Second Thought

Shows what you can do nowadays with just a little money but a lot of thought. Love the mirroring of the actions of the two main actors as youngsters and oldies. To get the greatest audience I liked was done in tegard dialogue. The two main actors really looked like they were falling in love. I also think that Provincetown would love the use of the town as the backdrop. The big question the short brings up is the still problematic question of how gays can find love and the whole hookup situation. My favourite moment was the skateboard and bicycle scene. Can't wait to see what will be produced by this talented duo.

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. 🎃

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.

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!

"Second Thought" is a captivating short film that skillfully explores the consequences of choices. The scenes are meticulously crafted, and the chemistry between Chris and Art is palpable, adding depth and authenticity to the narrative. The cinematography is impressive, with thoughtful use of lighting and angles that enhance the emotional impact of each scene. As their first significant attempt at filmmaking, they've delivered an impressive and mature piece. The way they present the theme of choice and outcome is both thought-provoking and engaging, encouraging viewers to reflect on their own decisions. I eagerly anticipate more projects from this talented duo in the future, as they clearly have a bright path ahead in the film industry. 🎃
