A well told story. So often we assume people will reject us when in fact they accept us as we are and love us.
@@philzmusic8098 Absolutely!
Fright
It rarely happens many end up desowned, homeless or in conversation camps. Get real.
@@raydaveed Just because there is bad in the world, doesn't mean happiness is impossible.
@@lthewitt Absolutely. Didn't say otherwise ;)
Who would ever want to tell that terrible woman anything?
Sometimes those who want the best for us end up doing more harm than good. Parents and children have very complex relationships, so always make for great drama.
@@lthewitt no, I just mean she is generally unpleasant and difficult lol
Turns out she wasn't horrible 😮
@@M3ME72 oh no, she was pretty horrible. I wasn’t referring to whether or not she was accepting of her son. Just her endless complaining about everything under the sun 🌞
My God, I wanted to stop watching because of her. I would move countries to get away from her.
Wow, a nice gay drama with a happy ending...so so so rare!! Nice to finish a realistic gay story feeling good for a change.
@@RBB52 Thank you! Stay tuned, because there's more where that came from!
Brilliantly told story! Thank You and all the cast and crew. 🎉🍻
@@curtisdaniel9294 Thank you, Curtis! Glad you enjoyed it!
creative, beautiful, layers of character, sweet, funny, heart touching, i definitely become your latest fan .. thank u for making us feeling good..
@@ickey68 Thank you so much for your lovely comment! If you enjoyed this, check out my latest short: ruclips.net/video/GoizCN8VL3U/видео.html
Interesting watch. I totally get the part where he is afraid to tell his mom about himself. In 11 years of relationship with my partner, I have been a friend of him in his parent's eyes throughout.

Every once in a while, I discover a really nice channel on you-tube, and your's was really great. Of all of them, this was my favorite. The story, and the actors were quite good. Thank you from Seattle, and I sure hope you continue creating. You have quite the talent for it! I'll be visiting again from time to time to see what else you come up with.
@@Tim_Bowling Thank you so much! That's a really lovely comment! My videos have just started getting lots of hits in recent weeks, so I've been writing my next short film and will be sure to let you know when it's online!
Well done, Otis! I was really curious to watch this. I wish you the best :)
Thank you, Claudia! My latest film is out if you're interested: ruclips.net/video/GoizCN8VL3U/видео.html
Was good at the end that the mother accepted her son's life choice, not the experience I had in the beginning when my family found out, church counselors, psychologist, then disowned and kicked out of the home.
I know that its more accepted today but some individuals still go thru the fear and anxiety of coming out, or being exposed
I'm so sorry to hear that! ♥
I hope you're in a better situation now and that you're happy and healthy and safe!
@@lthewitt thanks, and yes I'm in a better place both mentally and emotionally today. I was 15 at the time, That was many years back. Because of my experience I question myself and my sexuality for several years, the desire for male companionship and physical contact "sex". Then the quilt and self-loathing. Because of my experience I'm lucky to be writing this. I sought out help and consoling myself, Had a great counselor who happened to be gay. And I'm living a totally open gay life. Thanks again for asking. And for anyone who is going through this life changing & life freeing experience, no matter your situation there are supportive people that can help search and reach out
Your here for a purpose,
Your valuable
And you are loved 💘
@@davidadkins4648 👏
I am so glad that I was able to cut out toxic judgmental and abusive people out of my life.
@@1TLP72 Happy for you! 🤗
Great film, I identify with Peter way more than I would probably like. Keeping secrets can be hard but sometimes revealing them can be even harder. Bit of a tangent but I had to laugh at the names, Peter, Paul and Mary was the name of a group back in the day.
One of the actors realised as well, but none of them picked up on their surname being Seeger, after Pete Seeger. It's not mentioned out loud, but it's in the script and the credits.
@@lthewitt I saw all of that in the credits. I love things like that.
@@billd3356 Currently writing another short film where every character is named after The Mamas and the Papas 😅
Well done 👍
@@zajournals Thank you!
We need more shows like this and less reality tv shows.
@@MarioMartinez-iy1og Thank you!
