- A man suspects his friend committed a crime.
JEFF is used with permission from Adam Linzey. Learn more at adamlinzey.com.
Alex is a roofer from the U.K. working in Los Angeles, often on top of the high-rise towers that stud the city landscape. He's also a heavy drinker who's fond of giving his best friend Jeff a hard time.
After one night out with his crew and many, many drinks, Alex woozily drives homes and catches sight of someone throwing a man off a bridge.
In his inebriated state, he believes it was Jeff who threw the man into the water below. But because he was drunk, he's not sure -- and his uncertainty forces him to question not just his friendship, but his sobriety.
Writer-director Adam Linzey's short thriller is all about blurring lines: those between perception and reality, between intoxication and clarity and between friend and enemy. As its main character attempts to unravel a mystery he's ill-equipped to take on, he seems to set off a domino effect in his own life that causes him to question himself and his decisions.
The visuals are excellent at capturing a general sense of alienation, especially as the construction workers toil on roofs surrounded by the cityscapes around them, devoid of context and connection. It underscores that Alex is a stranger in a strange land -- and perhaps a stranger to himself.
His uneasiness within himself seems to manifest itself in his combative rapport with his friends, especially Jeff, a genial yet wary man who seems almost the opposite of Alex, with a stable family life and a sense of comfort with himself. The performances and writing are alert to the way these men talk and yet don't quite communicate with one another -- an opacity and gap that the storyline exploits to maximize tension and force Alex to question not just what happened, but himself. But as he penetrates deeper into the central mystery of the story, he is led into an even deeper void.
JEFF combines the propulsive sense of craft and pacing that characterizes a thriller with a more brooding character portrait. The film is named after Alex's friend, but Alex's need to know and understand propels the forward motion of the narrative. The great irony is that the story underscores just how unknowable people can be -- both to others and to ourselves.
If you suspect that friend killed someone, better not to confront or you will be the next
Especially when you don't have any proof. Or drunk at that time.
Cahidi Joyo Raharjo Drunk and popping pills.
It's okay to confront, just don't confront on top of a freaking skyscraper haha
Confronting anyone about having thrown someone off a bridge doesn't seem at all wise while standing atop a high building.
That falling perspective though
Élías it was good
When he killed his friend he killed us all 😔
perfect way to show the reality of the situation.
The moral of the story : Never confront a suspected murderer.
Exactly. I can’t understand why people do this in movies lol.
The reason it was a story : alcohol & anti-depressants impair your judgement
And even if you think you have to do it, at least safe the information beforehand and do it the right way, with safety precautions.
That nevet turns out well...
@@littlemrpinkness295 Of course, you just have to know what you do.
Never did I ever see "a falling from the building to death scene" from the victims perspective.....my heart dropped. It is Still there on the road....
That last scene felt too real and immersive- it was frightening indeed
it was incredibly well done.
I agree!
You should try watch it in VR! Honestly I felt for a second I was the one falling.
It was immersive. Perfect word choice. As the audience it felt like it happened to us. Also it was foreshadowing when it felt like it was us who got punched at the bar earlier. I thought that was well done. And the first half of the film I just kept thinking "wow Jeff is such a nice guy". Super great acting and directing I think. ❤️
@@erincote3702 Very true^^ even movies with high budgets can’t pull this immersive experience off
Not gonna lie, they had us in the first half.
Does that work here? That would mean there was a trick ending but it was exactly as it set it up to be.
HuskyKid02 idk, thinking isn’t my strength.
@@huskykid0295 not really, it was set up that the drunk was seeing things because his friend was such a chilled out non violent dude, the twist was, that he was right.
HuskyKid02 R/Wooooooosh
The Cheese With 1K Subs 🤣👌
You could see the hesitation in Jeff's eye when his friend told him he was going to the police. Jeff didn't want to kill him, but he felt he needed too.
And here I was thinking we'd find out it was Alex that did it all along, apparently a drunk driver can be a reliable witness
Ya...LOL...tell that to the courts mate!
@@james-ww3ot Lol I know what tou mean ! An I did not laugh for some reasons....
It's amazing how people who drink are ready to question everything, but never do they once ask themselves whether they are drinking too much or should be drinking at all.
@@FirstLast-ej2cy 😂 Lmfao...you must be drunk right now mate...all those typos
🤣🤣🤣🤣...
Am also drunk right now....🤣😂🤣😂...
Drunkards are trust worthy....
@@sneed472 So what... bro ....... ultimately you are trust worthy.....
Cheers to that!
@@786JavedPervez it’s the booze talking mate
The scariest part: The son had the same look in his eye as his psychopath father.
