Something like this happened to me. He wanted money which I didn't have and said he would kill me to do me a favor because he thought I was in a worse shape than he. He didn't kill me. Didn't shoot me and ended up going to dinner with me and living with me for a few months. I was a newly immigrant working for a midnight shift. One of my three jobs. . He was an immigrant too. While living with me he found a job as an auto mechanic and now 20 yrs later, he has a shop, a wife and 2 beautiful daughters. This story in reality could be true if every single one of us can see others as a plant who needs a good soil to grow. They need you to be that soil. Something good comes out of thinking like this. Thx for making this film.
@taro546, You are so welcome. When one sets out to make a film, they never know where it will lead. If Grey did nothing more than lead me to your comment, I would consider it a monumental success. Thank you for sharing this story with us. And for being that "good soil." I hope our paths one day cross. ❤🙏 Blessings, Glenn
Hi everyone. I'm Glenn Berkenkamp, the writer, director, producer of GREY. I'm loving all the wonderful comments. 🙂 It seems our little film has found its way into the world at the perfect time. Feel free to ask me any questions. And thank you for watching and sharing Grey! PS. For those who told me they were unable to leave a review on IMDB, the comments and ratings function are now enabled.
@glenb On many levels, I feel you've made a beautiful piece of work in 'Gray'. I sincerely hope you keep up the great work in this format and eventually move to full length movies while still producing such valuable shorts. You are extremely talented. Thank you for putting this online.
@@riderinsanjose337 thank you for taking the time to write to me. And for such kind words. Yes, I plan to do a feature film next. But there is another short that I wrote years ago that I would love to make at some point as well. Thanks again for connecting.
What a ride!!! ~ 😃✨💕 ~ The emotions and take-away from this 13 minutes of filmmaking is truly PROFOUND!!!… and just what our troubled world needs a whole lot more of now. ~ BRAVO Glenn Berkenkamp for your extraordinary authorship AND brilliant production. This is a precious gift to humanity at just the right time!
There are very feel people that can have that composure, in real life. Experiencing high stress situations is the only way, I know, to get to that point.
@@emanuelps9638 True as well. But giving money to people described by you does not guarantee they won't shoot you. So, it is a game of chance either way.
I found this short film to have quite a powerful message. And think the acting was top notch. The whole thing takes place in one spot with only 2 characters interacting. And somehow, it managed to keep my attention throughout. Well done!
It takes great presence of mind to maintain that sort of calm with a loaded gun held in your face by some highly agitated aggressor.. This was a well-told parable that could have veered into tragedy. Kudos all around.
@@HookBeak_66 Thank you, though I nowhere near match the writer/director of this short. I'm still trying to figure out why the IMDb won't let me rate or review this piece. Very frustrating.
@@MisterG2323 I just updated the film's status to "released" on IMDB. Now anyone should be able to leave a rating and comment. Thank you for pointing it out. 🙏 Much appreciated. ❤
How refreshing to see a character breathe into the moment and the situation instead of reacting out of fear. Returning aggression with aggression invariably leads to harm and mayhem. This is a sweet example of how centeredness and loving kindness can defuse a situation. It leaves me with a smile instead of a sense of cynicism about humanity. Thank you, for making my day better, Glenn.
"There are many truths of which the full meaning cannot be realised until personal experience has brought it home. "No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man."
Wonderful writing and direction - and such a powerful message throughout. I loved watching the transformation that Edward goes through and the patience, calm, and deeply personal empathy from Grey. Bravo, Glenn!
That was such a feel good short thank you. I absolutely love Gray's empathy, he has it in abundance; even when there's a gun pointing to his head. I want to be more like Gray! 😊 Well done all, a fabulous production.
What a fine short film, Glenn. GREY surprised me, and it made me think a bit about how one’s circumstances sometimes lead to difficult choices, but how we all have a choice in how we might respond to tough situations. So glad I took some time to watch it this afternoon. Thanks!
Thank you, Mary. ❤ As I often tell people, the majority of us will never find ourselves in a situation like the one that Grey is facing, but we will find ourselves in other challenging and disruptive situations, and this reminds us that there are choices as to how we respond or react.
Thank you for this Glenn… just what the world needs right now. We are so proud of this impactful piece of art you have created. Acting and cinematography are top notch ❤
Thank you. “When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds: Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be.” ― Patanjali
As we become smarter and more advanced, we need to remember: We don't need to create an AI God to rule over us, and we don't need humanoid robots to be our slaves, we need to remember what it's like to be human. If we lose that, we lose everything.
A small indie film that’s not small. A peak outside the matrix and inside the potential of the field of love. A worthy 13 minutes opening the door to a lifetime 💗💗💗
So great to see this film come to fruition after all the work involved and all the wonderful comments here... It was a joy to help in its creation and promotion. Well done, Glenn brother. I look forward to more.
Apuntar a alguien y disparar no todo el mundo es capaz La frialdad y tranquilidad que transmite el protagonista cuando lo encañonan tampoco. Ojalá este mundo cada día más violento y peligroso viera este cortometraje.
