Wow. Really moved me when the kid’s boss filled his bag with the bread. Sometimes just a bit of kindness can turn someone’s life in a better direction.
Was moved by this little movie and the beautiful song these two guys sing. One of the best short movies I've seen in a long time...
absolutely stunning work. it means a lot. this is what humanizing looks like, this is what this world needs
Beautiful story and I'm a little suprised that some people didn't get it. I'm guessing that they didn't take the time to listen to the lyrics of the song at the end which tells the story of the blond guy to begin with and then added to it by the dark guy which comes into play, the hardship that these 2 human beings. They are "brothers" in hardship, sexual orientation and music. The blond guy sees that he is not alone and find, into the other, a kinship of all those experiences. Someone who understands what he went through. Very moving, very sensitive…
Hi thereeee....kis kiss kis me 😋

It brought tears to my eyes. Beautiful!
Wow I have not had a gay short film touch me this hard I paused tears 😭 of joy. If everyone love each other, self love we just might be living a loving 🥰 ❤️ earth 🌍.
A beautiful story that’s inspired me to start song writing again. Thank you.
Wow! That was an unexpected tearjerker at the end. To have someone else show you the way to self-acceptance and finally be ready to go there, because you've tried everything else! I also loved how his boss helped him to be kind and generous with others.
OMG! I was in tears by the end of this short! The song, the emotional and mental breakthrough for the lead character, and the connection he finds truly rips at your heart. WONDERFUL! Thank you.
Thank you so much for the kind words, Gary
broke down in tears during the song
When he burst out singing it felt like I was hit with a 2x4 of emotion
AMEN!
Oh yea, me too. The floodgates opened.
Chilling!!!!
I can still hear the guitar
And feel the goose bump.
- beautiful brother
How you managed to cram so much into so little time was amazing. Maybe you have to dumb it down a little for all of us to understand what is going on, but there was also a beauty to your work that kept you short of breath. Thanks. Always looking to find parts of myself in these movies.
That was incredible! I admit I cried at the end.
The kindness in a world of pain is the most important(?) part of this film. Thank you.
really moving indeed - i would say the blond guy with all these problems fell in love through his own song , sang by another guy
Didn’t see the acting till the last scene. Among the top ten gay shorts I’ve seen, and I’ve watched hundreds on TH-cam. Authentic & Brilliant!
Hey Tony,
Can I know where are you from?
@@countriescontinentsgeograp8264 I m from India, dont know about toni
@@princezuko6804 OK, Zuko..

Beautiful short movie. And beautiful songs. So powerful when they sang together.
Beautiful short movie beautiful song in made me cry. Wow
Damn fine piece of film. Great to see Jesse James Rice back on the scene!
That was amazing. Great voice Mr Jones
So different and thought-provoking and moving! Excellent work!

This needs to be a full movie.... Beautiful.

Working on it. :)
Jesse James Rice
Wow. I just saw this and loved it. Jesse James Rice (who I'd never heard of) did such a good job here - especially his reaction in the open mic scene when he hears his song. Choked me up - nothing like music to draw out feelings 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻
EDIT: OMG those are original songs
Beautiful, touching and true - thank you
Adam Tyree, thank you! Believably acted; I felt what they portrayed. Good filmography and editing. Moving melody with lyrics that matched. At age 57 it tears into my heart and allows me a sense of abandon and surrender for hope. Thank you
Dave Fakadej 🙏🏽🙏🏽😊
Ditto!
Hi thereeee....kis kiss kis me 😋
Your generation really hard it tough I thank your generation for we not even perhaps not here today. The stepping stones is what made today for the gay males to have a chance to live free. Today their is a lot of Gay meetings places around the globalization communities I think James Sylvester help quite a bit as well from here to Africa. Long live our communities of hope.
Beautiful connection... the duet resonates with my heart and soul. 💜💜💜
Simply Stunning, Thank You for sharing. Hope truly is a powerful thing and so easy to share. Peace.
Wow! that was incredibly moving, Jesse is such a brilliant actor and fantastic to see Willie Jones after his X Factor performance, he certainly has come a long way since then!
This made me cry but it was because it was beautiful and insightful and well done. The dialogue about Joni Mitchell and Nina Simone was funny and icing on the cake. Yum.
good stuff!!! great job everyone!
Wouah !! maybe some people didn't understand but that's ok. I think it is so touching, beautiful and full of emotions. Thank you so much :-)
This was so powerful, and one of the best shorts I've ever seen. Thank you so much.
Thank YOU so much ❤️
May god bless all those in need of kindness. Outstanding guys!!!!
Beautiful movie,Beautiful Brother ❤️💜💙💚💛