That falling perspective was legit disturbing. It was very immersive
I agree
It was exactly like my dream! Falling off a building.
But I don't understand why in many cases the witness tells to the murder in the face :I saw kill one person, instead of calling the police, I've seen this scene in a lot of movies, absurd isn't it? 🙄
Yeah, I agree!!
Exactly
Indeed, it is.
PsyOp, they want to make us as dependent to the system as possible, so scare us about not telling everything to the government.
But in this case, yes it would be better to tell the police about it (with the evidence), or at least store the evidence in a safe place.
Because we love them. :)
When someone leaves a beat up, drunk, work buddy, to drive home, you know, s/he don't give a f**k!
Anybody else think Jeff seems to be in a wayyy better mood the next morning? I can’t help, but notice that he almost seems like a new man.
Moral of the story sometimes your first instinct about someone or something is
true
Never question a psychopath who enjoys killing..
The ending was shocking. I straight up got chills.
Accidents happen all the time. Especially on the road and at construction sites. And our Dark Passenger is always lurking just behind the thin facade of civility!
Yikes!
@@kabasta666 , you know that if you changed your name to. Daughters of lesbos lover, that the acronym would be DOLL. LOL
@@areaboy777 wtf?!
Very good movie! Even though I was pretty sure that the ending would be that his best friend really WAS a murderer, I was still eagerly watching and wondering what would happen next when they were up on the rooftop. I loved the camera's perspective of Jeff's death and the absolute abruptness and darkness when he hit the ground. ** S P L A T ! **
that was original...and quite well done...I felt the inevitability of it right through my bones...
@Spencer Proctor , you may want to re-read what you wrote bro,
@Spencer Proctor Hmmmm---Jeff seems to have dual roles in this movie
Bruh why did I read comments while watching
Holy Hell... I definitely didn't see THAT coming!! Kudos for the great ending lol
Wow, those two are more toxic than the space under my bed
LOL...too funny!
Mayo is spicy for you.
😂😂😂
Never ask a murderer if he had killed someone.
The camera guy after he threw him off a building - "OH FR-"
Well, at least he wont have a black eye anymore.
HAHAHA! i don't know why I thought your comment was so freakin' funny!
LOL!!!
Yeah, cause the ground is splattered with his whole head now.
No, he will have 2 black eyes.
Or a back problem!!
Wow! More likely than not the world is a better place without those who go around provoking bar fights.
or driving so piss ass drunk they cant decide if they in England or America
Goes to show you that you never just quite know what people are capable of.
AGREED,100% no body think the little girl poison her husband and end up rich don't blame her the late husband is control freak she put up with the sh......t .for 18 years "yes sir, no sir" she deserved it.
Classic Hitchcockian tale, very well done. Dude shoulda kept his mouth shut, though.
He deserved it, he was a dick
I think he figured that out right before he hit the ground .
I think he figured that out right before he hit the ground !
I knew it!
Classic twist
This is my favorite Omeletto so far. Great suspense and spectacular ending!
Geez, and he was such a nice bloke...
Lol.
Bit of a temper tho.
I question your definition of “nice”. 🤣
Great ending. Loved the camera work.
well, i was not expecting THAT all my years of living
Well, that escalated quickly there at the end.
clray123 👏👏👏
Deescalated even quicker.
Who the hell pops anti-depressants like they’re friggin’ Xanax or something? I’ve never seen that before.
now that's a friendship that lasts a lifetime... especially when one shortens the other's XD
@Steve Jarvis well, actually... it lasted a lifetime, but probably not his natural lifespan... if you could put it that way (I mean dead is dead, who is to say he would've lived many years if he wasn't murdered... he could just drop dead minutes later had he not been murdered)
Okay, I kinda saw it coming, but at the same time I'm a little sad that Jeff turned out to be the bad guy, because he made a real good good guy.
Dick in Bar: "I'm not your fukkking buddy, pal."
Jeff: (death stare) "I'm not your pal, friend"
Jeff's kid=Cartman, yes?
The plot twist was revealed when that employee said Jeff is a vegan.
*Never* trust a vegan.
ALLEN!!! YOU GENIUS, YET ANOTHER FANTASTIC ONE YET AGAIN!!! AMAZING!!! EVERYTIME IM TRULY ENTERTAINED
🙏
Notice how pissed he got when the guy bumped into him earlier like he was already planning to kill that guy.
oh wow, great observation!
Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda, Kept His Big Mouth Shut!
Loved it! Also, kudos for actually having an ENDING, a resolution. I am soooo sick of these shorts that try-hard to be clever or edgy and then end a short with no....well....ending!
