Quirks | Short Film

[@MaxiWolf88]

Being weird and eccentric makes the world more entertaining, I think. I loved this cute story!

[@rustycoupeproductions]

I love seeing how different people are to me, it definitely makes the world more entertaining

[@brentfugett2700]

I love the character's self sufficiency. Loneliness is hard but being with the wrong person is often a lot worse. Society stinks with this "if you're not in a relationship you're flawed" undercurrent.

[@rustycoupeproductions]

I completely agree! Being in a relationship is not needed, it's best to wait for a good match

[@johnrob3215]

​@@rustycoupeproductionswhen do you know if its a good match?

[@pablozee6359]

Experience has taught me that loneliness can be tough sometimes, but being in forced or toxic relationships is far worse for your mental and spiritual health. At this point in my life, I don’t have to put on a mask or be anything other than myself for the friends and family I keep close. I love that the character felt the importance to stay genuine and made a real connection with a person with similar quirks.

[@rustycoupeproductions]

100% in agreement. It's better to be alone than being in a toxic relationship, though sometimes it might take a while for people to realize it.

[@burkeiowa]

So many people fear being alone and never realize that they always have the narrator around for company.

[@rustycoupeproductions]

Good ol' reliable narrator 😂

[@longfootbuddy]

now if she can find 8 other reindeer, and a sleigh.. they can go shopping

[@GD-tt6hl]

Verowak could show up in a beekeepers suit and the guy would be thrilled.

[@rustycoupeproductions]

Until he sees my bee minions ready to strike!! 🤣

[@goodshipkaraboudjan]

Lol that was sweet and nicely made. Reminded me of when I was just out of high school and a friend of a friend and I never really spoke or got along until one day at a birthday party I was wearing a Ferrari F1 hat and he showed up wearing a Kimi Raikkonen shirt (Ferrari F1 driver). Instant friends and we're in our 30s now and still good mates. It's special when you unexpectedly find someone as nerdy about something as you.

[@rustycoupeproductions]

That's so awesome!! It just goes to show that friendship can be just around the corner, all it takes is a common interest to kick start it!!

[@randywebb2100]

I am blown away, this was fantabulous. I was actually in my high school production of Oklahoma by Roger's and Hammerstein during my senior year of high school. If I was wearing a buc-ee's onesie and met Verowak in a Reindeer onesie, I would take the chance to connect with each other one on one

[@rustycoupeproductions]

Thank you so much! We didn't have drama class in high school, which was a bummer. I hope you enjoyed being in the different productions in high school

[@johnhadley2179]

I love this. You all are great!!

[@rustycoupeproductions]

Thank you so much!! 🤩

[@Bookworm-ye9qi]

When he walked out the door, I was like "no stupid"

[@rustycoupeproductions]

I guess the outfit wasn't what he was expecting 🤣

[@exoterric]

My inner voice was saying "Not worthy anyway".

[@positivelynegative9149]

That's a reindeer? I thought it was a moose. 🤣

[@rustycoupeproductions]

I do think it's a moose, but the line "Oh deer" was too good to pass up 🤣

[@JamesKenobi1138]

Very creative story, I like it! Thanks for sharing.

[@rustycoupeproductions]

My pleasure!!! I love sharing stories

[@PhilospherStoned]

loved the short film, found some laughs and honestly felt emotional when the main character ran into another person with a onesie lol sometimes you never know when you’ll come across like minded people and when you do it’s a really great feeling

[@rustycoupeproductions]

I'm glad to hear that!! It's definitely a great feeling being able to come across someone that has similarities. A breath of fresh air at times!

[@dedcowbowee]

That was funny and adorable!

[@rustycoupeproductions]

Thank you!! I do love making people laugh :D

[@toy4871]

Duuuude! If i were him, I would have been like: lets go get matching onesies!!! Stay weird friends!!!!!