Wow, this is so riveting. My mom knows you!! You went to highschool with her, Cindy. She shared this film with me because I am a clinical mental health therapist. Really great job.
Hi Lauren. 🙂 Thanks for taking the time to write - and for your work helping others. 🙏 I'm glad you loved Grey. Please tell your mom I said hi. I'm happy she sent you the film. ❤ May it serve you well on your path. Blessings, Glenn
Thank you. I'm so glad you loved the film. 🙏On behalf of all those who contributed to its execution and completion, you're welcome. ❤And yes, kindness and compassion can save the world, or at least heal great parts of it.
This is such a powerful, touching, and inspiring short film that is exceptionally well done. Too often, we feel surrounded by crime, hate, and rage in this world, painting a negative light on humanity. This film, however, focuses on the presence of good in all of our hearts. Set in a parking lot at night, the story unfolds between two people-one inside a car and the other outside, holding a gun. The tension is palpable, and the cinematography is riveting, drawing you into the intensity of the moment. Despite the seemingly grim setting, the film beautifully captures the essence of human kindness and the transformative power of compassion. The storytelling is poignant, and the performances are heartfelt, with each scene carefully crafted to evoke a range of emotions that resonate deeply with the viewer. This short film is a reminder that even in the darkest of situations, there is always a glimmer of light within us. It encourages us to believe in the power of goodness and to contribute to a more loving and empathetic world. It’s a must-watch for anyone seeking a message of hope and humanity.
"It encourages us to believe in the power of goodness and to contribute to a more loving and empathetic world." Wow. Right on. Thank you!! Blessings, Glenn
@@soulreadanalytics9781 One of the best OMELETOs so far. Usually i see the short before omelto shares. They cut me to the chase on this one. Great story. Very moving.
What a powerful short film, beautifully crafted. The writing was thoughtful and observant and the two actors gave such convincing performances. Well done.
He sure is, and every moment of his up and down and challenging life led to that beautiful moment in the parking lot. Thank you for watching and commenting.❤🙌❤
I cannot say enough about this short, it's in my favorites for sure. Been in a similar incident that followed those events and they were spot on. It was the beginning of a Needy,clingy unhinged relationship. Love the Buddhist infusion as well with Grey centering himself through chants and centering his chi. Brilliant acting on both parts totally understood why you ended with them changing the tire. Great scene but I needed to see the end as the satisfaction of doing a job right, good convo and then hold hands into the moonlight. On a seriousness note helps him and how he does it. Damnit when is part 2? Who are you pitching it to?
Thank you for your kind words. ❤ I'm glad Grey landed so deeply in you. I love the power of film. As for part two, I've not given it much thought, but many have been asking. I'm currently focusing on an unrelated feature film that I wrote and plan to direct. Maybe Grey would make a good TV series? We shall see! Thanks for commenting. 🧡
Glenn, Engaging film. I like the way this piece moves into unexpected territory and places the power of compassion front and center. ALL CAMERA ANGLES and lighting are superb and hold my attention. Thank You! ~:~ Jacob
Thank you, Jacob. The power of compassion is a force to be reckoned with. It makes me think of the story about a Tibetan monk who was imprisoned and tortured for months. Upon release, he was asked what was the worst part of it. His reply: "The worst part was...there was a moment when I almost lost compassion for the man who was tasked to torture me. That was horrible."
Glenn!!! THAT was AMAZING!!! Was it really only 13 minutes??? It felt like I just read an entire book or watched a feature film! Great storytelling! So impressed!
@franpatoski631 Thank you! 🙂 I'm glad you loved Grey. Yes, 13 minutes. The power of film to transport and transform its audience is immense. I've seen Grey hundreds of times and it still draws me right in and holds my attention throughout. It all starts with the script, but then it becomes an amazingly rich collaborative process where so many people are empowered to shine. 🌟 Thanks again for your kind words. 🙏 Here's to making more films that move people. ❤
How is there so much beauty and inspiration to be experienced? There is so much garbage out there but there’s also this. Thank you for making it available to me.
