Ayoo??? The fourth wall?? I just love how he reverses time. This film is just-I love it????

[@lovelynorah25]

LITERALLY SAME OMLLLLLL

[@jeevithas8034]

what is 4th wall everyone's talking about?

[@nezhafahr7490]

The 4th wall is this concept in film where there's a sort of barrier separating the audience and the characters in a film. When a character in a film interacts with the audience, which can consist of speaking towards the audience and/or looking at the camera, it's considered breaking the 4th wall. The character and audience interaction breaks through that former separation. (Copied from another comment)

[@Saigoncuatoi]

hey, you are good actress 🎉

[@stella1659]

I loved that I didn't have any idea what was about to happen next. also loved him breaking the 4th wall

[@CxrlaKlbnd]

this is way better than I expected to be honest. Because of the thumbnail it thought it would be a romance short film but I was clearly wrong. Great work

[@carolinamartins5483]

this is amazing and breaking the 4th wall is even more insane, i love it so much! i can't wait for more!! congratulations!

[@exoada9246]

Where can i watch itt?

[@mariana_ndo]

@@exoada9246 ??? literally here

[@Imalki]

Wt is the 4th wall ?

[@Sid_ATM]

@@Imalkiwhere the camera is basically. Like when in a show they usaly don’t show the tv they just show the family on the couch. If they showed the tv that’s breaking the fourth wall

[@Sid_ATM]

Also in the room u can only see 3 walls

[@hannah814]

I love the feel of the intimacy that the shots give the film, it makes it feel isolated and just adds to the overall aesthetic. Great job :)

[@antiquereelfilms535]

This, right here, is CINEMATIC BRILLIANCE. In a crowded KZbin world of "cinematic (read: bokeh)" shots and negligible storytelling, this movie is a gem. I came here for inspiration for a short I'm working on, and damn, this is so much more than I'd hoped for. Kudos.

[@carolinices9126]

OMGGG I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE A CLICHÉ ROMANCE MOVIE IN Q LIBRARY

[@windyks]

I love the concept! It reminded me of sometimes when I had a lucid dream, where I can sort of control them and just do it all over again if it's not working in my dream 😆😉

[@sidenx]

the fact that I can relate to it

[@windyks]

@@sidenx 😆😆

[@user-jk3pz8bw5r]

How do u guys lucid dream cause I tried and couldn't plz tell!

[@windyks]

@@user-jk3pz8bw5r idk how did I do it but I've once read that one of the ways to lucid dream is you have to write your dream in your journal or smtg. I guess that works for me. I didn't write it every single time but I do write it or tell my friend whenever I have vivid dreams or good dreams. It might take some time but you can try it. But these days, I didn't really have any lucid dreams, just vivid dreams

[@Missrana330]

Seriously? I've never heard anything like that before!

[@Justice237]

My friend sent me this, here’s my theory: Asher is in a coma after a suicide attempt and her mind is retreating to a place of comfort and familiarity - her father’s bookshop. Hale is her guardian angel trying to get her to wake up, only he’s new on the job and can’t get the conversation to lead her there naturally, hence why he keeps looping.

[@watchfulsparrow]

You're so talented. This film beautifully captures the essence of dreaming, with its soft music and beautiful bookstore as a background. I also love your idea about breaking the 4th wall. It makes it feel so fresh and original. I can't wait to see what else you create. ❤

[@sakurayamamoto2334]

What is the 4th wall? I didn't understand 😮 can you elaborate...

[@watchfulsparrow]

@@sakurayamamoto2334 The 4th wall is this concept in film where there's a sort of barrier separating the audience and the characters in a film.

[@medicovlogs]

When exactly is it broken I am unable to find

[@watchfulsparrow]

@Parul Singh The 4th wall is broken whenever a character in the film interacts with the audience.

[@medicovlogs]

@@watchfulsparrow yeah but in this film how did they interact I'm confused

[@Hi-nw5mp]

Dude I this is so unpredictable and I love it. Breaking the 4th wall and restarting the dream is so insane. Thumbs up for the creator of the idea.

