bro I came from Instagram and after searching for this short film.......bro the teaser was released 2 years ago whatttt... People who waited for it might be finally happy
That WHOLE INTERACTION in 8:34 you could clearly see how Casey had those butterflies going wild the second after Haden said "I didn't think there was anything here for me," and when Haden walks away, the 'stupid in-love face' she had was so prominent lmao THIS IS HOW YOU MAKE COMING OF AGE FILMS. The script, acting and the two women's chemistry were all so organic.
It was so beautiful. So touching. I have tears. As a woman near 60, this hits very differently. I see my missed opportunities because I was afraid to live. This is Beautiful, Elle. Done so well.
the essence of elle mills is written all over this. i remember watching a couple years ago at buffer film festival and being in complete awe of how clever, creative, and warm it felt. i am so proud and happy this project is finally out!!
This is so reminiscent of elle's old vlogs, I love how you can see her editing style and music choices in this film and in her old vlogs as well, this is so nicely done❤
WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THEIR FIRST EYE CONTACT? The way she stared at Haden as if it was love at first sight and how she HAD to chase-stare her down as Haden walks away? Oh my god it was so subtle but !!!
@@Julesjohnson10 there’s a term called “u-haul lesbian” which basically refers to when lesbians will move in together really early on in their relationship, it’s kind of a stereotype but also true in some cases lol
Elle it’s you, you posted😭 you were my whole childhood I’m now 22 but as soon as I realized it was you who posted I never clicked so fast I love it so much so proud of you Elle!❤️ look forward to more short films !!
as a person who has dated “straight women” in my late teens, early 20s… and hearing about them now (through common friends) in my 30s and they’re in committed, hetero relationships, it reminded me of the burn. it’s not a sting, it’s a burn.. one that got me vowing, i’m done being the experiment, someone’s first or someone’s trial. Chappell Roan reminded me both of that moment and gave me a closure to my closure back then, if that makes any sense lol. 🙈🥰 it’s so powerful and the song is relatable.. gives you a backtrack on how wonderful it is to discover your preferences in partner selection, boundary making and discovering your identity. it’s her song that got you in my algorithm on IG. Amazing short film. Thank you. i needed you in 2010, and im absolutely relieved that the next generation have you now.🥰 keep going, great job!
This movie is so filled with life, you can tell how much love and care and passion was put into creating this. The set and camara angles the dialogues fells so real. And the acting and delivery just elevates everything to a high level. There is a vibe of thus being an actual movie. The story is beautifully bittersweet. Just, huge kudos to everyone who worked on this!!!
This was absolutely incredible. With the way you at first think it's about the boyfriend and it slowly switches over to Hayden. This was incredible, excellent job!
The cinematography,the acting,the script,this is such well placed short film,and I hate that it is a short film,the ending..was so full and hollow at the same time,aghhh I want to know what happens afterwards!😭
hi elle! ive been watching your videos since i was in high school. im supposedly graduating from uni now but life happened and that’s not happening in the near future. i just want to say i really loved this short film to the point that i literally screamed while tears roll down my eyes with that ending. im two months late, but hey at least im here! watching your vids from pranks and other laughable matters turn into a coming-of-age short film that tackles an important matter made me feel something like a sense of pride. watching your videos mature the same time i do is inexplainable. it’s like growing up with a friend. i know i’m just a subscriber, and you don’t know me but you’ve put a lot of smiles in my face and now, tears. i was a victim of compulsary heterosexuality and it took me six years to accept who i am. seeing a representation made specifically by you feels bittersweet for me as i was a “casey” before. i really missed your videos. although technically your face wasn’t shown in this, i felt that you were here in a spiritual level. i hope to see more of you soon! with love, your silent subscriber since 2017
Found this sweet short film on Instagram. Feel the love connection between characters in the 14 minute film which was not seen in the 2 hour film mostly. Beautiful direction, acting, writing and everything. Glad to see this short film.❤❤❤
saw this on instagram and it excelled my expectations, i really loved the rawness of love shared between hayden and casey it was the perfect portration of a summer love
so happy I spent my lunch break watching this.... now I'm crying in a coffee shop. Fantastic. This was amazing and felt so genuine. I want this to be a full film of a whole season with these characters.
the making the acting the detailing everything felt so full of emotions as if im seeing it first hand, but damn made me wanna sit in for an hour for this.
