Well done. I was so very close to hiding away from all social media and allowing the sorrow to soak into my bones. Then I realised, we are all here together for a reason. And there is a reason for this season. And I know, those who are true, kind and compassionate, would NEVER abandon anyone in their darkest hour or not stand side-by-side to push back. I am here for it. This was a gorgeous movie in every possible way. Thank you.
It really was great! I’m glad this film helped you realize there is so much more out there! Yes! We are all here for a reason and everything…everything happens for a reason. We just need to be patient and learn while we wait for the season to end. We are all going through it in one way or another. In this we are never alone. ❤
This was an incredible film. It deserved every one of the awards won so far, and I hope it wins many more. Fantastic work to the writer, director, actors, and everyone else involved in making it!
To ‘choose’ the rabbit hole over your own flesh and blood. To turn away your own child on the word of a snake oil salesman. Lordy, that was a bluddy good film, well done.
@@SuperChristine000 Not equivalent. At all. People who didn't get the poke were potentially dangerous to the vulnerable, and therefore couldn't be allowed to participate in social gatherings that included the vulnerable. People who did get poked posed absolutely no danger others because of the poke, and the unpoked only believed they did based on, as the OP said, "the word of a snake oil salesman".
Wow, this is amazing. Well done. I lived this. In my case it was religion that tore our family apart. My mom loved us, just as this woman loved her son, but she was also brainwashed, sure she was doing the right thing, and adamant in her refusal to have us in her life if we weren't in the same religion ( one with crazy ideas) . She hurt us and she hurt herself, too, just like the mom in this film. Sometimes I put it aside and happily get on with the rest of life's experiences. Sometimes I revisit it and get sad.
That really hit me in the feels. I am the “black sheep” in my family. My mom doesn’t approve of my “choice to live a gay lifestyle.” When I came out she said, “and you’re doing this now to embarrass the family.” Ugh! She hasn’t gotten any better since and that was over a decade ago. As we know - being gay IS NOT A CHOICE. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🌈 Your film speaks to us all! Thank you. There’s power in letting going of toxicity even when it’s family (maybe ESPECIALLY when it’s family)!
Most of her dialogue is pulled directly from interviews and articles with Q folk. And I think Catherine did a wonderful job of bringing humanity to a role that could have been played for “crazy” for laughs.
Blake needed that to feel free. Being oppressed by a mentally unstable mother wasn't living his authentic self. He is fortunate to have a great friendship with Dom and new beginning out of nowhere. I really loved how authentic this was and how it teaches lessons to others going through similar issues.
I was absorbed from the start. You managed to capture and convey the message of growth, change, and hope in quite the succinct, yet touching and heartfelt manner. Kudos
I’m speechless. This was just so realistic. Such talented actors, both the mom and the young men. The montage could have easily veered into cheesy, but ended up being a beautiful portrayal of gentleness and stable support of a new friend. Dom was so sweet to welcome him into the family home without criticizing Blake’s mom. It’s such a gift to let someone you love make their own choices, just being a stabilizing influence, free of pressure or manipulation. So much authenticity and warmth in their budding friendship / situationship juxtaposed with the devastating destruction of the mother-son bond after the mom becomes yet another victim of right wing extremist conspiracy, and their shameless fraud and deception of the most vulnerable targets they can find. This was a spot-on depiction of how a once normal person could get in too deep. After sacrificing her family’s source of income by quitting her job, and then sending those people even more of the family’s money… It’s not hard to imagine the mom concluding there’s no way for her to admit she was duped, after financially devastating the family. Somehow she still believed it better to risk losing the child she loves than to face the reality that she’d been repeatedly victimized by the Qanon cult. Better to let them take everything from her, I guess 😢
Sweet film and very good acting by the young men. The mom was played by Catherine Curtain - a well-established actress who played "mean guard" in Orange is the New Black, among other memorable roles. Nice to see her in this well-done indie short!
Very well done and beautifully acted. It is a nuanced depiction of people who fall down the rabbit hole. Love and sadness, and the need to your own life.
God, how great is this? Just brilliant - everything. Amazingly acted and written. This should be a series, the characters are so easy to invest in and relate to. Heart warming and really very moving. Congrats to all involved!
Excellent, excellent short film, truly! I'm so happy for the hopeful ending with Blake and Dom. I know it not real, yet I hope everything goes well with them in their futures together. 🌈❤️🙏
Regardless of the topic, the atmosphere created between the characters due to the 'guilt' that children bear and the 'hurt' the parent bear was so tangible and relatable and real. Every generation through history have lived this.
