I see a lot of comments describing her friend's behaviour as "selfish" or "stupid", which surprises me. I, on the contrary, find this scene a very deep representation of his feelings. He didn't destroy her paintings out of selfishness, he did that because they didn't matter without her. She literally put her life into these creations, she risked it all just to make them sell - and for what purpose, if she's not there anymore, to receive all that attention? The whole chain of events made her paintings valuable for just one reason: her death. People found them interesting only because of "a story" that was connected to them. People didn't care about Brit's work, nor did they care her as a person. They were just attracted by a dark secret, by some provocational artist's story. So, in the end, her work never found any _real_ recognition or evaluation, only some hype from the media. And that made her death pointless. If an artist's work is only valuable because of their tragic fate - it basically has no value. At least that's how I see her friend's feelings. He probably experienced some realisation close to what I've described, and that made him desperate, breaking him emotionally. He lost a person he cared about, and the paintings left from Brit had no meaning, no value without her. What's the point of those bids, of that recognition, if the artist never gets a chance to experience all of that themselves? All these paintings looked like a cruel mockery to him. This world didn't need Brit's "shapes and colours" - it needed Brit. But it was too late. That's the tragedy - and her friend is the one that feels it's whole depth. But the fact that he spares her greatest work, deciding neither to sell nor to break it, shows that he really cares about her. He sees Brit in this picture - both literally and figuratively. It is her confession, the last expression of her feelings, her state, her struggle. It is the only real "story" of her. But he won't sell it to the woman that would have been able to coldly analyse it. Because the only ones to fully understand and value the painting and the "story" are Brit's friends. Not sure if I managed to properly explain my thoughts, but that's just how I see it. The friend's emotional outbreak feels very genuine to me, I don't question his actions. All the destroyed paintings, except for the last remaining one, had no actual meaning now, when their creator, the real girl, was dead. Thank you so much for this masterpiece. And for all of you experiencing something similar to Brit's conflict, please remember: YOU are the greatest value of all your work. Even if no one else is able to appreciate it, your own will to create makes your creations worth the world. Your living soul is your most beautiful painting. Don't destroy it ❤
One of the challenges in writing a short story or filming one is conveying everything the artist wants to portray. Not an easy task. This short film captured all the five senses. Brilliant ❤
I'm alarmed how much I understood Brit's position, and I'm a writer. I was profoundly moved by the conclusion, but also the portion when the art curator broke down how she is looking for a story, and I saw the despair in Brit's eyes.
The cinematography is gorgeous and not going to lie, I think about this so much as an artist, especially when people use that over used joke "you know you need to die first, before you become famous" artist don't want to be famous, we just want support. I am glad to see this concept in a short film. It was so beautifully done!
I often look at Monet, his life and his work. Why was he so successful during his lifetime where others struggle to get recognition? I think the answer is that he so appreciated his work, he was not his own best "critic" and his appreciation was infectious, it drew people with like appreciation to his work. It is about projecting that energy.
Although I dont paint, I consider my self as an artist, through the creations I've brought into this world. Weather it be furniture pieces, lighting works, or metal sculptured fire pits. My direction changes as often as my thoughts and learning level. One day my name might be known, but I'll be long gone. I hope to create until old age takes me, but every day is hard to not look for that easy accidental exit. Stay here and strengthen from every hurdle. Peace.
Don’t rely on people for anything, and you’ll be happy and surprised when they do come thru for you. 😱 I’m an artist & the biggest reason ppl are NOT supportive is bc of jealousy. 🧐🤨😝🤨 Especially family. Create art, music, a nice garden or whatever is your passion bc u love doing it. If others don’t get it, oh well, too bad for them. 🌸❤️🌼❤️🌸
"I see colours and shapes". She was right first time. Having the vocabulary to analyse a painting does not an artist make. Understanding how to produce one, does.
