My question is there going to be more to this story?

[@cae13912]

i fr thought this was gonna be a sapphic short film but it was still so good and you should def consider doing more of these

[@cinnamonroll372]

I knowww I was sad when it wasn’t 😭

[@davidstratton696]

They definitely have that tension tho. I thought it was cause I literally looked up lgbt short film and this was literally the first one to pop up.

Me too 😔💔🤣

[@Sam-pe5np]

I think it is definitely sapphic but its just like right under the surface

[@onebihuman]

This short film really touched me. There is no need for words to understand how they are bound to each other. It's bittersweet and realistic. A pice of art. So proud of all of you.

[@onebihuman]

I'm rereading this comment and I am so confused. I don't remember watching this short film nor do I remember writing this.

This was so beautiful.❤ For introverts their whole life revolves around that one friend. They don’t believe in making 10 friends instead they will always be loyal to that one friend give them priority.

THANK YOU

[@aboyisagvn888]

The chances of this being seen are low, but this was so stunning. The music you chose really represents the highs and lows of Lily's emotions, and all of the angles and scenes of pure happiness and sadness are beautifully curated. I really hope this channel makes it really far. This was impressive. Edit: omg I didn’t even realize this had likes

[@pufthemajicdragon]

Hey! Just wanted to say your acting in this short was amazing! This whole thing felt so real, so personal. And you sold us on that sadness and regret at the end with just a look. If you enjoy acting I hope you keep with it because you're really good! If you're still in touch with the girl who portrayed Lily, please tell her the same. That crushing despair as she runs out into the street - I felt that in my SOOOOUL.

[@poorlyanimatedyt]

watching this made me think about my relationship with an ex-friend. we had a similar friendship; good in the beginning, but as time moved on she became more and more distant. this hit close to home and it was really good.

[@carolineb3712]

I paused the video to comment after she said, “you are obsessed with me”. This gave me actual flashbacks….it hit me hard. Ughhhh. Anywho, gonna continue watching rn because it’s really a really good short !

[@PixelP3n1s]

Imagine if it ended with Mia sending a text, “I think I’m obsessed with you too.”

[@Htps-re9ce]

I will acept this end and forgot The real end

[@ScarletStewart-yw4vd]

This made all of our old memories swarm, and it hurts so much to know that she's never coming back. All of the the memories. Holding hands as we walked in the rain, her holding me as I cried, kissing her forehead as she went to sleep, everything. It's not coming back. Now I'm crying and wondering where I went wrong. I just miss her more than anything. I miss holding her in my arms as she closed her eyes and I played with her hair. I miss giving her gifts, and asking about her day. I miss the long ass midnight conversations on the phone. I miss her. She was my everything. I never expected her to leave. She said she loved me more than anything. I never wanted it to go away. I did everything I could to get her to stay. It's been so long and I still can't help but fall asleep with her on my mind.

[@ScarletStewart-yw4vd]

[@olikid707]

Watching this made me think of one of my close friends. She continued in public school while I transferred to private school. In the 3 years we spent at separate schools, she made many friends, had many boyfriends, was always involved in drama, and hardly made time for me. I made 3 close friends, never dated anyone, and stayed out of drama, I was always willing to drop everything to hang out with her. Now that I am back in public school with her, she is making more time for me, but when she walks away from me mid conversation to go talk to her other friends, she expects me not to get upset. Since starting at public school, I've made more friends, but still not nearly as many as her. She eventually stopped talking to me for a month, and any time I would see her at our shared after-school activities, she would say, "Sorry, ive been stressed with (insert drama here), I'll tell you about it later." She never told me. Since I brought it up to her, we have been texting and hanging out more, but we aren't as close as we once were. I debate sending her this mini movie to watch so then she can understand how I feel as the introverted friend

[@juliahartley-barnes975]

Never fall in love with your straight best friend. A hard lesson to learn. Been there. Not fun.

[@Theartek1d69]

same :( BUT! I DO HAVE AN AMAZING GF NOW :D

[@catmary8534]

This movie is so sweet, it made me think about me and my friend. I love her sm and i love spending time with her because I feel like she's the only person who understands me and likes me genuinely and she's just very special to me. But now she's paying more attention to one other girl and they seem to be getting along quite well, they laugh together in class in front of me and they have conversations and hangout without me. My friend held that girl's hand when she felt overwhelmed and stressed when she used to do that with me. I feel like I'm losing her. And this movie captured my feelings 💔

[@denyafallahi2988]

WOW, this was truly one of the most accurate short films I've ever seen for people my age. Amazing work!

[@mozzygan]

absolutely beautiful. i'm so glad my feed brought this short film to my attention! the emotions were so raw and human, and i love how it was no one's "fault" for the fight/friend break. It was just differences-in perspective, in personality, etc.-and that is so incredibly human! there's nuance to every situation, especially in a relationship like this. and it was really beautiful to see this interpretation. thanks so much for sharing!! 💜

[@crystalwriter2637]

Mia seems toxic even as a friend. Ugh tbh I wanted to see the other character reject her somehow lol there was like a glimpse at the end. Also, the running in the street at night scene was my favorite because I also go on walks or runs when I’m angry. Exquisite cinematography and work btw!!

[@Claire-tk4do]

As an aroace person, this touched me deeply. Friendship is so important

[@mollyxmusic3348]

I only clicked on this because it looked like a Lesbian 'The Fault in Our Stars' but it was somehow just as amazing. I loved it!

[@freakweekspecial]

this is amazing! looking forward to watch more of your short films. i was so hooked to the story as well, i love how when some of the clips make me feel happy, and instantly after, i feel sad. the happy clips are bright when the sad clips are cold and gloomy. this is truly a work of art. you and aydan did an amazing job and so did everyone else!

The falling over parallel is what got me QwQ this is so cute and simple, I thoroughly enjoyed it :3

this is off topic but the intro music and the fact that the main charater is names lily make this even more wholesome (the music is from a horror video game "The evil within 2" who tells the story of the father who'll try everything to save his daughter lily)
