Felt like a more palatable version of a black mirror episode-just as deep and definitely had a WTF moment at the end. This also better not be based on a true story bc that would be too sad
Really phenomenal storytelling. You packed a ton of intrigue, humor, and even a gut-punch into just 14 min. The end was perfect. As a creative director, I also loved the little choices that added so much character, like the miniature faking in the drone shot. Been a huge fan for a while. Congrats on the successful short film!
Thank you for this beautiful film. Shining the light on how we can all play a role on social media and reminding us that the internet isn’t a real place. Loved it, would like to see more 💕
Amazing! I’ve never felt more thankful that I’m not an influencer lol. It looks so glamorous and cool on the surface but it’s easy to imagine the toll it takes on relationships and a person’s sense of self if they don’t have healthy boundaries.
A fantastic debut into filmmaking! My gut just dropped as she was watching her husband’s shared screen on her TV, and I actually got tears in my eyes at the ending. This made me feel something…I love it!!
What the HECK I was not expecting this to be so stinking good!!! This is the highest quality video/film I’ve seen in a LONG time. Wow. Y’all are so talented 💜💜
I didn't realize who had posted this, I just saw shirt film and clicked cuz Ik'm a sucker for those so I had no expectations for this. What a wild poignant ride. This was beautifully done, mad props.
I have no idea why RUclips’s algorithm put this in my feed, and I have no idea why I even watched it, but I actually enjoyed it. Obviously, I know it was scripted, but I believe this type of double life with today’s “influencers” is most likely very realistic. It’s kinda sad really. Well done on this video. Produced a rollercoaster of emotions in a very short amount of time. Good job.
Loved it! Feel like this could be a mini-series delving more into the main characters, Mia, etc and what led up to this. Very intriguing, loved the way it was filmed, the music and the storyline. Great acting too!
Incredible from a film point of view! I loved so many of the shots! The voice track going silent after she reads the texts on the screen, then confronting him and the chaos that ensues… so good. Thank you for sharing this incredibly talented side of you that I never knew about!!
Wow! I had a feeling this was based on the “behind the scenes” of social media, based on your trailer, but this was even better than what I expected! The storyline was very deep and real, and the ending… heartbreaking! I loved the editing, from the silence during the arguing and while you guys were getting the “perfect photos” of the Palm product, to the last shot of Joshua Tree from above. So many details were considered! The flashbacks were beautiful too!! So well done! Can’t wait to see what you create next! ❤
Wow! Just wow! The camera work and the cuts are absolutely professional, and I always love to see you guys acting! The story was an emotional rollercoaster, which is good, even though I hated the end. Anyway, it was amazing, hats off to Alex for all the art work (and to Jon for showing his butt🫡)! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Loved it! Really showing that not everything we see online is real. You two have done a great job acting and producing the whole thing. Can’t wait for more!
This is not Netflix quality like someone has written. This has depth. I am so happy you have filmed this and shared it with the world. It's a masterpiece!
I felt every emotion in these short 15 mins. I absolutely adore this project and I’m so glad you guys were finally able to share it. You both should be so proud of this work!♥️
Holy guacamole. I loved it. The scenes with the real you guys, the private photos and Jon’s reaction to seeing you in your wedding dress really got me 🥺 Please make more shorts
This was amazing! The vibes and eery cringe feel at moments was what stood out to me. I can see you guys doing a thriller for your next film. A thriller with an unexpected plot twist! 😉 The music, the angles you shot were perfect. It gave it a raw vibe. Can’t wait to see more!!! Keep going!
Wish you all could create more mini series like this one. You’re both such talented actors, directors and story tellers! God gave you both so many gifts!
You guys are one of my favorite couples! You two share such a love and friendship. It's so rare. Thank you for sharing with us all the laughs and the serious stuff too! Always praying for you
You guys did incredible with this short film I cannot wait to see more!! I honestly was so sad when it ended because I wished it was longer. ☺️ I love all of your work because it’s always so real and your spoofs are so relatable to the reality of what it can be like to be a creator. So thank you!! 💗
Honestly, I didn't know what to expect from you guys. I mean, I'm a huge fan of yours on IG, but I just couldn't feel that this movie was actually something good. Turns out it was f*cking LIT! 🔥 The plot, the cuts, the script were soooo good! Great job guys ❤ keep doing your thing ❤❤❤ PS: Jon I love you 🥵🔥❤️
Damn that was good and well put together most importantly it was a thinker of a film in so many ways about not just how true and happy an influencers life may actually be or seem to be and or look behind the camera but also the truth of the masks we all wear painting an image of either someone we are pretending to be or someone we want to be this film spoke to me on many different levels it’s crazy well done great job
Alex - not sure why you would even doubt this! So relatable!! The Mia scene hit hard for me 🙈🙈 Can’t wait to see more of you two. I really enjoyed this. And I know it’s only going to get better and better. Long time follower here🥰🥰 you two are amazing people. So raw and genuine.
This definitely made me cry. You guys did a great job. Showed the reality behind the lives of influencers. The public perspective means nothing if your life isn’t healthy and whole in reality.