What an absolutely beautiful film! This film shows the life of a mother and son in a moment in time …yet represents the immense negative impact that Trump’s fascist tactics, fear mongering, and hateful rhetoric have had on the lives of so many. Thank you for ending the film with what we all need now … Love and Hope!
Great film! Love the emotional extremes, the happiness,, sadness and frustration. Also that nervous excitement that took me back to my youth haha, love it!
For the avoidance of doubt there is no such thing as a Qanon. There is Q and there are anons who in the most part are revealing the truth which has been denied to humanity for so very long. BTW my late son was homosexual so I’m not anti “queer”, though I do believe the term “queer” is a derogatory title for a human being.
Same. Different situation, but same. Family is who you chose. This Trump/Qanon cult took people in a huge sweeping motion. I could talk about this topic for hours, but what it comes down to is our values: logic, compassion, human rights, and humanity. Won’t budge on them. 💙 Love you, friend.
Some might say that they both reflect ways people cope with a fractured world-neither truly grounded or addressing the broader societal and personal dysfunctions they embody.
The point at which a child becomes an adult, diverging from his mom's beliefs and values. In this case, it was for the better. It's a point in time that is pivotal for both parent and child. It's the end of innocence, a realization of a parent's frailty and weaknesses.
What a great movie, with all the maddening, saddening dramas of today in Trumpland U.S.A! Excellent acting by both mother and son and laterally, the new friend. And a remembrance of that insulting unscientific vaccine dialog in the early days of Covid when Trump was so insulting to doctors and scientists, which was then picked up by a certain contingent of the population. I remember small groups gathered near a super market every day, shouting their anti-vaccine theories. And remember, since he never clearly said who his physician was, we never found out which vaccine he was taking. Like his taxes, no one ever finds out about these things, which before ...and including President Biden, had been mandatory and given freely.
Conspiracy theories can be very destructive - Worst advice ever - To do whatever and deal w/ consequences later !!! Story of my life, til I learnt better thinking 🙏🙏🙏
Touching. Thank you for sharing. Wild that there are Trump voters who don't believe some of their fellow voters are this weird. They absolutely are. It made me so sad that him just being himself "broke her heart". Breaks my heart.
Very moving film! The only part that tweaked me a little was the casting of Catherine Curtin, because I adore her as a performer and she seems like a fine human. So, part of me wanted Blake to stay and rescue her from the rabbit hole. Intellectually, I understood his choice and why it is valid for those who make it but … I’d have such a hard time with it. Alas, good art isn’t always pleasant, and good stories don’t require happy endings for everyone. Well done, all!
That's very kind of you to want that outcome. Sadly, I don't think it was a possibility. It's incredibly difficult to change the mind of someone who has been brainwashed. Notice how just the fact that he didn't embrace the beliefs himself made her kick him out. 😢
I’m with you. She’s a gem of a person and an incredible actor. I thought she brought a great humanity to the role, even though the ending was sad. Thanks for watching!
You've made an incredible film that has captured the many emotions of growing into adulthood and independence against the backdrop of the madness of conspiracy theories. How heartbreaking to see the differences between the two families. I hope the rest of the story for our young protagonist has more joy than heartache. All the actors were phenomenal! All the best to the cast and crew!
How his mother reacted when she found out he was vaccinated, is how I might have reacted if my adult child didn’t believe in vaccines. It was beautiful to watch him become his authentic self.
Well, I watched it on a Tuesday, enjoyed it so much that I watched again on Wednesday and enjoyed it even more. Beautifully scripted, beautifully and artfully performed. I didn't notice a single "actor." Everything felt natural, as if we were peeking into homes. Well done, Sir Schoonover. And I tip my hat to the cast.
@@330pictures She’s insulted because she believes in that; your short was so researched, so exactly on point. I spent the last 18 months working with Trump supporters, anti-vaxers, Qanon “members”, trying to educate them with facts, logic and compassion…and I can tell you you nailed it, bullseye. The people who don’t like this short are the people who bought in those conspiracies. You did an amazing, amazing job. Took my breath away. Be extremely proud. It’s a sociopolitical masterpiece, and it will explain so much in decades/centuries to come about why we are where we are. 💙
Wonderful.. Please be true to yourself. Children think that they can rescue their parents from destructive behavior. His mother showed him by cutting the cord ,that she didn't need him.
❤ This was whirlwind! It was Frustrating, Heartbreaking, and Infuriating! But, it was also Beautifully Sweet. Well done. Thank you, for the eye opening journey.☮️❤🌼
Omg if they didn’t model his mom after my own mother… I thought she was a rare case. From the conspiracies to the guilt tripping. I love her but it gets rough sometimes. Even with me being on my own.
