    I appreciate that the crux of the film is that the man in the photo was not important, but breaking out of Bruce's funk, exploring new realms and finding new opportunities was. It's just the little nudge that helps life move forward. How beautiful.

    I have to say Danny, as a young indie filmmaker, this short film has given me so much inspiration and life to keep going. After watching your BTS for this film, I thought to myself, "I can't wait to watch this 10 minute short film", only to come here and see this 24 minute masterpiece. What you were able to create is honestly breathtaking and I wanna thank you for making it. Your work is a tru inspiration and I hope you continue it forever. This film is magical.

    Another great one with a lovely core message of breaking out of the mundane, exploring new opportunities, and treasuring the relationships you have around your circle. The chemistry between the 2 leads was amazing; I was holding off from watching BTS and waited for this to come out-now straight back to BTS. Carlos Cameo at 4:32, you smashed it again, mate; beautiful compositions-you guys together are the real deal! So inspiring! Thanks, Danny, for continuing to push yourself and inspiring so many of us in this journey! Love you, brother.

    Incredible film. Love the humor and the developing of Bruce and his friendship with his coworker. Been having a hard time watching films lately without getting ancy or bored. I was thoroughly engaged throughout this.
    As someone who bought a Canon C200 at 16yrs old when I saw what Danny did with his back in 2020, then got an FX3 when Danny got his, and has been thoroughly inspired by Danny throughout these past 5 years, all I can say is thank you Danny from the bottom of my heart. You have been a huge part of my film journey.

    Watched the previous vids from the making of this short and was looking forward to seeing the final thing. I think it came together really well. Loved the lighting, the color grade (for the most part), the music choices were awesome, blocking, composition, camera moves, and the ending to the story. But there are also a few pieces of feedback I'd like to share as a viewer.
    For starters, the pacing started feeling pretty slow very early on into the film. I remember in one of the "making of" videos you talked about how you were considering cutting some scenes that didn't move the story forward and ultimately decided to keep them in for the sake of comedy. But I feel like there were a few too many of those that didn't quite land and they ended up making me think - "Okay, but when does this continue going somewhere?" and had me checking how long into the film I was wondering if there's enough time for the story to actually unfold.
    Something that ties into that is the fact that, a lot of the dialogue that was meant to be funny quickly started feeling forced... Almost like they were lines in a sitcom but the laugh track was missing. Don't get me wrong, the more emotional and serious conversations felt way better and actually pulled me back in, however at a certain point it started feeling like I'm being hit with punch line after punch line with not enough buildup behind them to make them truly funny. Also, a there were a few times when I just though "No one this age talks like that" or, more accurately, "This feels like someone way older had to come up with what "the quirky youngsters in their 20s" talk like", if that makes sense. Not all of the scenes were like that, of course. A bunch of them actually felt pretty clever and funny, but I thought the balance of comedy and serious story was off. So it was this tug of war between the slower, more emotional and genuine moments, and the rush of jokes one after another.
    I generally really like your color grades for pretty much anything you do, but recently, and especially in this one, I felt like the grain specifically has gotten suuuuper heavy handed. I get that this is very subjective though, but I just thought I'd share that. At points it even felt distracting.
    Also, for a few of the scenes, I wasn't sure if you're intentionally trying to lean into the sound design or if the mix was just off. But on top of that, there were several moments where it seemed like the sound design was supposed to enhance the funny awkward atmosphere, but the shots it was paired with didn't feel like they matched that intention. For example - in the scene where the guys look at "Hot Dog Larry" the sound design is clearly supposed to make him seem weird and make the viewer feel a bit uneasy, but that could have been such a perfect time to use some extreme close ups paired with the gross chewing sounds... We see the medium of him about to take the bite out of the hot dog, then hard cut to an ECU of him chewing it with sauce in his beard. Now he's not only (allegedly) a nudist, but the way he eats is gross, which is even more funny. Same with the water dispenser scene. The gulping noises got a lot louder and would have paired so well with an extreme close up of water dripping from his mouth and his Adams' apple moving as he drinks. But yeah, just a few moments where I think the sound design could have been tied in better with slightly different shot choices.
    And to end this off, I just gotta say, I know it's way easier to pick these things apart from the point of view of an audience member. So I think it's important to say I can still really appreciate all the work that went into this from everyone involved and I think there was a lot that was great about it. But who knows, maybe this can end up being helpful for the next one 😅

      @georgekamenov_ I agree with most of your critiques, but as always personal preference is most important and clearly lots of people in the comments enjoyed the dialogue and story. It is disappointing Danny wasn't willing to take 5 minutes to read your comment, even if he didn't want to respond to each piece of criticism. "Little too much for me to read through, but we all have our differing opinions!" almost feels like pre-defensiveness to me. I love his work, I loved ITIS, but this short imo felt like a swing and a miss and I'm not sure he's going to acknowledge its shortcomings which is unfortunate since that's the best way to grow and improve.