Okay, I NEVER post on YouToob because that's just a bunch of self-indulgent crap but "wouldn't be seen dead in that" is hilarious and holy smoke this is really.... this is a lovely little film I'm sorry. Strike the 'little'*. This is lovely film. For whatever it is worth, I think you should all be very proud for having crafted this lovely film. I am 65 years old and my knees hurt and I am worn down and I think you should all be very proud for having crafted this lovely film.
I'm thrilled! Such a storm of emotions is experienced by the main character, personified in the ocean on which she worked. This is the essence of her feelings.🖤
A depressing commentary on how insane our culture is, but equally insane is the mind's desire for acceptance, fame etc.. Like Jim Carey says "he wishes everyone could be rich and famous, so they would know it's not the answer".
Being poor and struggling to pay the rent is not the answer. Maybe if there were a balance. People who have money to live on have no idea what it's like to struggle with problems.
As an artist myself I don't think being famous is the object of desire for all artists, but when you're passionate about something you do and all the emotion you put into it you just really want people to connect with what it is you're putting into it for a sense of accomplishment or achievement, the sense of what you put into it isn't waisted. I can't speak for all artists, but I for one never saw fame as being as magical as a lot of people do. To me it's more of a tragedy of circumstance, trading one set of complications for another. People who are famous have next to no personal space nor privacy and are under far more scrutiny from all aspects of life, almost a controlling factor to all they do. I once wrote " I'd rather remain nameless than to be famous, aimlessly chasing something that keeps changing, rearranging my thoughts till they're no longer engaging" As an artist wanting to share what you love to do and have others enjoy it is far more fulfilling than to be known for it to me. If it could help you financially that would be great but not the main objective to all. Take care
Either a failed person or Rich person parrot this false alarm that striving to be rich & popular is meaningless. What poverty means is an alien concept to those born with a silver spoon in their mouth. @@bonniekathleen6231
😥 my most favourite painting had stolen from a school art exhibition. I had cried for many days. Here not painting but Artist herself is missing. Tears in my eyes. She created a masterpiece painting with truthful story.
As artists, i believe if we simply create for the love of creating, that is our payment. That is the "conclusion" i've come to. No need to make it life or death. It's nice if a few people appreciate it, and they usually do when they feel the love in it.
That means that it is not done as a bread winning job, at least not the main one. Nothing wrong with that, people pursue all sorts of passions outside of breadwinning. But if the distinction isn't clear from the start, there is a high probability of tragedy. Even if one makes it big in a field of few rock stars, it wouldn't necessarily be in a manner that honours what one finds gratifying about the work. I think that many fields of endeavour are like that, not just art.
An artist puts their heart and soul to canvas. It is an expression of what they feel, who they are. An extension of themselves. They hope to move or challenge the observer; convey a story or idea. It’s a story of their inner struggle.
What a good story. I had a roller coaster of emotions while watching this. It's like we can feel what it's like to go through something so. difficult in life by the main character himself. The cinematographic and the music also made me amazed how there are still much more great film producer today.
What an amazing short! Incredible future for writer/director! I'm not an artist but as a musician & for other reasons, this story, her family struggles, self doubt, depression really hit me in the gut, heart & soul. The fantastic cinematography & music, and his look at the end, wow.
This guy's reaction made me so angry! He ruined all her work, because of selfishness -loosing her, and not understanding this was not about him. Even in her death all her hard work and her life was destroyed by him. It was a great short film though. So much energy despair and searching for herself in this world which seemed to be so comfortable and passive to the others. Only her mother was supporting her.
He is not selfish i think you missed the point. He destroyed it bc no painting is worth her. No painting should be more valuable than her life. The point is why do artists have to die in order to become valuable? Why cant they live off of their work while they’re still alive?
