This predominantly silent film follows Lily, an introverted high schooler, as she gets closer to Mia, an extroverted classmate who grapples with balancing relationships.
This short film really touched me. There is no need for words to understand how they are bound to each other. It's bittersweet and realistic. A pice of art. So proud of all of you.
This was so beautiful.❤ For introverts their whole life revolves around that one friend. They don’t believe in making 10 friends instead they will always be loyal to that one friend give them priority.
The chances of this being seen are low, but this was so stunning. The music you chose really represents the highs and lows of Lily's emotions, and all of the angles and scenes of pure happiness and sadness are beautifully curated. I really hope this channel makes it really far. This was impressive. Edit: omg I didn’t even realize this had likes
i actually love this so much it should be made into a full film. The plot is relatable for many people and the characters really show what being young is like 100000/10
Hey! Just wanted to say your acting in this short was amazing! This whole thing felt so real, so personal. And you sold us on that sadness and regret at the end with just a look. If you enjoy acting I hope you keep with it because you're really good! If you're still in touch with the girl who portrayed Lily, please tell her the same. That crushing despair as she runs out into the street - I felt that in my SOOOOUL.
watching this made me think about my relationship with an ex-friend. we had a similar friendship; good in the beginning, but as time moved on she became more and more distant. this hit close to home and it was really good.
This made all of our old memories swarm, and it hurts so much to know that she's never coming back. All of the the memories. Holding hands as we walked in the rain, her holding me as I cried, kissing her forehead as she went to sleep, everything. It's not coming back. Now I'm crying and wondering where I went wrong. I just miss her more than anything. I miss holding her in my arms as she closed her eyes and I played with her hair. I miss giving her gifts, and asking about her day. I miss the long ass midnight conversations on the phone. I miss her. She was my everything. I never expected her to leave. She said she loved me more than anything. I never wanted it to go away. I did everything I could to get her to stay. It's been so long and I still can't help but fall asleep with her on my mind.
Watching this made me think of one of my close friends. She continued in public school while I transferred to private school. In the 3 years we spent at separate schools, she made many friends, had many boyfriends, was always involved in drama, and hardly made time for me. I made 3 close friends, never dated anyone, and stayed out of drama, I was always willing to drop everything to hang out with her. Now that I am back in public school with her, she is making more time for me, but when she walks away from me mid conversation to go talk to her other friends, she expects me not to get upset. Since starting at public school, I've made more friends, but still not nearly as many as her. She eventually stopped talking to me for a month, and any time I would see her at our shared after-school activities, she would say, "Sorry, ive been stressed with (insert drama here), I'll tell you about it later." She never told me. Since I brought it up to her, we have been texting and hanging out more, but we aren't as close as we once were. I debate sending her this mini movie to watch so then she can understand how I feel as the introverted friend
This movie is so sweet, it made me think about me and my friend. I love her sm and i love spending time with her because I feel like she's the only person who understands me and likes me genuinely and she's just very special to me. But now she's paying more attention to one other girl and they seem to be getting along quite well, they laugh together in class in front of me and they have conversations and hangout without me. My friend held that girl's hand when she felt overwhelmed and stressed when she used to do that with me. I feel like I'm losing her. And this movie captured my feelings 💔
absolutely beautiful. i'm so glad my feed brought this short film to my attention! the emotions were so raw and human, and i love how it was no one's "fault" for the fight/friend break. It was just differences-in perspective, in personality, etc.-and that is so incredibly human! there's nuance to every situation, especially in a relationship like this. and it was really beautiful to see this interpretation. thanks so much for sharing!! 💜
Holy fucking shit this is shot so well and it’s on an iPhone???!!! What the hell???!!! God I haven’t shouted from the look of a film for a bit, thank you for bringing out that joyous feeling for cinema in my heart, I was deeply in a drought! Also the editing is amazing, what iPhone is this shot on???
Mia seems toxic even as a friend. Ugh tbh I wanted to see the other character reject her somehow lol there was like a glimpse at the end. Also, the running in the street at night scene was my favorite because I also go on walks or runs when I’m angry. Exquisite cinematography and work btw!!
this is amazing! looking forward to watch more of your short films. i was so hooked to the story as well, i love how when some of the clips make me feel happy, and instantly after, i feel sad. the happy clips are bright when the sad clips are cold and gloomy. this is truly a work of art. you and aydan did an amazing job and so did everyone else!
it really breaks my heart to see the scenes where at first they are together and having a good time, and then after that there is only one, while the other one has probably moved on by now and is dating a boy...
Ugh I have a love hate relationship with this on one hand I relate on the other it hurts me to see her go back to her after all the pain she caused but I need to take my own advice ig
this is off topic but the intro music and the fact that the main charater is names lily make this even more wholesome (the music is from a horror video game "The evil within 2" who tells the story of the father who'll try everything to save his daughter lily)
My style is a lot like the red heads tank top outfit with the flowers and it sucks because everyone thinks I’m straight 😭idk what to do because I don’t wanna change my style …..I wanna be true to myself but no one gets it
hi! it’s the redhead🤭 i just wanted to let you know that you can wear whatever you want!! as long as you are confident in yourself and you know what you want, you can do it i promise! remember, clothes are an expression of your own unique personality don’t let others opinions or ideas make you change that💗
Thank you to everyone showing support for "Violets"! This is my first short film and I am looking forward to making more. 💜
Can't wait , want to seem a ontinution of this story
Keep going!!! Congrats from Chile 🇨🇱
I love it it's amazing
@@conticc661 nñ
My question is there going to be more to this story?
i fr thought this was gonna be a sapphic short film but it was still so good and you should def consider doing more of these
I knowww I was sad when it wasn’t 😭
They definitely have that tension tho. I thought it was cause I literally looked up lgbt short film and this was literally the first one to pop up.
@@davidstratton696LMAO
Me too 😔💔🤣
I think it is definitely sapphic but its just like right under the surface
This short film really touched me. There is no need for words to understand how they are bound to each other. It's bittersweet and realistic. A pice of art.
So proud of all of you.
I'm rereading this comment and I am so confused. I don't remember watching this short film nor do I remember writing this.
@@onebihuman lol
Imagine if it ended with Mia sending a text, “I think I’m obsessed with you too.”
I will acept this end and forgot The real end
THE GAY TENSION OMG
FOR REAL
IKR
I WAS THINKING THAT THE WHOLE TIME

