Thank you all for the great messages and the overwhelming support. Make sure to like and share this short film. We worked hard and we hope to create more soon!
have lost 2 close friends to gun murders; PTSD sucks...only the pain remains, home alone...hope everyone watches this powerful message & follows the two links at the end! Gratefully
Thought this was a happy short film until it turned into The Black Phone 😭
Fr bro like I've been binge watching gay short films and this poor soul just wants to see two adorable gay characters live a happily ever after 😭 is that too much to ask for? 💔🥺
@@NO0_ONE I hope you're able to watch: Red, White, & Royal Blue - Heartstoppers - Young Royals for the kinds of stories/endings we deserve! Wishing you much peace & love! ☮❤
@@NO0_ONEomg. Tell me about it , say it louder for the ones in the back. 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
This hits home hard...I had the chance to spend the night with someone that I loved but opted not to because I was afraid. He died the next day, This is the only regret that I have in my life.
Living ing in France where shooting is a popular weekend activity, you have tragedy like this once or twice every year.
Excellent film and well edited.
Imagine living in a place where this happens everyday. We do in the U.S.
The title of the book with the yellow and white cover that is on the coffee table in the last scene (in Español) is J D Salinger’s “The Catcher in the Rye”…. The main character of the novel struggles as young man to be able to relate to other people. The two guys struggle to express how they feel toward each other. …until it is too late to do so, except for the “extra-ordinary”, “super-ordinary” communication. Powerful short film! How much love have we (I) lost out of fear and caution, worrying about what the other may think or feel. Oh my…
This is a film you need to watch several times to capture all the subtle nuances between the 2 main characters. As much as I enjoyed this film, I just wish the LGBT+ community could have more happy endings. Bravo to directors/writers.
I'm tired of gay tragedy.
Enjoyed this film 🎥 well acted, written and directed, thanks for posting it
Good, but we need more happy endings
Beautiful and Tragic. As gay men we go through so much. This really hit hard. Deep Message. Added to favorites and sharing with my friends and family. Im from Rgv as well ❤❤❤
You should say what's in your heart while you have time, who knows later whether you get the time or not
Best short I've seen all in quite a while. Congrats!
Really nice acting and chemistry between everyone.
Did anyone else get chills down their back when the mom said that Dylan died
I had a hard time watching this because it hit home for me I just wish that everyone can be accepted for who they are and who they love
you do know gays can have happy endings right 💀
Great story and good acting. It made you feel!!
oh the sadness of a lost love is overwhelming 💔💔💔💔💔
I just went through so many emotions in the span of 20 minutes. 👏
Excellent work! Tank you!
Da pena admitir que todavía vivimos en una sociedad donde esto es la realidad. 😢
esaxti..👌
mkay, interesting. but the fact that bro got hit by a random bullet on the THIRD try is crazy. and this TELEPHONE he keeps playing with is ruffling my feathers
Can I please have the name of the song and artist that plays at the end. Its so somber but beautiful. I thought it was Know you less by lost in limbo but nothing is coming out on TH-cam 😢
Heartwarming.
Woudn't have minded seeing more of the longhair skaterboy, Diego Garza
Great job! 👏👏
Thank you!
Love never dies. ❤
Impressive and strong 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Beautifully sweet.
great movie!!
This was confusing as hell. The second I started to care about the characters it turned into a supernatural murder mystery. The chemistry is there, the acting is okay, the cinematography is stellar...but the writing lost me.
I am sobbing
What a terribly sad film. It underlines why people should say 'I love you' to those that they do. Remember 'love' is natural and has no boundaries or human control. We all look for love, and when it comes it is magic, irrespective of gender. Hate and prohibition is taught.
I’m too sad to comment other than to say I will watch it again someday ❤😢❤
me too
On the upside, at least Santi didn't have to kiss a smoker.
Aren’t you clever.
the smoking scene is soooo romantic 🥰😍
Was Dylan hit by a random stray bullet? Living in Germany, this appears so unimaginable to me ...
As an American I wish I could say the same.
Mach's gut.
In Brazil this is rare but it happens a lot...
after someone fired twice already
Muy buena pelicula
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿🔥
Retirei 👍,não entendi se ele morreu ou não
He cries with no tears. =/
😊
There was no need to include the "cigarette" in the storyline.
Exelente!!
"multi-award-winning" - what were the awards please?
💖💝🤎❤️💜🩵💙💚💛🧡🩷
I SO SICK OF THESE SHORT FILMS ENDING IN DEATH OR SELF INFLICTED WOUNDS....
LGBT ARE HAPPY LIVING PEOPLE... ITS NOT ALWAYS EASY, BUT ITS LOVE.
LOVE IS LOVE
Okay, ouch. 🤍
Also jetzt wieder ein tragisches Ende?
What is the deep message of the movie? You shouldn't live in the States because of this almighty NRA? I don't get the flick.
That you should always cherish the ones around you now before the un-thinkable happens, and your left with a lifetime of regret…
@@gibby3198 Are you American? Probably. Because you didn't get my point. In your country, it is anything but "un-thinkable" to get shot at and die from. Since 1960 until today more people have died in your country from domestic shootings - all killed by "friendly fire" - than in all wars combined the US was ever involved in, since your Civil War, WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Yugoslavia, Iraq... so this is not a gay movie, it's an (anti-)NRA movie... - Peace.🕊
where were you on January 6th boss
@@redsphotos1856 Luckily not being American, I had the great priviledge to watch this Absurdistan story in D.C. from Europe.
Sem graça 🤔
That girl is annoying
Smoking is stupid ... destroys the video.
Why gay movies always end up in a tragedy?
You guys are amazing! Can’t wait for more!🩷