Depressing. Can you imagine her poor Mother? How could she possibly recover after this? She wouldn't even have all her artwork after he selfishly destroyed her lifes work. Terrible
Wooouuu.. A ray of emotions and a life wasted? Or maybe not wasted? Something to reflect very deep and to discuss.. In the end she was not in a gallery,only in people's heart.. Especially her closes friends,which have to deal with a secret behind doors for the rest of their lives and feeling guilty maybe too.. Was they able to bring awareness about suicide ? Because I felt from the beginning when she visited her mom,that was her goal.." To be with her mom ".. Especially when she mentioned Van Gogh tragic life..! 😔😔😔
A beautifully conveyed story, it captures so much emotion and struggle. The music and atmospheric sounds with the lightning and ambiance of the scenes really sets the mood for the emotions being portrayed. Wonderfully done. Keep creating what inspires you and take care.
Such a bizarre concoction of extreme emotions leaves me incredulous. The trio of friends are comic in an alarming way. There is a lot more to Van Gogh than his cutting off his ear, and yet that is what is remembered by so many. However, although "struggle" is necessary, it is only the outcome that may be important. Suicide is a shock tactic for attention, it is not about an artistic ability.finding a way to express itself brilliantly.
@@cajsheen2594 , obviously, you have never been in such emotional pain that suicide is an option . People that succeed have been able to finally find a way to escape. It’s not selfish and people who are depressed need our compassion. I’m sure there are many people around you who are addicted to something (work, internet, gaming, food, sex, gambling, etc, etc), but they are able to hide it because society doesn’t approve. The US may be the richest country in the world money-wise, but it is one of the most emotionally deprived! This storyline is only the tip of the iceberg. Listen to Dr Gabor Maté about why addiction (and suicide) are not a choice.
@@denise2169 You have no idea, do you? Please, don't preach, to me or anybody, when you have no knowledge of their background! You do me an injustice and yourself a disservice!
It's better as a short or a movie. A series...I don't really see the tension supporting it over time as a series. That's why it's so dramatic as a short.
COLOR HER DECEITFUL The Deepest Blue is the Deepest Depression and Deepest Deceit. [12:35] An amateur oil painting of overcast black clouds, turbulent black ocean waves, brown eroded beach at point of a riptide, and windswept brown-grey dune grass. The colors, shapes, medium and technique of the painting tell the story of a painter who felt like a failure with nothing to live for. As a last resort, she concocted a hoax that matched her personality of self-deception.
Painting is for generations to see and feel mesmerized by the artist's unfathomable skills. The painting shown around 5:30 is not real artistry. A painting is of no use if masses don't connect with it. So stupid but definitely the film is nicely directed and acted.
You know what when I was working at a nursing home I talk to a janitor about my art he loved it, and I told him about this artist I love, his art was unbelievably good he made a lot of money but he was depressed and drank himself to death he said all artist are depressed he said it's goung to happen to me the depression I mean and you know he was right people love my art and I'm on my way but I suffer from real bad depression but I'm getting some help I don't want to end up dead and not enjoy what I do. But I wonder why artist are depressed when they create such beauty.😮
Outstanding. Very well done and definitely got my full attention for the short duration of the piece. I very much enjoyed the camera work, excellent acting and lighting of the scenes. Very impressive.
Poets and artists . . . what can they do . . . but live in the shadows . . . struggle behind closed doors . . . until they drown or self-immolate . . . so death do them part . . . then if an impartial sun shines down on them . . . perhaps some fame will brighten the world . . . finally embrace their unique work and passionate heart . . .
08:19 Why didn't they at least wait for her to come back up to the beach. She could have gone elsewhere after that. And what's it about destroying all her work? it wasn't necessary at all, even if he was grieving.
She should've live for the sake of living in the joy of creating art. And apart from anything she herself was the beautiful art piece. There was a room for improvement in storyline. 🙏
She should've live for the sake of living in the joy of creating art." I love that you expressed this, so positive and an interesting viewpoint, thanks found it very refreshing.
That is such B.S. in the art world, who are you trying to reach, the art dealers or the patrons. I think it is the ones who appreciate the art for what it is. Hard work. gut retching belief and a deeper understanding of one's very soul.
Great film. Great, powerful music. Where can I get my hands on the score? The credits say the composer is Benjamin Squires but no hits from his collection.
