Simply incredible and much needed. So proud of you, Aaron. Keep going!

I’m speechless. This was just so realistic. Such talented actors, both the mom and the young men. The montage could have easily veered into cheesy, but ended up being a beautiful portrayal of gentleness and stable support of a new friend. Dom was so sweet to welcome him into the family home without criticizing Blake’s mom. It’s such a gift to let someone you love make their own choices, just being a stabilizing influence, free of pressure or manipulation. So much authenticity and warmth in their budding friendship / situationship juxtaposed with the devastating destruction of the mother-son bond after the mom becomes yet another victim of right wing extremist conspiracy, and their shameless fraud and deception of the most vulnerable targets they can find. This was a spot-on depiction of how a once normal person could get in too deep. After sacrificing her family’s source of income by quitting her job, and then sending those people even more of the family’s money… It’s not hard to imagine the mom concluding there’s no way for her to admit she was duped, after financially devastating the family. Somehow she still believed it better to risk losing the child she loves than to face the reality that she’d been repeatedly victimized by the Qanon cult. Better to let them take everything from her, I guess 😢

That really hit me in the feels. I am the “black sheep” in my family. My mom doesn’t approve of my “choice to live a gay lifestyle.” When I came out she said, “and you’re doing this now to embarrass the family.” Ugh! She hasn’t gotten any better since and that was over a decade ago. As we know - being gay IS NOT A CHOICE. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🌈 Your film speaks to us all! Thank you. There’s power in letting going of toxicity even when it’s family (maybe ESPECIALLY when it’s family)!

Beautiful piece of propaganda.

I was absorbed from the start. You managed to capture and convey the message of growth, change, and hope in quite the succinct, yet touching and heartfelt manner. Kudos

Regardless of the topic, the atmosphere created between the characters due to the 'guilt' that children bear and the 'hurt' the parent bear was so tangible and relatable and real. Every generation through history have lived this.

Wow. I didn't know what to expect. This was so touching ❤

loved it

It's too bad that people like her reproduce,

This woman needs a job and mental health help.

Overall great production... Many important topics! Rapid hole reminds me of john b calhoun study tho, which is still valid - maybe more than ever. Btw, we cannot understand the magnitude of fraudsters... (including government's. Taxes on taxes on taxes... ) I personally didn't care about covid, I think nature should harvest us more frequently anyway. Just seeing these masks makes me feel dizzy! 🥴 Wonder how many people got crazy because of the isolation etc during covid pandemic.

Movie sucks to choke

This is why we don't invite you to dinner, mom.😢

I think people are in the Rabbit hole right now so down and deep.

Great movie!.. even for a conspiracy REALIST 😜

Thank you so much for sharing this

Soon and very soon the world will learn the truth but then itll be too late. Mind blowing how everything in this short film is in the bible including the warning of the v axe eens. In Revelation 18:23 it tells us how theyll deceive the nations with pHARMakeia, the mom wasnt crazy only those with eyes to see can see it but she idolized Trump when teuth is both sides of politics support the same beast system to thrive. In Deuteronomy it warns us about voting.

Conspiracy theories can be very destructive - Worst advice ever - To do whatever and deal w/ consequences later !!! Story of my life, til I learnt better thinking 🙏🙏🙏

Nursing curriculum is science/fact based yet she believes these theories

Blake needed that to feel free. Being oppressed by a mentally unstable mother wasn't living his authentic self. He is fortunate to have a great friendship with Dom and new beginning out of nowhere. I really loved how authentic this was and how it teaches lessons to others going through similar issues.

Brilliant! I am 73 years old and this short film really made me think! That mother was really off the deep end!

Enjoyable watch, thank you 🫶

I’m sure the next film will be about Russiagate, the Biden laptop “hoax”, or the certainty that people will soon be rounded up and placed detention camps, conspiracy theories that weren’t held only by the fringe on the left, but by the majority.

What an absolutely beautiful film! This film shows the life of a mother and son in a moment in time …yet represents the immense negative impact that Trump’s fascist tactics, fear mongering, and hateful rhetoric have had on the lives of so many. Thank you for ending the film with what we all need now … Love and Hope!

