    Starring Maroussia Ejova and Patch Harvey (instagram.com/patchharvey). Casting and story help from producer Ansley Sawyer (instagram.com/ansleysawyer). I shot this over a few days in Paris and largely improvised the story and dialog. It has more than a few elements from my own life in it.

      Do you beleive in Love? I mean if one person can really be destined for another, or rather it is a man who makes plans and God laughs .Maybe interesting as the main idea for a new script. :-) I was born in Paris and I can testify that beyond the Clichés Love in Paris has very deep contrasts, But true that from my childhood I remember Paris as a very liberal capital. ¨Strawberrys¨ realistic detail of the great Parisian rudeness sometimes disguised as courtesy, by the vendor in the market stall at 0:30

      it's not about the location, it's about the person...if you can't trust the person, then It's not a serious relationship and if it's not, then it doesn't matter if someone cheats.

    SO good. People need to watch this in 2020 to remember when we could move freely and enjoy the simple romance of life. It can return, but we need to learn to live with Covid, not in fear of it.

    @KiblerDesign 7 лет назад

    That was by far the most moving film I've seen on RUclips. I started tearing up halfway through realizing the potential realities and then one reality came to life... the music fit the mood and the tone was perfect. I can relate to the story. Perfect execution..

    @AbadChristian 7 лет назад +6

    I really don't understand how you only have 43k followers, I really don't. It seems un real. You are a TRUE filmmaker, not a transition maker like all these famous people. People forget that the most important thing about a film, is the story. And this can EASILY be transformed into a movie. I follow you from your Vimeo days and I just hope your RUclips career explodes because you deserve it. Excellent video, as I would expect.

    • @BrandonLiUnscripted
      @BrandonLiUnscripted  7 лет назад +3

      Thanks Abad, I think maybe RUclips isn't a platform for filmmakers. It's for on camera personalities. So the people who talk the best game and post the most videos get the most subs. That's why I also post to Vimeo, which is primarily a filmmaker platform. I just wish the audience there was bigger.

    • @AbadChristian
      @AbadChristian 7 лет назад +1

      Brandon Li yeah maybe that's true. I just feel you have so much to offer. I'm an aspiring filmmaker and always try to learn as much as I can from people like you. I watched your last video that you did in Spain and it was amazing. it was a 4min film. loved it! whenever you are in London again let me know and I can help you with whatever you need. Hopefully RUclips people will start giving you the credit you deserve

    • @BrandonLiUnscripted
      @BrandonLiUnscripted  7 лет назад +2

      Thanks, I don't make my living off RUclips so it's not really a big deal if I have a smaller following. I think it's important to have a career outside social media.

    • @AbadChristian
      @AbadChristian 7 лет назад

      Brandon Li oh I imagine! hahahaha keep teaching what you know, and I'm sure you will succeed here as well. I learn a lot with your videos. I try to see what you do and learn from that. I learnt a lot from the video you did of an oriental company. How you showed the men working and the atmosphere. really great. what can I say, I'm a fan of your work

    Great short film especially since you improvised the story and dialog! Love the intertwining of takes to give us a taste into what may happen between these two as they enjoy Paris together. This only enhanced the ending which shines with a goodbye kiss that leads to the age old question "What might have been?" Solid work!
