- A story about two people.
After 2 years, it’s done. This has been a project I’ve been working on since before I decided to come to Glasgow. It went under many transformations as the months went by, but I’m happy I stuck with it. Thank you so much for checking this out, and thank you so much to everyone who helped out for their patience and trust. It's not perfect, but it's WAY better than anything I could've ever done by myself.

Top 10 anime betrayals
Why no one commenting
Lol
Tower of god: : )
LMFAO
I loved how in the beginning we hear the door creak, but the door in the frame still closed then it pans over to the other door.
It gently and warmly creaks open and she smiles and says "I'm over here".
Contrasted with the ending where she slams the door shut and we're just left with the guy in the frame.
Also, not sure if this was intentional or not, but him knocking on the wrong door in the beginning might've tipped us early that he wasn't on the same page with her regarding their relationship.
So evocative, beautiful, and relatable.
SERIOUSLY?! THATS IT?! THIS COULD HAVE GONE ON WAY MORE! I WANT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS!!?!!
Same here
Same 💔
Its written above ... "we were friends" 💔💔
Me tooo
Natasha Armstrong sameee
i’ve been heartbroken before, the guy i liked was dating my best friend , i used to dream of us being together but i knew it would never happen. this short film is honestly rlly beautiful. it gets my butterflies. i just want that kind of love. i want some one to think of me as more then just friends, cuz i’ve never had that happen to me before. dear adrian, (who was my crush) you will always be my first ever love but u won’t be my last.
Hey if its you on the right side in your TH-cam profile picture...you are very beautiful 🤗🙌
@@Cineraria99 he looks like the kid off of stranger things
Do you have the gay?
@@Harp_7 no gay.....i thought it was a girl
@@Cineraria99 idek dude, our generation is fucked
Those colors tasted so good.
Fuck, how can 3 and half minutes make me feel something. I've been through this and you did a great job making it into art.
I saw ####
Maybe he ate garlic
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 epic
Hahahahhahahabaa
Hahaha
@ali what is lamao
LOL

I don't think I've ever said this about a film before but the editing makes so much sense in this movie. From the sick match cut to all the different perspectives before and after the kiss (kind of reminded me of the Expectation vs Reality scene from 500 days of Summer), it all works really well.
But there's no one credited as an editor. WTF Ben!?
Cudgel Thy Brain wait this is a movie or?
3:02 my whole entire life
you just made me cry from a single shot in a three-minute film. that was magical.
how a friendship dies 101
This isn't exactly the way how my friendship with my best friend dies but it's the same reason : love ...
hanni yeah I definitely not gonna ruin my friendship with my crush just because of my feelings
hanni that’s how mine is gonna end.
@@liyahj1586 I think you should try to tell him about your feelings ... maybe he's going to understand it... no matter how it ends you should try.... after I told him I felt so much better 😀and after about 3 months I fell in love with someone else and I told him so we are friends again 😀
hanni no I don’t think I should, things already aren’t really going great anymore..it’s like he’s being distant
Awesome film. It really shows them being genuine friends, being goofy and having funs like the kids we all are at heart. Then that kiss. It takes what they had, and kills it. Brilliant writing. It says exactly enough for you to know everything.
Does it kill it though?
Can't wait until We Were Friends 2. ;)
I think I just rewatched that transition like five times at 1:06 because it's just so good. And also I really like how you handled the ending.
Me tooo
This has to be my comfort vid. I come back every month and watch it at least once 😭😭
If this girl is going to leave a friend just like that then they weren't real friends😂
I want to kinda disagree with you and agree with u to you and just kissed you I don't know if you would do the same but there wasn't more to it so you don't know if that's the acual reason they weren't friends but I also agree with you cause if I got kissed from my best friend I would probably tell him I wasn't thinking anything farther than friend's or I was just wasn't ready yet
I agree
@@kynnedyrobinson892 what?
Wonderful.
Poignant ending.
So much left hanging in the balance.....
Will she?
Won't she?
The attempted crossing of the bridge from friendship to something more.....
Ann Justin hotel? Trivago
The transition at 1:06 is actually hallucinogenic but those actors were WEAK at skimming stones. I mean they didn't even get one bounce in there
Phat Dipole I am weak forgive me :(
Phat Dipole wow, I hadn't even noticed how smooth that cut was until watching it a second time
Kyle The Guyle I needed 4 times to really take it in
Tim Ovenden u do not need to be mean!
Lmao
Well that hurt to watch.In a good way.
Nooo please continue this 😢 I need to see more
You said a lot with very few words. Thanks for sharing :)
This is where it would have pulled on my heartstrings.... IF I HAD SOME. Well made, Mr. Canada. keep up the good work.
This is so beautiful and moving and also a bit confusing, and I love that and I love the whole thing just in general. Amazing work
Excellent, Ben. Really well done in so many ways - and the acting really was effective. It brought back lots of memories of that area too! Congratulations.. Auntie Ann & Uncle Billy
Loved it's simplicity and human truth. The end resonated with me and I love what you do man. You have inspired me to let loose my movie passion. Keep up your work.
I still come back to this sometimes.
Amazing work, Mr. FromCanada.
This is beautiful, haunting, and real. Thank you for sharing it with us.
I came across this video for the first time just over 2 years ago. It always makes me think what could’ve happened after the ending.
Blown away by the music!!!! Truly Amazing !!!!!! No words ......
Sad,deep, relatable.....amazing
but i’m literally obsessed with this so much, the guy in this is so cute i would definitely kiss him back!
Yassss .
The kiss is my fav part of the movie . So good
I loved it til the end and now I don't know what to feel
The first 2:11 minutes could fit perfectly into a section of Up where Carl and Elie are teenagers.
love it! editing acting like another character in the narrative, great work
This is really great. The world needs more content like this. Thank you Ben
Omgggg!! The sceneries are too good ♥♥🌸🌸🌸
You will always be my friend... And maybe forever...
No matter what my happens Edward...
You're the most caring heart on this planet...
I'm happy we are friends...
It's even more emotional when you slow down playback speed to 0.75. you might cry
Just want to tell you i love your content
I fall in love with this film every time I watch it. I can relate
Really touching short film. I'm not an English or media student but it was impacting and left so many unanswered questions!
oh this is gorgeous i'm done with u
Wow, I felt his confusion, surprise, and ultimately, pain.
Yea, that’s pretty much how it goes. Sometimes art following life is vicious to behold.
Hey technical question: Did you cross, 180° line, in the last conversation shot?
Yes I did! Very deliberately. Good catch!
@@BenFromCanada It looked extremely natural and super smooth. Good Job!
@@BenFromCanada Good man replying to him out of the sea of comments
The places are beautiful
Plz create more of these !!!!🖤🖤🖤🖤
That was unexpectedly good. WOW
I don't get it.
Apple Blair sme
Apple Blair

