- "This is a story about a very special pen called Max and a very broken young man named Samuel. Max is a sort of pen with a rare magic of consciousness and Samuel is a sort of young man with severe anxiety and depression. He believes academic success is the only success in life. He failed his tenth standard exam twice in a row. As Samuel heads possibly towards his third failure in a row, Max must deliver him to his true destiny or Samuel could be a victim of his own adamant belief. He is one failure away from stepping up the noose. But can a pen succeed where Families have failed?"

Huge thanks to Jompi Ete for sharing her arts and Gyamar Nanam for helping us with both arts and the art gallery. This film would have been incomplete without the help of these two brilliant artists.
Also a big thanks to my big family for helping me out whenever I needed them.

Watched many times and still it brings tears in my eyes🥺...
Thank you Jonah bhaiya for giving me the opportunity and believing in me that I'm capable for the role. It was a great experience working with you and the team...
I'm overwhelmed 😳
Congratulations 🎉💥❤
WE NAILED IT 💪
For a first timer ,You have definitely surpassed my expectations and I am very proud of you . I wish you the very best in your life ,Never change ❤
@@Joramjonah Thank you 🥺💗
💗💗💗💗💗
Shine On brother Ponio. ❤❤
@@siriusvlog9672 Thank you so much 🥺💗🙃
As the mother of a son who did take his life, I say love them, believe in them. Watch them to see changes. What you think can never happen in your family, happens. Life is never the same. Corey I miss you my beautiful son. ♥️
I am very sorry for your loss. May you use your very sad experience to show others parents what they must focus on in their dealings with their children. It is so easy to lose sight of what is most important. I wish you strength. ❤❤❤
❤
He is in peace. He wants you to be liberated off the burden. Just tell "God my son is with you for he is well" Guide me too Father and make me free.
Aum peace...
@@deborahduthie4519 sending you a big hug mama, I so understand.
I also lost my husband 20 years ago by the same way. It’s very sad. I hug you and your family
I'm a pre-med graduate. Honestly my entire college life was never fun to me. Why? Because it mentally drained me. Also it's not my line of what I'm good at and my parents chose this course for me. I have no choice but to obey them. I just counted the days till the end of graduation for it to be over. Good thing that there's my friends who makes my life fun but when I return home, I became sad again.
My dreams and passion is opposite to what my parents want. I love art and anything related to creativity. Even if the piece I make is being done in a month, or year, I didn't complain because I simply love what I am doing.
Now, I'm healing and heading towards my pursuing of my artist life!!!
Academics is not the only way to succeed in life. Everyone has different talents, abilities, & hobbies. Don't chose the way for which you are not made for, it will lead you no where. And don't listen to toxic societies that brings you down.
Just breathe in, breathe out, believe in yourself and never give up!!
❤️❤️❤️🩹
I was in tears as I watched this excellent short film. Education is in crisis in almost all parts of the world and desperately many children are falling victim to pointless requirements. There are not enough and appropriate teachers to discover and support individual potential. Perhaps parents could give their children more care and love if they, the majority, were not struggling to make a living while others ( the exploiters) are swimming in money.
Hard truth as to how the world works 💔
I love the fact that the cinematography matches the mindset of the aspirant and what he is going through:
"The simple joys of life that blends with the scenery when he outside, doing what he loves and forgetting his problem.
The sudden dark setting that depicts his mental struggles at home."
The constant show of ⏰ time running out, a mother's love and words of a father who puts his insecurity into his son rather than encouraging him is such a recurring theme for those who give competitive exams. This video is in itself is like a Pen to me that teaches us to expand in our abled field instead of following the queue and to go forward. Beautifully captured and created.
.
.
(To my dear aspirants: do give your best but please remember that no exam is ever bigger than your mental well being and that there is plenty of room for improvements+success in the fields that one can fully understand or enjoy doing the most! Just be a good creator, observer, smart and hardworking enough.)
❤❤❤
Not everyone is good at the same things, it doesn't mean they can't succeed, it just means they need your support a lot more. Be their magic!
