[@JohnTLyon]

There are some films that just stop you in your tracks. This is one of them.

[@juanchopingo]

When the credits rolled I started crying. The worst thing about being suicidal is that... its a voice, something that never lets you go, no matter the years, the situation. It doesnt matter that everything is alright. You suddenly find yourself pointing a knife at you, the voice speaking again. "Im here to finish what we started." You fight it, everyday.

[@spectralghooost3256]

This comment is more real than I would like to admit.

[@iTryAmaze]

please dont stop making art. You’re creations bring me a peace I haven’t felt since I was a young kid. Thank you.

[@David1807m]

There's no way coda made you feel peace

[@vviktoire]

@@David1807m code is a piece of art that can actually bring people peace imo. it shows how humanity is always wanting to see "more" and experience "more" despite of their choices. and on the other side it shows how death is "motherly" over life

[@David1807m]

@@vviktoire idk, coda gives me negative feelings, maybe it's just my ego

[@RP-ez2jm]

@@David1807mdid the beginning worry you?

[@David1807m]

@@RP-ez2jm nah, just the fact that they guy couldn't go back, he was just obligated to die when he wasn't ready, but at the end it seems like he accepted it

[@jay3845]

Beyond beautiful, you somehow managed to capture the complexity in sitting with silence and overcoming wanting death

[@Kerrsing]

This animation is so soothing and expressful, I feel privileged to witness such talent.

[@LuzAnyela]

Coda is my all-time comfort short, I knew once I saw you uploaded this film that it would be amazing. I just couldn't hold my tears, this is incredibly well done.

[@SavageXD9]

Coda is amazing! You should watch “A modern odyssey” by IN-SHADOW, another great short it’s my favorite

[@andresfung5339]

Coda its been with me for some many years. Once in a while I revisit, create a tattoo inspired on it.

[@laniakeas92]

Watching these shorts is like going through a very therapeutic enlightening mushrооm trip. This is top-tier art. Thank you for creating another masterpiece.

[@KJ7Tillymann]

Back when I was in the military, I remember one night that I had become so angry I destroyed most of my room. At a video game. I felt so disgusted at my rage, so insecure about my lack of agility in thinking, and I felt so hopeless and useless. I remember thinking there would be no one awake. No one to help. I just sat there with my own desires to die. Listening to those desires berating me and telling me about the razor scissors that were in the drawer below me. I couldn’t move. I was frozen in fear of what I’d do if I got off that bed. Frozen in fear of my own hands. I woke up in the morning. The desires of self harm gone, but there wasn’t any relief in me. The self hatred was still there. It had just simply gone back to the depths to pull me down another day. These people truly are lucky to have this old man to talk them off the edge. It’s a terrifying place to be.

[@deuphoria2587]

How are you now? ❤

[@KJ7Tillymann]

@@deuphoria2587 thank you for asking, but I’m honestly not sure. I kept myself feeling better while I’m the military by thinking that I’d feel better once I’m out, but I don’t feel better honestly. I feel pretty empty, and the only thing I have to looking forward to is a curiosity of how the wildlife trails will change after I replace the invasive plants with things that the wildlife can use. I had a night about a week ago where I wanted to give up, and I convinced myself not to by thinking of stuff I wanted to see or do before I die. Can’t remember what those things were now though. I appreciate your concern, it means a lot in a world of cold shoulders

[@nunews]

What a gorgeous film. The story, art direction, animation, sound engineering, voice acting - all phenomenal! Well done to everyone involved 👏

[@erik_arman]

Had to just sit for a while after finishing this. Very touching and beautiful.

[@HUDIE_YAM]

정말 아름다운 영상이네요. 마음에서부터 따뜻한 무언가가 올라오는 기분이 들어요. 예술활동을 멈추지 말아주세요. 정말 멋지다고 생각해요.

[@oserty]

i’m in love with the sound design here

[@safiyacoker9115]

This film is so beautiful, it made me cry. The simplicity and potency of the title "Teacups" that encompasses the long deary but pertinent nights that changed the course of those person's life, giving hope when the sun rises. Which made it hit even more deeply when his friend of all those years died by the same method he protected so many from. And I can't even begin to talk about the animation. The use of light on the cliff, the lines, just incredible work. The music as well that gave depth to each moment, beautiful. To imagine this is a real story

[@lukeemberson5309]

This was perfect in every way in my opinion. It deserves so much more attention than it currently has. I even think it’s better than coda. Absolutely stunning

[@di9645]

Our little spec of dust is full of incredible stories.

