“alright now I can get back to work”
*starts reading newspaper*
the little boy was sent as a reminder of his son...he died yes,,but he came to save the man and his son's relationship
Good one. I loved it
Ummm....so glad you explained that...
P Lucas Be nice.
@@sawyerpoet YOU are free to suffer fools all you like. I am free to distain people who state the obvious. Nice is overrated.
P Lucas I know I’m free to suffer fools and I usually don’t, but being nice has its place - at times. You never know with whom you’re dealing, especially online. For instance, I could easily make a snarky comment about you not knowing that the word you chose is “disdain,” not “distain.” But I’ll be nice.
For everyone confused about the Ghost Boy.
He asks "Do you have a son?" And then finds out that his neighbor lost her son and family.
The boy's purpose was to make him feel guilty about abandoning his gay son, and maybe his son used to play baseball with him too, until he came out to his dad.
I think the dad realized that he may not have his son forever, or vice versa, and he wanted to make amends.
That’s an awesome explanation
When the dad realized his neighbor had lost her son forever, he realized that he could too, unless he made amends.
I'm more curious about the ghost boy than the father's homophobia...and I feel badly for the woman having lost her husband & son.
Yeah, what about the ghost boy and his ability to manifest.....
@@nomebear Maybe it's Casper the Friendly Boy. Y'know, we really don't know that much about Casper BEFORE he became a famous ghost. I think there's a story there.
I didn't understood this that way.... To me the boy has 2 dads, and the neighboor wasn't expecting that so when he get the baseball stuff he goes giving them to the woman (propably the only woman in his neighborhood ?) because he actually believed she was the kid's mom ? Plus, we can see a moving truck at the beginning so that would mean the kid's family is new in the neighborhood, that would be why nobody knows kid's family is a 2 dads family and would explain why the man goes giving baseball stuff to the woman
Very emotional! And done by high school students - Bravo!
Kid: do you wanna play catch?
Man: *No, not really*
It's pretty sweet how the quality is so amazing but you can still tell it's a home project. Somebody has experience with a camera!
It is kinda like some episode in Icarly. Carly, Sam and Freddie went to a space thing and so Spencer was alone, and when he was alone he saw visions of a little girl that reminded him of Carly.
I REMEMBER THIS
I don’t remember that ever happening...
Some strange guy is returning your dead son's possessions that you're sure he never had access to, and you don't ask more questions than that? Kind of weird...
Can we just talk about how this guy is some kind of necromancer?
A classic Karen.
I think a more climactic end to the conflict would have been for the dad to look back on pictures of his son as a kid and for it to be the little boy with the glove.
That would actually have been genius!
Yeah but that wouldn’t make too much sense, the mom said that both the boy and the dad died
That would kinda mean they would have to take out the mom from the video, otherwise it wouldn’t make sense
It would have made for a much better acceptance and rekindling. This video just kind of fell short of potential.
I don't agree.
Realizing by watching old photos is perhaps a more _realistic_ way to depict the change process, but the visualization would be kind of boring. In a film, a magical metaphore is more interesting and gives more interaction and acting. Without this part of the plot, the film would only have one actor and a lot of the film story would only take place inside his head...
Very touching film, on realizing the error of your ways.
My mother needed a long time to come around. Sometimes people need time to accept it. It's not always fair to expect unconditional acceptance right away.
Stephen Costello yes it is! you expect to be understood and accepted mostly by the people that gave you a birth rather than others!! And it ends always on the contrary! Is this fair?
Sinclopus what could I say. I am taking it as it comes as I am older and had no role models like the "kids" today. Now that time has passed and my mother treats us well, I regret lashing out at her when it all went down. That is just how I feel now. BTW, yesterday was our 35th anniversary and my mother is home now knitting a pocketbook for our granddaughter. Whatever....
You are right, Stephen. I took my parents a while too. It was worth the wait.
everybody accepts their kid being straight unconditionally right away?? so yeah actually a child being gay shouldn't affect a parent's love for them
Yeah why would a gay person want to be loved by their parents right away, so annoying how they want acceptance for for something that wasn’t their choice right away🙄 like give the parents some time to figure out what they’re gonna do with themselves now that LITERALLY NOTHING is gonna change.