9:47 the brother has worked it out. If he hadn't done already.
@@madabbafan I think so!
I would enjoy seeing more stories like this one!❤
There are more on the way!
This short film would have ended badly if Lloyd had slept in his own bed.
@@da96103 A bleaker ending that would be, but I really wanted this one to have a positive ending.
Nice 👍🙂
Thank you! Are you watching from Kenya?
@@lthewitt yes
@@bonfacewere2455 Awesome! This film is really making its way around the world!
@@lthewitt yes, it is. Keep up the good work. I am actually an actor as well. You can involve me in your next film, if you can. I look forward to your next big project.
Excellent short film. But how did that post card survive for five long years?! Let alone succeeding to keep such a large secret about one's private life from such an inquisitive mother for so long?
My brother and I have actually been playing the Battersea Power Station game with a photo of BPS for over a decade! And I know people who've kept relationships from family members longer. The craziest parts of this film are actually inspired by true events!
Yes!!! And I loved the names lol!👏👏👏👍👍👍😂😂😂🤗
@@Tawroset Glad you liked it! Now spam all your friends with the link! 😅
Damn brother tried so hard to out him. F the mom and sister on so many levels.
I loved the acting of the brother and sister in that middle scene where they look out the window. I barely had to do anything, I just said 'Roll camera' and they did everything perfectly.
Funny and wonderful 😊!
Thank you so much!
@@lthewitt The film is a delightful surprise! Thank you !
The mother is obnoxious!!!
@@PeterHatch-v2x Very!
Peter, Paul and Mary!
@@voxveritas333 Very deliberate, but only the older actor noticed!
Full of twists and turns with a nice cast of interesting characters, who might also be hiding something?
@@marcusanderson-yeager6740 Glad you enjoyed it! What do you think the other characters might be hiding? 🤔👀
English subtitles/captions have now been added!
interesting story. Good actors. Kudos from france
@@champalaunepatrice8202 Merci, Patrice!
Why would he tell that old shrew anything at all? I wouldn't. Her constant nagging wouldn't make anyone want to share with her. I only decided to tell my mom when I was in my 50s, I just don't care about her opinion anymore.
@@matthewgordon3281 ♥
8:58 subtitles are inaccurate. And in some other places too.
Lovely film though!
Fixed now! Thank you!
This is actually cute and written well ❤
@@cedricksamaniego9146 Thank you so much! There are more on the way.
From the start: It seems an odd choice to have given her a cup that might have been a coffee cup. She's waving it around with extreme confidence, so, clearly it's empty, but seems like an odd choice for her to have it if she's not going to use it in some larger way.
If I recall correctly, the actor insisted on it. I think it was a cold day and the cup probably had coffee in during the first ten takes... 😂
If I had a mother like that, and there was no way for her to change her behavior or curb her comments, I'd most likely break contact with her completely. I just can't live with someone that dramatic, overly critical, self-absorbed and judgmental in my life. 😬
Glad it worked out for the two lads in the end.
♥
If my boyfriend did this i would dump him so quick
Fair enough 😂
That’s wrong of u
I still get the creeps from my mum n some family about being gay. It was especially hard at first. Painful. I shit down a bit now.
@@Richie8a8yI'm so sorry to hear that, but thank you for sharing! Did you find the film helpful?
What’s with mom’s crazy accent? Lol
She's French 😅
Gods that's good ahahaha
Thank you so much!
He forgave her? 🍷🍷🍷
What would you have done in his situation?
@@lthewitt I went no contact with my mum for a year, she hasn’t changed much but she respects my boundaries and communication is civil and acceptable
@@MFRUclips683 ♥
What a nag!.
@@2009grifin1 Indeed.
👌👌👌
@@mucrudi Thank you!
What an awful mother!
@@marecku21 Everyone says that 😅
yet ‘another ‘’gay’’ movie’ where the acting is awful, the filming sh*te, the story rubbish. and ‘lloyd’ with a foreign accent…. i’m cracking up!
@@M-M-EXTRA Glad you enjoyed it! 😂
😂😂😂😂👍