Very will put Ma’am ❤️
We're all good at something. It takes a lot of courage and strength to pursue your dreams. So many obstacles... Both real and imagined. Draw your sword, face the demons, And slay the dragons! There's nothing to fear but fear itself! 💪
I'm a student of 12th class and everyone knows that how much important a pen in the student life and not only in the student life but in our entire life. A pen is capable to change the whole future of a student as well as a new generations. I'm always grateful for this and today because of your art today I really realised it. We are strangers but your emotions may be same towards a thing and that's the amazing. I hope that you would like that message and be inspired to make new films like that. Super amazing.. Lots of respect Sir!❤
My tears came out I thought the boy died. in that scene, I can cop with him I love the narration and the script is beautifully written. Hats off to this gem I genuinely appreciate your work. The last scene just makes me happy the director comes himself and gives the film a life❤️
Beautifully said buddy . Thanks 😊
But the mysterious guy at the end is my youngest brother , the actor from all the best 😄 . It’s okay people often get confused him with me 😁
@@Joramjonah my gosh, he just looks like you. I got confused, I hope we'll get to see more of these in the coming days ❤️
Beautifully produced Jonah. Our society need people who understand and support child psychology and potential not just in academics but also art, entertainment and sports like the magical pen in this short movie.
Cheers and congratulations! Thank you!
Thank you Nanam . And a big big thanks to you for your contribution in the film as well ❤
Everyone deserves a magical pen ❤️
In memory of a neighbor, a young man working in research in the rat race of one of the very top institutions in the US. He probably missed so much in life just to get admitted. Probably his research results weren't turning as expected to be funded. I didn't meet him, but they said he was very nice and polite. So sad, finally found him 6 days later. I would advise him, be like water, surrender, put aside your ego and your expectations and those of others, something greater will come your way. Rest in Peace.
Quote. “Success is a poor teacher.” My dad must have repeated this maxim a hundred times as I grew up. There are some lessons that only failure can teach. If you want to mature, you need to fail. Jesus failed. So should we.
Indeed, many are going through alot. We must learn that challenges doesn't define whom we're, not until we accept defeat.
We have to be strong in the phase of challenges, encouraging one another. Many have made mistakes,but every mistake can be corrected.
Thank God i was able to stand after going through similar challenges.
#MTBs
I just want to tell everyone one thing. Be easy. Success is nothing but it just the something gives us excitement during our journey. Have fun, take it easy and enjoy every second of our life. And one more thing is that never try to give up if we fail at something for thr first time. Even myself, I have gone through such period too at several point of my life. I tried so many to escape from the problem without even thinking a second but later I found that if i had a chance to calm down myself and thought of it, i could have easily solve those problems. Just a few days back, I was about to give up my project just because i had no clue what am i doing. Then one of my teacher told me not to give up even if i could not make it, i still can say i did something. I felt good and start my project from the point where i left.
So guys, have fun and take it easy. Just do what you really love. Enjoy it.
😮😮😮
Those drop year I took for neet preparation where I went through this rollercoaster ride emotion anxiety depression failure had me reminiscing my dark phase for a moment 😢 thank you for making this !
awesome raising of awareness ... so much suicide comes from family/societal expectations.
Encourage children's talents, let them blossom in their own time and way. We are all precious
Used in any manner, Pen is always mighter than sword. No person is a born loser, but society's distractions make him a failure. As said, woods are lovely dark and deep, the same way inumerable avenues are present beyond academics. Sky is the limit! Never discourage any person to move towards success. Well-made Short with equally deserved award.
Beautifully put and thanks alot 😊
It's great short film*. Nature,Student&Life*.
A powerful message! Our societies these days put so much emphasis on examinations that they forget the importance of learning and a student’s passion for life that always exceeds the boundaries of the formal classroom. So much for progress…. I’ll take the days of the 1950s and 1960s with limited teaching resources, blackboards and chalk, over today’s technology any day.
❤ A story of hope, something we all need. Youngsters need to know that life gives many chances. Most importantly, what may seem to be a setback or failure is life's way of steering us in a better direction. Thank you for the happy ending.
❤️❤️
I am crying see it, I also end this because of backlog but your shortfilm give a hope , thanks u 😢
At the end of the day, every parents want to see their kids happy irrespective of what they do. A big fan of your stories and videography joram sir🙌
Thank you dear ❤❤
I see there’s a lot of talented person in our state and I’m very proud to be an Arunachali ❤

Yrr seriously ossom story I liked it very much to be very honest it is speechless how admiring, beautiful it is in his own way Hat's of to this bemesal story ❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉
Thank you dear , glad you liked it 😊
Absolutely amazing story and very well produced movie! I'm producing my first movie, independently, with help of family and friends and your film is such an inspiration for someone like me; thank you!