This deceptively simple story is profoundly powerful. It is so well-produced on film. Bravo and thanks to the kids who made it.
These kids deserve recognition given our current toxic political environment! Can't believe someone hasn't picked up on it yet!
Why did I get sucked into a hole of short films?
Mega Playz maybe you needed a message in here.
Maybe you needed to cry to let bottled up emotions out........oh wait that's why I'm here in a hole of short films
TheSmileyWaffle right! WTH
Same!
Who has a living room sofa outside
EA Crafties this man apparently
You were joking right?
Ever heard of outdoor furniture
Luis Sanchez right 😂😂
In warm, dry climates its not unusual....and in the less affluent areas in England.
Its not unusual to see a fake leather sofa and a fridge in the yard
Although I realize that this movie has an LGBT theme, what really stood out to me in this film was more the utter unfriendliness and downright rudeness of the american anglos. After living most of my adult life in Mexico where people are just soooo different, at times when I return to the US, this is exactly how I find the anglo population to be, as portrayed in this movie. An excellent portrayal of a sad reality!
I agree with you, my experiences especially. Estoy de acuerdo contigo, mis experiencias especialmente.
Although it's sad to hear about your bad experiences in US, there's no need for that kind of sweeping generalization, I think.
@@1arttu well, if you are an anglo, be friendly, be tolerant, be patient, be humble, and help give the anglos a good reputation.
Excellent! Perhaps the people who need to see it . . . will see it. Love is love, always.
One of the best shorts I have seen in a while. Bravo
Terrific. This was very well acted, and a superbly told story. Excellent and memorable among all the thousands of videos on RUclips!
I'm typing this before I could even finish the movie. I love thissss ❤
Me too! Gave me goose bumps!
Lama Pajama Rightttt!! Im loving this!! Whoever made it is a genius!!
The Valencia high school students should be very proud of their work. Great script and great acting. Do they ever do live plays?? 👍🏻😎👍🏻🌈
Apatently nobody answers questions around here.
@@rustyalcorta3643 truuu
Ya they do
This little. Boy is an angle from heaven helping him❤️
Very moving. I never got the call from my father myself. But I have a wonderful life with my own family, still.
For a moment I thought something was going to happen where Casper had a crush on him.
Thanks Kyle...it's Christmas Eve and I am in tears and sooooo happy to have just watched this touching poignant film. It was wonderful in every way. You have a wonderful talent and I hope I can see more films by you....
I'm not crying, it's just allergies XD I'm alergic to emotions
A lot of deep thought went into this. Thank you for helping me feel and sense a small portion of the lessons being taught here.
Wow this was soooooo powerful that little boy was an angel sent as a reminder of his son. Did you see the look on his face when the little boy asked did he have a son that woke him up. As a gay male I'm so glad that woke him up and he decided to reach out to his child. You only get one life make the best of it and make the best decisions possible to make it easier, even tho life itself isn't easy. We don't get 9 lives.
This is amazing, how could it not have more views ?
Think this ought to brought to the attention of the bigger wigs as this is not only powerfully beautiful, but well done and these kids that made this show incredible talent!
“Do you still like baseball ⚾️?” B/c a ghost 👻 guy moved in next door and he wants to play baseball ⚾️.
These short films are always thought' provoking and leave me wanting more.

Coming Home - LGBTQ Short Film
Me:
Yes.
Beautiful!
Beautiful short film. The conversation between the Dad and the son at the end was heartfelt and realistic.
Great Movie
I am blown away by your talent! The depth of this amateur film is amazing! Well done!
What a weeper, and I mean that in the best possible way. I think I am going to need 2 tissues to dry my eyes.
I needed a box!
If the boy didn’t exist then how did the man have the glove and ball 🤔 spooky 😨
Omg the last sentence got me
Me too! Wow! Great tie in!
I choked up. Lovely film. Well done. 😢
Outstanding work, well done, excellent message.
Absolutely touching, loved it!!!!
"Now I can get some work done" proceeds to read the newspaper.
I wish it could be a whole movie or even something longer would hv been great.
4:13 Ann Coulter!
LMAO I'm not the only one who sees that 😂😂😂
If it was Ann Coulter, there would have been a broom parked in the driveway.
