My obsession with LGBTQ+ short films is crazy
This made me cry at the end :')
awww. Thanks for watching our film all the way to the end!!!! So glad you love the genre as much as we do!
@@arthousefilms no problem :) I was waiting all day to watch this since I saw it in my recommendations but I was extremely busy
Same
Same I am obsessed with lgbtq+ short films I watch at least five a day
haha I couldn't stop smiling for the whole kite scene
Riley looks so much like clairooo she’s so pretty
That's interesting! We can definitely see the resemblance! drive.google.com/file/d/1p4LYudXFTfC1c4QrJzhUa0J4cdjPfZNv/view?usp=sharing
Omfg i thought im the only one who notice it....ahhh gay
righttt

This girl more beautiful than she
Hello lesbians, LGBTQ+ supporters, Gay guys, Bisexuals, Pansexuals and People who felt bad for Riley in the beginning. I think you all are wonderful and if anyone says otherwise, they are simply lying to you and are probably jealous of you.
Edit: I stan Britta's dad

Awww you are so sweet
Wish you a life filled with happiness
@@fazetta You too!!! TYSM!!!
@@didi8802 💕
ahh i cried when riley and britta kissed! i honestly love this so much, it's not one of those cheesy kind of films, which is what makes it a lot better. it's just more realistic in a way than a lot of others. this is awesome
🙂🙂🙂Thanks for such a thoughtful and positive comment!! We are thrilled that you liked it!
RUclips BEBE Noelia 🌈🦋🦋😃😃📲
I'm meeting directioners all over youtube and I totally agree with you
Is that a sistah Directioner I see??
Well done. Gay shorts are getting better all the time. Positivity is prevailing more and more.....a welcome cultural shift. Love the S.F. setting here and the yellow house is stunning. Good contrast with Grandpa. Kudos to everyone.
Peggy, thanks so for watching!! That is a great point about positivity! Little by little, the creative community is chipping away at the hurful stereotypes. We really appreciate your encouraging comment!!
Idk why but the dog line got me laughing so hard-
I absolutely loved it!! When her grandpa started singing with her and when they kissed I cried a bit, it's been a long time since a short film made me so emotional, this really hit close to home :')
That is so awesome to hear!!!!!! We love that you enjoyed our film!! Your comment will be shared with the cast and crew and will be a nice start to their day!
Me too cry in the end
I loved this so much! I realized that her grandpa has dementia and it made me tear up
Thanks for checking out the film. Yeah, that Grandpa had a pretty sad situation.
The “I don’t have a dog” killed me. Shows how much Mason pays attention
O’Flannigan predicted the magic of the kite and now Riley and Britta are together!
I fell in love with my best friend. She's afraid her mother will disown her if she finds out she's gay so my friend stopped talking to me. I miss her. I'm broken 💔
That is so sad! Thanks for sharing!! It's crazy that falling in love is an issue for people outside of the relationship. Your story has a lot of elements that are very similar to our other film called "A Girl From Beacon Ridge." ruclips.net/video/6kHjhSxsLqQ/видео.html
Ok
Marisolmarquez01 nice 👧 face and nice hier and I am Saudi 👧 💘 face 👧
I freaking love this! Amazing actors and its plot is so unique and interesting. 10/10 👏
Wow!!! Thanks so much for the feedback!!! Yes, we really lucked out with the actors... and music! Thanks for your encouragement!!!!!!!!
@@arthousefilms I'm curious to known the last line Haha 😆! Bdw Nice movie 👍
@@blink7265The last line used to be Britta saying “it’s just a kite”. And then the credits started. The meaning was that there was no magic and that the only force in play was love. But we decided to leave it more ambiguous.
@@arthousefilms🤩 OH It's really A perfect movie !! Keep going 🙌🙌
I guess it was magic it brought them together
First of all
That " I Don't own a dog "
Had all Kara Danvers vibes to it😆
Second :
The punchlines had me Rollin'🤩
Great writing
Lastly : Background music 🎶
Kudos 🙌to the Team
It was simple innocent hopeful with all the right feels ♥️♥️
Haha!! Yep. You are the first person to mention that dog line. And yes, it does have a Kara Danvers vibe!
you mean dc supehero girls 2019 kara?
@@theartoonnerdologist411 No I mean Kara Zor-El from Krypton who lost her planet and was sent to Earth and her pod got knocked off-course......Yes I mean SUPERGIRL 😆 ...
(SORRY I HAD TO 😆😆🤩)
@@theartoonnerdologist411 Exactly.
oh yeah the dog episode with ace and krypto one of my faves from season 1
When she poured the alcohol out I felt pain
I loved how literally the entire day was so fucked up
that’s probably why my gf told me we’re never really safe out outside
This is a masterpiece, just like the sunset vibes and that kiss, B E A U T I F U L
That is so nice to hear. Thanks for your feedback!!!
@@arthousefilms Yeah no problem it was awesome!
This is my second time watching a short film and I'm absolutely in love with the plot development.
Wow. You are so awesome to check out our film!!
Why I'm crying now! It made me remembered when I was 18 years old and that straight girl I have ever loved.
Btw, I love the last cute smile on Riley's face!!! It's a super awesome film!
[an audience from Taiwan :))]
Ahhh. Thanks for sharing! We are so glad you liked the movie... and Riley's cute smile. Originally, there was another line of dialogue after that smile. But the smile was so sweet, we decided to end it right there. It's cool that you are in Taiwan!
@@arthousefilmswhat was the line? I would love to know!!
@@sydsknees In the original script, the kite gets jerked out of Riley's hand and blows away and Riley says "The Kite!"
@@arthousefilmshaha! that would’ve been fun to end off on. i think this ending is a much better fit!!
Me too cry in the end
Damn Riley's character is so beautiful
Watching this, I wish with all my heart I had LGBTQA+ series growing up, it would have cleared so many things and made me so happy to remember now that I discovered myself more
That kite really 𝘪𝘴 magical. It brought them together.
The way Riley realized what's imp to her the way of represented the both girls characters super good its really coming age teen good one
