I know that guy well. I have a Lucy, too. My Lucy's not a dog, though, but a cat, and her name's Nu. She had a brother who ran away a few weeks ago after I had to move house and died under a storm water drain that collapsed on him before I was able to find him. The worst months are those when I run out of cat food. That actor must've known that guy really well, too. The way he portrayed him reduced me to a glistening, soggy pile of rags, blanket and mucus. I'm sure there are a lot of people like that. The way we are makes it hard to find one another. This is an important little film. It's like a beacon of light in a way. I'm so grateful to have seen it. Thanks again, OMELETO.
I would have given up if it wasn’t because of my dog, long long time ago ….. I feel his pain in my bones. We don’t deserve dogs. Yet they save us every day.
Heartbreaking. It is so easy to judge another without context and full understanding, but this helps remind us to remember that everyone has their own struggles and backstory, and depression is very real. Well done.
Was he acting? He painted a real person in my mind and I can't help but believe he is the real depressed man as he forced me cry with him! Unbelievable talent! BRAVO!!!
Powerful short... Been there, rather recently even. Stuck in a downward spiral, failing relationship, lack of friends, risk of losing the roof over my head and a job that ate me alive. Then I met someone who opened my eyes. I didn't realize the path I was on until that someone got me to wake up. So obviously this short film hit really different and it's played pretty darn well.
When you have suicidal thoughts, attempted to do it for the past few years and accidentally watch a movie about it. It makes you feel you're not alone. James is a brilliant actor.
Stirring. It moved me. Looking back at 87 years I am ashamed that I could not have been more passionate in my relationships. (With those I have encountered.)Too late now. I am married 57 years and still discovering my failures and triumphs. Life goes on....
In a professional setting like that, that would be out of line. He could perhaps ask if he would like a hug, but even that might cross a professional boundary. You certainly don't just go up and touch them without consent, nor should anyone in any setting or situation. Not everyone is comfortable being hugged or touched, and this guy has clearly had some trauma. Pouring him a glass of water was the correct response.
@abraxasjinx5207 yes. The therapist then redirects the topic back to this man's anchor - he asks about the dog. You see this helps the main character ground himself and regulate some of the intense emotions he's going through.
THIS WAS SO BEAUTIFUL. Powerful. I'm literally crying tears right now typing this. I really felt his suffering . I too was rejected from owning a dog in many rental accommodation my current retal objected against. But as ive ben paying rent 12 years and i keep quiet to myself I decided to break the rules as I don't want to be alone anymore. I took the risk.. Thankfully I have my dog now almost 5 years ! . Hes small and I use a big bag to hide him in when I leave and come back inside. Only once my neighbour told me im not allowed. But i told her im only minding him for a friend. My dog is my world. My dog saved me from taking my life thro depression. My dog is now lying beside now. Wow what a powerful movie this was. It meant so much to me. Almost like a sign. It was made for me. Thank you so much to the producer's who made this. This film is like a message to me. This film reminded me how life is precious and not to be afraid to seek help . There are some people out there who are compassionate. One day when i find i home of my own my dream is to adopt many dogs. I certainly do not want kids. There is enough humans !
I think we are spiritually related. I have 5 fur babies (all cats). My 6th fur baby (a Shih Tzu), departed from this physical realm a couple of months ago and his absence still haunts me. Before him, I had another Shih Tzu, who was abandoned. He was my saving grace. We faced homelessness together. I've been homeless before, but being homeless with someone you love is a slow and powerful blow to the chest. I too never wanted human kids, you are right, too many humans. I wish you and your little fur baby all the love and happiness existence has to offer!!!
