Second Thought

I'll start by saying that it's commendable that these two made a film, considering how difficult it can be to pull together a production of any kind. So, tip of my hat to you for that. However, I was disappointed, because the film could have been so much better. The script doesn't grapple anything we haven't already seen before. Plus, the acting was pretty flat, and the editing could have been much tighter. If they're going to keep doing this, then they need a good story consultant on their team, someone with excellent storytelling skills to can take a rough draft script and make it truly shine. An on-set acting coach wouldn't hurt either.

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 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. 🎃

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 ;-)

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!