My name is Riley.. at the end when he said, “I do hope you find your happy ending Miss Riley, you deserve it”… I really took that to heart. This short film had me thinking about all the troubles and turmoil I’ve had with love recently, and how nothing seems to fit. Thanks Sam, I hope I find my happy ending too.
Elle this is so good. I’m in my 30s and have watched you for years and totally understood you taking a step back. So glad to see you still creating and taking your time to create this. This was so good. One of the best things I’ve watched in a while. So proud of you and looking forward to your future projects.
Elle mills you did so much with what you had! Bigger studios will certainly recognize your talent. Very excited to watch your first feature length film soon
Hi I'm Japanese learning English. I came from Instagram and I watched this whole movie, barely :) I got the rough meaning crying, but I didn't understand it perfectly. So.. I think I'm gonna keep watching this at many point in my life. I might feel different depending on the time. I'm sure this short film is gonna be so special for me. Thank you💕✨
Nooooo pls we need a full movie now😭 This is such a great movie pls pls pls. Thank youuuu Tiktok I watched this beautiful short film 💯. I wish you all the bestttt and I hope more people can watch this masterpiece ♥️
I was a baby dyke just realizing I liked girls at 18 just a couple of years before this is set, in 2004/2005. I had a boyfriend who I thought I was going to spend forever with, and then I made friends with a girl who already knew who she was. I... cannot express to you what I"m feeling having watched this because I don't even really know, but I need you to know I'm nearly 40 years old and I am sitting in my office with tears streaming down my face because I feel so unbelievably SEEN. This was recommended to me at random, I did not go searching for it, I actually thought it was a trailer and not a whole short film. I. Thank you. For this. Really. I had a slightly different trajectory than our lovely protagonist - I broke up with my boyfriend and that girl who knew who she was has been my best friend and partner for 19 years. But it could've gone the other way. and either way, the middle part, the part where you're falling in love but you don't really know what to think of it and you have other plans, but she's *there* and she's so vibrant and vivid... that's the same. So yeah. Thank you. I don't know if you'll even see this comment, it's been months and there's almost a thousand already, but I needed to say it all. Thank you.
I was so excited to see this become available on TH-cam, especially after seeing the trailer years ago. God, I can relate to and feel Casey’s curiosity, crush, and confusion all at once. So so so good and needed Elle! Thank you for this gem :) So excited to see a full length movie of yours soon!
❣️I love this Elle. Just turned 21 and it’s crazy that I’ve been watching you since high school. Congratulations on this and wishing you many more successes in the future!!!
This was so heart warming to watch it really showed how love can just jump out of nowhere and how messy it can be. I love this so much!!! It was filmed really well😊😊😊
THIS IS THE BEST SHORT MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN please please please Elle tell me you’re making more work because this was fantastic and the gay angst was perfect 😭
Ppl talking about finding trailers of this on other platforms and here I’m coming across it by chance on YT 😌 Elle the storytelling is so beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤❤ I’ll definitely watch a full length film of these two characters 😍😍😍😍😍
ANOTHER PART ANOTHER PART ANOTHER PART please please please 😭 It's just so fucking beautifully written, directed, recorded, performed, the cinematography is literally summerly mind-blowing. I loved it. Please continue making more films 🌹
I remember making a very small contribution to the making of this film about three years ago. I first watched it during its festival run in 2022. Now watching it again, it’s still a heartwarming and lovely film. I’ll definitely come back and watch it again and again❤
bro I came from Instagram and after searching for this short film.......bro the teaser was released 2 years ago whatttt... People who waited for it might be finally happy