Wow!!! This is so good! Alex you look drop dead stunning in this, and Jon you look so beefy and tall! Shot beautifully, I cannot believe you did all that yourselves! The editing was ahhhmazing! Ready for more from you guys, so much talent and such a great team! ❤ Thanks for sharing!
The 2020’s is gonna be labeled as the “cringe era” where we were all trying to live a fake life online… loved this! I live on IG for my business and marketing and this is all so, so relatable. Minus the cheating part for me and my hubby. 😅
Sheeeesh. I didn't know what I was expecting but it definitely wasn't this. The ACTING was real AF. This could have been a real show that I 100% would have binged lol.
This is such a good reminder. Not just about influencers but everyone- comparing ourselves to the people we know. Everyone never forget- keeping up with Jones’ is a waste of time. Work on yourself and only share if you gain something from it. Like your mom being able to see your kiddos first day of school. Sharing to your friend from high school a funny meme. Being an influencer and promoting a great product and get paid for it. A great photo of yourself that made you feel good. Not for jealously, greed, boasting, mocking etc. And at the end of the day remember to be kind.
Visually exceptional. Engrossing story tapping into human frailties and vulnerabilities that we all experience on some levels in our lives. Very thought provoking. I loved it and was very surprised at the level of acting achieved by you both.
This was absolutely incredible and a perfectly timed rollercoaster of emotions! If you all had more, I'd binge on this all day and even subscribe to watch more videos! I second what others said about it feeling like Netflix, Black Mirror episode etc. And it's a great reminder that so much goes on when the record button is stopped, and honestly even outside of influencers, we all show the world what we want to show them. Great work! Hope to see more!
As someone that has followed you both for a long time… LOVED the personal snippets of your life. Proud of Jon for stepping out of his comfort zone. Alex… amazing work with the storytelling. Love you both so much. Can’t wait to see what the future holds!❤️ KEEP GOING!!! Rooting for you guys!!
Wow you really have a gift for storytelling Alex! This was amazing! Please continue creating stories ❤ so many great shots too, you guys are really talented!
I did not know what the story was going to be as the trailer didn’t give much away but I LOVED it! You’ve done so well. Can’t wait to see what comes next ❤
Damn this was soooooooo good, I hopped on over from TT thinking this was going to be a comedy sketch but instead You guys took me on an emotional roller coaster.
Plot twist: the fight was all part of their "authenticity" campaign designed to evoke emotion, spark controversy, leverage content, gain publicity, and grow their audiences. 😀 Excellent filmmaking.
I had 0 expectations going into this, but man, this was good.
I second this!!!
Third!! So good
Fourth!!! 🎉
Agreed!!
Yeah shockingly good. I'm impressed.
Felt like a more palatable version of a black mirror episode-just as deep and definitely had a WTF moment at the end. This also better not be based on a true story bc that would be too sad
Many true stories
LOLMAOOOO THis literally happens every day in white countries x’D get real.
This happens alllll the time. Why I don’t allow influencers to…influence me. Absolute garbage of the globe
Ughhh 💔💔 - this is a lot deeper than I was expecting it to be. Nice work! Provoked some raw feelings for sure!
Deep and raw feelings was just it though! I thought it was awesome.
Exact thoughts! Gut wrenching 😥
Seriously!!😫
Really phenomenal storytelling. You packed a ton of intrigue, humor, and even a gut-punch into just 14 min. The end was perfect. As a creative director, I also loved the little choices that added so much character, like the miniature faking in the drone shot. Been a huge fan for a while. Congrats on the successful short film!
This is so high quality! Literally feels like im watching a Netflix special 🤯
This is everything. The characters, script, colors and realism. Very talented couple.
Thank you for this beautiful film. Shining the light on how we can all play a role on social media and reminding us that the internet isn’t a real place. Loved it, would like to see more 💕
Agreed
I never needed reminding
@KM-vx7sg Very insightful
Amazing! I’ve never felt more thankful that I’m not an influencer lol. It looks so glamorous and cool on the surface but it’s easy to imagine the toll it takes on relationships and a person’s sense of self if they don’t have healthy boundaries.
Man, that was a shocker. Well made emotional rollercoaster. Welcome back to film!
Legit made me rethink being on my phone so much and to be more present 😢
Damn this was SO GOOD. I didn’t know what to expect but it showed such a real yet hidden facet of social media. Thank you for this!
A fantastic debut into filmmaking! My gut just dropped as she was watching her husband’s shared screen on her TV, and I actually got tears in my eyes at the ending. This made me feel something…I love it!!
same fr
What the HECK I was not expecting this to be so stinking good!!! This is the highest quality video/film I’ve seen in a LONG time. Wow. Y’all are so talented 💜💜
I would watch you all paint a house. Congratulations! Killing it, you two ❤🔥
I didn't realize who had posted this, I just saw shirt film and clicked cuz Ik'm a sucker for those so I had no expectations for this. What a wild poignant ride. This was beautifully done, mad props.
This is so real though. I've seen many relationships/marriages end on social media after couples get big. It's sad.
Great job!! This was giving black mirror vibes. I was so invested I was like WTF DUDE totally forgetting it was a skit 😂
I have no idea why RUclips’s algorithm put this in my feed, and I have no idea why I even watched it, but I actually enjoyed it.