Wow 😳😳 , you earned a life long viewer champ . Never ever stop inspiring, keep shining buddy. God is with you mate. ❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊

Wow what an awesome story....be the Pen in someone's life
God will always be with us.
He will lead us to the right way ....❤❤❤❤
Great film. Well acted and beautiful scenery. Very inspiring. Keep it up!
This story is quite relatable with students and young people nowdays. I have also gone through this phase when you are trying but everything arounds you scares you to death. like while I'm driving i suddenly loose focus, while cutting fruits or veggies i don't know how knife goes too close to my wrist and many other things. eventually someone supported me alot, the person also don't know how much he helped me, but I'm really grateful for having them.
I cried watching this because this is completely looking like my story quite a months ago. But one thing that is different and about no one talks is that there are some children who only knows about study. from their childhood the only thing they have done is to study. i myself a student who only knows about study and nothing else like I'm very poor in sports, singing, dancing, cooking, art, or any other activity. But when you start failing in the only thing you know, you don't know any other alternative.
I was a topper till 10th but from 11th my grades fall drastically and the fear is not failing but what to do after failing because i don't know anything else. and this fear just makes your heart heavier and heavier.
@sunitachoudhary4685: Hoping desperately you'll come back to check responses to your message .... Some suggestions: horticulture, childcare, working with animals, caring for the elderly, needlework/sewing, apprenticeship in a trade (eg shoe making, watch repair) .... even working in a shop can bring satisfaction and contentment. You could also talk to a sympathetic teacher because it could well be that underlying anxiety is precipitating a sense of failure.
@@vivicohen199Thanks for the suggestion but you know that these things in india are not much considered and seen as failure. I love my parents most and i never want to look like a disappointment to them. Like there is nothing bad in all these things actually they all are pretty good but they don't think like that and to them these are all wastage of time.
Gratefully i have a teacher who quite understands my situation. They always guide and help me. They are exactly like the pen in the story, i have no idea what i would had done to myself if they don't come to help me
Such a wonderful work... Your work is so underrated you deserve much more success... And this short movie is well deserved for the award 👍👍👍 congratulations to all the cast and crew members of this master piece...
Thank you dear ❤❤
I'm a failure student to but it doesn't meant to give up, as there r many reports of students who gave up on this stage n committed suicide etc in a short way to short story movie it tell us not to give up in our life but to choose the good scope which we r good at not in a way where we r talent less
As now I'm demanding for more Long movie like this in coming days I'm really not satisfied i want more of this 🖐️🔥
Don’t give up buddy . Stay strong and good things will happen eventually ❤
I cried. I didn't think he'd survive. He did. I believe in MAGIC!
the film is handsomely directed, beautifully narrated,gorgeously designed, and gently finshed.
Thank you brother ❤
Bhai ka yaad agya dekke.. Pura flashback chala gya kuch samai klye😊
June 18 2017 I lost him.
May he rest in heavens glory.
Thanks JJ and Team for creating this beautiful master piece (for me it's a master piece).. God bless you and may you have a bright future ahead🌸
I am very glad that the film has touched you and I hope that your brother is in a better place now . Thank you dear and May God bless you ❤
🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭💔
It is so sad when a soul decides to end this beautiful God given life.due to outward harsh circumstances .There have to be more compassion kindness and love so no one feels so pressurised
May your brother who took this drastic step be in light and peace.🙏🌺
It is parents’ job to teach their kids that life success comes in many forms and by million ways.
Very true 😊
I don't usually cry to any movies. But this one is special and too beautiful. It goes deep into my heart.
I had a year loss in Btech. My parents were very sad. All my life I had been a good ranker in class. My dad didn't spoke to me for months. I was helpless, lost all hopes in life.I thought of ending my life.
But one day a miracle happened. I was on my way to my hostel from Naharlagun. I saw an opportunity.
I was always an sport enthusiasts and wanted to represent my country to International level. Ever since that day I have a hope, a reason to live on and now I have been training hard to represent my nation and pursuing BTech too.
Recently went for a competition I lost the fight(silver )but not myself anymore.
