This is one of the finest short films I've ever seen. I am 66, and I started going to the Chicago international film festival when I was 13! Truly a great film!
If you are talking about content, addiction is prevalent in so many societies. I’m sure there are many Frankies all around the world from different cultures who are watching out for their parents. Even more so during Covid times. Yes it was a brilliant short.
@@ainokea4u No. It's highly unlikely that a kid would do what he did in the first place, but if that did happen I doubt a collector would be so lenient.
love it. Beautiful story. It shows very nicely that things can be changed even when it went wrong in the beginning.it’s Never to late changing something … as Long as someone wants to change.
That was brilliant! Genuinely made me smile😃 that kid’s a great actor & so cute! Lovely story, well told through the writing, directing, lighting, and acting! Loved it!! ❤️
@@CausewayPicturesNI Hey, I started seeing the short films on your channel. My favourite is The Invention and Time and again. Really incredible the work you guys put into making these films. Earned a new subscriber 👍👍👏👏 Keep going!
This film proves there can be brilliance in tiny things too. We are used to feature length films of this character. We have seen this play out in so many movies. Yet this short takes out all the bells and whistles, all the subplots and even in just its skeletal form delivers excellence. I am a big fan of Irish films - old and new. this features holds its place right amongst them. bravo.
So powerful! His son loved him and sorted it out for him without him knowing. He's lucky because he raised a good lad. It pays off without you thinking about it
That was a Royal Flush! Well Acted by Luke Walford who played Frankie. I love the father and son bond relationship. The ending was a nice touch. When it showed a picture of the real Frankie and the film lovingly dedicated to his Dad. 💖🎬
Oh, this was great fun and a very engaging, warm story with top-notch direction. The cast was great, but a special mention to Luke Walford who absolutely nailed it. Such a truthful mature performance.
This channel never misses....the dialog between Charlie and Frankie was IMMACULATE!!! This is probably THE BEST SHORT IVE SEEN IN MY LIFE!! Kudos to the crew and staff!!!
This video, if not my absolute favorite from Omeleto, is definitely in my top 3 favorites! The acting was perfect! The boy who played Frankie was perfect for the role. Absolutely adorable!
When I was 15, I wanted to buy cigarettes and had no "dealer" if to say. I went to a chinese convenience store. Came to the counter with a 6-pack and asked for cigs. Lady asked me : "Are you 18?" "Yes I am" "Alright"
So why aren’t we seeing this in cinemas instead of remakes and redos which create boredom and only exist to suck money out of your pocket. This is incredible
Hi @Causeway Pictures Ltd! I'm the deaf person you answered before a few minutes ago. The Thread was deleted by anyone? I wanted to say I enjoyed the short very much. I L ❤️ VE Irish movies pretty much btw. Kudos 👌 from Lucy with L 💋 VE
Brilliant job. You should send this for Oscars best short film. I thought it was gonna be a typical Irish film but you proved me wrong. This one is special.
That kid who played Frankie, God, doesn’t he look like Michael McIntyre!?!?!? I had Google him to make sure he wasn’t M.M.’s son, but, gee, he could be! A dead ringer for the comedian! A good little actor in the making too! Loved the plot and the whole show! “Charlie” has been in many series and a few movies too! He usually plays the weasly errand boy, but he was great in this part as the “heavy”! Great little film!❤️😊
This is in my top five best short movies I ever saw. Fantastic in its simplicity, but with so many layers, all working in unison to deliver a pure little diamond. 10/10
This short film reminds me of a great saying; A homeless man and successful business man we’re both asked the same question, “how did you get where you are now” The homeless man replied “because my dad was an alcoholic…” The successful business replied “…because my dad was an alcoholic” The last line of the boy saying how he doesn’t play poker ‘anymore’ after only one experience of it, knowing what it brought his dad, is the embodiment of this saying. Great short film!
OMG, had me wanting to Cry a River! That Little Man IS A BAD EMEFFER!!!! He Sure Loves his Dad! If Luke Walford can ACT that Great at his Age! I can only Imagine the Star her will Become. GREAT JOB TO ALL INVOLVED.
The acting in these is so immaculate. It's so cool to see such young kids getting a start in their careers.
Wish my parents let me become one
natural talents....actors and director.....💖
@@apostolia2124 Thank you.
@@acocainedealer2113 Awwww why? D:
@Dáithí Mullins Lol same
The ending hit hard. "For my dad." I lost my dad recently and still not over it.
I'm sorry to hear that. I lost my dad in 96. Still difficult today....
@@whoathatsanicememe3093 It gets easier but it never gets easy. Thank you and my condolences as well.
SWEETEST OF HUGS TO YOU !❤️🙏
@@jennifergannuscio6086 Thank you, Jennifer.