I wish a fabulous rest of the year to all the guys gals and non-binary pals
💚
❤️
🧡
this film is so cute. it's not like one of the other stories with cliché plot and cringy acting
Coool!! We are delighted you appreciated our film!!! Thanks for the encouraging feedback!!
This film has it all! Teen angst with a happy, loving ending! Plus, chase scenes and flying kites. Another impressive film from filmmaker Kirk Demorest. A lot of power is packed into this one and it's as special as Riley's birthday!
I love the actor who played her grandpa.
Thanks so much! That’s great to hear. We will send him your comment!
Thanks much Benjamyn, it really means a lot to me. From the guy who played O'flannagan.
@@alliner9854 omg! Yes. I really liked your portrayal of what seemed like a really difficult character. It was the only time that I forgot that it was scripted. For so many different character elements to jeep track of, it came out really natural, believable, and likeable. I'm so glad to know you saw my comment cause you did a really great job!
@@ClovertheUnburnt Thanks very much.
@@alliner9854 of course!
I A-D-O-R-E this little cinematographic gem! A simple and moving story. Good sense of humour. Two excellent and beautiful actress. Two girls who discover they're in love with each other. So rich in emotions. Very good choice of music. We just finished to watch this movie that we want to watcht it again and again and again. From now on, this bullion is on my favorite list!
Wow!!! That is such a supportive and welcomed comment!! Thanks so much for checking out our film. Your comment will be sent to the cast and crew and they will be so happy that you enjoyed their work!! Your encouragement really means a lot to us!!!!!!!!
“Maybe Masons not your type” YOU’RE RIGHT BRITTA KNOCK SOME SENSE INTO HER GET YO GIRL WHOO
😂 🤣 😂 🤣
How can her family forget her birthday?! In our family we celebrate throughout the day and week!
Yep. It's pretty sad. But some people get blinded by life's distractions!
@@arthousefilms I have a book dedicated to family, friends and co-workers important dates especially birthdays. For families and close friends I go extra when their special arrives. You think they don't want you to make a fuss but they do! Small details of loved ones shows you care no matter how small or grand the gestures.
@Terry I agree! But sometimes when people really care, they always find a way to show it.
same! my bday is nov 8 but we start at nov 1
@@bellalee5954 That's awesome!
britta saying that riley went all mama bear to get her phone back has to be the cutest thing i've ever heard
🥺
That kiss was so powerful✨
Aww! Thanks for checking it out!!
@@arthousefilms no problem
Messaging for LGBTQ+ inclusivity is so important. So inspired to continue producing more LGBTQ+ content for my channel!
The end warmed so much my heart. Ig O'Finnigan was right, what she wanted was someone who cared and loved her really, and that's what she discovered she had with Britta, flying the kite.
So beautiful, emotional, kind and powerful, really !
Thanks so much!! It means a lot to us that you appreciated our film! Your comment will be shared with the whole crew!
@@arthousefilms you're welcomen it's really great !
this is the cutest short film everrrrrr!!!!!!!
Riley and Britta are the sweetest!
Wow!! Thanks so much!!!!! We are so happy you enjoyed it !! 😍😊
"i dont have a dog" bestest line
im gay btw
This short film makes me remember, when you dream of something and it happens everything you can imagine in one day xD 🤣
Hey!! Cool comment!! You are the first person to mention the fact that it is all in one day!! Thanks so much for watching our film!!!
Such a cute film!! ❤️ defs want there to be a part 2 where she stands up to her parents and they stick together through everything 🥰
Great film, Ending was So Cute, Actresses were cute together & had chemistry. Well done This ranks in the Top 10 list..... except the guy running with the phone was a bit cheesy (his part of the acting imo) , Superb raw emotion from the grandpa wanting a bottle, Parents leaving on the birthday was not cool.. A Lot of emotions in this 20min's. These 2 need a mini series at least.....
Wow!! That is a really encouraging response!! Thanks so much!! In our view, the phone thief didn't really have an evil criminal mind, he just wanted to take the phone for a quick buck and got busted. He never expected that the girl would actually run after him. So that's why we played him a little less threatening. But your point is well-taken that he is more mocking than threatening. We really appreciate your supportive and uplifting comment!!
@@arthousefilms Welcome, 1/2 way through that run i thought That guy wasnt expecting her to fight back. This one really did have so much packed into 20 mins, compared to so many other films. This could easily be strung into multiple episodes.
It's a cute film but it's also unfair to Miola fans that Riley and Britta can kiss without being hindered by the Covid 19 restrictions but Viola and Mira can't😢😭
one thing i love about short films is that overall most of them are a little corny. but i personally think that’s what makes it heartwarming and realistic! i loved this film!!!
That was a trippy day 😂
That was so nice, a perfect ending as well x
Yay!! You are awesome to check it out! Thanks for leaving such a nice comment!
Loved this! I'm from the bay area, so I recognized all the places in San Francisco. Great stuff. Though they have an important place, I'm glad its not just another film about coming out. Cute couple, sweet story
"I don't have a dog" I love this already
Me encanta esta historia de amor, lastima que es un corto, deberían hacer una serie de ellas
I just watched the movie and came to congratulate the entire crew and cast. It's a very delicate and beautiful story. I would love to see a sequel.
I'll tell my channel subscribers about Go fly a kite!
Wow! You are awesome. Coming from some who watches so much content, it is fantastic that you enjoyed our short film!!! We would be thrilled for a mention on your channel! ruclips.net/channel/UC1puCwUDirYqKN-O3MpYe7Q

