    Thank you to everyone for watching "Chipper". This our first venture into Omeleto and so far it has been glorious. Even though we were featured in about 30 festivals, we have never received this many views and feedback at any of them. We greatly appreciate your support and honest comments. Also a huge thank you to Omeleto for the wonderful write-up and for having us here in the first place.

      And as this short was very clear about - that is mostly because of modern medicine with far too much grey area - where's the best outcome for patient and where's just prolonged suffering due to "wonders of modern medicine" but not wonderful enough to actually make life bareable for those on receiving end ..

    Honoring our parent's decision to move on from the earthly home of their bodies is heart-wrenching. To not fight tooth and nail for them feels like a betrayal. So we hold on to them for dear life as when we were children. Thank you, Chipper, for having the courage to honor your father.

    Jayson Warner Smith is one brilliant actor. I’ve only seen him in this and The Walking Dead but man am I blown away by his acting prowess. I remember thinking while watching TWD, that he was the most tragic savior bc he portrayed a man doing what he was doing bc it was the only way to get by. His pain and beaten down resolution is so apparent in the show and it again surfaces in this portrayal.
    I can sing his praises all day but also every one of the actors in this short are incredible. Great direction and just perfect storytelling. Well done, everyone!

    After working in a nursing home for a million years I've think i have seen every end of life you can think of from difficult parents that their kids keep their distance, to very loving, caring siblings,( and the black sheep that shows up at the end), the only child, and grand children who are deeply affected by the tough, heart breaking decisions that have to be made. That being said, I wish you could make a film on the terrible grief that grandchildren have when they lose a grand parent. It's something I think is overlooked. You captured a lot in this short.

    I watched this for the third time today. Partly because I could never quite catch the whole line that I did hear now, "with no help from the hippie biker or the junkie thief". It was not even among the 10 best parts of the dialogue in the movie but I obsessed over it.
    Today the Sadness of the whole thing Got me a little teary. Whereas the previous two times I watched it I knew it was sad, but I focused on the strength and the selfishness of the characters.
    Regardless this is absolutely one of the best stories I have ever seen on film. I never saw, "sometimes a great notion", but I read it. This is as good as story as that. Two friends of mine who also watched this gave it the same rave reviews.

    @11:45, I knew EXACTLY what was happening. SPOILERS:
    As someone who has been living with a brain tumor that was supposed to have killed me in 2020, coupled with finding out years ago that my oldest sister wasn't my dad's biological daughter, this video hit me like a freight train. It is so difficult to endure this, and having people to tell me to keep fighting...I can't even begin to describe exactly how difficult it is to not just give up and let go. I can't even imagine being trapped in my own body for so long, and being kept alive against my will because a loved one doesn't want to let go of you.
    As for my sister, she is 100% my sister. I was there when my mom told her out of anger that our dad wasn't her biological dad. It happened 35 years ago, but the memory is so fresh, it feels as though it happened. The pain of seeing my sister break down uncontrollably when we heard this is a piece of me, much like this tumor. I just want to be at peace. I'm not afraid of dying, but I am absolutely TERRIFIED at the thought of leaving my wife and my baby girl alone in this world. Sometimes, you don't need people to physically hold you here. A single thought can keep you anchored here, long after you have been mentally broken and are ready to let go.
    This short film has wrecked me, but it was so beautifully told. I NEEDED this release. Thank you so much to writers Ruckus and Layne Skye, and director Shaun MacLean, for one of the best short films I've seen featured on Omeleto.

      I read your note last night and re-read it again this morning. First off, thank you for your kind words.
      The first time I read the script, I was moved and terrified as well. At that time both of my parents were doing fine. In the intervening six years before we actually made the film, things changed drastically for me. Both my parents came very close to death but have survived. Both are alive and well but one of them isn't enjoying the time they have now at all. Coincidentally it's my dad. He isn't trapped like Chipper's dad but not far off from that. We hoped this film would help people like Chipper and Carol see that they are not alone but, what didn't occur to me until reading your note, was the effect it might have on a person who may be the one who isn't well. Now I know. Thank you for sharing.
      All I can say is, I hope that the needed release for you is beneficial to you and your family's life in some way. Thanks again for watching.

      Truth about her being adopted might eventually come out, but Chipper was dealing with decision of this particular moment, timing was everything, his actions had to be fast, but very well thought off and executed cause of seriousness of consequences, hence I think the authors chose well character of a biker - someone equipped to making fast life and death decisions fast, usually they have good moral code too,
      Imagine - daughter thinks she's doing everything in her power towards sick father as her duty, and then she's finding out that not only that is not appreciate it, but father figure decided to tell her she's not biological daughter...and only thing he wants to die...., but thanks to empathy of Chipper, she will find her father dead and grief, but at least with this thought in the head ( and from brother's imagination) that she was loved and appreciated,,,so even after while she discovers adoption, this wont change this final words from dying father to her ..

    I saw it coming the second he offered money to the nurse... I understand his actions are driven by compassion, but by letting his judgement be clouded by emotions, now he will likely face murder charges. And he burned the letter! The death will be considered suspicious and an autopsy will reveal the needle mark, and then Carol will blame the nurse, but the nurse will say she was not in the house, and Carol will not have second thoughts wanting to throw him in jail. And the money he offered the nurse to leave him alone with his dad will probably count as premeditation, so he may as well face a first-degree murder charge. Notice how he doesn't use any gloves, so he doesn't even attempt to conceal the action. He probably did not see his action as murder, but it still was.

      That's why he administered the dose between the toes. It's one place that's rarely checked, and his father probably died of a heart attack from the overdose. No indication that anyone would suspect Chipper of having morphine on him. Probably scored it from a friend.
      The filmmakers did their homework, for sure.

Many people have missed that. Also, in an earlier version, the phone calls with Carol had more exposition in them about the brother that we decided to cut.