Gooootdammmmn that drop from the roof top took me out 🤦🏽♀️😂😂🎯 excellent delivery bravvoooooo ..👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Moral of the story: Murderer's and serial killers are amongst us, that's there strength and it doesn't always show on their face.
The moral of the story is: always wear a jetpack
Catharsis Yeah but they take a while to open up
That was a great short with a great twist at the end ! Too bad the friend couldn’t let it go . I don’t know , maybe Alex felt like he had no choice in the matter . Jeff definitely had a choice in the matter ! He’s cold blooded too ! Made his decision quickly and then acted on it immediately . I like Jeff , I could be his friend .
This area is in GTA
No shit...I thought that too but wasn't sure. Thanks for the confirmation mate.
@@james-ww3ot In the description it says it's L.A. as in California. Why do you doubt that?
You mean Los Angeles? Yeah, its a major city, it's in a lot of movies.
10:12 is when he really took his mask off - the whole time he was playing a role - before and after that
At the ens om the rooftop, I just felt: Don't turn your back on him🤦🏽♀️, he is the killer."
AWESOME 👏
oh my...well okay. I thought that guy was so drunk that HE might have done it himself but did not remember...
Brilliant piece.
Pretty sure Jeff plays a guy from sons of anarchy.
Yeah, filthy phil.
@@NathanJ249 YOOOOO
Moral of the story is... mind ya business
That is what is stamped on the first Authorized U.S Coin..! Mind Your Business.. Other side is a Sun Dial ..The feugo Coin
This short movie is trying to defy the saying "Nothing is what it seems", cause he definitely saw it for what it really was.
The big guy was such a likable character...well until the end 🙄
Excellent
The moral of the story…So much for “Best Mates”. We are our own Best Mates!
Beautiful Sound Design
It could use some volume. I"m on 100% now. Next commercial will kill my ears...
Bout damn time!😂 Good one.
Well alrighty then. That was a great twist of friendship. Keep up the fantastic work for for real.👌😍😇😘👍
love your "well, alrighty then" hahaha.....gotta love Jim Carrey...I can just hear him saying that in your comment!
That ending , bravo 👍
Outstanding!
Well done! 👏👏⭐Superb acting fellas! 🤛💕
Always trust your 'instinct/ intuition', ALWAYS~
Stay 'safe' and be well everyone, blessed be~🌙
A hangover black & blue Poirot. What a great idea!
Moral of the story: DON’T MESS WITH VEGANS!
Very good👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Really cool short. :)
"He likes to see people falling down from heights" 🙄
throwing people off bridges means owed money
lol
Predictable but well done.
He let his friend get behind the gel of a car while drunk, they were never close friends!
These movies just get better and better. I swore out loud at the end. The F word. Riveting.
pure quality content.
WOAH!!! Darn colonials beating up us Brits again. Harsh.. lol.. seriously though.. Great little short. I didnt expect the ending, although really I should have. Also.. that perspective on the falling scene.. whoooo.. I watched that several times, brilliantly done!! Very immersive.
Stop being such a JEFF 😆
That was a good one. Interesting ending. Didn't expect it.
That was pretty messed up! I like it
That was pretty heavy. ✔
actually easy too lift...lol
I am pretty sure the crane crow saw the whole scene ,and he 'll try blackmailing that ant down there and will discover soon but too late that not every bird can fly !
Can I just say I HATE people who get so drunk they can irritate other people at the bar instead of just shutting the hell up and just enjoy your drink, talk your friends and leave others alone who don't want to be bothered? It really isn't that hard to do. Seems like there is ALWAYS someone who is THAT guy...
"I Didn't see nothing!" 😎🙈
you always gotta trust your gut
I had a feeling that he did it the first time he was asked. The face on the turn around made me question
🗣️🗣️This was fire 👏👏👏👏
Well DAMN!😮
This guy is Eddie Dumbroski if he killed James and made it out of Silent Hill..
Good work but why didn't they close the window when they where you know
@Spencer Proctor screwing
Kissing
It should've been in first person perspective 😭😭😭😭
I love to travel and visit cities with a lot bridges just to throw people off them.
Wow I felt like I was falling
Never judge a book by its cover
sooo always have two hats is what I get from this
So drinking makes you see reality?
No , clearly his former friend was a serial killer and he stumbled upon this information...What he should have done is kept his mouth shut until he had more info and then go to the police.
The moral of the story here kids is always trust the drunk person
2:08 The bartender needs more lessons, or perhaps the editing guys.
Nah the bartender knew what was up
My volume is maxed out and I can't f****** hear it. Fix your audio
Where did he go on the bridge though?