Best.Shortfilm.Ever.
THIS IS- JUST- MARVELOUS ❤️
Wow!!! That is awesome to hear!! We are thrilled you liked it. Thank you so much for checking it out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HOW SHE THROW HER PHONE EXCUSE ME- 😂
this is so good:-)) all the actors are great, the grandpa is so sweet:)) they r both so pretty
We love hearing that!! Thanks so much for watching.
I love how sweet and comedic this was. They're soooooo cuteeeee
Thanks so much for encouraging us with your comment!! So glad you liked it!!
This is cute and adorable. It's also great that Riley and Britta can kiss and not be hindered by the Covid 19 restrictions. Unfortunately all the way in Finland the love story of Viola and Mira kissing and being intimate is being hindered by the pandemic😢😭Riley and Britta have great chemistry❤
Thanks! This is an important comment you make about the COVID stuff. Before Covid hit in 2019, we had a different film in the works. But then Covid hit and our film fell apart immediately.
So in April of 2020, it looked like Covid was dying out. Things were opening up. So this film was designed to be shot outside using strict Covid protocols (Masks, testing, distance, etc.). That's why Riley is all alone in that big house. It's also why an important character is a homeless man... so we could shoot outside. Luckily, everything worked out and nobody on the cast/crew got Covid after the shoot.
There was a lot of discussion on the shoot about what the future of movies would look like. Would characters wear masks on screen and make it part of the story? In fact, There is an American TV series called "A Million Little Things" and they actually have the characters on screen delivering their dialogue in masks! It works with the story. And they refer to social distancing and other Covid precautions. That story was written to include the new way of living.
But at the time we shot this short film, we assumed that Covid was going away and it would date our film to have the characters address it.
But there are a couple of shots in the film that give a glimpse of Covid. For example, check out the lady's mask in the background at 12:08
Here is a shot of Riley between takes:

We really appreciate your comment! Also, thanks so much for mentioning Mira and Viola! We hadn't heard of it before but are looking forward to checking it out!
Totally so beautiful n gorgeous🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️
Wow, 20 minutes passed like a second! And thanks for the Polish subtitles
Witaj! Bardzo dziękujemy za obejrzenie naszego filmu i poświęcenie chwili na komentarz. Obsada i ekipa czytają te komentarze i naprawdę czują się jak potwierdzenie ich pracy, kiedy widzą takie miłe komentarze. Hej, jesteś pierwszą osobą, która wspomniała o naszych polskich napisach!

@@kimberlyvicente881 hi
Please tell me I’m not the only one who claps when people finally kiss in these videos-
We screened it at a high school and the crowd also fully applauded and whooped at that moment!
@@arthousefilms oh wow! That’s cool! Glad I’m not the only one also😂
I really love it, happy Pride month you gays 🏳️🌈

The chase scene was so fun! Great job with this film!
I think the kite really was magic
😊The best kind of happy ending is when the girl gets the girl of her dreams...
You are so right!
@@arthousefilms 🙂Thank you. This was my second viewing of the video. As an older TransWoman, I had had a particularly bad day. I really needed something positive to keep me going. The day when we all can just live and be happy as our best selves can't get here soon enough...
The scene where they're flying the kite is like something from a girl in red video
I like this short films.The actors are so beautiful. 💞
Such a well done short! I loved it. Thanks for that great artwork❤
That was a beautiful film...a little off beat and so sweet! It’s so well done and the acting was terrific. Thank you! Liked and subbed.
Thanks!! We are so happy you watched it. “Offbeat”. Haha . Yep!
wow I litterally loved this SO much. I think this short film just became a safe place for me. Also both the girls are simply stunning, I have a soft spot for Britta tho, she's so beautiful and cute.

What an awesome and encouraging comment!! Thanks so much for the nice feedback!!
Excellent short film
Beautiful locations, casts, some amazing shots and a wonderful ending at sunset
That kite taking flight was awesome
Love is always love
OML that was so fucking cute! 😄😭😊I absolutely loved the acting of her homeless grandpa especially because dammmnnnn he was on another level; and the girls their acting got better and better each and every time! The more emotional scenes came, the more natural it became! It sounded a little robotic from when she first saw her friend, but as it kept going it improved! Their kiss scene and when they were flying the kite was beautiful! I loved this so much♥♥♥ thank you for making this and props to everyone involved! You are all are so amazing and talented! 😇🥰
Holy smokes! What a fantastic and welcome review!! Thanks so much for taking the time to give such encouragement. So glad you enjoyed it!!
Yes! I've been waiting for a new short from you guys