gorgeous and meaningful short film
Wow. Amazing short film. Bravo
Stunning
this was incredibly emotionally brilliant. Thank you
Hello from Australia. A beautiful and touching film on every level. Thank you.
Excellent! Everything/everyone is so real. Great job. Have you thought about making this into a web series? Definitely need a part two at the very least.
Thanks so much. Something’s in the works. :)
@Adam Tyree - If it can be done, you can do it. It's going to be challenging to have this much punch in a longer form. Reminds me of the film The Way He Looks from an earlier short, and that turned out well. Brokeback Mountain was based on a short story! You'd never think that from the film. Seeing your talent on display makes wishing you luck seem superfluous, but I do anyway.
Awesome, thank you
Holy Cow! Won my heart definitely! ❤
Inchi Bohr ❤️❤️
Awesome! Why do people cause so much pain to those of us who are different than they? Perhaps they’re the ones who are different. If so, I know we would be cool with them in spite of the differences - everyone the same is colorless and dull.
Very moving piece Adam, thank you.
Thank you :)
Music is Life!
it is beautiful
thank you
More of this please!
Great short. I feel like this could have just been called OPEN MIC - Short Film (2019) though.
You don't know?
Oh, I live!

Well this was unexpected climax but i liked it
Lol, their was a new commerical of Chucky and I really wanna see it.
nice, luv it
MIKE i love you for all you do to the others
Please make this a feature, let us know how we can support
Amazing 👍
The impoverished young Mike in Adam Tyree’s “Open Mic” wants to take his guitar on stage to sing about his failed life but lacks the confidence. As played by Jesse James Rice, Mike bumbles through pretty much every day, living out of his pick up truck parked in a back alley, clumsily burning and cooking buns in equal number at the bakery where he works, struggling to converse with people regardless of whether he slept all night with them or someone he just met, such as Willie Jones’ Nathan, a fellow open mic performer. Indeed, Mike is not your typical character in a short film, gay or otherwise.
It’s hard to find a new take on a coming out story, but Jesse James Rice & Ryan Roschke’s script is commendable for trying. Its success in my view is due in large part to Adam Tyree’s direction & Jonathan Pope’s photography: the film has a gritty, & edgy feel to it, filled with numerous close-up & unsteady shots.
At the end, Mike’s coming out into the open, ironically, is at an open mic session. Mike gained his missing confidence from a fellow traveller who reveals their shared experience. What should have been a satisfactory resolution instead felt to me like a dramatic contrivance which unfortunately lessened an otherwise good film.
Bravo!
The boss really is a good man
One of the best short movies I have ever seen, and I’ve seen a lot of them. Beautiful cinematography, photography, acting was incredible and the song... wow... this song should be on Spotify! Is the actor also a singer? Should definitely be. Congrats to everyone involved in this. ❤️
Honey B Thank you so much for the kind words. ❤️❤️
Adam Tyree you guys should really consider a part 2 or a full length feature! I’m sure it would do well!! xx
Honey B We’re working on the feature script 🙌🏾
Adam Tyree omg bless you all!! I will support 100%!! Keep us posted!! Wish you all the best ✨🙌🏻
If it’s the only thing I take away from this is people put on a shell to hide their problems and it’s ok to let people in and see your issues and the problems you face as well as something so simple can really change the way your life is going don’t be afraid to take a risk.
Very cool.