For all of you out there. Don't give up. Academic isn't the only way.
Hats off to the team.😄😄
“Say it louder”
Your testimony is an example to all those lost souls out there . Wish you all the best in days to come 😊
I believe in magic....thank you❤🐾
I really loved the pen concept and very heart touching. Thankyou for making this film.
Bro you've nailed it. ❤
I don't know it's your personal trauma or your skill to show trauma. Either way it's a beautiful piece of art.
We fight this every single minute of our lives...
Keeping him ticking every hour ... every minute is so so tasking...
i don't know when I will give up...
Life has become so bleak...
hugs your way guys...all of you...out there...all of you tat suffer...that scream silently.....
..
a mom...
SUCH A TOUCHING STORY,SO BEATIFULLY NARRADED AND EXECUTED.
TO ALL THE PEOPLE OUT THERE:UNLEASH YOUR PASSION WITHOUT DOUBTING YOURSELF.
NEVER GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS
THE PEN'THE DREAM'THE FURURE'THE HAPPINESS 💚💛🧡🌞
Upper-case typing could never speak louder. The beauty of written words resides in their selection of meaning. Invest in a Dictionary of repute on your work-station. A laptop is much better. Creative writing is a hobby even if you read your own short stories to your friends and relatives. Don't waste postage mailing to headless editors who earn "Lefafas" from favorites.
THANK 🌹
Excellent short film very touching and sends a great message "Never Give Up"
What a touching film! Sociey's templates force behaviour and comparison. Money is validated more than time...
people are struggling for their life,, please be kind, Remember ALL people are STRUGGLING TO SURVIVE!❤️
i just wanted to hug him. hes an artist which is automatically a success. hes already succeeded. whoever instilled in him that only school success will lead you there also designed the failure that is the american school system. Academics need a revolution. where arts music and health come first and foremost. an artist is the most successful person on earth. we would still live in caves without art. art is the wheel....
Very Heart touching!! Each one of us probably relates to this as we neared exams and carries the expectations of frail shoulders!! Very well written, directed and executed !!
This is beautiful, can't stop crying! Touching.
Everything about this is important and impactful, including the comments below. Thank you!
I couldn't understand their language but i feel theirs work nd efforts what they actually gave society .. i appreciate nd very thankful ..🎉😊❤
How can you console a parent or say kind words who has lost their child. Nothing is enough. As parents we only want the best for them and forget they are fragile and trying to navigate their own challenges.
This short film shook me from within. I hope all of us as parents understand our children better and learn from this film.
Hands down, best film about Anne Frank 👍🏻
So beautiful & encouraging.I love it.short indeed but powerfully educative.
Thank you 😊
Best, I am speech less.🙏❤️
Superb video in every respect. Depicting the inner and external struggles young people face. Showing the result of his decision to keep on anyway is a masterpiece.
Greetings from Scotland. 🎉🎉🎉
I am glad you that you liked my film , thank you 😊
It's a mistake to try to put everyone in the same box. Not everyone will fit in and some will feel broken and feel like they are a disappointment to those who had certain expectations of them. The only thing parents should expect of their children is for them to find the box they DO fit in and do their best in it. It's important to know that not all in the box will be the same and achieve the same level. True success is finding one's place in life and being content there. It never hurts to strive to become better at something, but it DOES hurt to think that if you don't become the best in your box that you're a failure. Good work on your film. Well written and acted.
Thank you 😊
A truly magnificent film! ❤
You cannot ever give someone enough praise. Think before you speak.
Academics take years to suck the soul of artists who find themselves stuck in a 9 to 5 job which could lead to the death of mental health, hence, the increasing suicide rate or drug addiction. Thank you for conveying this message in such a unique depiction!
❤️🩹♥️
@@Joramjonah Respect 🙏🌸🌸🌸
@@Tamingsouls thank you dear 🙏🏻
Beautiful story... Ponio, you did very well
Thank you Pacho 🤗💗
Well Done, you. You have this old writer in tears. Many many people could use a pen such as this. Perhaps you have given it to us? Thank you.
Thank you dear , I am glad that you liked my film ❤
One of the best short films I have ever watched . To have such a deep emotional toll in me in just mere 15minutes really tells how good of a artist you are . Beautifully crafted . Thanks for making such good short films .