Thank you so much.
Wow congrats man
So what`s your favourite of all time?
@@MrCaipiroshka You also made me think of a French film the red balloon.
@@VPLO1 That was excellent, the old streets of Paris thanks for that recommendation.
Wonderful story... superbly produced, written, directed, filmed, scored and acted! Few folks as heartwarming as the Irish.💖 Thank you!👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you so much.
Wonderfully writen and acted. Just brilliant
A wonderful story is yours and we can't wait to see the ending again♥️

Aww that kid was awesome. He got through to that guy. And softened him up. Was great to see. Love a little heart warming film like this
Do you think that actually happens in real life...just curious
@@ainokea4u No. It's highly unlikely that a kid would do what he did in the first place, but if that did happen I doubt a collector would be so lenient.

We appreciate all your support.
That was all kinds of goodness - awesome acting by "francis" in particular - awesome plot, perfectly crafted - loved every bit of this
What a sweet and cool badass kid 💯😎
Loved everything about this movie.
Thanks
I love these sort of films. I love Grans description about his head blowing off if he listens to devil music.
Thank you for watching - check out our channel.
That was brilliant! Genuinely made me smile😃 that kid’s a great actor & so cute! Lovely story, well told through the writing, directing, lighting, and acting! Loved it!! ❤️
Early to an original. This one was amazing as all. Well done to whoever the creators are.
Thank you.

@@Anush_Sivakumar Thank you so much for your kind words.
Luke Walford, this young man can act. He played in the Omeleto " Safe Haven" had me in tears. I hope great things for his future.

Great to see another Northern Irish short film represented on a great platform like Omeleto!
Thanks.
@@scpstudio1811 im from Belfast and i i disagree with u there
One of the loveliest of Omeleto's films, staring Irish people (loveliest to my heart).
Salaam to you all from Arabia.
Thank you.

omega chad child actor, best child actor I have seen and his smug walk is so badass. 10/10 film
Oh, this was great fun and a very engaging, warm story with top-notch direction. The cast was great, but a special mention to Luke Walford who absolutely nailed it. Such a truthful mature performance.
Thank you.
Dude that first song slaps
One of the best shorts I've ever seen. Wonderful in every respect. Serious respect for all involved.
These shorts deserve a much larger platform. Some of the most important work I’ve seen.
This channel never misses....the dialog between Charlie and Frankie was IMMACULATE!!! This is probably THE BEST SHORT IVE SEEN IN MY LIFE!! Kudos to the crew and staff!!!
The boy who played Frankie has a bright future ahead, a wonderful actor! Well thought out, well produced with excellent acting.......Exceptional!
The kid, reminds me so much of my late little brother when he was that age. Same never give up attitude.
The boy nailed it. May be he has earned the respect by saving his father.
This video, if not my absolute favorite from Omeleto, is definitely in my top 3 favorites! The acting was perfect! The boy who played Frankie was perfect for the role. Absolutely adorable!
Are you 16 he looked about 20 🤣
I love how lighthearted this film was. It's like everybody is the best version of themselves.
I love this! Thank you 👌
I fell in love with the little boy.
Thank you. He's a great actor called Luke Walford.
@@CausewayPicturesNI thank you!
The child actor was so authentic!
When I was 15, I wanted to buy cigarettes and had no "dealer" if to say. I went to a chinese convenience store. Came to the counter with a 6-pack and asked for cigs.
Lady asked me : "Are you 18?"
"Yes I am"
"Alright"
Could have watched a whole movie about this kid, nice and authentic actor
So why aren’t we seeing this in cinemas instead of remakes and redos which create boredom and only exist to suck money out of your pocket. This is incredible
Kid's a natural. Great short all the way around. Omeleto knows how to pick them.
Thanks
Plot twist: We hear a boom when he puts the record player headphones on
That boy is super smart.
Beautiful film and made all the more special that it was a tribute to the writer and producer's Dad who is the real Frankie. Bravo
This has been one of my favorite short films. Its a shame it only has 45,000 views
The boy saved his pops... So deep.
the way they look at each other when Charlie leaves the store made shed a tear.
Hi @Causeway Pictures Ltd! I'm the deaf person you answered before a few minutes ago. The Thread was deleted by anyone? I wanted to say I enjoyed the short very much. I L ❤️ VE Irish movies pretty much btw. Kudos 👌 from Lucy with L 💋 VE
Glad you liked it.
These kids are unbelievable! What a superb performance! Bravo and Salute! Adults can't give this type of performance these days!
Outstanding, really enjoyed it. The story, the characters, right up until Frankie clearly didn’t know where to set a tone arm.
Thank you for watching - check out our channel.
The situation the kid was in was chilling, but the fact it happened in real life made it even worse!
That was such a brilliant film! Luke Walford is a brilliant actor.
Thank you
-Well, that's a crap
+Crap''s a bad word, you know?...huh, bad patenting
Hahaha
You're going places kid. I loved his acting. I'm very sure he'll be in many movies.
What a cute little hustler 💕 I love how he saved his dad's a$$
Brilliant job. You should send this for Oscars best short film. I thought it was gonna be a typical Irish film but you proved me wrong. This one is special.
Thanks
Wow, the dialogue is so beautiful, and Frank is amazing. Imagine how he would be grown up, such a personal charisma. This was one of my favourites.

