This was a product of a workshop at film school in my first semester, with a 5-student team and peanuts in funds. I recognize that the quality/caliber is low, but I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the love it has received on KZbin. Sending a big hug to each and every one of you. Ax

Trying to maintain a relationship with someone that is perpetually insecure can be really exhausting and untimately not worth the constant upset.

[@hgarcia7935]

Agreed. I believe is not worth the effort to make it work. If there's trust in that relationship.🤷‍♂️

[@murray1759]

The muscle guy did not apologize...the skinny guy did....MAJOR RED FLAG

[@micaharchive]

The muscle guy simply had lunch with someone. The insecure guy apologized because it was his insecurity that triggered the fight. He also took several cheap shots unprovoked. Your insecurity is your responsibility first and foremost because you communicate fear/concern without being a dick lol

[@annikkegrimmig4950]

Where is he 'skinny'? He has a very nice body. The other is way too much, looking like plastic

[@hgarcia7935]

🤣

[@mrscashmorrisey1702]

When the person who has been hurt by another ends up being the one who says "I'm sorry". Problem not solved.

[@MikeAlabbasi]

You got this right. I mean the first guy apologised for being too sensitive; but what about the other guy? Shouldn't he apologise for being inconsiderate, irrational, and for hurting his boyfriend??! In fact he's the one who should initiate.

[@gameplayer2355]

I couldn't agree more. It is almost like you are just being a martyr to save the relationship

Thank you, Alex. Tired of tragic gay stories. Yours is a poem. Once again, thank you.

[@JuanCarlos-bo9rd]

hello , Mr wilson ! how are you doing ? are you ok ?

[@ZachariahGreggs]

I enjoyed this film, my boy friend was the same way, he never did any cheating except being with his friends who thought je was better than sliced bread, it took a lot of patience and time, plus a big cup of communication that got us through it, I had to understand his past as he understood mine, we are two works in progress, love makes a lot of allowances 😊

[@benedictmiller847]

All I have to say is: the guy would have been dancing by himself in the final scene because that's how I would have validated him.

[@pauldunstan4495]

Imperfect people and unequal emotions ... Love can be a balancing act. But with time, patience and dedication, it can be the greatest story ever told. Like dancing to Debussy! This was delightful. ❤

[@KoshkaNaLadoshke]

Beautiful story, beautiful acting and beautiful choice of men for the main characters. And a happy ending as a cherry on the cake! Absolutely lovely :)

[@song7087]

I have really good friend who’s dating a guy he knew from college. As soon as he introduce him to me, I sensed a really negative vibe from him and I told my friend to be careful. That guy would do anything to get attention from men and talking about attention seeker whore. My friend could see that and he even saw messages on his phone flirting back and forth with other guys but still he couldn’t stop loving that jerk. I could say nothing and it killed me inside because I didnt want to see my friend getting hurt and most importantly, being treated like a muppet ☹️

[@ronalddean3630]

It happens. So many are not capable of a long-term honest loving relationship. It's just how so many gay men are. Nothing you do about it except be the person that you want to attract and the right person will come into your life.

[@danieldumas7361]

No beginning, no ending.....just a moment! No morals, no judgment.....just perfection! Thank You! D

[@juliancoulden1753]

Beautifully done and so well acted, you could believe in the characters.

[@TheSpood03]

I love the Clair de lune at the end of this, the song just makes the moment so special

[@dr.saharbabaali1981]

It was soooooo cute! The way they get over their problems...I liked it Thank you💖💖💖

[@1joehig]

I spent 3 years with a man who enjoyed being admired by others for his perfect looks, and he wouldn't bother telling me why occasionally he was an hour or two late from work. It was always my problem that I couldn't trust him, he said. I thought I trusted him because when other couples would come over for dinner or drinks and occasionally suggest a 4 way or a switch, he would act genuinely horrified and try to get them to go home. Eventually my jealousy got the best of me because he never really tried to put me at ease. And so I ended it. Nowadays I look for not so perfect looking partners.

[@NottheCIA935]

Beautiful story. 👏🏾 hope you find your prefect someone!

[@hatlove2009]

hi

[@kimberlymartin1203]

This is probably the best comment I have ever seen in a video.

[@billspooks]

One could write and could certainly read volumes of work on being "too good looking". I have read that it was sometimes unfortunate to be beautiful at certain times in history. It could guarantee you were made into a sex slave which everyone knows has a limited lifespan.