Never fall in love with your straight best friend. A hard lesson to learn. Been there. Not fun.
same :(
BUT! I DO HAVE AN AMAZING GF NOW :D
i actually love this so much it should be made into a full film. The plot is relatable for many people and the characters really show what being young is like 100000/10

Couldn't have done it without you!

A classic case of the girl falling in love with her bestie and everything going to shit because of bad communication

I only clicked on this because it looked like a Lesbian 'The Fault in Our Stars' but it was somehow just as amazing. I loved it!
WOW, this was truly one of the most accurate short films I've ever seen for people my age. Amazing work!

It was shot on an iPhone 11 and edited on Premiere Pro. Thank you so much for all the compliments! So glad you enjoyed it!
@@bellaotte no no, thank you for putting out!!! It really is amazing!!! Can’t wait to see what you make next!!!
As an aroace person, this touched me deeply. Friendship is so important
I love how it goes from point A to point B REVERSES and goes back to point A-B almost like repeating itself❤❤❤
The falling over parallel is what got me QwQ this is so cute and simple, I thoroughly enjoyed it :3
Mia seems toxic even as a friend. Ugh tbh I wanted to see the other character reject her somehow lol there was like a glimpse at the end.
Also, the running in the street at night scene was my favorite because I also go on walks or runs when I’m angry.

the rain slip scene might have been my favorite
bro pt 2 made my cry so fvcking hard because it’s relatable as hell to me 😭
I do
There are no words to explain how much I can relate to this
my sapphic heart is broken
Same. I completely relate to this.
@Regina McCaffrey What's up?
Great camera work, great character interactions, great subtext and quiet moments, I love it!
3:30 not pilgrim harry in the background 💀
Friendship is beautiful, but things can get complicated when too much stock is put into it. Been there, done that.
this is amazing !!! i love it so much, you're so talented, i hope you continue to make those
At first , i though it was a gay film...
I thought the last note would at least say I’m sorry
Uh cant believe how good this is. I kinda relate to the “ leaving me to go with other friends” sorta thing, I really like this short film.
Ugh I have a love hate relationship with this on one hand I relate on the other it hurts me to see her go back to her after all the pain she caused but I need to take my own advice ig
Love it! The silent parts are the best. The final got me puzzled, but it's beautiful nonetheless. Cheers! =]
My friend Luna was like the red-haired girl, except we have been in part three for months now
Literally same. Me and my best friend, also luna, are in part 4
omg this is what is happening with me and my best friend rn. even thought it pains me to admit this, this is relatable on another level
OH MY GOSH this is so great. Truly truly fantastic. Everything about it.
This is really heart warming and beautiful. The actors are amazing and everything just is brilliant. I hope too see more short films. ❤
Why is this so underrated omg? this perfectly portrays teens friendship and i relate to this alot.

❤
I enjoyed this movie. And the music choice (Debussy) is great... Keep doing good job!
so simple, but so deep at the same time
Really great work here, look forward to seeing more from you!
OMG THE TENSION BETWEEN THEM
Omg I love that one clip when the camera spins along with the person in the rain scene
This is seriously amazing. I was so touched by this and the acting is very good.
this is off topic but the intro music and the fact that the main charater is names lily make this even more wholesome (the music is from a horror video game "The evil within 2" who tells the story of the father who'll try everything to save his daughter lily)
amazing. brilliant. wonderful. a work of art. heartbreaking. a cinematic masterpiece.
i though they were gonna fall in love
0:36 her notes 😭😭
And I loved this, the tension between the two omlll

The scenes are soooo pretty
The red is stunning, beautiful hair & I think she has blue eyes, a beautiful human...
OOO THIS REMINDED ME OF ELMAX!!!!
Glad you still making 2023 lgbt short films
This reminds me of how it felt with my ex best friend but now i have my best friend/partner now so the pain of separating was worth it.
Why was this so perfect bro I'm obsessed
This was so good! And i think the actress were amazing!
Love the music choice!! It's as if the film is the illustration of the story the music holds. Beautiful.❤
you ate this up Bella! So proud of you!
;-;
Why does this feel so relatable lol - the fact that Lily looks and acts kinda like me aside xD
pls upload more!! Really like this one. Simple but sweet.

It's of the best I've seen!! Crying, you should make more ❤

I felt this so hard. This was so amazing!! ❤️❤️
Okay can we please get part 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ASAP🥺❤️
“Moms how did you guys meet?”
“Uhm, N o t e s”
POV: You have entomophobia, so when the showed bugs you cringed away and retreated into your inner shell to cry in fear
THE BILLIE SHIRT
part 3 has been my life for about a year now 😀
My style is a lot like the red heads tank top outfit with the flowers and it sucks because everyone thinks I’m straight 😭idk what to do because I don’t wanna change my style …..I wanna be true to myself but no one gets it