[@_spineless]

I knew this would be amazing. It feels so special to see this work of art that has only been seen by a thousand others. You are such a beautiful channel and I will forever have this downloaded somewhere.

[@perdasche]

didn’t even notice that we were among a few to witness this. i am beyond honoree and thankful

[@blobofdespair]

You've done this hero a great justice by creating such a beautiful piece. I hope this reaches more people so they can learn his story. The animations are stunning. They have a lovely sense of movement to them. So well done.

[@marcelinepink]

Wow, just wow. I feel honored to be able to see this, just to see it. You're a bunch of geniuses, goddammit.

[@shuddabinswollode]

ive experienced both the internally, manically miserable silence as well as the comforting, warm silence amongst friends, strangers and loved ones beautiful visuals and the voice, effects and music threaded it all together so elegantly. so touching

[@snapdragon0897]

This made me cry for the first time in many many years. But it wasn't a bad cry, like I remembered. Truly well done lad. And I hope you're doing well

[@patricebrown777]

Too deep for words. Profoundly understood. Thank you ❤

[@ENROF]

Офигеть. Я даже не знал про него. Испытываю глубокую благодарность к нему за спасённые души

[@AriktaVernekar-u6q]

Such simple and effective story-telling! Inspirational work.

[@Amerwiccan]

This is beautiful as expected. The story was told really well.

[@LetsBuyPizzaNow]

The fact that this was a real person inspires me, it should inspire all of you to.

[@fanfals]

Sometimes people just need someone they can sip tea with

[@eliza-uo6nk]

Had a lump of emotion stuck in my throat the whole time I was watching this. Found I was holding my breath waiting for the stranger with the cigarette to turn around off the cliff. Absolutely stunning short film. Thank you 🙏

[@moobala5580]

Very haunting yet comforting short. Loved the use of color and feel. I really liked the scene where the man goes into the ocean and it "felt" like he was just floating. Really strong

[@marymarshall5134]

Wow this really moved something inside me. Sometimes I wish someone with a cup of tea would reach out to me.

[@gamingbruv]

I don't know how but thank you for making me feel compassion. It's warm and soft.

[@DANDIIDAY1111]

Powerfully beautiful from story to animation

[@nielsencs]

Beautiful. Of course. Thank you.

[@lucas-e4j3y]

fantastic story telling. thank you for sharing this art online.

[@nostalgia_junkie]

ABSOLUTE ARTISTRY

[@catwhispurrer137]

10:00 at night, I watched this, and now long for a cup of tea; chai, to be exact, only the caffeine would keep me awake all night.

[@rusteth_art]

One of the best short films I’ve seen, and that is saying something.

[@lizmeza8912]

majestic, completely emotional. What a journey for a shortfilm. Love your work!

[@leftpastsaturn67]

You folks do the most beautiful work. Long may it continue.

[@LotusVilla]

Captured the very essence of Don Ritchie.

[@TheBoomamatic]

Exquisite as ever, wonderful use of colour and I didn't expect such a honeyed Australian accent, absolutely flabbergasted I didn't place Hugo Weaving as its source

[@shontaymoses5350]

So it's like sharing a story with a cup of tea and saving a life 😮😮😮 that is so beautiful and sweet 💞💞💞

[@IBiancoNeve]

Hauntingly beautiful. May I never come to this cliff...

[@szczesciejestkoloruczarneg749]

this is artistic af 💯

[@icy-hearted-angel]

Wow... I appreciate this little video so much. (So often I find myself "on the cliff," trying to back away from it for the sake of the few people I love...) Please don't stop creating.

[@texasred2702]

Don Ritchie "the Angel of the Gap" RIP

[@KingBirdyFilms]

Extraordinarily well made!

[@j.6023]

Beautiful, the thoughtfulness of the subject, the writing, all of it is strong and purposeful and for good, thank you.

[@vexhill3665]

Hauntingly beautiful story, very well-told. Thank you!

Speechless. This film, in all of its beautiful poignancy... this is important.

[@rain2646]

your work is heartbreaking yet loving and comforting, the visual storytelling is poetry. Thank you

[@moemoesheikha]

That was unreal ❤

[@solharv7817]

Woah, Hugo Weaving! That’s huge. Congratulations

[@weirdnerdygoat]

this did not have to hit that hard... a few hours ago, i got the news that my brother commited suicide and i really wish i had gotten to talk to him over a cup of tea... if you're feeling this way please tell someone, you won't be a burden