That's the point.
Like everything else of yours I’ve seen Ben…this is really good
..this is why i’m scared to tell my crush i like him.. I feel like.. if i tell him.. Our friendship will.. break..

Baishali Kaur - oh well one of my friends told him and well, we aren’t together but.. we’re friends still..
@@Joyce-bd6ku thsts good i just wish mine wouldve actually cared about me he invites me to his house and everything and he just wants me everywhere with him but still want to keep our realationship a secret so im like wtf then he takes me after class and we skip school and nothings working out

Great job! That was awesome
Damnnnn, also BEAUTIFUL CINEMATOGRAPHY
damn it ben you gave me the feels
U HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING!!??? THAT'S IT!!??? I WANT MORE PERIOTTTTTT
*Me and my bff had a fight, he said that he will talk to me after HE SCORES A GOAL IN SOCCER, He have his 322% but he lost, I was watching the match, he was so disappointed at himself, he criticized himself, didn’t show me his face, ran whenever saw me, cried in the corner, Never talked to me, went on depression (he’s so lame) all I ever wished for is to hug him and wipe his tears for the last time but he pushed me so far*
Omg it's so SAD I watched this 2 TIMES and i still cried #TheFriendZone
It was breathtaking and just so beautiful
when he did that cartwheel i was like. Periodt
I just wrote a whole letter when I go back to school to give my ex best friend
Hey Ben! Can you give us a part two? I could tell the girl was going through something and didn't want to share it.
A friendship between a girl and a boy doesn't really exist, generally there's always one of the 2 persons who's in love with the other 😑
Fr
loveee the music!
Me to my friend: I will always for you and help u
Friend: ignore
I like the colour s and light in this
Can you tell me which camera you used?
Hi Ben From Canada,
I really liked your film. It felt genuine. Keep it up!
Max From The Netherlands
😂😂 it got my feels going good work 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
What kind of ending was that
love the music, spotify for concentration
2:30 my brain is stop working! ( i see dis scene 8 time cuz it’s so cute)
My boy just messed up.
I had a best friend like that.... so hurting and unfforgiving
Except the story is that he just stopped hanging out with me..AFTER EIGHT YEARS ....
Ah... so much time wasted
damn the sad part is that this can happen, even when u don’t expect it
This was amazing please continue to make more
What, that's it, why was she so mad at the end
She is faced with reality.
YOU'RE SO BEAUTIFUL 🗣️‼️‼️‼️
They were friends?!
If they were actually true best friends then their friendship wouldn't have ended just coz of one kiss
Hello everyone! My name is Quoc Sy, i born in VietNam. I live to speak English. English can help me know many friends around the world and know many cultures is why I learn English myself. Nice to be friends with everyone
That is pretty intense!
this was fricking brutal
I feel so bad for the guy. I would’ve kissed him. Nice looking guy.
this is so good ❤️
did anyone noticed beautiful golden hour damn
I literally just made a short last week that feels like a spirtual sibling to this one I just want our boys to find love 😭😭😭
I could relate in this video
He almost kissed me. But I still can't tell him I didn't like it amd that this is the reason I don't want to meet him again. I don't want to hurt him, but I don't love him.
Dude this was amazing!
I guess this is what intimate platonic relationships feel like, and I'm guessing the girl is in the aromantic spectrum. It's beautiful ❤
great short film Ben
Yeaahhhh
And it was me who falled first....
And he left
Like forever....
😔😔😔😔😔
But yup
No regrets
Kalyani Waghmare strong girl 💪
Saurabh Tiwari ❤❤✋
Saurabh Tiwari i can feel it too....
😔😔😔😔
Anyway god bless u
Kalyani Waghmare wow i wouldn't be abel to stand it. I had a freind she was my gf and um she was diagnosed with leukemia, so she broke up with me cause her mom told her and then we were just freinds and later on she got relly sick and i would always visit her, she was the best she was my best freind and one day her mom called me and um.. she told me she had just died..i wish i could have told her how much i appreciated her friendship and how she made me feel special and that i actually matter in life. Till this day i cry every time i look over pics of her and i.. its just something i cant erase from my mind. Its been well over a year since her death. And you your a strong girl tbh👊💪
they are so cute together though
0:56 my first thought "Way to go Richard" XD
WHAT WHAT WHAT!!!! THATS IT....
Brutal. Good job man.
My friend barraged me but I love her too much to leave her x
We were friends, now are lovers 😌
Who hurt you who hurt you who hurt you...
