Second Thought

This is a good first-effort film from these two. Not perfect, not awful. The stars here are Art and Chris, and whoever the old guys are.

Chris' implied desire for intimacy vs. Art's desire to get his rocks off is well-illustrated and poignant. A little more lead-up could have been helpful, and the photography could have been more crisp and less filmed-through-cheesecloth looking. For a low-budget effort, it's well done and I'm certain that they have learned a lot in self-producing this effort. Some vocalization might have helped define the plot better; maybe next film.

Generally speaking, I'm impressed and happy with the film. There's no major errors in visuals, plot or continuity. Both guys are handsome and act provocative, though they don't seem at all like 'strangers in the night', as they seem to be intended to be.

By the way, Bret LaBelle is nothing more than a 2-second cameo here, and he's only here because his condition for donating production funding for the flick was that he had to be in it. Fortunately, the film's editor edited him as much out of it as possible. He contributes zero to this film, or to any film, as far as I can tell. He's just a guy with dollars who wants to hang around these guys.

Kudos to Chris and Art for a good effort. Can't wait to watch what's coming next!

Shows what you can do nowadays with just a little money but a lot of thought. Love the mirroring of the actions of the two main actors as youngsters and oldies. To get the greatest audience I liked was done in tegard dialogue. The two main actors really looked like they were falling in love. I also think that Provincetown would love the use of the town as the backdrop. The big question the short brings up is the still problematic question of how gays can find love and the whole hookup situation. My favourite moment was the skateboard and bicycle scene. Can't wait to see what will be produced by this talented duo.

I hope these two YouTube and social media content creators continue to make videos and films together. This short film left me wanting to know more about what happened in the lives of the two main characters during the 30 years of their relationship. The storyline here was clear despite the fact that there was no dialog audible to the viewer. The music choices contribute to the successful storytelling, as does the expert editing. The performances of the two main characters were very naturalistic and believable. This is a very heartwarming short film. I highly recommend it, especially to others aspiring to make short or longer films. 🎃

I really enjoyed every minute off it ! Thumbs up for all the work that Art, Chris and all the others who have worked on this !

In the 6minute during video they give us a story where I think a lot of people will recognize themselves in ! From getting ghosted after the one time hookup to going on multiple dates and creating a bound that leads to an endless love story!

Also excellent choice of location for filming! Provincetown one of the favorite locations for lgbtq community!

My conclusion is ! Go to YouTube and go watch "second thought" ! You will see you're not gonna regret it ;-)

This film, without dialog, captures a key moment in two young lives. I'm sure many viewers can look back on their own lives and say to themselves "what if?"

Two young men arrange a meet-up in P-Town. This film explores options and outcomes. The photography captures this little town on the tip of Cape Cod effortlessly. They used the imagery of the town metaphorically to enhance the story line. Those who've been to Provincetown will understand the visual idioms.

I had a similar moment over 40 years ago. Amazing how this young crew captured my feelings, then and now. It took me back and made me smile. I'm still smiling.

Watch it more than once. Like a parable you will find more than one level of meaning.
