- A man is forbidden from love.
NEON is used with permission from Mark J. Blackman. Learn more at mjblackman.com.
Elias is a man with a mysterious disfigurement and a strange power: he helps people meet and fall in love. But he's forbidden from falling in love himself.
Yet he does love a woman named Mary -- a modern, independent woman who has only known Elias over messages on dating sites and then over the phone. Frustrated with the parameters of their relationship, Elias can't tell Mary who he really is or why they can't meet. Stalked by a pair of mysterious men around the city, he decides to let Mary go and give her a chance at real love -- in the only way he can.
Writer-director Mark J. Blackman, along with producer Roxanne Holman, has crafted an audacious, noirish urban thriller about forbidden love that mixes ambitious storytelling with moody visual atmospherics to create an immersive, visceral world.
Combining stylistic elements of urban sci-fi/fantasy with an emotional heart of a modern love story, the film frames the narrative through what's essentially a break-up conversation, weaving in flashbacks to Elias's origins and background, revealing his fascinating truth as a character and teasing a world that melds elements of the supernatural with science fiction. The revealing, vulnerable voiceover contrasts with the panache of the visuals, which move with the pulse of a London dancefloor, complete with hyper-saturated colors and kinetic, fluid editing.
But the core of the film is the love story, brought to life by deft performances by lead actors Joe Absolom -- who British viewers may recognize from EASTENDERS -- and Kerry Bennett, who play the doomed lovers with both the hard-boiled edge of a thriller and the intensity of romantic passion.
When the past catches up to the present -- and Elias sets Mary free -- the film then shifts into full thriller mode, and its ultra-stylish visuals, editing and propulsive musical score collide into an epic, even operatic crescendo.
NEON packs a feature's worth of narrative into a short film, both in the writing and the production, and viewers will be left longing for some more time with the enigmatic, mysterious characters and world that Blackman has constructed. Impeccably crafted and cinematic on a scale that's rare for a short film, NEON is transportive and sweeping in look and feel. It easily tantalizes the eye with confidence and bravura -- but it also draws in the heart, making it all the more relatable and memorable.
One of the best twisted cupid stories I've ever seen. I Loved every single thing about this film.❤️
Renee Carr His love for her was Neon
Bright blue, brash and heart-pumping
when his eyes fell upon
this beauty the world was racing
running fast and chasing
two souls that fell without parachutes
into each other.

When less people watch but this short film is better than half of Hollywood produced 😂
Angels? Cupids as a lower cast of angels? It's well shot, great music, great story. The only thing I have a beef with is his professed love for the woman. How can that be if he has deprived her of other partners? That's no love, but he recognized the selfishness himself.
Deep and profound. Great message, superbly executed. Thank you.
Wow... Truly breathtaking. The imagery the story everything. Kept me on the edge of my seat with my heart pounding the whole time. Truly amazing work.

This is the best short theme I ever saw I cried to it and I was in shock and its good not good awsome
Fantastic sci fi short. Thanks, Omeleto.
So..it's not just what WE will do for love..or what we do for the ones we love
Others give( love)-( or have it taken) so that WE may love...
When he said “I bring people together”, I immediately knew. This was interesting, but I hate that I guessed it too soon.
Love moves in mysterious way !
Wow well done, and nicely has a start middle and finish.
Should have went with a pair of sick tattoos instead of the chicken wings but I loved the short movie ✌🏾😊
The WRIST tatoos matched,
Does anyone have the song
How does omeleto generates revenue with so less views.
Very city of angels I loved it
Interesting but not sure I understood it.
I don’t get it.
Wow. Where can I find my own handsome well-built hairy chested Angel/Cupid to fall in love with and he love me too?! ...This was a super short film!
Ahhhhh, what we do for love ...
Are those chicken wings glued on his back?
Dark Matters nah chicken wings to small.. they turkey wings 😂

