I was told to "shut my face" when trying to participate in any of the "ME TOO" discussions because I was a man. This made me relive some of the emotions long suppressed because of society's view of what constitutes sexual assault. This film was very well conceived and presented. Kudos for all of your incredible and sensitive work. The manner of this film, which has very little spoken language, makes it function well in any language. The subtleness of the actors' portrayals and the journey upon that which the script takes the viewer was nothing short of brilliant. Thank you to all involved.
Unfortunately that is what the MeToo movement has turned into; a fight between men and women. When they say “believe women” they also say “don’t believe men”, which is not what MeToo is about. MeToo isn’t gender specific, it’s about systematic assaults on a workplace. Yes the first people to wave that flag was women, but what makes people think that men can’t be subjected to physical/mental/sexual abuse? I find it very strange and almost laughable, that female MeToo activists (the extremists) often also claims, to fight for gender equality. But i do believe that the number of close minded people will become lower in the future. There are luckily still women today that doesn’t condone that type of automatic criminalizing of men or the belittling of your/their pain and traumas. I am one of them.
@@natasjaromain376 Thank you! I just made a comment up above and I said, it's humans sexually assaulting other humans. Some of them like to assault girls and women and some of them like to assault boys and men. I honestly have no knowledge of the numbers of female and male assault victims but that is a separate point it seems to me. Whether men and boys are assaulted more or less it doesn't change the trauma that the survivers experience one bit and every one of them should be supported and cared about, whether they be male or female. This separation and antagonism between male and female survivors makes no sense and is harmful to everybody involved!
@@natasjaromain376 Back in my twenties I worked in an medical electronics plant while attending university. Employees comprised of three hundred and sixty five (365) woman and seventeen (17) males. Sexual harrassment of the males by female staff was out of control, and happened from the management on down. I took the absolute worst job in the factory because I could be out of sight and out of mind. The job paid well but hassel wasn't worth it.
I rescued a man who was being sexually assaulted by street women in NYC. A corporate type, probably a tourist, youngish, I stood guard in front of him as he put his clothes back on. He was in shock, just wanted to talk about sports. There are times when I think of him and wish him well.
Thank you for this amazing short film. There needs to be an understanding that this is a real issue and much more common then people/society would like to admit.
I am 58 yo male in assisted living and leaving AL due to sexual assault. I was sexually assaulted as a child. The most recent was most terrible. The assailant was a hundred pound woman and I am 220 man with ALS and in wheelchair
I found myself amazed at the complexity of this piece. At first, I thought this was going to turn into a boy-meets-boy romantic film as both Brian Rosenkranz and Michael Weißmüller had the typical opposites attract vibe going for them coupled with the split screening going on for their morning to afternoon routine(s). It wasn't until the strange look on Mr. Rosenkranz's face at the basketball court that I didn't realize something was up. Kudos for not only the zinger when they reached the same door in the building, and the sign outside that summed it all up that this was a PSA message for something very much unspoken in both the LGBT community as well as the male population that sexual abuse does indeed not discriminate. Good job... there still needs to be more messages like this in the world to help those that think it makes a man less of a man to admit that they suffered from this form of abuse.
It took me 30 years to say out loud what had been done to me in my youth. The silence in this film conveys everything Men cannot. Nothing will change until it becomes socially acceptable to speak of this subject. Nothing. Bab's song 'Pieces of Dreams' always helps me when the crying and the storms begin. I hope it may help others too.
Male sexual assault is the victim of its own silence. The whole "boys don't cry" and "It can't happen to us, we're strong" attitude leads to shame and silence when it does happen. The use of silence in this film was just perfect. It brought the message home... very loudly.
The directing is excellent. There are a good many clues in character behavior and body language that reads an unspoken dialog. Like in the morning, where they dress, like preparing for battle, armour on, war paint, plaster on a smile, then go out and deal with it. They're battle hardened. The body language in the counseling circle spoke reems about the characters: Defensive, injured, vulnerable, "I'm not like you', resigned, or surrendered.
We all have our own stories to tell, but this was such an amazing representation of the silence surrounding sexual abuse committed against boys and men. Such a beautiful piece of cinematic art. Thank you.