Great movie and premise! I kept thinking that this is what would happen if someone tried to rob Mr. Rogers. I’m saying that in all seriousness. Fred Rogers was a great man and the Grey character reminds me of him. 👏 ❤
Thank you for this comment. Fred Rogers was indeed a great man whose legacy continues to touch people. I wish I could show him the film. But maybe he's able to see it from the higher realms. ❤
OH WOW , how fantastic is this !?! Everything is top notch, and the story just so profound. This world needs exactly this in these disturbed times. This is riveting to the core stuff. Please share this gem 💎 Thank you Omeleto 🙏
Thank you, @Henri377❤🧡 I am touched that Grey moved you in such a profound way. 🙏 The world certainly does need more empathy and goodness. I will continue to do my part. Blessings, Glenn
@@glennberkenkamp7852 thank you! So kind of you to reply. Each genuine kindness and act of love has a ripple effect, being woven into the tapestry of existence ✨
At the risk of sounding cliché, I have no words - I'm speechless - wow, just wow. I won't be able to call him "just the kid next door," any more (he and his family were our neighbors for almost 50 years)! Glenn has truly TRULY become a brilliant author, screenwriter, director, producer, and more... ... the last 13 minutes and 36 seconds had me glued to the 6-inch screen of my iPhone. I want more of Grey, like every Sunday night at 9 PM more; who will he bring truth and awareness to next, more? On the big screen, more ... Nothing has hit me this hard since Glenn socked me in the eye with his wiffle bat when we were kids. Again with the clichés - you hit this one outta the park! All the best, Glenn, congrats! Big hug for my friend and former neighbor! ❤
Thank you. ❤❤ And thank you for your call. It's always so amazing to see just how deeply moving images can move us. I'm glad Grey spoke to your heart and soul. Sorry about the wiffel ball incident...but even Grey had a past. 😂 As for more Grey, maybe it'll become a TV series. At this point I'm moving forward on directing a feature I wrote. Blessings, Glenn
I think there's a Grey that lives in all of us. But it's nice (and helpful) to see it manifested, and in action, outwardly. I'm glad you enjoyed the film. 🙂🙏
Very well done! Just one detail that by no means diminishes the substance of the story: in the opening cut, the car parks in the second slot from the parking light, but then it is in the third slot.
This is beautiful to read, Catherine. Thank you. I'm glad our film touched you so deeply. May the Grey that lives in all of us shine forth in you. And may you receive goodness and support in all its many forms. Blessings, Glenn
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs: Survival needs (food, clothing, shelter) come first, awareness and self-actualization needs comes last. 50 Shades of Gray: Mr. Grey Alberts is somewhere in the middle of the grayscale spectrum. He has a long way to go.
Something like this happened to me. He wanted money which I didn't have and said he would kill me to do me a favor because he thought I was in a worse shape than he. He didn't kill me. Didn't shoot me and ended up going to dinner with me and living with me for a few months. I was a newly immigrant working for a midnight shift. One of my three jobs. . He was an immigrant too.

Fantastic composure. 99.9% of people would panic. And willingness to help others. Makes you want to be like Grey.
There are very feel people that can have that composure, in real life. Experiencing high stress situations is the only way, I know, to get to that point.
Pero también hay otras que tiran y lo hacen una y otra. mejor es darles el dinero no sabemos con que clase de personas estamos tratando.

At the risk of sounding cliché, I have no words - I'm speechless - wow, just wow. I won't be able to call him "just the kid next door," any more (he and his family were our neighbors for almost 50 years)! Glenn has truly TRULY become a brilliant author, screenwriter, director, producer, and more...
... the last 13 minutes and 36 seconds had me glued to the 6-inch screen of my iPhone. I want more of Grey, like every Sunday night at 9 PM more; who will he bring truth and awareness to next, more? On the big screen, more ...
Nothing has hit me this hard since Glenn socked me in the eye with his wiffle bat when we were kids. Again with the clichés - you hit this one outta the park! All the best, Glenn, congrats! Big hug for my friend and former neighbor! ❤
Thank you. ❤❤ And thank you for your call. It's always so amazing to see just how deeply moving images can move us. I'm glad Grey spoke to your heart and soul. Sorry about the wiffel ball incident...but even Grey had a past. 😂 As for more Grey, maybe it'll become a TV series. At this point I'm moving forward on directing a feature I wrote. Blessings, Glenn

great film. i couldn't take my eyes off the screen. well done, everybody.
Thank you! I'm glad Grey drew you in and left you satisfied.
Very intellectual! I guess we all need such a person (Grey) in our lives, brain, heart, and soul!
I think there's a Grey that lives in all of us. But it's nice (and helpful) to see it manifested, and in action, outwardly. I'm glad you enjoyed the film. 🙂🙏
Very well done! Just one detail that by no means diminishes the substance of the story: in the opening cut, the car parks in the second slot from the parking light, but then it is in the third slot.
I will never get…wait for it…tired of watching this piece. :-)
What a BEAUTIFUL comment. Thank you! Fun fact: I've seen it hundreds of times and still find myself getting drawn right in.
Men, if this old man runs a pyramid scam then sign me up because he's preaching truth❤
This was awesome! Thanks. ❤
You are so welcome. ❤
THIS is my favourite Omeleto EVER. I love it so much. I wish I had a Grey in my life.
This is beautiful to read, Catherine. Thank you. I'm glad our film touched you so deeply. May the Grey that lives in all of us shine forth in you. And may you receive goodness and support in all its many forms. Blessings, Glenn
Im so glad i found this channel
I am too. ❤
Beautifully sentiment, but for many of us we can barely afford to feed ourselves these days.
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs: Survival needs (food, clothing, shelter) come first, awareness and self-actualization needs comes last.
50 Shades of Gray: Mr. Grey Alberts is somewhere in the middle of the grayscale spectrum. He has a long way to go.
Calmly intense. This is a sensational piece of artistry.
Thank you. I like that, "calmly intense,"
That was excellent! What a feel good story! Amazing acting as well!

isn't it odd, that all those political and bullsheet videos on Omeleto get awards, and this righteous gem gets nothing. Such is the way of the world.
