[@lukefletcherfilms]

Thank you so much!!

[@FullFrameStudio]

THIS DESERVES SO MUCH MORE!!!!!!!! destroys my heart that after a year only 10k people have watched it

[@sergregorsigmillius7519]

[@cinnasimon5764]

I wasn’t in a home, but I’m a foster/adoptee and you did very very well at this. This channel deserves more views, you’re a great filmmaker.

[@cinnasimon5764]

And subs, my b

[@lukefletcherfilms]

Thank you so much. That’s means a ton.

[@flotopo]

I came here to see how a film shot on the Black Magic Ursa 4.6K G2 looks like but I just got lost into the story, I completely forgot about the footage and I just wholeheartedly enjoyed this beautiful story! This shows you did an amazing job! Really well done!

[@lukefletcherfilms]

Wow thank you. That really means so much! I promise you won’t be disappointed with the Ursa g2! Especially with how cheap they are on eBay right now!

[@flotopo]

@@lukefletcherfilms , I agree. I can tell that shooting with Ursa G2 is very rewarding. I cannot afford it at the time being though, even with Ebay prices, but one day maybe...

[@onestepcloserproduction]

This is amazing man pulled at the heart strings 😢

[@lukefletcherfilms]

Thanks for watching bro!

[@lukefletcherfilms]

Thanks so much Simon!!

[@ElyJrTheatre]

I randomly clicked on this video just to see footage shot on the URSA and I stayed for the entire 10 minutes with watery eyes. Bravo, just bravo.

[@lukefletcherfilms]

Thank you man!

[@jackara]

Spectacular movie. I love the momentum of the edit and storytelling. Tree of Life is one of my favorite movies and the influence is soooo well done. I just saw this to look at the camera's capabilities but was so engrossed and blown away by the film that I forgot all about the camera. I think if the acting and the script was polished a little bit this could legit be an oscar-winning short film. Great job!!!!

[@lukefletcherfilms]

Thank you!!!!

[@Whyiadda]

Wonderful

This is so humanely touching. It is not easy to shape a human to become a man. Those who supported this is a truly noble, kind hearted man. This film is a masterpiece.

Luke, I am glad I came across this wonderful film. It's well paced, shot and the performances are terrific. You should consider submitting it to Short of The Week, because it's up their alley. Best of luck!