We never know who it happens to. Most men never dare to speak of it. Doesn't matter if you're straight or gay...the experience can send a fellow into such a deep dark lost place in his soul that in time he forgets on the surface what really happened. Then decades later something can unexpectedly trigger his memory & he almost dies, literally physically suffers along with the emotional hell that so quickly rushes back to his conscious mind. At this critical time, he has nowhere to run to escape it & no one who can help him. But after days & days of conscious agony he finds a little doorway back into life. He's still in pain but coping ever so slowly with the experiences that once killed off a big part of his mind. Finally, he finds just the right person to share with. This might be the first time he's ever let go & cried & screamed & cussed. The person he shares with becomes 1 of the most important people in his life, even if he's known that person for years or even his entire life. He starts to get better then & can grow & heal & be OK with every inch of his soul. ...Gentlemen, things get better...I promise. We're never to blame...it was those who hurt us that carries the blame & should be destined to carry the mental torment, pain, & hell. ...I pray for all of us who have suffered this way. God thinks we're just fine. I'm almost 64 years old now & have the best life possible.
The experience changes the course of one's life. You don't forget it, doesn't go away because you ignore it. The memory comes sits with you forever. In time you grow a new body around it, you learn to live with it. And, the weight of it doesn't drown you anymore. But it's still there, it's always there.
@@patrickmaloy5262 Well said, Patrick. We do build new lives & in time the weight of it all becomes less. As you say, we can't forget what happened due to what it was that happened...but we learn to live inside a mind that becomes free & clear of the strain. I've led a great life for a great many years & have been happy with family, friends, lovers, & especially the blessed love of my life who helped to create a world of peace, comfort, & satisfaction beyond my expectations. Thank you for replying...your words help all other men dealing with these assaults in their past & even some who've endured these assaults recently. From us they can all learn how good fulfilling lives are possible. I wish you & everyone the best always.
@@curtischildress9580 The meaning and the purpose behind some of the experiences in my life's journey are unknowable. This is the ultimate test of our faith. We must trust that everyone in life is here to learn different lessons at different times, that good and bad experiences are only the perceptions of man. Some of my worst experiences have turned out to be my best learning experience, a nexus, a shift, a closing of one chapter and an opening of another. Molding, sculpting, developing within me a sensitivity that colors decisions that send me in directions that impact an ultimate destiny.
I might add that my journey has been facilitated by a host of psychiatrists, therapists, with EMDR therapy being especially helpful for the PTSD. I bless each and every one of the hundreds who have patiently listened to me in group therapy. Had I not been sexually assaulted, I can't imagine what my life would look like.
I don't think anyone should forget any experience that happens in their lives especially the bad for it's the bad in which we grow. Sexual assault definitely changes the direction of ones Life I think the important thing to remember is whether or not we let it change it for the worse or the better. We can not control what happens to us in life however we can control how we let it affect us. That is where our true power is found.
I know after so many comments you probably won't see this but DAMN! I'm shook to my core. I'm sitting here crying as I write you. I did not expect this to be what it was. Great storytelling, world building, tension building, commentary, and reveal. And the cinematography, editing, and sound were A+ I went in totally blind, it just came up on my feed and I clicked on it in curiosity. I loved the two guys doing the exact same thing and seeming to be very different at the same time. Common humanity. Then as their parallel lives get closer and closer to each other I felt tension because I thought that there was going to be conflict and prejudice between them. Then, oh my, then when they met at the door and when I saw the sign, I literally gasped and called out loud. It hit me right in my gut like a punch. And the final scene of them in all their different postures of sadness and obvious trauma was absolutely heartbreaking and yet beautiful because they were all there to heal. I, at 58 years old, am just now opening my eyes to the lifelong effect my sexual assault experience has had on me. I am beginning to see so many ways my mind and actions have been informed by it. The strange and so hurtful idea that it's only women who experience sexual assault is baffling to me. Humans experience this from other humans. My older cousin didn't care whether he did what he did to a girl or a boy. He just manipulated the child that was in front of him at the time. Thank you.
What a beautiful short film!! I love the dichotomies between the two characters. The split scenes. Then transition to one as they both converge. Brilliant concept. Fantastic message. Little dialogue. Amazing short film 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This was incredibly powerful. As one who, unfortunately, relates to Michael and Brian, the silence, the ritualization and routine in their attempts at achieving what is perceived as normality, only masks so much. Bravo for a most moving depiction of an ugly reality of our world and doing it with art and beauty.
London calling. Thank you for sharing this powerful message . Along time ago I to was SA by both man & woman but had nowhere to go to tell anyone. For my part I liked the way they both wanted to be clean to shower, clean clothes ,teeth cleaning . As this is very important for anyone that has been our position.
We need to make noise! They can only ignore us if we are silent. SHOUT IT! (whatever it is) I mean this with love and support, not condemning meanness. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍
Very good! Congratulations, for the theme, script and direction of actors. Relevant and urgent matter. The complicity between the actors is a high point of the film; in what there is of proximity and divergences. I loved!

