“Well, hope you like the couch, man.”
“Yeah, man. You too.”
This is the best.
hahahha! A classic
This is the coolest sofa film I have ever seen. Everything is great: the story, the actors, the locations, the pictures. A sofa can change your life!
been waiting to watch this film for nearly two years. dang, it's great. I think in a way, the film reminds us to appreciate the journey rather than seeing results as the only factor of success. well done guys, I loved it.
Ahh! So happy you finally got to see it! I love that take away. Thanks so much! -Florence
What the heck why did this almost make me cry I miss parties so much!! 😭 Also this is hollywood level Christoph you are a genius!!
The awkward moment when I'm the only one waiting for it 😂🤦🏻♂️
I’ll join
This makes me hope that some day I see someone trying to move a couch across the city by foot so I can partake.
The world needs people like that!
This is so great!
I learned how we should nice and care for the stranger.
And how our couch having us with a lot of friends at home.
The next stranger could be our next best friend.
Beautiful lessons :) -F
This is BEAUTIFUL. I'm so impressed, everything is flawless, and I completely lost track of time as I watched it. Now I'm sitting here feeling weirdly nostalgic and joyful.
Thank you! That makes us so happy!
Could not have said it better.
I like the play on words with the title. I don’t know how many people still call a couch a chesterfield anymore but very nice journey to Chester Station. Thoroughly enjoyed this film😆
When I first moved to Toronto, Chester station was one of the only stations I knew of in the East end. So when we wrote the film I put that in. My co-writer Gabriel Patti kept saying "Chesterfield" in reference to the couch and I had never heard that word before. He explained it was a Canadian word for couch and I immediately thought "That's the title of the film right there!". - Florence
Couch thief 1 really made this movie for me. Great work all around !
he did not success his vision “bringing couch to the east”, but look what he got. it’s a meaningful journey.!
Spoiler alert! Hahaha 😊
This is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen on RUclips! Fantastic writing...it’s all so perfect!
Thank you!! A lot of the story is based on actual events, so that helps :)
The main actor is GREAT
This is way too awesome. from beginning till the end. The colour grading sells it, the story line is on point, the ending is so incridible and the music is so cool
Really makes you think about how such small things can build into something great
That's such a great take away. :) -Florence
Well done! I've been waiting such a long time for this short film and I love it so much!!!
Thank you so much for supporting! I'm so happy you liked it :D - Florence
"your gonna be a pretty good soldier kid," killed me
Film was amazing. Lewis was so authentic and killed it. The story took turns that I did not expect and totally exceeded my expectations!!!!!
BRILLIANT!!! the montage carrying the couch past all the iconic city spots!! alsoo loooved the soundtrack
The story is cute af. Very well told too. Congrats!!
Thank you! - Florence
How has this not been seen by everyone on RUclips? Love it
Loved this, what an uplifting soul fulfilling chain of events, cinematography was exceptional. I had to watch it twice!
Just Wow!!!
What an uplifting story. I love how little mistakes can make life more fulfilling ❤️❤️
Thanks Jamie! :D - Florence
that's really amazing. pure hearts friendship. we cannot find now
Excellent job!! I never though a movie about a guy moving a couch would be so good. It has a great story arc and it has a lot of fun characters.
I'm so glad you liked it! Thank you! - F
Wish life is that simple!!! Great film!!! Thanks!!!
This was some otherworldly wholesome stuff. Amazing film!
Such a beautiful movie!
I had to pause so I was behind everyone else, but this was great! I admire how the main character seems to organically connect with people. I guess a nice comfy couch is a great catalyst for relationship building!
Thanks Free! That's a sweet observation. I think when writing it I was really thinking of the openness I felt when I first moved to Toronto. It came from a real place which is so cool to see you noticing. Cheers! - Florence
That was a wonderful film. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! - F
Not sure is RUclips Auto turned off the comments on Florence's childhood piece -- but that vid absolutely crushed me.
Yeah it keeps happening...I think because there is footage of kids :(
Just the right amount of awkwardness of life. Loved it