@@thetruthhurts599 what a lovely reply 🤩😍 condolences for loss of Shih Tzu 😥 I'm sure Shih was very fortunate to have a loving career. Of course I love humans & kids but I find thw whole tradition of marriage and the need to have kids so overrated. All my family & friends had told me many times I'd make a great father. Yes I do to pet animals make a great father. I once had 34 guineapigs 4 rabbits 6 hamsters. The love I get from pets is greater than what I'd get off humans. Unfortunately most humans are raised into the belief of material things = love. My siblings kids turned out like this. They feel unloved if they don't get the new shoes , phones e scooters. What a headache 😫 People like us deserve comfortable homes too for our pet children. Equally as the human who want to populate more humans. I wish you well and please send my kisses to your 5 furies xxxxx
@@bsfbestshortfilmsonyoutube yes, I'm wishing you a small homestead in the beautiful countryside for you and your baby. You can have a sanctuary for homeless and neglected animals. I can't bare to see animals hurt and abused. You're right, most humans only care about materialistic pettiness. Especially in this social media toxic culture. All I want is a good home, good health and peace of mind for me and my love ones!!! I pray that this world will change its course.
@@bsfbestshortfilmsonyoutube and my little boy's name is Jeremy, he is a Shih Tzu. I will not say "was" because he's still here with me spiritually. I still have his harnesses, sweaters and toys. I refuse to let go of it.
@@7yep4336dfgvvh True. Feeling lonely is a result of focusing on the "external" non-self a/k/a the society of other persons, while feeling alone is a result of focusing on the "internal" self. Being alone can be therapeutic, while feeling lonely can be pathological, even addictive as you mentioned.
Just seeing this for the first time today and it tore my heart out. Unreal level of acting. I can hardly even bring myself to believe it's an act. James you are an amazing actor.
I felt like helping him and the dog immediately. He is kind and not selfish. And the dog is so cute, with sad eyes. The dog was abandoned just like the man had been once probably.
This has got to be my favorite shorts so far. I believe that this was probably the first time in a long time that he allowed himself to cry. Reality set in while he answers the questions . He thinks his emotions are an issue for the doc because his tears are a problem for himself
I'm quiet for a moment... Tears in my eyes. I've been there once... Often it takes a shock and a new friend to mirror your situation. So recognizable and so grateful that my life is now so much different and surrounded by the warmth of loved ones.❤ Respect for the team and the actors. A masterpiece Possibly the best I've seen here. Thank you 🙏
Yes Matthew Fahey, the ACTOR is amazing. I felt everything he meant to depict. His loneliness, his sadness his existential anguish. His eyes are so expressive. And to think that there are so many people in situations like this and the numbers are growing...
This is a hard watch, I felt like jumping in and helping this guy and his new friend the dog. Similar situation to mine, so called friends and family were not there when I needed them. Great work thank you.
I love that this short film shines a light on the unseen. It shows the people in this world going about their day to pick up after the rest of society with no praise, simply forgotten, and the toll that it takes. Brilliantly written, directed and impeccable acting (full disclosure James is my brother...but I also would say it was amazing even if he wasn't :) Congrats to all involved, you all deserve all of the praise and then some!! I hope that entire world gets to see this!
I watch allot of these short films. There are allot of good ones out there. I share the very best ones (in my opinion) with my family. This one is sad yet outstanding. The acting was incredible. The story was very thoughtful and well executed. The ending was so unpredictable and beautifully done with the black out ending with the dogs name. One of the best!
Your brother did brilliantly 💜I'm going to go over and subscribe to his channel. I'm good to know that he actually has good family that cares in real life because all I wanted to do was give him a hug LOL ️❤
Coz the entire world can relate to a modest suffering of a privileged society? Give me a break. You clearly don't know what suffering really looks like
This video is very powerfully touching. The man reminds me of myself. Questions like that are difficult to answer or even admit to a stranger or friend. "I don't have any friends or family". 😢
Dogs are like ghosts, only visible. They appear when we most need them to assure us that life could be worse. One opportunity and 🐕 that animal would make us appreciate even the most mundane.
I enjoyed this short. I wish it was a little longer. I understand how he feels. If it wasn't for my children, I would live a life just like this. I know what it's like to live with mental illness. And to have a realization that you're really not ok.
This is veryy emotional and beautiful at the same time...you can see that both man & dog felt neglected, empty & wanted ! Thank God they found each other...😘😘
I feel for you 🤗🐶 Depression shrinks your world so much & without a furry bud to open it back up again even a bit, I can’t imagine how you’re coping. Hope you’re doing ok
@@allisonjames2923 aw thanks Alison, your so right about depression making your world smaller, i will rescue a new wee fur buddy soon and we can rescue each other by doing so. i will be fine thankyou :)
I hope you are going to be okay. There are hundreds of unwanted dogs waiting to pull you out of this. You are not alone, my dog is everything to me. Please be well.
