Second Thought

In less than seven minutes, Second Thought brilliantly forces the audience to confront the reality of life altering consequences caused by chosen behaviors. The film dramatically depicts the polar opposite outcomes, between opportunities lost by shallow behavior, versus opportunities gained by earnest and profound behavior.

The storyline is set in the context of intimacy. It explores and reveals the emotional vacancy of hookup culture, the using and disposing of people as objects to satisfy an addiction to instant gratification, and the resulting inevitable failure to find and form any meaningful relationship to secure the most fundamentally essential human need for deeper and durable intimacy...

Versus...

The alternative possibility of achieving the most rewarding result of a lifetime, one of true happiness that only exists in the finding and nurturing of passionate romantic love between two humans sharing the ultimate connection of mind, body, and soul.

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. 🎃

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.

"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. 🎃

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 ;-)
