Second Thought

It was cute but this could have just been a music video. Take any LGBTQ coming of age song (or Taylor Swift song) and just throw it over the video and it might have worked better. It just seems like another attention seeking video from these 2 Internet D-List / TikTok celebrities looking for Klout & clicks and to grow their following. There wasn't really any acting going on especially if you have seen any of their "other content". Someone with a better camera and better lighting equipment followed them around making this video. The only reason it's getting 5 stars and not 3 is for the lighting and cinematography. It's playful and cute but looks like it belongs on a PG-13 only fans instead of imdb.

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.

"Second Thought" is a captivating short film that skillfully explores the consequences of choices. The scenes are meticulously crafted, and the chemistry between Chris and Art is palpable, adding depth and authenticity to the narrative. The cinematography is impressive, with thoughtful use of lighting and angles that enhance the emotional impact of each scene. As their first significant attempt at filmmaking, they've delivered an impressive and mature piece. The way they present the theme of choice and outcome is both thought-provoking and engaging, encouraging viewers to reflect on their own decisions. I eagerly anticipate more projects from this talented duo in the future, as they clearly have a bright path ahead in the film industry. 🎃

Two teenagers waking up, being part of same morning routine and leaving to pressumed cool location gay friendly.

A message on a social media web, a date, a hot night. And, maybe , nothing more.

But , only maybe.

The simplicity of story, the good looking young actors, the familiar scenes are, at the first sight, the basic virtues of this short film.

But the images about same young men after 30 years are the top of the cake. And the mixture of melancholia and good slice of hope are precious for precise definition of happiness near beloved one.

In short, just charming , scene by scene and, indeed, not only as homosexual story, admirable crafted.

I love this short film. It does speak in so many volumes within the LGBTQIA+ community. It really moved me into tears cause it's truthful, authentic and on point. It touches base on what some of us expierenced in real life. I love everything about it! More short films need to be created in this category on how many of us relate to it. We need more content creators to share their stories or recreate scenes that have total relation to this. If anything needed to be changed by it, I don't think so at all. It's the best short film, at least to me it is. Hopefully this short film can change someone's perspective on how they view the dating life. It's not always the same. 🎃
