This made me cry. To think that you can be so close and yet so far away.... surrounded by life, People and still be alone..... This one will stick with me..forever.
I've watched this again and again over the years and this is by far my favorite short film of all time. The layers, the acting, the significance of EACH AND EVERY WORD. I don't think anyone can make a better short film. This is it. The pinnacle. And I've found it.
I have watched a few thousand thrillers/mysteries. This is easily one of the most well-done short psycho thrillers I have ever seen. Truly. Don't cut it off at the end, let every bit of screentime play. Acting, plot, twists, editing, flashbacks... all excellent! Thanks, this was a treat.
This film is a powerful statement on loneliness. People give excuses for not communicating these days; getting to know your neighbor etc. Maybe it’s because they are protecting themselves from hurt (physical and emotional) but by doing that, are we getting more hurt? What do u guys think? And to the guys who made this: Kudos!❤
The excellence of this short film cannot be described in words! *SPOILER ALERT* For those who do not understand the role of the riddle in this short film, the man who dubbed himself as '3D' asked Kristen the following riddle: "A man is waiting for an elevator. When it comes, he walks in. Now, a second later, someone else follows him in. Now there are two people in this elevator, right? The first guy presses the button of the floor he wants to get off on. The second person extends her hand, presses a whole other button entirely, says "Hello." The door closes. Now, although they pressed two different buttons, somehow they manage to get off on the exact same floor. How does this happen?" 3D claims that the answer to this riddle is the key to how to talk him out of this. Kristen solves the riddle. She states that the first person presses the button of the floor he wants to get off on and the second person presses the button labelled 'Door Close' 3D speaks about homonyms (Each of two or more words having the same spelling but different meanings.) The homonym is the word 'close'. In this situation, the literal meaning of 'close' is 'not open' whereas the metaphorical meaning is 'near'. Kristen and the man lived on the same floor. Kristen lived in 3C and the man lived in 3D. His door was close to hers.
+Tamara John Understood that but why would he hinge his life on the riddle like that? Was it because of all that "observer" talk and him feeling invisible-especially if his own neighbor can't help him-to the world?
+Tamara John Yeah, but that leaves many questions unanswered. If the guy knows that she leaves next door and even has her phone number... why doesn't he even know her name? One would think that he had a very good reason to call her and not someone else, as if she played an important role in his story, but in the end she's just a perfect stranger (and he has her number somehow)...
Raine Katie yeah, that's what I got. But she was the only one who said hello. Standing mute next to someone you want to get to know especially if they broke the ice first by saying hello is crazy. Maybe say hello back, introduce yourself instead of the mind games. I can see if she rejected or was unfriendly to him in the elevator then all this would have come together for me. But it was just random. Glad she got home safely. Dude was psycho. Movie was ok but could have been better. Anyway, good job to the actors!👍
Most people here aren't making much sense and just seem interested in injecting forced sense into the plot. There are many questions unanswered, and still nobody gives a quick direct response. I asked how does he not even know something as basic about her as her name, but knows a much harder to come by detail such as her phone number? Without surprise, no one answered me.
AWESOME !! That was an amazing film. At the end, I felt more empathy for Kristen than even for the man calling for help. She was his lifeline, and it was he that made the decision not to accept it. He really didn't want help, because Kristen offered it to him and proved she cared. Now she's left with the trauma of what happened. He was the one who didn't care,not her. John. I also subbed.
He was trying to drive her mad, and to suicide herself. That's what all sick people do. Many people today commit suicide to punish others close to them for "not caring" enough. But look who is so devoid of caring that they would try to snare their loved ones into such guilt. Evil is always the same in that it accuses the other of what it is doing.
Very nicely done!!!!!! I can see the message as in people can be invisible to each other an be standing in front of each at the same time...... Sometimes you don't know standing right in front of you until it's gone!!!!
2 months ago I came across this short movie and watch it. Now I had come back again to say that this is really, really good. Still can't forget the twisted ending.
Wow! Thanks for watching...twice!! Lol. We really appreciate the support and please subscribe if you haven't already. We have a new short coming out next month!
One minute into this film I flipped it over to the next and by some miracle my finger hit the forward arrow and it went back to this film. Must of been a sign from God. And thank god that I did and watched it. This feature got me straight through the heart. Such a very real deep emotional feeling I’ve carried with me throughout my life right there in front of my eyes yet no one else sees it. Brilliantly crafted.
Except, he didn't put any of his pain on her. He just said he was going to kill himself and she had to solve a riddle. He wanted someone to know where he lived before he died. And she was the closest on his floor.
His act was to commit suicide, and let an unknown person carry around the depression he felt. Now, he no longer has to worry about horrible life ... but he sure as hell fucked up hers - forever. He reeled her in just enough to make her take the guilt bait. And, that was his purpose all along. What a horrible person!
He meant it when he said he would make her see in 3D, I guess. That would have to be traumatic for someone, hearing that gunshot that close after THAT phone call. And Why did he make her think that she had the chance to talk him out of it but instead made her feel like she blew it bc she didn’t “look a little deeper”. That’s cruel
Narcississtic manipulation to the enth degree...toxic sociopath has to be the centre of attention by fair means or foul. Still has to prove he's the smartest person in any situation. 😯🤔This was so well observed.
I loved the writing and acting, but I think the sound design and vfx of the televisions could have had a little more work. But otherwise, this was great!
excellent point about the visual quality, especially of the film, especially the lighting and film quality with the female lead. I thought the sound was ok. The script was unreal, and both actors were excellent. This was such a high quality screenplay, casting, editing, and directing.
This is the best short film I've ever seen in my life. I keep revisiting this, it's just absolutely mind blowing and well portrayed. I love it. Thank you so much.
This was amazing and made me cry. I solved his riddle this way; he went off the same floor cause he wanted to know her more, so he went after him. Loneliness is something I can relate to so this is well done.
Wow so much to say but still so speechless from just seeing this! A very, very, one of a kind story! Did you write this?? If so, you have a gift! Do you have more like this? Thank you! 😊
I don't even know what to say to this....This has been one of the best, intense, terrifying, short-film I have watched. You really know how to cut deep into peoples emotions and make them realize that the way we live in this society is so f***** up. Thank you so much for this experience. Please make more.

