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.
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.
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.
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)!
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.
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 😢
Great film! Love the emotional extremes, the happiness,, sadness and frustration. Also that nervous excitement that took me back to my youth haha, love it!
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.
For the avoidance of doubt there is no such thing as a Qanon. There is Q and there are anons who in the most part are revealing the truth which has been denied to humanity for so very long. BTW my late son was homosexual so I’m not anti “queer”, though I do believe the term “queer” is a derogatory title for a human being.
Omg if they didn’t model his mom after my own mother… I thought she was a rare case. From the conspiracies to the guilt tripping. I love her but it gets rough sometimes. Even with me being on my own.
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!
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!
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
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!
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 🙏🙏🙏
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.
Thank you for the kind words! We just released two weeks ago so hoping the film continues to find it's footing and reach the people that need it. Appreciate your support!
Quite a film for this election cycle. The way quarantine becomes a utopian space for a kind of familial love and affection. Just what the doctor ordered for the protagonist.
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.
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".
My husband, a healthy athletic man, died from Covid before the vaccine. Good thing you didn’t have Covid when you had your heart attack. It could have killed you.
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?
This film was meant to shine a light on the current state of divide in our families. And just want to make clear I have not hid or deleted any comments. Thanks for watching!
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.
@@katella That's super neat-o. Swimming in November. Spain is almost Heaven! I'm American but not too much with the conspiracy theories, as you noted we are so inane here. LOL 😅 To get pentacle times the jab, you are very trusting in your clone leaders. I don't trust uneducated people like Mr. Fauci, who has come to understand why we are so unforgiving. Like Majorkas and all the other stooges on our last merry-go-round of stupidity. When some Hollyweird harlot cannot fathom the demonstration of a Venn diagram's purpose, we just shut off their lights by giving them a Mennonite shun.
You should see the news now how the other side (left) is taking Trump's election. Two Harris supporters killed family members because of the election results. At least Blake mom didn't murder her son.
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.

Hard decision but sometimes chosen family is what is best for our own mental health. Thank you for watching!
Brilliant! I am 73 years old and this short film really made me think! That mother was really off the deep end!
thank you for watching!!
Thank you for sharing this Aaron, what a hard reality we are facing here in Northeast Ohio. Creating our own family has always been our way.
Thank you for watching and for the comment

How do we not pass it on is the question...

Wow thank you so much! Truly appreciate the support and kind words.
Glad I got to work on this. Was a great cast and crew.
I think people are in the Rabbit hole right now so down and deep.
As a queer person with a Qanon parent, this is incredible.
Sorry you are going through that. Thank you for watching!
For the avoidance of doubt there is no such thing as a Qanon. There is Q and there are anons who in the most part are revealing the truth which has been denied to humanity for so very long.

A sad reality of a lot of us. 💙🌎
Very much so. Thank you for watching.

Sorry you’re going through this. That is why I wanted to tell this story, we aren’t talking enough about what the divide is doing to families.
This is also my experience, except it's my dad instead of my mom.
Excellent film. Brilliant acting! Very realistic portrayal of families during the pandemic and their divided beliefs.
Thank you so much!
Wow. I didn't know what to expect. This was so touching ❤

Thanks Hannah! Same! Thinking we do a Boyhood type film and revisit them every 5-10 years.
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 🙏🙏🙏
maybe a good set up for part two?? Dom's Rabbit Hole perhaps!
Incredible work by an incredible person! Very well done, Aaron!
Amazing! We can't wait to see what you do next, Aaron ◡̈

What a good short ❤ thanks for the upload 😊 his mom reminds me of my mom 😢 the pandemic did a lot of damage to a lot of families
It truly did. Sorry you experienced. Thank you for watching and leaving a comment. ❤
@330pictures very good work ❤️
You mean Trump and Fox did a lot of damage, including murder to a lot of families.
Quite a film for this election cycle. The way quarantine becomes a utopian space for a kind of familial love and affection. Just what the doctor ordered for the protagonist.
Exactly! Thank you so much for watching.
go natey!!!!
He did such an excellent job. So proud of him!
I say the breaking of the hearts should be the other way around🤔😢
Agreed!
Great movie!.. even for a conspiracy REALIST 😜
He probably on his 8th booster by now.
I wonder who's a little unhinged here
Well, this is now our reality. trump won sad truth....great film though 💙
Thank you for watching.
Lovely film. Blakes mom was right about the vax though.
🤦🏽
shhhhh 🙄
Also, stock piling food because of hyperinflation ended up coming later.
Yep and she was right about many things!!!