same!
Absolute same
Yall did so good! Made me feel so many emotions in just 14 minutes!! Can’t wait for your next short film!
A masterpiece. Not me crying with Ashley, knowing perfectly well that Alex and Jon are happy and fine.
Yea but do you really know perfectly well?

Yall are really good actors and the filming was gorgeous
I am throughly impressed .Believable, and every moment kept that relationship tension alive
The part that hit me the most was the wedding, and it was real ❤❤❤❤ love you two
Not even exaggerating…. You guys are my favorite couple influencers!!!!!!! Loved this!!!!!
Wow! I had a feeling this was based on the “behind the scenes” of social media, based on your trailer, but this was even better than what I expected!

Can't wait for a 2 hour+ movie 🎥🍿 🥰 you two are incredible!
Wow! Just wow! The camera work and the cuts are absolutely professional, and I always love to see you guys acting! The story was an emotional rollercoaster, which is good, even though I hated the end.
Anyway, it was amazing, hats off to Alex for all the art work (and to Jon for showing his butt🫡)!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
As an “influencer” who knows many influencers this is 1000% true in many instances. Well done capturing this side of social media
There's no such thing as 1000%.
You’re not an influencer. It’s a title you gave yourself to feel important.
Your comment is bizarrely ironic.
epitome of cringe.

Loved the “looks like siblings” 😂😂
right! loved how they snuck that in there
Loved that it had classic Alex and Jon humour 😂🫶🏻
I felt every emotion in these short 15 mins. I absolutely adore this project and I’m so glad you guys were finally able to share it. You both should be so proud of this work!♥️
Incredible. Had no idea what to expect, and was crying by the end! A short film everyone needs to see.
Ugh the emotions!! Yall are true artists. How did you capture all those feelings and made it so professional 👏 ❤
Holy guacamole. I loved it. The scenes with the real you guys, the private photos and Jon’s reaction to seeing you in your wedding dress really got me 🥺 Please make more shorts
This was way deeper and more thoughtful than I expected. Brilliantly done Alex and Jon!
This was amazing! The vibes and eery cringe feel at moments was what stood out to me. I can see you guys doing a thriller for your next film. A thriller with an unexpected plot twist! 😉 The music, the angles you shot were perfect. It gave it a raw vibe.
Can’t wait to see more!!! Keep going!
The music, the story line, the emotion, ALL of it. Bravo you two, seriously good stuff.
Jesus. That was better than a lot of things I’ve seen lately. Keep chasing your passions. It shows❤
Absolutely incredible. You both are talented beyond measure. Thank you for sharing your gifts and love with all of us💕🫶🏻

This is so well done!! Thank you for making it. As a fellow filmmaker, you packed a ton into this. So Good!!
The text on the tv screen was absolutely powerful. Well done.
You guys did incredible with this short film I cannot wait to see more!!