Ann Coulter would never wear a flannel shirt.
when they showed the pictures from the wedding I started crying :( so sad but the ending is nice
An excellent film. The little boys presence is up to interpretation. I would like to think that the little boy reminded the older man of lost opportunities where his son is concerned,
If you like this, while not the same subject matter, it is about relationships, you'll love the short film "Brother" by Sean Treacy. It's superb. Not to be confused with "Brotherly"
Love Rules!
If anyone want idea for making apps or want stories for making short films or movies please say I will give friends
Excellent - need to hear this more often.
200. Wow what an amazing shorty..love love love it ..it reseignated with me

Geez... This reminds me of when I came out to my parents when I was just eleven, they were mad and yelled at me. Our relationship was terrible until I turned thirteen, they are starting to accept me. They are trying to understand, they have so much to improve but they're trying and that's what matters.
Give your parents some time
Very sweet. Father turns out to be a gentle bear
wonderful short film, however can I suggest adding subtitles for those who have trouble hearing? I had to put the laptop to my face to hear the little boy's voice and also with the phonecall
"it's been so long since..."
*FNaF music intensifies*
A beautiful story about love.
Wow, this was powerful. The only critique, and it has nothing to do with the content, is that it would have been far more visually aesthetic had a cinematic look been applied to the footage. It was too crisp and clear. I’m guessing it was filmed in 4K, which is great for filming...but a nice cinematic filter would have added such warmth and realism to the film. Just my opinion. That you guys did this in high school is phenomenal. Wonderful, wonderful job. Five stars!!!!
Wow did not expect this to happen
The acting of the man is unbelievable, should honestly have an acting career. But as far as the kid being a ghost, I don’t know, to me I feel as though it takes something away from the film. Still great though 👍
I agree, I get that the boy was supposed to be a reminder of his son but I think it would've been better without him at all. Maybe the man just seeing a baseball in his yard or opening the letter before any of that. It would've made more sense to me but I liked this version nonetheless.
Light-hearted and deep short film. Sometimes it takes a total stranger to point out what is really important in life and that family is something too precious to risk. At first I thought the boy was Andrew or the type of son Howard always wanted. That was the one part of the plot that is hard to understand. Nevertheless the story is a touching one.
Wonderful piece, reminds me of my Dad
Beautyful💋💙🌎👍🔺😃💕🌟💫LINDO
How do videos like this get filtered onto my phone? And why now? I haven't ever heard of this before. Thanks again for the profound impact of the message.
Well done, very touching & thanks for sharing . Hope you guys do more great films :-)
Intensely BEAUTIFUL
Wow. Very moving!
Very cool..
A great proctologist’s and surgeon “ Dr Klatt” once told me “ I don’t understand the love between to gay men who hurt each other’s body’s and call it love “ oh by the way he was a atheist also so he had no religion to hinder his opinion. Did Son’s ever stop to think we parents don’t want to celebrate the physical destruction of our sons anatomy. Two great proctologist’s have give me patients testimony on this kind of relationship.
This is really powerful
Damn tearjerker. Great short film.
I made a similar thing in 2015 for a school project only the boy was in a coma and had dreamt everything
EXCELLENT.
Ghost boy returns from the neighborhood with one of his new gay friends and wants to hang out at the guys house. And history repeats itself.
This is really good. Different perspective than most LGBT films, very good take, and great storytelling
OMG
I Just crying like a babe
This is so intense and switty
Thks for this one
OMFG IM CRYING
Beautifully well done👏👏
An excellent effort - very touching
5:18 yO WE HAVE THE SAME REMOTE HOLLAAAA SON
Beautiful!!
No, comment-reading, I am not crying - you're crying.
Magnificent!!
Omg i didn't realize that was his dad
Powerful nine minutes!
This is beautiful ❤
Beautiful. Thankyou.
what was the point of the kid being dead
akaGOLDFINGER dads care though because they feel like they done bad at parenting and it makes them feel ashamed. Even though people are born that way and straight people fail to realize that
Exactly my thoughts too! Powerfully done!
Exactly! Very powerful!
well said akaGOLDFINGER!
It was a nod to the fathers son who's still alive but kinda dead to him because he's gay, but comes around to his reality. Very poignant I think....
