So much depicted in a short film.
Ivermectin😮😮😮
Stunning and lovely. Gorgeously written and acted. The actors brought an ethereal quality to the characters.
Beautifully done and so timely. Love that the writer chose to have the mother say "I love you" back to her son.. keeping the humanity in her and showing that she's so far down that rabbit hole that even profound love for her child is not enough to save her.
That was lucky, that Blake had a friend to take care of him... poor Blake... the mom was a good actress, she played that nutjob well.
100% Stupid
Think i will just serve my God and not any man of any kind
Trust the plan.
This mother was utterly crazy. I would hope this young man disconnected from her as an adult. (all of you who sound like this in real life need to be in a padded cell).
I have been on the parameter of the rabbit hole. In 2000 Y2K had people scare about survival and thru Covid and Maga. Maintaining and being aware of the abuse of not being informed. It's work but it is so worth it. Stay safe and positive. The film was on point with all these issues. Will share it with friends to spread the message.
I’m from Ohio and I feel this. It was so well done. I want everyone I know to see it.
Ah, this was a very beautiful and moving film. Thank you to all whose creativity and vision is worth pursuing.
Run, run and be free to be you.
yoo thats dustin's mom
Haha yes! Thanks for watching!
One of the best short films I've watched on RUclips so far! ❤
This definitely could have been a full length movie
This was beautiful and heart wrenching at once. ❤️
Very powerful and emotional film. It is SO sad that there are so many people that fell down this rabbit hole but your film shows there are loving, caring families that did not.
selten so einen dämlichen Propagandafilm gesehen- kompletter mainstream- kein einziger interessanter Gedanke!
Soundtrack is awful
Filmmaker and team, in posting the film on RUclips, i'd guess were prepared for the hate from viewers whose righteous indignation gets their panties in a bunch to see a fictional work they 'disagree' with, not representing their view. Short had some shortcomings, but the premise of main character having this experience and perspective in 2021 is quite believable. Writing editing and acting all nicely understated; presenting the scenes without extreme emotion or heavy conflict was well-crafted from an artistic perspective. This was a series of snapshots in life of characters, not needing to have huge message. Within genre of short films, this accomplishes what it set out to do. Only ridiculous people would call this 'propaganda' , as they have in the comments, ironically framing the main character and screenwriter as their enemies, latching onto paranoia of anti-woke extremists as their credo. Fuck'em.
What a precious and empathetic portrayal of those sad, mixed up gullible fools. Incredible acting and direction - could have easily been a full length, I was so invested. Bravo
Unwatchable. To make it fair and equally inaccurate, the main character should attend a pro-Hamas Queers for Palestine riot.
OMG, the only people that ever mention Qanon are people on the left. Nobody on the right mentions it ever and nobody knows what it is. What a weird portrayal - and totally, gratuitously inaccurate.
So, is the mentioned Corporation a part of delusional conspiracy or a hidden reality?
Loved this. Def could be made into a series! Thanks for the watch 🌸
I had already forgotten about the Q Anon craziness. This was a good reminder of how so many of my fellow Americans fell for it. Luckily none of my frends or family did.
COVID showed us in so many ways how crazy people actually are
WOW ‼️now that was REALLY close to home ,made me cry . Very thought out and well made......reality
No offense, but this film is propaganda. If you are a real film-maker and investigative journalist then you will approach the topics of vaccines and covid with an open mind and do your due diligance. Are you willing to do that?
It's not a friggin documentary. It's the experience and perspective of a character, not of you. You don't have to like it, but the team that created the film doesn't have to give a flying f¥ck about your opinion. Go do you, hon. Lotsa love!
This short was excellently done! The son handled a difficult situation with grace and class. To all the rational people losing loved ones to Trump’s cult, I’m sorry for your pain. You are not alone. ❤
👍
There’s truth even in what has been labeled “conspiracy theories”. Beware of being so programmed you can’t feel truth
The movie is based on making intelligent people looking foolish …the mother is too far out there & the son is ignorant of important info
OMG don’t get vaccinated…jeez Louise
Smart woman to quit when being forced to vaccinate!!!!
People get too deep into the truther hole
Everything about this film is of perfection.❤❤❤❤ Love it..
This was amazing and sad and happy at the end. We need more content like this.
I just wonder how many families have been ripped apart like this because of the hate. I could never throw my kids away.
Yes indeed - but you should know, that even some grown kids do throw their families and even mothers away - and no - its not always the mothers fault at all - but it happens all the time.
I loved how all the insane fantasies were portrayed All Trump supporters are crazy All gays are innocent victims All vaccines are necessary and well researched Genius trolling my guy.
Sadly, the portrayal of the "mother trump supporter" is SPOT ON. It shows the blatant ignorance and detachment from reality they all have. Great film.
Who financed this movie, Pfizer? Wow. I have to hand it to Mr. Schoonover. I haven't seen a movie this tendentious in a while. My favorite moment of the film must be when Blake confesses that his mother "quit" her nursing job after refusing the covid vaccine. When most likely she was fired; as were thousands of doctors & nurses. I think it's fairly obvious that this short film was used as a vehicle of propaganda to discredit and marginalize the people who spoke out against mandatory widespread covid vaccination. How was this done? By illustrating (by way of the character of the mother) that these people are one and the same with Q Anon; and therefore must be crackpots who don't deserve our time and attention. Instead of Rabbit Hole, this film should have been titled Narrative Control. I guess having a filmmaker not be a tendentious ideologue is asking for too much these days.
This is one fine little film! Thank you so much for making it available for us to watch on YT.
Wonderful acting, very convincing characters, great to learn more about the inside of gay. I just feel a little awkward about the mom. She's definitely completely lost in her deep dark rabbit holes, yet some of the things she mentions have turned out to be true - like, e.g., that shedding is real - it was even tested and proven in the p*iz*r studies. The same manufacturer publicly confirmed that - on the other hand - stopping contagion was never tested, let alone proven. So the awkward feeling is that moms characterization implies that everybody who is critical about those specific jabs also believes in things that are way beyond logic and a healthy gut feeling. And that is simply not true. I for one am just as critical about those jabs as i am about the Qanon stuff and theTrump-hype and i know i'm far from alone in that.
What a beautiful little movie! Well done.
Its hard to accept that level of Trump Idolatry, QAnon paranoia & willing COVID ignorance can exist in a first world country.
Boring. :(
We need this right now. Thank You filmmakers!
I'm from germany and I'm experiencing similiar issues with my mum. But she's reacting even more cold when you disagree with her. I've been a bit esoteric and into conspiracies in the past myself but since my mum got an spiritual psychosis in 2020 it made me realise a lot. It also was the year where I got sober since I had an alcohol addiction for years. It really cleared my mind and I'm so done with all these conspiracies. I would like to go no contact with my mum but she's always making me feel guilty and like I have to protect her ego.
Malignant,covert narccicism is common with us Germans! Fascism is rising,scary.!
My Mother does the same to me. Must be a German thing as she is from Munich. Hahaha
My friend, we do not have our children to patch our own brokenness. We have them and we truly love them for the unique human beings they are, we value them above all else and we treat them with gentleness and dignity. Love is never conditional.