[@rustycoupeproductions]

I know, right?! 😍🥰 Matching onesies would be amazing

[@Ernwaldo]

You’ll soon be debuting something at tiff. Then probably collecting a Palm d’Or, Golden Globe or Academy Award. Amazing work. 👏🏻🎉

[@rustycoupeproductions]

Here's hoping!! 🤩

[@Ernwaldo]

@@rustycoupeproductions Reach for those stars. 🌟 And no matter what, keep on smiling! 🙂

[@user-vc5rp7nf8f]

this was like stranger than fiction but with onesies

[@rustycoupeproductions]

Everything is better with onesies 😂

[@loonz1969]

Nicely acted and a sweet story. Well done!

[@rustycoupeproductions]

Thank you!! Short and sweet 😁

[@mattbiggs1992]

Omg I love it! The end was so sweet with acknowledging the narrator and Susie finally meeting someone who shared their love of Onesies! Honestly I think the guy did Susie a favour because if a date turned up in a Onesie that would be amazing! And to just ghost her? How rude! It might not even have been Susie for all he knew! Not gunna lie though I did think it was a moose until reindeer was mentioned 😂

[@rustycoupeproductions]

I wanted a happy ending, and it was perfect!! I do think it's a moose, but I wanted to use the line "Oh deer" so I went with reindeer 🤣

[@mattbiggs1992]

@@rustycoupeproductions d'oh! (doe 😂) Ok reindeer it is 😄

[@Scott_Burton]

Well, unlike Jack, I would have come up the stairs to meet you. Figured out if our humors are compatible and worked from there. Just because you're wearing a onesie that seems out of place doesn't make you a lost cause.

[@johnrob3215]

Could you simp any harder?

[@positivelynegative9149]

This hit close to home. I haven't touched another living creature in over 3 years. Not a handshake, a hug, or even petted a dog or cat. 😔

[@rustycoupeproductions]

:( I know some cities have volunteer opportunities with pet rescues where you can walk and spend time with the animals if that's something you are able to do

[@brentfugett2700]

Our family does that. It's really an awesome way to bond with multiple critters and not be financially obligated. Love it!!

[@exoterric]

Hey dude, I hear you. I'm a cis-pan-ace-demisexual male veteran raised in a cult with abusive parents and now I have crippling PTSD and social anxiety . I don't make friends much less date anymore. Too few humans possess the compassion and empathy necessary to have a chance at connecting. I've been married twice to people who loved me but couldn't handle the real me. I don't even remember what a kiss feels like. Such is life for us weirdos. Just remember that even if it's hard for you to reach out to real people, you are still valuable and the world is better off for having you. My dude, I'd give you a big warm papa bear hug if I could.

[@liberator8858]

Nice. Like all shot film have message. Yes! F*ck the standard🎉 people are intelligent been (more or less 💩). judge by actions and not by tag

[@rustycoupeproductions]

Exactly, never judge a book by its cover!

[@little_forest]

What is the second onesie?

[@rustycoupeproductions]

A devil onesie

[@exoterric]

"cool it with the eccentrics" ? Terrible advice. We're not aliens, we just connect differently. I love this. Good job yoohoos

[@rustycoupeproductions]

Exactly!! This is exactly the message, we don't connect with everyone, but finding those we do connect with is so great!

[@Spidercat616]

Verowak has become Deadpool!

[@rustycoupeproductions]

Now I just need to basically be immortal!!

[@user-vc5rp7nf8f]

i'd be happy to have a girl like verowak. cute, pretty, seems like a nice person

[@rustycoupeproductions]

I try to be nice to everyone, makes the world a better place

[@AKarrit]

What an awesome short film

[@rustycoupeproductions]

Thank you so much!! 😊

[@doougle]

Nice! I love it! Although I'm more of a moose guy 🙂

[@rustycoupeproductions]

I say it's a moose, but there's no good pun or line for it :D "Oh deer" is my crowning achievement for this film 😁

[@doougle]

Yeah, me too

[@GD-tt6hl]

So would like, everyone. That's the irony of this.

[@user-vc5rp7nf8f]

same

[@johnrob3215]

BTW...it's a moose. Is that you keep calling it a reindeer part of the message? Part of the eccentricities? Splain.

[@rustycoupeproductions]

I wanted to say "oh deer" so I made it a reindeer. "Oh moose" doesn't really work

[@johnrob3215]