      @@DannyGevirtz Hey Danny, I've been a huge fan of yours for years and have been inspired by your content and films. Unless I'm just misunderstanding the meaning of your reply, I am truly disappointed by your response to this feedback. Of course, you don't ever have to act upon anyone's feedback, but the lack of care and the sanctimonious tone is baffling. You can't even READ his well-thought out reply? It's truly not even that long. For someone who gives filmmaking lessons and ends every video with "I love you guys" I just expected more understanding and care being put into your replies to fans/viewers. Again, I have a lot of respect for your work, but this was really wild to see.

      I think if you surround yourself with people that only say positive things about your work you'll never improve. This was cool, but immensity badly paced which made it very boring to watch. Look at how some great films had complete re-edits and became hits! Cinematography 10/10 though.

    Your shots are so intentional, the way you talked about keeping the audience engaged while making the dialogue scenes impactful and simple. And that last scene, even though it seemed to be the hardest for you guys logistically, visually I think was my favorite. This story was so unique, and fun, yet I feel like everyone can relate to that deeper feeling and that need that Bruce was looking for. Hoping there was something more out there. Thank you for sharing your art with us Danny. So inspired by you and the whole cast and crew

    You clearly have a strong visual style and a great sense of direction-it's evident that you come from a DP background, and it shows in the top-tier visuals and editing in this film. However, one area that could really elevate your work is the writing, especially the dialogue. When crafting dialogue, it’s worth asking: Do people really talk like this? In many parts of this film, the answer feels like “no.” The characters’ lines often come across as overly quippy.
    Real, grounded behavior often speaks louder than words. Slowing down and letting actions and subtle moments carry the weight of the story can strike a better balance between your unique voice and authentic storytelling.
    I've seen other DPs transition into writing/directing recently, and writing tends to be the toughest part. That said, your incredible visual style and editing already set you apart-you have all the tools to create something truly extraordinary once the writing catches up to the visuals. Keep going, because your potential is undeniable.

      @@DannyGevirtz Thanks for sharing that perspective! I totally get that this style reflects your personal voice and the way you communicate with your friends-that authenticity is important and clearly a big part of your creative expression. That said, I think the heavy focus on quipping made the characters feel a bit unrelatable to me. It came across as too "written," almost like the dialogue was trying hard to call attention to itself rather than letting the characters and their actions speak naturally. It’s got that “Netflix comedy” vibe where everyone’s constantly trying to one-up each other with cleverness, and as a result, the authenticity of the characters gets lost.
      Sometimes pulling back and letting subtle, natural behavior drive the humor can make the funny moments land even harder-and it makes the audience feel more connected to the characters. You’ve got a strong style, and I respect that you’re staying true to what you enjoy, but finding that balance could elevate your storytelling even further. Looking forward to seeing what you do next!

    I’m a fan and love the cinematography and creative execution. For future projects maybe try to really push the script within the confines of the budget. This short film has a realism-light vibe to it so it makes a bit hard to believe someone would hunt down a random person in a photo from 20 years ago. I would’ve raised the stakes way up and then toned them down to finally arrive at an inciting incident with higher stakes in the final script. It would also steer you away from the post modern execution of being like: corporate life is so bad, someone would hunt down a random person from a photo just to feel something. How could you invert that? What is something so profound that it would shake their entire worldview? Maybe it’s a letter (with a photo) for a guy with the same name wrongly delivered to him. The core philosophical takeaway is: your perception is your reality. How can you shake the pre-inciting incident reality even more to deliver on that point?

    Looking forward to the scene of Dave leaving the lecture hall as he races towards his house to hide the evidence (since he 100% knew Bruce's dad and there's more to the story here). If only!
    So well done Danny and team. Fun short, really enjoyed all of the detail that went into this as well as the behind the scenes videos you shared with us. Love the look of the shots, very well done.

    I love how everything they fantasized the man in the photo to be was just totally wrong. He was just a normal guy, in fact, the most average and normal guy ever: leasing a prius and being a teacher lol. I loved that the guy in the office that Bruce and Chris shoved off every time he spoke was the one that could have helped them find the man in the photo all along. I loved the editing and the way you used sound effects to enhance different emotions throughout the scenes. The macro shots and montages were so sick as well.

    I was on set the other day. When I bumped into the 1st AC, and I apologize to him. He said to me "Don't apologize I'm in your world." I replied back, and said "No I'm in your world."
    Funny how two worlds can collide, and this film is the perfect interoperation how we are all living in our own world. Some are interesting, and some are just living one day at time. Beautiful film Danny.