This is SO BRILLIANT! I have watched it several times...for some reason every now and then I come across it. It underscores how we don't SEE each other anymore. People are in their own little worlds, and we walk past each other daily without even saying hello. It shows how we can be surrounded by others, yet totally isolated. A sad commentary.
Exceptional and enjoyable. The acting was great, the script, award-worthy and the direction was perfect. I really want to see a full-length movie made by the same people!
Tiffany Smith Hey Tiffany, Thanks for watching! Glad you liked it. The cast and director did a great job on this one. Have you subscribed to our channel? Maybe you'll like some of our other stuff?
It is a painful reminder that in today's age, people are too busy with their own lives that they tend to overlook the needs of those people who doors are close (by). Sometimes we ignore the subtle signs of asking for help from people we see everyday. sad poignant but real story...thanks
This short film is so moving. I can't help but watch it over and over again. It makes me feel so many different things. Congrats on making such a amazing thing
WOW... That was so good!!! Truly one of the best short films I have seen on TH-cam. Acting was above expectation for a short movie, plot was great, ENDING WAS AWESOME! Well done. Looking forward to seeing more of your work 👍🏻
No one could've ever figured out that riddle. The guy clearly was emotionally sick and just wanted to die. He got off on emotionally tormenting her.... then left her to feel guilty after he killed himself. That makes him a selfish jerk. Great film though!!
I Works third shift in a hotel which means I have a lot of downtime well tonight I discovered this video and it really intrigued me by the title and the psychological thriller attribute and all I have to say is after watching this I had to take a smoke break just step away from my laptop for minute and breath.