[@Abhi_say000]

I'm amazed! Because you guys really captured the feeling of 'dreaming', I mean 'DREAM'. Yeah, those who know the moment of dreaming and waking at the dawn, like 'I don't want to come out of it, no no I want to... I don't, I do, I don't, I do' and someone shouting in my mind, 'Wake up... WAKE UP!!!!' It's incredible!

[@AnaS-of8ri]

What a great short film! It‘s really witty with the actor trying to get it right every time so that she won‘t be pissed at him or smth 😂 love it!

[@kaifaly3918]

Every person has a illusional world in mind . Some of them always visits there and some always wants to stay there . Because in that world he or she can control every moment , if a thing goes wrong it can start from beginning just like this girl with the boy. I love this film truly beautiful ❤️

[@lizaroe8595]

THIS WAS INCREDIBLEEE!ive been following you on tik tok and watching the progress and the bts!i love how you broke the 4th wall and i didn’t expect it!i love this smmmm keep up the good work!!💗💗

[@maefol1452]

everything about this is so beautifully done! i'm looking forward to your future projects :)

[@amalmokdad8880]

Bookworms sobbing in the background. Genuinely i love this❤

[@siennaAls]

This reminds me of when I’m daydreaming and keep restarting the scenario because I don’t like how it’s coming out🫣

[@dimitristselios3726]

omg! This is so good! I cant really describe how i feel rn. The whole scenario was so good that it made my heart break. The actors were something else! Well done to the actors and the writer! Great job

[@maggieoliv]

PROUD OF YOU GUYS!!🤍

[@irenejessica4413]

This is great! This short film immediately reminded of the song "Have We Met Before" and the acting here is refreshing.

[@abhilashabhardwaj1524]

Oh no! Same 😭

[@booktalk5339]

I loved this! The wait was worth it!

[@lilly_rss]

I waited sooo long for this and now it's finally happening 😍😍

[@binuserkaf]

Absolutely Amazing!!!! ❤️ the location was so beautiful, loved the lighting and the two actors did a magnificent job!

[@pranjalthekid]

Didn't expect it to come out this great !!! Absolutely loved the concept & cinematography!!! ✨✨

[@annaliesew]

Never watched one of your videos before, until this one. Very well done, great work!

[@liparamore]

Achei lindo e é sempre bonito ver uma produção nacional assim feita com esmero, acho que seria incrível ver uma versão falada em português também.

[@liabastos]

é br?

[@anavrosa]

​@@liabastos não, é português

[@cassiaromanzeira6705]

siimmm

[@iichloxo]

I saw the behind the scenes on tik tok and now I see this on my recommended. Amazing short film the actors are so talented

[@migueld4631]

This is pretty good, I've been waiting for this one and I loved it, really well produced and the delivery from both actors was so nice. Congrats!

[@migueld4631]

sound is amazing as well, forgot to mention that

[@rajnirani7772]

Oh, oh! Very surprising of you. What a story! I certainly not expected this. A dream where there is no distinction between reality and illusion. Wow! I'm amazed. Wholly.

[@luizfernandomle]

This is amazing and very well done. Way better than the intro of a thousand movies released in the last years. I would love a continuation explaining who or what is Hale and why can't he let Asher live in her illusion. Very intriguing.

[@daffdil1382]

You should probably make more short films like this it's amazing work

[@cassiaromanzeira6705]

nossa ficou muito legal, me pergunto como será que é a vida de Asher e o motivo do Hale está no sonho dela. Confesso que fico na expectativa de uma continuação. Um like daqui do Brasil!

[@m.e.r.]

I loved this! Can't wait for more from y'all and applause for everyone who created this masterpiece!

[@xristina_sou]

I love this kind of videos with libraries ,books , boys ❤🍂🦋📖

[@novadekker2810]

Thank you for the lesson. This film is literally a divine intervention. I need to wake up I need to wake up I real need to wake up I need to