This ...is Frankie.
Hello!
Brilliant!
This short film reminds me of a great saying;
A homeless man and successful business man we’re both asked the same question, “how did you get where you are now”

Best Omeleto video ever! The kid's an amazing actor. Or else, this script just fit him so well...
Thank you.
one of the best, that kid can act. thanks for a great show
i love the way he walks
Great short! Love that kid's acting ----solid gold story, too
This boy (lad for you folks across the puddle) is amazing! I hope he sticks with acting. My goodness. What talent!
Surprised to see them playing holdem, did not think that was noticed any where aside from Vegas at this time
Loved it....the young boy seems like a mature old man stuck in a small body.
What a great kid.
CLOSE BUT NO CIGAR
That one boy is in another video he’s so talented
I'm telling you know, that boy will do time. lol
Wonderful in every way - acting, sets, dialogue, shots...
Thank you.
Great film 👌...... Could easily be a feature with an extended storyline. Nice work.
By far, one of the best films I’ve seen yet!!!🎉
Thank You Allen for all the hard work! We get the sweet nectar from it as watchers!👍✨🎉💜
anyone else click this bc they recognized the kid from childer?
"thats a lot of bacon"
Frankie kinda looks like a young John Travolta 0:35 lol how many can relate?
Thank God for subtitles I have a hard time understanding their accents
I loved this. one of the best I've seen! Little boy with a great big heart!!
such a talented and SWEET child !! beautifully done no unnecessary things just perfect better than full length movies !! !...
He still owes the lady for the cigarettes. This story made me happy - but also sad, considering what's happening in Ireland right now.
My Dad taught me Blackjack or 21. Split the aces and double down. I miss you Dad, RIP, HOORAH ❤
Or I’ll call the polerce.
Where does this absolutely fabulous guy come from!? He is amazing… superb. 😳👌 brilliant everything…
This film is a little gem.
The kid will be the Don of the whole neighborhood soon.
That’s not an young boy. He’s a man. Not just a boy anymore. 🤍
They should make a netflix series on this, imagine a guy whos goated at poker and wins all the time. That’d be awesome
YES! thats what I am thinking the story is so good
Nah it would be better if a guy sucked ass at poker
This was just amazing! Fully exciting until end and no violence shown. Wonderful message of love.
What a fabulous actor Francis is
what a dope little dude
This was the best video I've seen on this channel. Nothing tops it. Well done!
The kids played very good! Very good film!
Wow each film is getting better whats the first song called btw?
Edit:damn the ending hit hard
amazing and touching story, honest to the core, beautifully played and everything! Im blown away!
much better than many of the big productions imho
Young lad is absolutely legend ✌️
Bravo!!! Great short, so well done end to end; character impressions, setting, writing, acting and directing. Excellent !!!