From start to finish that is expert level acting. It is rare to see a performance of this calibur... This guy deserves some serious screen time and a salute. I couldn't hold back the tears. A talented actor can take a low budget film and make it great. Where as, it doesn't matter how much you spend or how good a story is, if the acting performances suck, so will the film. I really hope this guy lands some big roles, he deserves it.
100% agree I felt those tears ,when he shouted the dog awaymit hurt,but I knew she would come back,I lost my BFF ,and miss her too much, depression,is overlooked by far too many.
1. I love this short. Thank you for it ❤️ 2. Seeing James' place, I thought to myself, who lives like that? And then I thought, I did. And then I teared up. 3. I never saw a 'movie shrink' that acts like that. They're usually more... detached. His reaction to James' crying is a breath of fresh air.
The therapist-dude is more believable, with his primary purpose being simply to help the guy get through the system, accomplish the task to get dog approved; can imagine he finds fulfillment in moments he gets to practically help someone who is suffering, without an in-depth long term relationship. Nicely written character- just a dude tryna help people, without being bogged down in theory or psycho mumbo-jumbo.
I wonder what it would take to make more people discover that movies and acting such as this one deserves so much more than $250 million budget movies.
Remember that after your old friend passes, there will be a frightened, hungry young one who desperately needs your help. When the time is right, go out and find the next animal who needs your help and love.
Love when a short film pulls me in. There’s so much in this film that I relate to so it got a bit hard to watch at the end. It was so beautifully executed all around. Fantastic work by the cast, crew and director.
This was a very moving and powerful short film. The acting was absolutely outstanding. The acting was overflowing with authenticity. I believed the pain and suffering of the main character. I felt that this short film dealt more with other issues than just loneliness. The dog was a blessing to the man because it caused him to connect with a therapist who will help him. I was touched and wanted to give the man a hug and see how I could help him. The dog was beautiful and in need of help also. We truly need one another to help us deal with our emotional and financial challenges. I did appreciate how the man attempted to help others in spite of his excruciating pain. It was very difficult for him to answer the questions about his family.
I lost my dog Lucey 2 1/2 years ago and life hasn’t been the same since. My Lucey saved my life once when I was in a very dark place and I wish I could hug her one more time.
I watched this when it first came out , at the time I was mentally struggling and felt I was broken by the end of the video I was crying so hard and I felt a warmth in my heart , it's been 5 months since and I feel like I have my personality back , thank you God
Heart wrenching. Truly one of the very best short films I've ever seen (and I've seen about a thousand of them). Loneliness, isolation and marginalization seem to be an American institution. You don't need to "tough it out". There are people who want to hear your story, who want to help. Let this film be an inspiration to seek them out when you need them, or to make yourself available to be one when you don't.
OMG. That end performance was so intense, so believable, I broke into tears myself. It's like that actor, James Aaron Oliver I think his name is, actually felt everything the character did. It was amazing! What a performance! Truly, he should be on the big screen and winning awards (although I hate Hollywood -- they don't make good films anymore). Oh,... and I could never EVER bypass an animal in need anymore than that character could. Never have. Never will.
I just had to say WOW!!! this guy is absolutely a phenomenal actor!! I was crying at the end. And its so true sometimes we think we are saving them but they are really saving us!!!!!! Great short Omeleto!!!
I definitely believe in the power of animals. They really can bring joy to your life. I have always said a house is not a home without at least 1 dog or a cat.
This is hands down, by far the best short film I’ve ever seen. Incredibly powerful performance and fantastic filmmaking.
We don't know we need them until they come into our lives. Very well done.
This is one of the best shorts.
Incredible acting. I am crying
Dogs can do amazing positive things to one's mental health.
The dog saved his life just by leading him to the path of better mental health. 🐕💕
This guys deserves an Oscar for that final scene. What a beautiful film. ❤
hell of a good actor!
Thank you for watching and for the kind words.
Agree 👍
The Oscar's have become a freak show for poor acting
@@norman7527 Agreed, maybe the guy and dog should get an "Omeleto"

I'm so grateful to have seen it. Thanks again, OMELETO.
