friends though, even though we live in different cities. He met the man of his dreams and has been living with him for over three decades.

When he said “I can’t believe you just said that too me” it reminded me of that clip of the guy getting slapped in the face and saying “I can’t believe you’ve done this” i think it’s because of the accent lolol

[@feefeegirl]

That was so cute it was adorable and awkward very realistic I just loved it

[@remigiusjulius1489]

this was the best short drama i've ever seen before. Great Job!

[@ricktomlinson5481]

+Remius Tim check out 'Homeland' short gay film that really nails it at all levels ! And all the best to you ! I enjoyed this film as well !

[@carment.duplessis9125]

Ending saves the whole thing. I love how open minded it is.

[@smoothsilk47]

That was a sweet little film, it held my attention which doesn't always happen. Good contrasts between the characters, I wonder how it would have ended in real life! Maybe we will see!

[@luckyshaz703]

hmmmm... the acting still has a long way to go but i really loved the ending. it was awesome. the camera work was great. the bestfriends were hotttt. #delish. and the storyline was beutyful and very well potrayed. the ending was really funny but also really sweet. i enjoyed this. great job!

[@petermichaelwakeling]

Lucky shaz thanks so much!

[@leeslegwarmers]

You've improved in leaps and bounds!!! I can't wait to see your next project. ;3

[@nickknatterton3977]

Who says that Harris is straight. He didn´t "try" guys before. He would never make this offer to Aaron it he would´nt have some feelings for him. So let him try. He is open to find it out. Maybe he is still confused...but who knows maybe his feelings grow up...Then he will know, that he like girls and boys. The world is colourful. That´s it. There is so much more than right or left and nothing and all!!!!!!!!!!!!And that´s what I like in this movie. (But please Harry: wash your hair)

[@petermichaelwakeling]

Some good points there, Nick! Glad you enjoyed the film :)

[@TsunamiJuri]

I tell you what if Aarron (or the actor Riley) said that to me I'd have kissed him faster than you can say "wow where did that come from". I mean that voice alone, but yes I agree if he never thought about guys like that then it's possible. I'm not saying all guys need to try both men and woman to be sure of their sexuality, but I do think that everyone needs to at least think about all their options, and you never know that might be why it didn't work out with those girls... Thanks for the film.

[@nickknatterton3977]

+Tobias Rye. Yeah. I mean it´s less a matter of "thinking" but more a matter of "feeling". It´s right: if somebody is sure, why looking for the other gender? But if you feel "SOMETHING" like Aaron in this movie, and you´re not sure what it is, why not figure this out? For me it´s not important to be sure if you´re gay or not. (Maybe Aaron is bi). It´s important to know if I love somebody or not. In this case: Aaron loves his mate.

[@ABIGAIL3246]

If each and everyone were supposed to be confused about their sexuality, what a world it would have been. The more you find early , the better. But remember we will each be judged according to our deeds.

[@rhymofficial1243]

I really liked this film, bro. Great work!

[@alexmontrose8004]

This was great! I wish it was a full length film. I really enjoy the dynamic between the two main characters. And it would've been nice if there was a longer running time to properly flesh them out beyond "the book geek" and "the party whore". But still a very good film.

[@petermichaelwakeling]

+Alex Montrose Thanks Alex! I would love to make this as a feature. It would definitely allow more time to explore the characters and narrative. One day perhaps.

[@alexmontrose8004]

+Peter Michael I'll keep all my available appendages crossed!

[@kej1166]

No, no, no & hell NO!! This is so fantastically UNREALISTIC, as a gay man, it just pissed me the hell off. No STRAIGHT dude is gonna do this, EVER!!! I'm really feeling some kind of way right now, aargh........

[@TPR38655]

pretty good,script needs more fleshing out. end scene need more. Main Characters are good like-able I want to know more about them. I'd for sure watch another film by you

[@notaboutthat1219]

Yaas thank you🙏 that was amazing. Surprise, unexpectedness and unusual love relationships ( gay guy with straight friend) are exactly what is lacking in movies nowadays.
