Pleasure to work with you as always. When are we making the next one? 🎥

Thanks bro and soon :)

Absolutely heartwarming! This beautifully captures the essence of how technology can bridge generations and bring families closer together. The way you portrayed the relationship between the boy and his dad through video games is so touching. It's a reminder that sometimes the simplest moments shared can create the strongest bonds. Kudos to the team for creating such a poignant narrative!

[@SaintCityStudios]

Thank you so much glad that came across as we wanted to look at how the people we play the games with are just as important as the game itself :)

This short serves as a reminder to those who say, "you can't make memories playing video games", as they clearly never had someone to play with. This video reminds me of when my Mom. who passed away two years ago, was introduced to VR by my Dad and I. I hope that all gaming parents continue to game with their children in addition to other things. Those memories count.

[@SaintCityStudios]

Thank you for your comment and my condolences to your late mother. I'm glad the message of the film resonated with you :)

[@DanielS2001]
