Second Thought

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.

In less than seven minutes, Second Thought brilliantly forces the audience to confront the reality of life altering consequences caused by chosen behaviors. The film dramatically depicts the polar opposite outcomes, between opportunities lost by shallow behavior, versus opportunities gained by earnest and profound behavior.

The storyline is set in the context of intimacy. It explores and reveals the emotional vacancy of hookup culture, the using and disposing of people as objects to satisfy an addiction to instant gratification, and the resulting inevitable failure to find and form any meaningful relationship to secure the most fundamentally essential human need for deeper and durable intimacy...

Versus...

The alternative possibility of achieving the most rewarding result of a lifetime, one of true happiness that only exists in the finding and nurturing of passionate romantic love between two humans sharing the ultimate connection of mind, body, and soul.

Two teenagers waking up, being part of same morning routine and leaving to pressumed cool location gay friendly.

A message on a social media web, a date, a hot night. And, maybe , nothing more.

But , only maybe.

The simplicity of story, the good looking young actors, the familiar scenes are, at the first sight, the basic virtues of this short film.

But the images about same young men after 30 years are the top of the cake. And the mixture of melancholia and good slice of hope are precious for precise definition of happiness near beloved one.

In short, just charming , scene by scene and, indeed, not only as homosexual story, admirable crafted.

I really enjoyed every minute off it ! Thumbs up for all the work that Art, Chris and all the others who have worked on this !

In the 6minute during video they give us a story where I think a lot of people will recognize themselves in ! From getting ghosted after the one time hookup to going on multiple dates and creating a bound that leads to an endless love story!

Also excellent choice of location for filming! Provincetown one of the favorite locations for lgbtq community!

My conclusion is ! Go to YouTube and go watch "second thought" ! You will see you're not gonna regret it ;-)

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.