Outstanding Dear ponio(pagar)Dst❤❤
Thank you ajing 😅❤
@@poniodora Aaya pa aato Ajing ❤️😁
it is a magical pen! the timing! Thank you very much, I am grateful
Heartwarming Story, Beautiful Cinematic.. Great Job Sir.
What a small gem. Bring tears in my eyes.
It’s so painful just having a only definition of success if you’re not fitting into it. You have to work for always to be in that success circle. To drawing your way, finding ur own success and happiness is challenging and dreadful when ur society especially when your parents have rotten beliefs.. and knowing they will never support you..I can clearly say I gave up on my way. The thing i just want to run away from this life by the way that no one even imagine. Only with myself…
@mertOdemir: It's so sad to come across all these stories about the sheer Hell of living within the harsh expectations of family and society in general. Parents have a lot to answer for. We are more than the sum of their expectations and demands. It's very important to find the emotional support of at least one older, wise person who knows so-called success lies in contentment with humble occupations.
❤❤❤❤❤❤ such a heart touching story. A beautiful real struggle story
Nice story and music 👍
The power of mothers You better know God created them. I'm an artist. My mom saw it in me when I was a child, bought me easel, paints and brushes inrolled me in art camp. I put it down for a while. When I turned 50, I picked it up again. It started out looking like nothing much, but I was compelled to do it, and it grow, now everyone loves my art. Now I see what my mom saw she wasn't a touchie, feelie kind of mother, but she gave me my first start.😢
Wah!!..ponio 🎉👏👏👍❤ u nailed it 🎉 it was really amazing... U acted really well 😍👏 hope to see you in next video... 🎉 keep it up 👍

Thank you 😊
Wowwww... what a great story and message! Thank you for this beautiful and important work! Greetings and love from Hamburg, Germany!
Thank you dear ❤️😊
I do like the simplicity of the pen, & I'm never without one. I've just read on the Discover website 18/1/23 that the first writing (symbols not letters) alongside Ice Age paintings, dates back some 20,000 years, which goes back far earlier than previously thought. These ancient people were clever because they painted the animals they hunted. They'd even worked out the mating & birthing times within the seasons.
Amizing short film, i love it, thanks a lot!!
Sir, which camera is used of making this type of great video
Photography and filming is perfect
Beautiful film with a heartfelt message,
My observation after seeing the short film was that it had really striking cinematography.
The movie's dialogue, music, and sound design are outstanding, establishing the tone and atmosphere. The dialogue is understandable and straightforward, and sound effects enhance immersion and realism. The plot has a well-paced structure with a distinct beginning, middle, and end, and the storytelling techniques, including flashbacks and current events, provide depth and complexity. Overall, the film's storytelling is well-crafted and engaging.
A great deal of symbolism was used in the film, with recurring themes and metaphors that improved the narrative's overall impact and meaning. As an example, the pen itself suggested the possibility of growth and transformation while serving as a powerful symbol of hope and redemption.
The Pen is a successfully constructed short film that creates an unforgettable and fascinating cinematic experience by successfully combining audio design, cinematography, symbolism, and storytelling. My perspective for this analysis is that the film uses a combination of visual and through sound elements to explore concepts of faith, redemption, and the power of human connection.

Thank you for making my home look sooo beautiful❤
Your home was always beautiful 😄❤️
😢 wow Amazing 😢
The history of creative people is full of such stories. Cezanne, Gauguin, Matisse....all began as bankers or law students etc. but, after trying to fit into their parents' plans, they gave that up and followed their dreams.
Very well put brother .
A beautiful movie well done. Not only in India but in Korea and Japan too young people commit suicide because they cannot take what they perceive as social pressure. In Japan, the obsession with suicide as a form of honorably cleansing their failures is well documented during feudal times death by self disembowelment was sought earnestly.
worth it! congratulation for the winning..
Beautiful creation
Excellent story. Very moving and it is very true
Thank you 😊
I love the color use and lighting!
Very heartouching film. I am watching from Europe Italy. The most important thing is to support our kids in what they are strong,not looking what the neighbours daughter or son does Our children should love what they do in life. There is too much competition in the educational systems and the parents minds worldwide.
Bravo, great job. Jonah and Pai achi. Proud of you both.
Thank you Risso Bhai , means a lot ❤
Its great short movie. Keep it up
Brilliant❤