Thank you again for your continued interest and support in us. Sincerely, The Broken Box Team
That was a phenomenal short!!!! I absolutely loved it... had me completely engaged through the whole thing. I wanted her to save him!!!! Thought he was maybe close to her....but I never woulda guessed!! Excellent all around!! Thanks so much for sharing!!!
I almost past your film over because, it was 24 min long; however, I'm extremely glad I clicked. It was absolutely brilliant. Wow. I love the lighting, the shots, and the track. Bravo to the screenplay writer. Keep these coming. Great job!
HA. Ok, I should not laugh at that. Except I couldn't help thinking that many who saw this would agree with the comments that he's selfish and was more interested in hurting someone else than getting help.
honestly this is better than any of the mainstream hollywood crap these days.. i would watch this over the garbage dished out in the theaters now.. amazing acting, great plot and writing, good story. reminds me of the old dark dramatic suspense movies back in 2006 and prior, when films were real and had feeling to them. props.
I thought this was a very well done short film and they were both excellent it was very well written and acted it keeps you on the edge you're hoping that she can save him but he makes his own choices in life she must don't feel any regrets
Loved this I don't usually give shorts a look, but was very surprised. I enjoyed this far more than anything I've watched lately. Well done to everyone involved!!
I study film production at school now, and my Uncle randomly showed this movie to me. He said I think you would like it. and he was right! This was really good! I couldn't help but talk during the movie trying to figure out the ending. I did solve the riddle though! Don't know if I said it before, but this movie was really really good. This link will now be passed around my film department. =D
Hey Marika, thanks for spreading the movie around. Glad you liked it. Please subscribe to us because we'll be putting out a few new shorts pretty soon. Do u have anything we can check out??
Well played. Yes, there are a lot of unanswered questions for the viewer, but for each of the characters, they have all the answers they need. The riddle is not a riddle. Whether you "get it" or not is irrelevant. It was a way for him to determine if she ever noticed him too. Yes, they are the people in the riddle. He appears to be a manically depressed introvert. His suicide was inevitable (as he stated time and again). However, maybe... just maybe... if she ever did even slightly notice him, that would have established a glimmer of hope. It would be a subtle starting point he can build from, thus momentarily calming his suicidal tendencies for the time being. This doesn't have the feel of a fictional work. Rather, it feels like a tragically haunting tale that someone can't get past -- every last detail.
This is an excellent movie with great actors but very sad. We can be in the same room with a person, at church, work, classes and grocery Lines and never know the hurt and burdens they bear. It pay to be tender hearted you never know if you might be the fuse.
...Wowww..!!! , Intense.., Verry well done..!! (Puts me in mind ov "The Slender Thread", 1965, w/S.Poitier, & A.Bancroft..). ..Btw, I "subscribed too.. ;-) .. Is your "The Promotion" out yet..?? Keep up thee awesome work..!!!
i have been on a short movie "rampage" today and watched E.M.M.A. liked it, but this one really had me going like ??? then near the end it was starting to some sense then bam i felt mind blown! good thing you never showed she lived in 3C :) if that happened in real life she would just kill herself too. the "moral" of this story is that people nowadays are so self centered in themselves to even care/help a person not in their "personal group", dam iphones! i hope you are working on a new short film or something now, i want more!!!!
Hey Neo. Thank you for watching and leaving a comment! Glad you got the message of the film. We really hope it will touch people and change some attitudes. Also thanks for watching E.M.M.A. Keep checking back because The Promotion will be out next month!
E.M.M.A. is really one of the good shorts I've watched. And I also liked watching this short. I agree with you! The message is pretty accurate thanks to you.

Omg this was so hard to watch. I struggled with suicidal thoughts and it really hit home. This was rough but it’s unfortunately so true how people beg for a life saver that never happens.
omg I was yelling at my phone He lives next door to you!!! maybe this has nothing to do with the film, but it really is sad how now days we really don't see people because we are so caught up with our phones we fail to notice the people and details around us.
Brilliant! One of the best short films I've ever seen on TH-cam (or anywhere else for that matter)! Beautifully acted and scripted, left me with a literal pit in my stomach. Well done!! 💛💛💛
Wow....mind blown 💥! That was one of the best pieces of film making I have ever had the pleasure of seeing! So much to say, yet I am speechless! The acting, 1st rate all the way around! Production! A One! But the story...the many things it says without ever saying them outright! The whole riddle! And how we walk through life with blinders on. We don't take the time to talk, or get to know our neighbors. The social commentary. 👏👏👏👏👏! That's a standing O!
O my God! That was brilliant! I tried to solved the riddle, and yeah, have the same thoughts with her. But then i saw the ending parts and be like... "Wait....what????" Wow....this movie was crazy.. i love it!

Reminds me of a quote from a Culture Shock tune ('Civilisation street')- alone together...

Hit me to the core how you said this....
What an emotional twit you are.
Erica C K Christensen u know u got me
I've watched this again and again over the years and this is by far my favorite short film of all time. The layers, the acting, the significance of EACH AND EVERY WORD. I don't think anyone can make a better short film. This is it. The pinnacle. And I've found it.

