That was really good, and really sad. My sister has down syndrome, I loved her so much she passed away and it broke me 💔 It's been 20yrs and I've never gotten over it, I don't think I ever will. She died two months before her sixteenth bday from meningitis, septicaemia. It took her in a day, we had to turn the machine off I went in with my parents to do so and I wish I never did, septicaemia is the worse thing to see someone suffering from it, all her blood was seeping out of every pore on her body. I'll never forget it. RIP my angel 💙

I'm really glad you enjoyed it. Sorry to hear about your sister. 😢💔

Wow, beautifully done. Such a deep emotional stirring created by all 3 actors .. that itself was perfect! Hats off to all the production team for making this so well 👌

[@detrajackson5992]

All I can say is WOW!! This was so damn amazing!! All of the actors in this did an an awesome job! I will just ask that when this becomes a full length feature, use the same actors!

[@screamfestla]

I’m sure the filmmaker will love to hear this!

That young boy was an amazing actor! I'm glad he walked away at the end, she didn't deserve him being around. She was just as bad as that guy with tattoos. Great short movie 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

@@Mr.Sp0cK to see the synopsis hopefully without the spoilers via people being kind enough to put up a spoiler warning. I hate being one of the only ones that do that but even I forget on occasion...which usually leads me to deleting and rewriting my comment out.

Downs syndrome honestly creates humans better than the rest of us. Their fragility is so unfair to their beautiful humanity. This was so well done, I hope there are more to come! Kudos to this entire team on this one!

[@shardinhand1243]

Downs syndrome honestly creates humans better than the rest of us, you would be called racist if there were a were for your insanity... but like any racist, you are unwell, get treatment, please if not for your own sake then for everyone elses.

[@guinevereobroin5712]

No and this sort of rhetoric is what shames parents. The reality is that it creates a child who never learns that they get stronger as they grow up and throwing a tantrum actually breaks their parents bones, leaves them with bruises. They are simply a toddler in a grown adult body and when then don't get their way, they can get violent. Come to the parent support groups, listen to the desperation that people face and the pain. One woman recently, her "boy" of 37 pushed her down the stares because she asked him to keep it down in his bedroom. She has a broken hip. They are not better people.

[@alo5301]

The boy was the last man on earth. At least the last with a good heart. 'Nobody is perfect'. I suppose the woman meant herself.....

Really enjoy "shorts." So many can say so much in a matter of minutes & this was one of those. Gripping from beginning to the end. I've watched whole movies that didn't pack near the punch. It gives the viewer something to think about.(& hopefully learn from.) 👏👏👏

Is this slightly based on the amazing book by Isaac Asimov? I see quite a few references. No one is perfect and I love it that way. Differences make us truly beautiful. ❤

There’s nobody in the comment section, no one in live chat! Y’all must have ate to much turkey 😂😂lol I

[@screamfestla]

😂

[@DethronerX]

Really great actors but i dont understand why they arent mixing sound properly, especially the dialogue. Its not EQd, and normalized properly, so softer becomes too soft and we have to turn it up and then suddenly someone talks louder and we have to turn it down. The sound is totally ruining the experience for me.

[@raziel3726]

Amazing Movie 👍🏻👍

[@screamfestla]

Really glad you liked it! ❤️

[@Ingothnia]

Mandatory experimental shots? Psst, pure fiction.

That was amazing! And it is also a warning to those who abort children that are marked with downes Syndrom! All children matters!!!

Downs Syndrome. You need only to use Spell Check.

[@GradKat]

A “warning”? Don’t be so judgemental.

well then you pay for their care and support the family then

[@shardinhand1243]

1:26 prediciton, the message of this film will be genetic improvment bad, natural gud... i hope im wrong... in all the ages we could have right now... i hope im wrong about this backwards thinking.

[@RK-qh3ll]

Meh...a tad too dramatic and moralistic for a horror short IMO. Great lead actress though. Production, camera, setting and lighting all great. The story started off great and I feel like this had lots of potential, but when ya see the handicapped man and then the random showing up in studio, the ending already wrote itself..very predictable.

[@honestytruth828]

Her walk was distracting me 😂😬