Also handled it subtle enough not to distract from the production. Which I really enjoyed. The Shots were well compositioned. I'm curious what led to the scene of comparing the Basketball Playing Cool guy to the rather particular Bookworm type.
I'm guessing to show any type of guy can be the subject of sexual assault. I don't like the word victim myself. Being a child of sexual assault the victim mentality is not one I like.
I did not see that coming, wow. Great film. Digs down into our common humanity as men that is often overlooked, especially men who have suffered sexual assault. Men often hide that wound and feel if they speak about it the will be considered weak or queer.
Étrange ce court métrage. Pratiquement jusqu'à la fin je me suis demandé ce qui allait se passer vraiment. Il y avait plusieurs fins possibles mais jamais je ne me serais attendu à celle-ci. Et je trouve que c’est vraiment un très bon scénario.
loving ❤😂this the simplicity of being a Man. I remember how easy this was when I was a young Man.. “C’estala vie” as I am now learning that I am older 😐 Very well made
This film spoke to me on many levels. Successful as a short tale. The final location was a bit North American for me; although my first apt inNYC was at 220 Mad Ave. All said...BRAVO!
Aprendo la importancia de los grupos de ayuda, en este buen cortometraje, se presenta la continuidad de la vida, con las actividades cotidianas y la ayuda profesional, nuestra responsabilidad es mejorar, las dificultades en la vida existen y debemos buscar ayuda para continuar.
This was really beautiful. The entire time, I kept wondering what would bring them 'together' but I could tell that it wouldn't be in the romantic sense. And then they got to the doors outside the meeting and it's like they became completely different people. They did such a good job portraying their vulnerability and hurt with just their expressions, as did the other actors with their few seconds of screentime. It just goes to show that anyone can be a victim and people carry so much more inside than is visible on the surface. Many years ago, I had a friend who was a victim of sexual assault. I was the only one that he felt he could tell because he didn't think anyone else would believe him but I didn't feel like I was enough. I didn't know what to do or say to help him. We fell out of contact as time passed but he crosses my mind often and I wonder if he somehow found a way to heal. I hope that he did.
Something so attractive about the “alpha male”, “bad boy” Stereotype gay boys love, yet so destructive but like all “male characteristics” is balanced with a feminine energy (communication-talking about one’s story). But a lovely story with a interesting, thought provoking ending.
I had just moved to central California and had an evening off work, so went for a walk , by myself, on a beach late night. I was attacked by four men who held a knife to my throat as they took turns with me. The last guy told me he was going to slit my throat as he climaxed, because he heard it was “intense”. I blocked everything out but the sound of the waves and waited for my life to end. The sound of waves crashing can still trigger 48 years later.
Wow!! Amazing film which I can relate!! I was sexually assaulted in the military, and even though it was over 30 year's ago, it's still fresh in my mind!!

powerful. painful thought-provoking. Much more effective than a wordy explanation. I relate personally to this, deeply affecting.
This was really beautiful. The entire time, I kept wondering what would bring them 'together' but I could tell that it wouldn't be in the romantic sense. And then they got to the doors outside the meeting and it's like they became completely different people.

It just goes to show that anyone can be a victim and people carry so much more inside than is visible on the surface.
Many years ago, I had a friend who was a victim of sexual assault. I was the only one that he felt he could tell because he didn't think anyone else would believe him but I didn't feel like I was enough. I didn't know what to do or say to help him. We fell out of contact as time passed but he crosses my mind often and I wonder if he somehow found a way to heal. I hope that he did.
Excelente corto, no esperaba ese final, me conmvio verlos, vulnerables, exitoss
Really enjoyed this short film. We can never judge a book by its cover. Just my 1 cent
thank you! very lovely film 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Very effective short film. Loved it.
Part 2, please!
Something so attractive about the “alpha male”, “bad boy” Stereotype gay boys love, yet so destructive but like all “male characteristics” is balanced with a feminine energy (communication-talking about one’s story). But a lovely story with a interesting, thought provoking ending.
This absolutely so powerful and heartbreaking!
Muy bueno. Felicitaciones!!!
I had just moved to central California and had an evening off work, so went for a walk , by myself, on a beach late night. I was attacked by four men who held a knife to my throat as they took turns with me. The last guy told me he was going to slit my throat as he climaxed, because he heard it was “intense”. I blocked everything out but the sound of the waves and waited for my life to end. The sound of waves crashing can still trigger 48 years later.