Fuck me, that scene with mother and son about his vaccination, brilliant acting, well lit, great dialogue. Well done. Love it. So above most shorts on here, like MILES above, holy shit!!!. How do you have so little subs??? I personally wanted it to just be about the mother and son, because, there's way more stakes in it for him, their different political beliefs are tearing them apart, they both have a relationship to lose. You can feel it when they say their goodbyes. I just wanted to see where it could go from there, how much worse or better it could get for them, not that it all wasn't great, it was. Thank you.

He probably on his 8th booster by now.

As a queer person with a Qanon parent, this is incredible.

It was awesome!

God, how great is this? Just brilliant - everything. Amazingly acted and written. This should be a series, the characters are so easy to invest in and relate to. Heart warming and really very moving. Congrats to all involved!

WOW YOU GUYS ARE SO TALENTED IS THIS IS HOW YOU'RE ACCEPTING DEFEAT SORE LOSERS I BET WE SHOULD MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT HOW WHAT WE'VE HAD TO GO THROUGH WITH YOUR WEIRD FREAK ASS FRIENDS FOR THE LAST 4 YEARS ACTUALLY I THINK THAT'S WHAT I'LL DO MY VIDEO WILL BE TITLED ILLEGALS ARE TREATED BETTER THAN AMERICANS IT WILL TALK ABOUT HOW ILLEGALS WE'RE GIVING CARS AND HOMES AND THEN HOW SCHOOL SYSTEMS TRIED TO CHOP LITTLE BOYS PENISES OFF THAT'S WHAT I THINK I'LL CALL IT WE ALL JUST A BUNCH OF LOSERS AND NOBODY LIKES YOU AND I'M GLAD THAT TRUMP WON HAHAHAHA

Magnificent 💛

Those of you who got the prick might actually enjoy this flick. Wearing rose colored glasses this movie is ment to persuade the masses. Two thumbs down from me , its very suspish there are no other negative reveiws to see?

Just WOW! Beautiful! 🩵

Watching this from Spain. We here in Europe wonder how it is possible that so many people in the US believe such crazy conspiritorial paranoid things and yet deny the obvious reality around them. It is simultaneously facinating and horrible. And very, very sad. My heart goes out to all the normal people who are having to deal with all this craziness. By the way, I was vaccinated for the 5th time this morning. I'm fine and so is everyone I know. Thanks for posting this sensitive little film. Keep making more. You've got a talent.

He has a Smart mum. Wish i didn't take it. Had a heart attack after it and lost my job anyway without another. Great short film. All my un jabbed friends have NEVER had CONvid yet. Because "science".

I say the breaking of the hearts should be the other way around🤔😢

I wonder who's a little unhinged here

Poignant and unfortunate statement of our times. 🌈🩵💙🩵

Well done. I was so very close to hiding away from all social media and allowing the sorrow to soak into my bones. Then I realised, we are all here together for a reason. And there is a reason for this season. And I know, those who are true, kind and compassionate, would NEVER abandon anyone in their darkest hour or not stand side-by-side to push back. I am here for it. This was a gorgeous movie in every possible way. Thank you.

Very well done and beautifully acted. It is a nuanced depiction of people who fall down the rabbit hole. Love and sadness, and the need to your own life.

Excellent film. Brilliant acting! Very realistic portrayal of families during the pandemic and their divided beliefs.

Lovely film. Blakes mom was right about the vax though.

very sad, very beautiful, very realistic 😑🥰💙 thank you & greetings from Europe

Well, this is now our reality. trump won sad truth....great film though 💙

Well, I watched it on a Tuesday, enjoyed it so much that I watched again on Wednesday and enjoyed it even more. Beautifully scripted, beautifully and artfully performed. I didn't notice a single "actor." Everything felt natural, as if we were peeking into homes. Well done, Sir Schoonover. And I tip my hat to the cast.

well done sir, well done!

Said absolutely nothing to me. Wasted time!

You've made an incredible film that has captured the many emotions of growing into adulthood and independence against the backdrop of the madness of conspiracy theories. How heartbreaking to see the differences between the two families. I hope the rest of the story for our young protagonist has more joy than heartache. All the actors were phenomenal! All the best to the cast and crew!

That was superb! I was thoroughly enraptured. Watching from Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Uk
