Second Thought

I hope these two YouTube and social media content creators continue to make videos and films together. This short film left me wanting to know more about what happened in the lives of the two main characters during the 30 years of their relationship. The storyline here was clear despite the fact that there was no dialog audible to the viewer. The music choices contribute to the successful storytelling, as does the expert editing. The performances of the two main characters were very naturalistic and believable. This is a very heartwarming short film. I highly recommend it, especially to others aspiring to make short or longer films. 🎃

This film, without dialog, captures a key moment in two young lives. I'm sure many viewers can look back on their own lives and say to themselves "what if?"

Two young men arrange a meet-up in P-Town. This film explores options and outcomes. The photography captures this little town on the tip of Cape Cod effortlessly. They used the imagery of the town metaphorically to enhance the story line. Those who've been to Provincetown will understand the visual idioms.

I had a similar moment over 40 years ago. Amazing how this young crew captured my feelings, then and now. It took me back and made me smile. I'm still smiling.

Watch it more than once. Like a parable you will find more than one level of meaning.

This is a good first-effort film from these two. Not perfect, not awful. The stars here are Art and Chris, and whoever the old guys are.

Chris' implied desire for intimacy vs. Art's desire to get his rocks off is well-illustrated and poignant. A little more lead-up could have been helpful, and the photography could have been more crisp and less filmed-through-cheesecloth looking. For a low-budget effort, it's well done and I'm certain that they have learned a lot in self-producing this effort. Some vocalization might have helped define the plot better; maybe next film.

Generally speaking, I'm impressed and happy with the film. There's no major errors in visuals, plot or continuity. Both guys are handsome and act provocative, though they don't seem at all like 'strangers in the night', as they seem to be intended to be.

By the way, Bret LaBelle is nothing more than a 2-second cameo here, and he's only here because his condition for donating production funding for the flick was that he had to be in it. Fortunately, the film's editor edited him as much out of it as possible. He contributes zero to this film, or to any film, as far as I can tell. He's just a guy with dollars who wants to hang around these guys.

Kudos to Chris and Art for a good effort. Can't wait to watch what's coming next!

It was cute but this could have just been a music video. Take any LGBTQ coming of age song (or Taylor Swift song) and just throw it over the video and it might have worked better. It just seems like another attention seeking video from these 2 Internet D-List / TikTok celebrities looking for Klout & clicks and to grow their following. There wasn't really any acting going on especially if you have seen any of their "other content". Someone with a better camera and better lighting equipment followed them around making this video. The only reason it's getting 5 stars and not 3 is for the lighting and cinematography. It's playful and cute but looks like it belongs on a PG-13 only fans instead of imdb.

I love this short film. It does speak in so many volumes within the LGBTQIA+ community. It really moved me into tears cause it's truthful, authentic and on point. It touches base on what some of us expierenced in real life. I love everything about it! More short films need to be created in this category on how many of us relate to it. We need more content creators to share their stories or recreate scenes that have total relation to this. If anything needed to be changed by it, I don't think so at all. It's the best short film, at least to me it is. Hopefully this short film can change someone's perspective on how they view the dating life. It's not always the same. 🎃
