    Great story

    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 ;-)

    AMAZING SHORT FILM

    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. πŸŽƒ

    Wow!

    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.

    A Heartwarming Short Film

    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. πŸŽƒ

    Choices have Outcomes.

    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.