[@josephkelly1594]

You made the right decision. Those beautiful sluts out there will have a rude awakening when their beauty fades and they’re all alone.

[@Acidkittycat]

Love a happy ending in gay shorts. I feel like every gay film I watch is so sad lol

[@DarknessIsThePath]

Except this wasnt a happy ending, this was a guy surrendering his principles and making feel guilty for calling on his partner's shit, that is manipulation at its finest.

[@cebruthius]

YOU'RE TEARING ME APART NICK!

[@danielkirpes8315]

BRAVO! Thank You! Every relationship at some point will be challenged. This depiction portrayed a "big" one. Such trust is all too easy to give; but very difficult to earn. The uglier little brother of Jealousy is named Suspicion.

[@kjohns5139]

With one partner continuously placing themselves in a potential emotional or sexually compromising scenario does not make a healthy relationship. Jealousy can be unjustified and unreasonable, but it can also be equally justified as it is in this case. Nick is a one-step-from-cheating partner, and it does not take much for that one step to happen...to much alcohol, a couple's argument, a wrong-place-at-the-wrong-time situation. Nick needs to stay away from guys who want his body; because eventually one will get it. I am so sick of hearing, "...i'm not perfect." yes, I get that. But that is not an excuse to justify stupid or bad behavior. A man who needs that kind of validation, can't be faithful to one guy.

[@jaguy4u2]

I have lived this with a boyfriend needless to say we are not together now...I was not insecure nor did I not trust him, however when he acted out with me seeing ..I felt disrespected and somehow not enough, we discussed nothing changed ..I felt myself changing not to my liking so I got out of there with head held high.😁✌

[@heyrod59]

Your self respect mattered to you because your ex didn't respect or care about you nor himself. But having the courage to walk away and not be taken in by him speaks volumes about who you are and what you expect from others. I hope you do find the "right" one that you want.....

[@shivshukla4394]

You should be proud of yourself . A decision well made. Also yes shows you're a strong, insightful person. I agree when you give in to people who don't respect you, you start changing into something you hate. I've been there too a few months ago. Happily single now 😁

[@mcmanpa]

Do we tell the truth when we are perched on a perilous ledge because the effort to stay balanced and fear of failing occupies our minds so much we can’t fabricate at the same time? The scene at the beach roughly halfway through Alex Lampsos’ short gay film is a kind of central pivot to the relationship between Nick and Charlie where truths that both men can agree on are aired in the open light of day. Charlie calls Nick “perfect”; Bryan calls Nick “princess”. Swirling somewhere around these divergent impressions of Nick, Charlie tries to navigate and negotiate their relationship. If “Thylacine” has a message, it would appear to be that couples should keep talking to each other and be prepared for a lot of accepting about each other.

[@Eric-rr8ui]

Great point. The truth can be very scary. I think finding someone you can tell your truth to and not only have them accept your truth but more importantly, appreciate you for it, is the secret to having your perfect partner.

Muscle, white guys, 20’s early 30’s. Hopefuly we’ll see more diversity in the future cause we re stuck in the past.

[@stephen6279]

I get what you mean. It's like the baldbess thing - i went bald in my 20s, films and tv media by and large don't employ bald 20 somethings, so I don't see anyone I relate to (based on that one identity value). Art vs Money. You make more money with stereotypically pretty people. Plus, do the non standard types not become actors as much, disheartened by the lack of representation? It's like to be the change we wish to see, we need to act (metaphorically and literally), however change takes time... decades, so those non standard actors on the front lines might have no career, paving the way for younger non standard actors to take their places. Good gravy i am a cynical bugger lol

Even when he's not playing the perfect boyfriend, Trevor Lapaglia ends up playing the perfect boyfriend. That's not typecasting, it's just a compliment. PS: What's really exhausting is dating a jealous person who interrogates you about your day and your acquaintances. I'm not sure who's more insecure between the two characters. If you don't trust someone, don't date them. It's not rocket science. 😁

These kind of scenarios are unrealistic for at least the 90% of us. Young masculine studs in perfect bodies, gorgeous faces , perfect teeth, with the freshest breaths, most luminous eyes and the perfect hairy distribution on their hot bodies, beautiful houses, never talking about how to pay the mortgage, never facing a bad day at the office, only high standard incredible life. Ok. I know those kind of guys exist and I love watching these kind of movies too because I need to escape from everyday life’s routine, but that’s all.
