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.
It really was great! I’m glad this film helped you realize there is so much more out there! Yes! We are all here for a reason and everything…everything happens for a reason. We just need to be patient and learn while we wait for the season to end. We are all going through it in one way or another. In this we are never alone. ❤
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.
The point at which a child becomes an adult, diverging from his mom's beliefs and values. In this case, it was for the better. It's a point in time that is pivotal for both parent and child. It's the end of innocence, a realization of a parent's frailty and weaknesses.
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)!
Most of her dialogue is pulled directly from interviews and articles with Q folk. And I think Catherine did a wonderful job of bringing humanity to a role that could have been played for “crazy” for laughs.
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
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.
To ‘choose’ the rabbit hole over your own flesh and blood. To turn away your own child on the word of a snake oil salesman. Lordy, that was a bluddy good film, well done.
@@SuperChristine000 Not equivalent. At all. People who didn't get the poke were potentially dangerous to the vulnerable, and therefore couldn't be allowed to participate in social gatherings that included the vulnerable. People who did get poked posed absolutely no danger others because of the poke, and the unpoked only believed they did based on, as the OP said, "the word of a snake oil salesman".
This was an incredible film. It deserved every one of the awards won so far, and I hope it wins many more. Fantastic work to the writer, director, actors, and everyone else involved in making it!
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.
Wow, this is amazing. Well done. I lived this. In my case it was religion that tore our family apart. My mom loved us, just as this woman loved her son, but she was also brainwashed, sure she was doing the right thing, and adamant in her refusal to have us in her life if we weren't in the same religion ( one with crazy ideas) . She hurt us and she hurt herself, too, just like the mom in this film. Sometimes I put it aside and happily get on with the rest of life's experiences. Sometimes I revisit it and get sad.
So beautiful and layered, the tangled web of how destructive delusion and betrayal can be, the catastrophic damage caused by polarizing and propagandizing. Handled with such grace…
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!
Sweet film and very good acting by the young men. The mom was played by Catherine Curtain - a well-established actress who played "mean guard" in Orange is the New Black, among other memorable roles. Nice to see her in this well-done indie short!
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 😢
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.
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!
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.
Same. Different situation, but same. Family is who you chose. This Trump/Qanon cult took people in a huge sweeping motion. I could talk about this topic for hours, but what it comes down to is our values: logic, compassion, human rights, and humanity. Won’t budge on them. 💙 Love you, friend.
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.
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.
Very moving film! The only part that tweaked me a little was the casting of Catherine Curtin, because I adore her as a performer and she seems like a fine human. So, part of me wanted Blake to stay and rescue her from the rabbit hole. Intellectually, I understood his choice and why it is valid for those who make it but … I’d have such a hard time with it. Alas, good art isn’t always pleasant, and good stories don’t require happy endings for everyone. Well done, all!
That's very kind of you to want that outcome. Sadly, I don't think it was a possibility. It's incredibly difficult to change the mind of someone who has been brainwashed. Notice how just the fact that he didn't embrace the beliefs himself made her kick him out. 😢
I’m with you. She’s a gem of a person and an incredible actor. I thought she brought a great humanity to the role, even though the ending was sad. Thanks for watching!
Excellent, excellent short film, truly! I'm so happy for the hopeful ending with Blake and Dom. I know it not real, yet I hope everything goes well with them in their futures together. 🌈❤️🙏
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!
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.
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 🙏🙏🙏
You're surely right that one shouldn't do it with important things, and not if you "have responsibility", and not all the time....But to do it sometimes, be spontaneous, go on a whim, can be fun...and inspiring...If you enjoy life without that it's fine, too!
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.
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.
Touching. Thank you for sharing. Wild that there are Trump voters who don't believe some of their fellow voters are this weird. They absolutely are. It made me so sad that him just being himself "broke her heart". Breaks my heart.
What a great movie, with all the maddening, saddening dramas of today in Trumpland U.S.A! Excellent acting by both mother and son and laterally, the new friend. And a remembrance of that insulting unscientific vaccine dialog in the early days of Covid when Trump was so insulting to doctors and scientists, which was then picked up by a certain contingent of the population. I remember small groups gathered near a super market every day, shouting their anti-vaccine theories. And remember, since he never clearly said who his physician was, we never found out which vaccine he was taking. Like his taxes, no one ever finds out about these things, which before ...and including President Biden, had been mandatory and given freely.
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.
Wonderful.. Please be true to yourself. Children think that they can rescue their parents from destructive behavior. His mother showed him by cutting the cord ,that she didn't need him.
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!
Some might say that they both reflect ways people cope with a fractured world-neither truly grounded or addressing the broader societal and personal dysfunctions they embody.
❤ This was whirlwind! It was Frustrating, Heartbreaking, and Infuriating! But, it was also Beautifully Sweet. Well done. Thank you, for the eye opening journey.☮️❤🌼
@@330pictures She’s insulted because she believes in that; your short was so researched, so exactly on point. I spent the last 18 months working with Trump supporters, anti-vaxers, Qanon “members”, trying to educate them with facts, logic and compassion…and I can tell you you nailed it, bullseye. The people who don’t like this short are the people who bought in those conspiracies. You did an amazing, amazing job. Took my breath away. Be extremely proud. It’s a sociopolitical masterpiece, and it will explain so much in decades/centuries to come about why we are where we are. 💙
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.
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.
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. ❤
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!
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