Amazing short film. Actor was great and story plot was awesome :)
No fair for him to put all his pain on her. I'm sure it was more than her not noticing him that pushed him over the edge.
Except, he didn't put any of his pain on her. He just said he was going to kill himself and she had to solve a riddle. He wanted someone to know where he lived before he died. And she was the closest on his floor.
Umm yes he did. He called a woman and said he was going to freaking kill himself.
Psychological warfare!

The best short I've Ever seen. Keep up the good work and please make more! Very clever and didn't see it coming.
Thank you William for such a great comment!! Thanks for watching and please subscribe for upcoming movies.
That was a phenomenal short!!!! I absolutely loved it... had me completely engaged through the whole thing. I wanted her to save him!!!! Thought he was maybe close to her....but I never woulda guessed!! Excellent all around!! Thanks so much for sharing!!!
Dare I say it. Classic. Well done.
Yes the film was so good
The story line was exceptionally well written. An overall fantastic thought process.
I couldn't help but to cry watching this...my heart... :'(
This is good, and it keeps getting better the longer you watch it. Whoever made this has a future in the movie business. Bravo!
Outstanding. One of the top 5. Congratulations
I almost past your film over because, it was 24 min long; however, I'm extremely glad I clicked. It was absolutely brilliant. Wow. I love the lighting, the shots, and the track. Bravo to the screenplay writer. Keep these coming. Great job!
That was the coolest ever! This should be shown at every university in America!
robin hunt and the rest of the world
As an example of how to create the most annoying character of all time? I mean I couldn't stop rooting for him to finally off himself.
HA. Ok, I should not laugh at that. Except I couldn't help thinking that many who saw this would agree with the comments that he's selfish and was more interested in hurting someone else than getting help.
I am very impressed with the quality of every aspect of this short film. You guys made me cry, amazing job.
Brilliant!!! a very good plot. Exquisite talent👏👏
Thanks so much for watching & the great comment. I hope you subscribed to us for more!
Agreed, so glad I found these 2 shorts tonight.

#1 best I’ve ever seen. Brilliant story and actors, the camera work is even great, everything is perfect.
omg this is absolutely brilliant! I loved it 😢
Well done! Very powerful. Great story, screenplay, acting and all the other stuff that goes in to making a great flick!
honestly this is better than any of the mainstream hollywood crap these days.. i would watch this over the garbage dished out in the theaters now.. amazing acting, great plot and writing, good story. reminds me of the old dark dramatic suspense movies back in 2006 and prior, when films were real and had feeling to them. props.
OMG this the best short i've seen yet! I've watched hundreds but this one s incredible! They seem ike professional actors. I really love Last Call.
I was like, I solved the riddle too. Why he keeps on going? What is the right answer? And then the last part leave my mouth hang open. Brilliant!
I thought this was a very well done short film and they were both excellent it was very well written and acted it keeps you on the edge you're hoping that she can save him but he makes his own choices in life she must don't feel any regrets
Loved this I don't usually give shorts a look, but was very surprised. I enjoyed this far more than anything I've watched lately. Well done to everyone involved!!
Wow...excellent presentation of a thoughtful idea...smiles. Indeed I am impress...smiles.
Thanks for watching Nurah. check out E.M.M.A. when you get the chance. Its our latest film on our channel now
Will do indeed.
Wow! What an amazing film, but a tragic ending. 5 star short film!!!!!
I study film production at school now, and my Uncle randomly showed this movie to me. He said I think you would like it. and he was right! This was really good! I couldn't help but talk during the movie trying to figure out the ending. I did solve the riddle though! Don't know if I said it before, but this movie was really really good. This link will now be passed around my film department. =D
Hey Marika, thanks for spreading the movie around. Glad you liked it. Please subscribe to us because we'll be putting out a few new shorts pretty soon. Do u have anything we can check out??
Hey Merika,
Check out our latest film E.M.M.A., playing on our youtube channel. Thanks again for watching and spreading the word
Really good story & realistic. What he did to her was pretty messed up tho. Like he punished her with his own death without reason.
That's just...SO good (and annoying because once you know the answer, it seems obvious!)
Well played.
Yes, there are a lot of unanswered questions for the viewer, but for each of the characters, they have all the answers they need. The riddle is not a riddle. Whether you "get it" or not is irrelevant. It was a way for him to determine if she ever noticed him too. Yes, they are the people in the riddle.
He appears to be a manically depressed introvert. His suicide was inevitable (as he stated time and again). However, maybe... just maybe... if she ever did even slightly notice him, that would have established a glimmer of hope. It would be a subtle starting point he can build from, thus momentarily calming his suicidal tendencies for the time being.
This doesn't have the feel of a fictional work. Rather, it feels like a tragically haunting tale that someone can't get past -- every last detail.
That was beyond amazing.
I've seen many shorts on TH-cam but this one stands apart as being one of the best. Acting and directing is first class.
Wow! Really great! The end totally caught me off guard! Awesome!
Great acting, the dialog was intriguing you just have to keep watching to see how it ends! One of the Best Psychological Shorts I've seen in awhile!!!
the audio really annoys me, as well as the jump cuts and dissolves but besides that this is a great short film
This is an excellent movie with great actors but very sad. We can be in the same room with a person, at church, work, classes and grocery
Lines and never know the hurt and burdens they bear. It pay to be tender hearted you never know if you might be the fuse.
...Wowww..!!! , Intense.., Verry well done..!! (Puts me in mind ov "The Slender Thread", 1965, w/S.Poitier, & A.Bancroft..). ..Btw, I "subscribed too.. ;-) .. Is your "The Promotion" out yet..?? Keep up thee awesome work..!!!
Yes The Promotion will be out in Feb! Please come back to check it out. Thanks for watching and commenting!
..Kind of you to respond.., I definitely will be back..!! Thank you.. ;-}
AMAZING JOB! LEFT A PIT IN MY STOMACH! BRAVO
i have been on a short movie "rampage" today and watched E.M.M.A. liked it, but this one really had me going like ???
then near the end it was starting to some sense then bam i felt mind blown!
good thing you never showed she lived in 3C :)
if that happened in real life she would just kill herself too.
the "moral" of this story is that people nowadays are so self centered in themselves to even care/help a person not in their "personal group", dam iphones!
i hope you are working on a new short film or something now, i want more!!!!
Hey Neo. Thank you for watching and leaving a comment! Glad you got the message of the film. We really hope it will touch people and change some attitudes. Also thanks for watching E.M.M.A. Keep checking back because The Promotion will be out next month!
E.M.M.A. is really one of the good shorts I've watched. And I also liked watching this short. I agree with you! The message is pretty accurate thanks to you.
Neo Here, they did show that she lived in 3C goto 0:14 and you'll see it...
Call me Mr. 3Y - The person who replies to a 3 year old comment :D
This turned out to be more fantastic than I thought it could. Smart and well done❤
Out-F*****-standing....loved it

