BRAVO! BRAVO! Cast and crew, so very well done. Very satisfying to see a happy ending. Would love to have seen the boys kiss at the end, but that's just me.
I so longed for something like this when I was young. I am very appreciative this is here for future youth, adult and elderly. My hat is off to all in this project and a simple but massive thank you. You made an old man feel hope for what will be your future. 💜♥️🙂
I don’t normally take time to comment on short films even when I like them but this concept of love and flowers and how you portrayed it in this film was no other than perfect and I feel I needed to state that great job.
Hi guys. I know this isn't asmr, but this is the short film that I wrote and directed when I first started this channel. Many of you have asked to see it, so I thought I would put it on here. Many of you have been with me on the journey from production, to post and to festival circuits... so I wanted to bring it home to you guys. 🐝 I hope this film touches you in a way that reminds you about love and friendship. Let me know your thoughts 🐝
I loved the visual usage of flowers to show the audience who belonged together. The details in the dialogue enabled me to become invested in the characters and the story. It reminded me of my own experiences as a gay youth. I enjoyed it very much. The only surprise for me was the lack of a kiss with Eddie since that seemed to be an important plot point regarding Madeline.
I somehow stumbled upon this film, and I must say, you've done an incredible job, Mr. Romantic and Sensual! I'm actually running late for an important business meeting because I couldn't tear myself away from your work. I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for your future projects and learning more about you and your creations. Stay blessed... Much love from Pakistan!
Yall why isnt this already at like a million likes??? Whats this blasphemy? But fr, this is probably the most beautiful short film ive ever watched. I love the analogy about flowers, the sun scene where theyre all complimentary flowers. I deadass screamed when the one with the plainted nails was sunflowers cause Josh was daisies. 10/10, love it, will cry to it again many times.
I had every intention of watching this when it was released for members only, but life got in the way. I finally got to watch the whole thing, and I just wanted to say.. I absolutely love it. You should feel so proud of your work, Nick, because I know I am (and everyone else here is) so proud of you for creating this amazing piece of art! Sending you so much love! ❤❤❤
Awwwww...that was super cute, sweet and touching. Very nice job, Nick, by you and your actors. It reminds me a bit of that lovely short "In a Heartbeat." SOOOO nice to see hope, love and friendship depicted for kids, and older people, for that matter. The heart wants what it wants.
I love this so much! Congratulations to all involved in the making of this beautiful film. Definitely saved to my favorites! This was absolutely perfect - the acting, production, everything. Bravo! Also, what a wonderful message 🥰Craig - Australia
So sweet, so delicate and so touching !!! Thanks for this great work, well produced and well interpretated. Everything is almost perfect : scenario, light, music. Wonderful job. I just miss the final kiss but this would have been too much I guess because of all the poetry lead by the flowers allegory
I really enjoyed watching this film. Well made, & directed and acting was good. The actors were really good-looking and believable,, I wished the two guys could have kissed, would have been nice. Thank you for making this film and sharing
Oh boy, I am going to write you a long DM about this one. I feel guilty because I actually watched it a year or so ago when you emailed it to some of us, and I always intended to write to you, letting you know how much I loved it and how much it affected me, but I was overwhelmed with thoughts about it and then time passed and it never happened. But forgive my excuses and look for that long message in the coming days. 😉 So incredibly proud of you, friend, and amazed by the many ways you enrich the world with all that you share!!! ❤🐝🫶 So much love!
I love this, thank you for it! "Fuck off Rob! ... I'm tired of pretending I like you, so, just fuck off..." Seriously, some of my all time favorite dialogue for the whole year!
Such a wonderful portrayal of that time in life in as in adolescence. When I was an adolescent you'd better Not ever ever put your head on anybody's shoulder If you were a boy. I had a girlfriend, and I liked her but I'm not so sure, if I gotten married if I would have been happy. I like the subtlety of this short film in the confusion that we all experience at that point in our lives.
He was 3 years older and straight, i was gay and 12 years old and we had a connection that led to something special but ended when he graduated high school. My most cherished memories ❤
Wow this film is so well done. I was so immersed in the storyline It actually brought tears as i remembered a similar experience. Excellent cinematography and camera work!! Congratulations and thank you for sharing it with us !
Amazing. I watch loads of excellent LGBTQ short films on TH-cam, but this is only the second time Ive said this - this needs to be a full length film or series on Netflix or similar, its that good.
Nick, I really liked your film. I don’t think I ever got to see it completed. I really liked it and especially the party scenes, what a fabulous house. 😂
Awww Nick this was so sweet and heartfelt 😢 It really captured that uncertain and anxious life stage, I can really identify with the main character and the love interest in different stages of my life. I would totally watch this if it were a whole series or a feature length film!
It was so reminiscent of my youth when I knew who I was to become but wasn't ready yet..I had this one friend that I ADORED but we were in a boy's school and jut putting my head on his shoulder would have a sacrilege. I believe, rightly or wrongly, that he felt the same, but we never explored it..and I still reminisce after 45 years. Not that he was the man of my life, but about the sweetness we had but each in unspoken words.
SPOILER ALERT. Josh and Eddie were "matched" in gardening summer camp, and on some level they knew it. They were two, cute, likeable, innocent, virgin lads who were different about their self presentations in society yet the same about their sexual orientations. It was bold of Josh to befriend Eddie, the openly gay lad, and bolder of Josh to invite Eddie to a sleep-over. Josh had two pillows on his single bed, a sign of his expectations. Josh's mother knew that he and Eddie were intimate friends, so she told him they could not sleep in the same bed. Josh overcame his awkwardness and came out to his classmate, Madeline, and then to Eddie under the giant tree. It was the perfect moment for Josh and Eddie to give and receive their first kiss from each other. In an imagined sequel, the mental, emotional, physical and sexual intimacy between Josh and Eddie escalated rapidly after their first kiss to satisfy each other's natural needs and desires and relieve their urges and tension. After giving each other all of their v-cards, Josh and Eddie sort out who will be the feminine partner and who will be the masculine partner in their open, committed, same-sex relationship. Excellent film with the message, be yourself, be friends first, then be lovers. Both of the lead actors were outstanding.
Here’s what my letterboxd review would look like: I’m just a sunflower enby looking for my daisy gf 🥺 so many simple and gorgeous shots. feels warm and bright, slightly hazy like a memory about the summer before sophomore year of high school should
Wowzers! thank you guys for blowing this up! 🥹💐🐝 Feel free to follow my other channel : www.youtube.com/@nickhansell (I have other shorts there!) Also what questions do you have? Looking to do a Q+A in the future 🎬
Hi, can someone give me an answer, there is a girl in my class and she has in snapchat a 🐝 emoji after her name, does it mean something? Sending love and support to you from Sweden! Happy Halloween!
Not bad, interesting. I think it needed a little _something/fluid,_ like a background for Josh and the other gay one. The dark scenes at the beginning were *too dark* -- we needed to see their expressions better. And, 3:14 - 3:40 was just *over-acting for its own sake.* Some corrections and more story and this could be an interesting 90+ minute movie or more.
esos flirteos bobalicones, chico, chica, un espanto... no conducen a nada original, y mucho menos a nada creativo, fuera de lo común, de lo que los otros quieren ver porque es de recibo.

Eng sub please

Excellent in every way…
Until the 16:40 mark. Symbolism turned sledge hammer for an excruciating minute.
Then it was back to excellent 😁
this made my sad little heart very happy. 🤍