Or for some of us, straight up abuse.
This is a wonderful film! I am a retired mental health nurse, so I really appreciated the actress who played the mother! They all did a great job!! ❤

And they are now running the US. Well, shortly

I don't like how they portray the mom as a fruit loop because she doesn't believe all the BS surrounding covid.
Most of her dialogue is pulled directly from interviews and articles with Q folk. And I think Catherine did a wonderful job of bringing humanity to a role that could have been played for “crazy” for laughs.
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.

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.
To ‘choose’ the rabbit hole over your own flesh and blood. To turn away your own child on the word of a snake oil salesman.

We need this right now. Thank You filmmakers!
Wow! I didn't want the story to end! What a masterpiece!!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Thank you so much 😀
They got the Qanon wrong. Interesting to see the way people twist others points of view. Be kind.
Please tell me which parts. All the QAnon dialogue and segments were pulled from actual interviews and videos. Some dialogue is even verbatim.
Found the Trumper! 😂
@@330pictures She’s insulted because she believes in that; your short was so researched, so exactly on point. I spent the last 18 months working with Trump supporters, anti-vaxers, Qanon “members”, trying to educate them with facts, logic and compassion…and I can tell you you nailed it, bullseye. The people who don’t like this short are the people who bought in those conspiracies. You did an amazing, amazing job. Took my breath away. Be extremely proud. It’s a sociopolitical masterpiece, and it will explain so much in decades/centuries to come about why we are where we are. 💙

Enjoy your night! 😊
Looks like you are all in the minority, enjoy Trump for the next 4 years. ❤
this is most americans right now. the trump suppoters belive he will bring down prices but what hes planning to do will raise cost so much.
very sad, very beautiful, very realistic 😑🥰💙 thank you & greetings from Europe
thank you!
Fine film!
Thank you!
This country needs to get out of its own way.
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.
Loved this. Def could be made into a series! Thanks for the watch 🌸
Enjoyable watch, thank you 🫶
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.
How's the weather in Spain these days? Like the rain?
@EswenVRaedself Spain is a big place. Where I live is beautiful and sunny. Went swimming today.🌞
@@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.
Thank you so much for watching and for the kind words!
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.
Everything about this film is of perfection.❤❤❤❤ Love it..
This was a great short film, Aaron. I’m so glad I came across it.
Thanks so much for watching and for the comment!
Wow, this was really good! I am recommending this film to others.
Thank you Dina!
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.
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.
Hang in there! Be strong and stay true to your authentic self.
Phenomenal acting in this video
Such a beautiful film Aaron! Congrats to all involved
Thank you Doug!!!
WOW ‼️now that was REALLY close to home ,made me cry .
Very thought out and well made......reality
I liked it. There is hope.
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. ❤
This was beautiful and heart wrenching at once. ❤️
I want to know what happened... beautiful story...now for the series...
Great story, great acting!!
please make a movie. great short flim.
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!
A beautiful movie. ❤
The main character looks SO MUCH like the actor that plays Norman Bates!
Great film Aaron, congrats. Smart script, well done 👍
Thank you ZACK 🙏🏻
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
Best short film I’ve seen! Thank you! 🎉
Wow, thank you!