TheBrokenBoxChannel done, thanks for the reminder to subscribe and follow...good luck in the future guys
Omg this was so hard to watch. I struggled with suicidal thoughts and it really hit home. This was rough but it’s unfortunately so true how people beg for a life saver that never happens.
omg I was yelling at my phone He lives next door to you!!! maybe this has nothing to do with the film, but it really is sad how now days we really don't see people because we are so caught up with our phones we fail to notice the people and details around us.
Kristina Gutierrez he lives next door to her!!!?
But the film does not even show their door numbers until after he is dead.
What a selfish A-hole.
That was brilliant,the end broke my heart
Wow, that was exceptionally well done.
Thanks Stephanie! Glad you liked it. Please subscribe for more!
Excellent actors & EXCELLENT short film, clever & moving!
GOD DANGGGGGGGGGGG THAT WAS AWESOME MAN! THANKS VERY MUCH

Brilliant! One of the best short films I've ever seen on TH-cam (or anywhere else for that matter)! Beautifully acted and scripted, left me with a literal pit in my stomach. Well done!! 💛💛💛
best short film I've seen in awhile.
+Keshia Morton Definitely agree with you Keshia
+Nash Hagen Media :)
Wow....mind blown 💥! That was one of the best pieces of film making I have ever had the pleasure of seeing! So much to say, yet I am speechless! The acting, 1st rate all the way around! Production! A One! But the story...the many things it says without ever saying them outright! The whole riddle! And how we walk through life with blinders on. We don't take the time to talk, or get to know our neighbors. The social commentary. 👏👏👏👏👏! That's a standing O!
This was so intense... it kept me on the edge of my seat with suspense.
Ikr
O my God! That was brilliant!
I tried to solved the riddle, and yeah, have the same thoughts with her.
But then i saw the ending parts and be like... "Wait....what????"
Wow....this movie was crazy.. i love it!
Wow! Amazing movie :o Great job :)