Alex - not sure why you would even doubt this! So relatable!! The Mia scene hit hard for me 🙈🙈
Can’t wait to see more of you two. I really enjoyed this. And I know it’s only going to get better and better.
Long time follower here🥰🥰 you two are amazing people. So raw and genuine.
The cringe starts right from the nauseating term "influencer" for me! 🤢
This was great work. Enjoyed it 👍🏻
Def has that Alex and Jon pizazz 😂 it’s a good production 🔥🔥🔥
He's got good glutes 😂
OBSESSED. What a commentary on influencing. This had me in tears. Thank you for sharing this story and pieces of yourselves in this ❤️
Soundtrack was excellent. Nice job on the whole thing 👏🏽
Great little short film! It's inspirational to see others get out of their comfort zone and really dive into their passion.
You guys, this was so good! The quality of everything was top notch! I was hoping Alex might kill Jon as a dramatic turn, but maybe next time. 😂
This definitely made me cry. You guys did a great job. Showed the reality behind the lives of influencers. The public perspective means nothing if your life isn’t healthy and whole in reality.
Wow!!! This is so good!
Alex you look drop dead stunning in this, and Jon you look so beefy and tall!
Shot beautifully, I cannot believe you did all that yourselves! The editing was ahhhmazing! Ready for more from you guys, so much talent and such a great team! ❤
Thanks for sharing!
Oh wow. was not expecting this at all. Great script and love the way you shot this. seeing the texts on the tv is my biggest nightmare omg
The 2020’s is gonna be labeled as the “cringe era” where we were all trying to live a fake life online… loved this! I live on IG for my business and marketing and this is all so, so relatable. Minus the cheating part for me and my hubby. 😅
this was a black mirror episode. incredible work
I love your authenticity in everything you guys do. The most genuine couple I know . I love you guys ❤
That 14 minutes flew by! I was so invested. Such an incredible job, you two! Thanks for sharing!!!
Sheeeesh. I didn't know what I was expecting but it definitely wasn't this. The ACTING was real AF. This could have been a real show that I 100% would have binged lol.
Absolutely outstanding and exceptional. I didn’t expect anything less. So much love to you two beautiful people. You are an inspiration.

Well said
The abrupt change in mood from the fight scene to the Instagram live - paired with the awesome violin choice - gave me goosebumps. Well done!
Loved it! Felt connected & wanting more! Like someone else said, hope there’s a part two!!
Amazing short film you guys! Great story telling and acting. Love you both
Brilliant! More! More! 🤩
Uhm I need a pt 2
Love that you guys made this so real and authentic. So easy to just make fun and not cover the humanity of a topic like this- bravo
Your talents are too good for short form! This was amazing !
Visually exceptional. Engrossing story tapping into human frailties and vulnerabilities that we all experience on some levels in our lives. Very thought provoking. I loved it and was very surprised at the level of acting achieved by you both.
This was fantastic and left me wanting more. The writing, the acting, the cinematography. Just everything was a chef's kiss.
Excellent work by all! I truly enjoyed this.
Wow… sooo much better that i was expecting!!! The story, the quality…. I can’t wait for more short films and more of you guys!!! Love you
This was powerful. It’s hard to believe it’s your first short film. You two have always been an inspiration for me. ❤
Brilliant 👏 This is exactly why we all admire the two of you; raw and Fabulously unique talents. Thank you for this impressive piece of art.

The fact that you filmed all that in one day is crazy!! Well done, Packed a punch in 14mins!
Keep sharing your art, the world needs it. ❤❤ Loved the film, and the message 🙌🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I did not know what the story was going to be as the trailer didn’t give much away but I LOVED it! You’ve done so well. Can’t wait to see what comes next ❤
Well done guys. I certainly got emotionally invested
Ugh 😭 Don’t do us like that! Can we get a second episode? This was beautifully written and directed! Loved it.
Didn’t know what to expect, this made me feel every emotion. Incredible work on this
That was a great film! It shines a light on the social media landscape and how it can come between being present in a relationship.
Everything about this film was amazing! Can’t wait to see more! Wishing you guys the best ❤
I’m invested!! This was really good. Congrats guys!!

Just phenomenal! Great storyline and great acting.
Great work guys ❤ I was in tears. I would love to see more short films! ❤️
Plot twist: the fight was all part of their "authenticity" campaign designed to evoke emotion, spark controversy, leverage content, gain publicity, and grow their audiences. 😀 Excellent filmmaking.
I was not expecting to cry and relate as a non influencer but man you guys killed it! So proud of ya’ll, truly enjoyed this!
Wow… you both made me feel all the emotions in only 14 min 😮 great job!