I can understand very well your pain......
His reaction at the end was as much due to the unexpected kindness of the Dr as it was to his internal pain.
I would have given up if it wasn’t because of my dog, long long time ago ….. I feel his pain in my bones. We don’t deserve dogs. Yet they save us every day.
Just recently found this series of films on TH-cam - poignant, real, sorrowful... SO well done.
Heartbreaking. It is so easy to judge another without context and full understanding, but this helps remind us to remember that everyone has their own struggles and backstory, and depression is very real. Well done.
ESP after the world shut down during Covid . Very touching
Absolutely. And always good to shed a tear instead of killing u inside
You are never alone when you have a dog
Was he acting?
He painted a real person in my mind and I can't help but believe he is the real depressed man as he forced me cry with him!
Unbelievable talent! BRAVO!!!
His acting was too good not to be based on a real situation.
I felt like I WAS him ❤️

I felt that this short film dealt more with other issues than just loneliness. The dog was a blessing to the man because it caused him to connect with a therapist who will help him. I was touched and wanted to give the man a hug and see how I could help him. The dog was beautiful and in need of help also. We truly need one another to help us deal with our emotional and financial challenges. I did appreciate how the man attempted to help others in spite of his excruciating pain. It was very difficult for him to answer the questions about his family.

I have a dog named Lucy and if it weren't for her I could be this guy.
I lost my dog Lucey 2 1/2 years ago and life hasn’t been the same since. My Lucey saved my life once when I was in a very dark place and I wish I could hug her one more time.
Very fine acting by that gentleman. Well done.
And now I'm crying...such a beautiful story. If only we let dogs rule the world....they'd save everyone
Ahht ahhht we gave u ur chance already
😢😢😢😞 animals can help heal a wounded and broken heart!!
Thank God for the Lucy(s) out there! ❤
This is absolutely beautiful.
I watched this when it first came out , at the time I was mentally struggling and felt I was broken by the end of the video I was crying so hard and I felt a warmth in my heart , it's been 5 months since and I feel like I have my personality back , thank you God
Heartbreaking and exquisite film.
Heart wrenching. Truly one of the very best short films I've ever seen (and I've seen about a thousand of them). Loneliness, isolation and marginalization seem to be an American institution. You don't need to "tough it out". There are people who want to hear your story, who want to help. Let this film be an inspiration to seek them out when you need them, or to make yourself available to be one when you don't.
Yeah it's just an American thing, of course.
Great movie! Gripping and with great acting... I'm that guy...Liked your comment. Maybe I should seek them out!
True, it only happen in the US. Here in the uk this seems alien to me
@rghyffrgg syvht Probably because you can't relate. This story is my whole life. It's happening everywhere in the UK and I am one of them.
As soon as he started crying so did I. Wow, the acting in this was award winning!
Bless his heart
Very moving and convincing performance by the lead actor. I definitely felt his pain.
I like that the landlord and the therapist weren't one-dimensional.
OMG. That end performance was so intense, so believable, I broke into tears myself. It's like that actor, James Aaron Oliver I think his name is, actually felt everything the character did. It was amazing! What a performance! Truly, he should be on the big screen and winning awards (although I hate Hollywood -- they don't make good films anymore).
Oh,... and I could never EVER bypass an animal in need anymore than that character could. Never have. Never will.
I just had to say WOW!!! this guy is absolutely a phenomenal actor!! I was crying at the end. And its so true sometimes we think we are saving them but they are really saving us!!!!!! Great short Omeleto!!!
Great film.
Yes, dogs can be absolutely terrific for lonely people.
The actor's performance is outstanding
We need more films like LUCY!!!
I definitely believe in the power of animals. They really can bring joy to your life. I have always said a house is not a home without at least 1 dog or a cat.
Excellent work from all involved... pen, performance, and production.
Thank you all for creating this.❤
Wow. So well done. Kudos to everyone involved, the lead and the dog were perfect.
I was torn between who I felt bad for the most, the guy or the dog. 😔
I am blown away. This is some incredible acting. I hope there is more to come from James Aaron Oliver.