Man gets married and starts to prepare for divorce.
I absolutely don't get it, but it was great!
aliens and angels are one and the same - they took human form and chose human women for wives...
I don't get this at all, can someone explain?
He died and was not headed to heaven. He was given an option other than hell, and that was to be a "cupid". Unfortunately, the primary rule was that he could not seek love. It looks like he met Mary prior to his death. He was probably her love match but because of his own choices left the world too soon for anything to come out of the meeting. He pursued her while he was a cupid and felt guilty for keeping her locked to a person she could never be with. Plus, he wanted more than just phone conversations and text messages. He was going to end his life and go to hell. Anything over the agony of not being allowed to be with his love. He was saved just in time by a pair of cupids who discovered a way to free love-struck cupids with heaven non the wiser. They clipped his wings, repaired him enough that a hospital could take over, and contacted Mary so that she would be waiting at the hospital.
@@mikochild2 Thank you so much! I needed a clarification too. Didn't get what the whole club thing was about until I read your post.

@@mikochild2 Many thanks, mikochild2. I got a lot of it, but I also missed quite a bit. The puzzle is much closer to complete now.
Was he an angel?
I watch this often. I’ve had a rather intense relation to it I suppose. And that has been from my very first watch. The other 50, well... I just still love it that much 💙😅 I just choose to ignore the chicken wing thing and enjoy the rest. I’m so curious though... was the chicken wing thing on purpose or was it just a poorly executed idea?
Hey Kayeden - they were deliberate as they're meant to represent Elias' impotence, and are basically a cruel joke by the 'powers that be' (who, in our film's world, deny him/these beings the big, beautiful, functioning wings you'd usually associate with 'cupids'). Glad you like the film either way! :)
@@roxanneholman8841 he WAS an " angel" because he WASN'T " chicken"
@@juniperabbott2614 Angel or Cupid. Either way what a handsome well-built hairy chested Angel/Cupid he is!!!
@@roxanneholman8841Thank you for sharing your story with us, Roxanne. I liked the impotence idea as soon as I saw it.
I'm still not clear on things.
1) when they kill themselves, what happens?
2) How did she find him?
3) How did he survive the gun shot?
Not his chicken wings!
Good 👍
👏👏👏
a poor cupid
Luckiest Cupid Ever!

Quite an unexpected twist. A devil who thought he was an angel ! Not unreal if you think about it. And what a middle and end twist after twist ... I can feel the writer's mind
This is about the fall of Lucifer and the other fallen angels
"Free Cupid!" Harry Tubman yells with his fist raised in solidarity. I rub my 1 year chip and silently mouth, "Am I not a angel AND a lover?"

It’s getting ridiculous
It’s still ridiculous. Just come on your own. Or forget it. Time to move on.
Come on your own forget about them. I really don’t care. Or you won’t get one more step from me. Time to cough it up.
🛀🏻 🐝 👇🏻 ⏰ R lol
That wasn’t a smart move. I’ll tell you that much. But if that’s who you are at least I know now.
Reminds me of me😔
Why did cupid even sign up on the damn site?
Noel G he probably knew shed end up on the sight after ruining all her potential bfs because she would be desperate to find someone like she said on the phone to him. He knew that he could contact her by doing it this way. And then he also regretted it and told her how he is selfish and it couldn’t happen anyway so he needed to end it all.
Good story. But I hate music videos inserted into narratives. It’s so common I can’t single out this be as so many do it. But it’s annoying to me
Idealizing suicide is extremely dangerous and it’s just not responsible. This should be pulled.
dude it is a reborn not a suicide
Malex R yea sure sure cool cool this is bad it’s dangerous and irresponsible.
For you mate, for you. There is a lot of people who understand what is it. So go, go watch something less...dangerous and irresponsible, pepapig perhaps hahahaha
It’s not idealizing suicide. They actually depict it as a bad decision.
Also, stories should be allowed to use suicide as a story element, especially since they’re not glorifying it.