So beautiful and layered, the tangled web of how destructive delusion and betrayal can be, the catastrophic damage caused by polarizing and propagandizing. Handled with such grace…
Fuck me, that scene with mother and son about his vaccination, brilliant acting, well lit, great dialogue. Well done. Love it. So above most shorts on here, like MILES above, holy shit!!!. How do you have so little subs??? I personally wanted it to just be about the mother and son, because, there's way more stakes in it for him, their different political beliefs are tearing them apart, they both have a relationship to lose. You can feel it when they say their goodbyes. I just wanted to see where it could go from there, how much worse or better it could get for them, not that it all wasn't great, it was. Thank you.
Thank you for the kind words! We just released two weeks ago so hoping the film continues to find it's footing and reach the people that need it. Appreciate your support!
I'm from germany and I'm experiencing similiar issues with my mum. But she's reacting even more cold when you disagree with her. I've been a bit esoteric and into conspiracies in the past myself but since my mum got an spiritual psychosis in 2020 it made me realise a lot. It also was the year where I got sober since I had an alcohol addiction for years. It really cleared my mind and I'm so done with all these conspiracies. I would like to go no contact with my mum but she's always making me feel guilty and like I have to protect her ego.
Watching this from Spain. We here in Europe wonder how it is possible that so many people in the US believe such crazy conspiritorial paranoid things and yet deny the obvious reality around them. It is simultaneously facinating and horrible. And very, very sad. My heart goes out to all the normal people who are having to deal with all this craziness. By the way, I was vaccinated for the 5th time this morning. I'm fine and so is everyone I know. Thanks for posting this sensitive little film. Keep making more. You've got a talent.
@@katella That's super neat-o. Swimming in November. Spain is almost Heaven! I'm American but not too much with the conspiracy theories, as you noted we are so inane here. LOL 😅 To get pentacle times the jab, you are very trusting in your clone leaders. I don't trust uneducated people like Mr. Fauci, who has come to understand why we are so unforgiving. Like Majorkas and all the other stooges on our last merry-go-round of stupidity. When some Hollyweird harlot cannot fathom the demonstration of a Venn diagram's purpose, we just shut off their lights by giving them a Mennonite shun.
You should see the news now how the other side (left) is taking Trump's election. Two Harris supporters killed family members because of the election results. At least Blake mom didn't murder her son.
''If debt will be erased in the future, why do they need your money, mom''?

Enjoy your life. I'm sorry for your family not supporting you. I can't think of anything nicer than a gay son. Friend for life ❤
I don't like how they portray the mom as a fruit loop because she doesn't believe all the BS surrounding covid.
Most of her dialogue is pulled directly from interviews and articles with Q folk. And I think Catherine did a wonderful job of bringing humanity to a role that could have been played for “crazy” for laughs.
Blake needed that to feel free. Being oppressed by a mentally unstable mother wasn't living his authentic self. He is fortunate to have a great friendship with Dom and new beginning out of nowhere.

What a good short ❤ thanks for the upload 😊 his mom reminds me of my mom 😢 the pandemic did a lot of damage to a lot of families
It truly did. Sorry you experienced. Thank you for watching and leaving a comment. ❤
@330pictures very good work ❤️
You mean Trump and Fox did a lot of damage, including murder to a lot of families.
Watching this from Spain. We here in Europe wonder how it is possible that so many people in the US believe such crazy conspiritorial paranoid things and yet deny the obvious reality around them. It is simultaneously facinating and horrible. And very, very sad. My heart goes out to all the normal people who are having to deal with all this craziness.
By the way, I was vaccinated for the 5th time this morning. I'm fine and so is everyone I know.
Thanks for posting this sensitive little film. Keep making more. You've got a talent.
How's the weather in Spain these days? Like the rain?
@EswenVRaedself Spain is a big place. Where I live is beautiful and sunny. Went swimming today.🌞
@@katella That's super neat-o. Swimming in November. Spain is almost Heaven!
I'm American but not too much with the conspiracy theories, as you noted we are so inane here. LOL 😅
To get pentacle times the jab, you are very trusting in your clone leaders. I don't trust uneducated people like Mr. Fauci, who has come to understand why we are so unforgiving. Like Majorkas and all the other stooges on our last merry-go-round of stupidity.
When some Hollyweird harlot cannot fathom the demonstration of a Venn diagram's purpose, we just shut off their lights by giving them a Mennonite shun.
Thank you so much for watching and for the kind words!
You should see the news now how the other side (left) is taking Trump's election. Two Harris supporters killed family members because of the election results. At least Blake mom didn't murder her son.