Great short. I like how you introduce the watchers to the film with spellbinding images and music. Then how we step-by-step are pulled into the main character's shoes. Planting plot-devices, introducing secondary characters, slowly building for dramatic punch and then ending the film with a good twist or two. It's the craftmanship of this film that impressed me the most but also the Ireland-wibe. It's something about Ireland (Was the film shot in Ireland or England?) on film that many times presents *good magic*: The Landscape, The People, The Music. I was really impressed with the acting in this film. How all actors involved really were convincing from my point of view, they had a *charm* to them. The Ireland wibe, I think you nailed the characters that made me think of "Trainspotting" in a way. Good charm, good drama, good visuals and music. And the message was spot on! Good work! If you feel like it check out my computer animated short "Alien Forever" about a lone woman confronting an international war scenario in the future and learning odd things on the way. th-cam.com/video/9p9wMVGhBKE/w-d-xo.html

Norfolk ! and Anteros ! Interesting subject and so true .
Wonderful little movie. So creative!
Not perfect - but perfect enough. Very inventive, creative and fresh - bravo!
Outstanding. Very well done and definitely got my full attention for the short duration of the piece. I very much enjoyed the camera work, excellent acting and lighting of the scenes. Very impressive.
Wow what a great short movie.
Brilliant, touching, poignant! Grazie from Rome!
Poets and artists . . . what can they do . . . but live in the shadows . . . struggle behind closed doors . . . until they drown or self-immolate . . . so death do them part . . . then if an impartial sun shines down on them . . . perhaps some fame will brighten the world . . . finally embrace their unique work and passionate heart . . .
Its tooo sentimental it gently touch our heart so emotional felt her pain its too amazing
why we value the person, emotions, and Their work when one departs? The films invokes these questions
Wow, so powerful!
Wonderful. Brilliant.
Thank you
08:19 Why didn't they at least wait for her to come back up to the beach. She could have gone elsewhere after that. And what's it about destroying all her work? it wasn't necessary at all, even if he was grieving.
Society mind opening!!! Brilliant short film!!!
This was excellent! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I could think of three or four alternate endings to this, but the one used was good. It wrapped up the story nicely.
I'm interviewing to know what ending would you put
Amazing perfectionist

Hauntingly,poignant, piece of work.
Very poignant & touching.
She should've live for the sake of living in the joy of creating art. And apart from anything she herself was the beautiful art piece. There was a room for improvement in storyline. 🙏

I love that you expressed this, so positive and an interesting viewpoint, thanks found it very refreshing.
Artiest needed appreciation
We should
End is goosebumps
That is such B.S. in the art world, who are you trying to reach, the art dealers or the patrons. I think it is the ones who appreciate the art for what it is. Hard work. gut retching belief and a deeper understanding of one's very soul.
Really great… short words but really expressed many things 💙🙏🥷🏻
Damnnnnnn . Deep.
I confess, when I saw the guy kicking holes in the paintings I said, not loud but deep, "You asshole!
Beautiful but sad and depressing too.
This was brilliant.....TFS

@@DrDavelope thanks so much! I could potentially put it up on spotify/apple etc?
@@BenjaminSquiresMusic That would be amazing!
this was really good
Great short.
I like how you introduce the watchers to the film with spellbinding images and music. Then how we step-by-step are pulled into the main character's shoes. Planting plot-devices, introducing secondary characters, slowly building for dramatic punch and then ending the film with a good twist or two.
It's the craftmanship of this film that impressed me the most but also the Ireland-wibe.
It's something about Ireland (Was the film shot in Ireland or England?) on film that many times presents *good magic*: The Landscape, The People, The Music.
I was really impressed with the acting in this film. How all actors involved really were convincing from my point of view, they had a *charm* to them. The Ireland wibe, I think you nailed the characters that made me think of "Trainspotting" in a way.
Good charm, good drama, good visuals and music.
And the message was spot on!
Good work!
If you feel like it check out my computer animated short "Alien Forever" about a lone woman confronting an international war scenario in the future and learning odd things on the way.
