Omg Im really shocked. This is like a real movie. All stars acting was great esp Julie. She looks sososo sweet and pretty like a real actress. Kurt, you are a genius seriously. You are talented. Script, Sound..all great. AWESOME
Wow Kurt I was already impressed with the amount of effort,time and determination you showed in your music videos. But this is truly spectacular. Just to find out you had this much talent doing something you loved the most, that long ago proves to be a great thing. Your conception and interpretation of your films and music vids are truly well done. And the inspiration for your film shows the mind of quite a great film maker. With alot to look forward to. I know this long, long overdue but, Congrats on a film truly well done and congrats on showing the vision of true artist whether it's film or music
When they kiss and Kurt is saying "alright 2010 - are you ready to graduate"? What a peak..the music and the friend checking that one off in the book. Absolutely amazing.
Is this what they say at the very end scene of film: "You know we met before graduating and we're not going to be here next year, eventhough I am doing next year... but I do know that you are the only girl I've ever met who want to scream out over the city, throw your books after the finals, or interupt me in the middle... Frankly Katy, you are the coolest girl I've ever met, I don't know WE'RE GONNA BE NEXT YEAR???? or what you gonna be doing but I just couldn't watch you leave here without telling you that..."? I love it so bad
Lol, you know...9 years later, this video still inspires me and for me, though my moment hasn't happened yet with a girl like this, I always give my all and say everything I can to the people I care about for the obvious reasons to never leave anything out and say it all.
Too Long???? Not at all!!! You should have made it an 80 minute movie or longer. They way you kept changing camera angles and mixed in the background music made your film to be professional grade level. I would really like to know what video editing software you used to make your film.
It's been 12 years since this came out and truthfully, the only thing that doesn't hold up is the audio lol. This is an absolutely brilliant short film. The writing the acting the storytelling, so well done.
Commentary: 6:07 Does college really have educated discussions like this? Because if so I am very excited. 7:43 Lol me at the end of each semester 8:23 Damn I'm sorry LOL 8:52 Julie Shain is really good at acting and super pretty. Does she act in anything else besides College Musical? 10:16 Katie kinda reminds me of Margo from Paper Towns 10:52 OMG KURT 11:23 DEEP ASF. I REALLY WANNA GO TO YALE NOW. BUT IM TOO DUMB. BUT I REALLY WANNA GO. OKAY SECOND SEMESTER ONWARDS (FROM TENTH GRADE) I WILL BE THE BEST STUDENT EVER. KURT HOW DID YOU MANAGE MUSIC AND STUDYING? YOU'RE THE EPITOME OF AWESOMENESS!!!!
I will make the statement that as we get older we really miss these times when life was as simple as school and studying, I'm only 25 but I feel like its never going to be as amazing as when I was in high school or college. This is a wonderful video, I really miss those times.
the song just really makes it all even more magical and special. I remember watching the film the first time and then the song started. Was totally new to both Kurt and Sam, so had to see who Sam were. What an amazing film and song..so beautiful
What a beautiful little tale. Very impressed, and very very well done. Julie is such a beautiful and so expressive with her eyes. Impossible not to be moved and happy at the same time watching this! Keep up the good work Kurt.
GREAT JOB, Kurt! Great way to sum up how most people tend to forget to say what they really NEED to say! Sometimes the best ideas and the BEST situations are someone's well hidden secret! Say what you have to say and be FREE of doubt! Your life will improve with just that much more added to it! I LOVE the short and the message it brought! BRAVO!
Kurt make more short films like this. I see you are mostly doing music videos but I keep coming back to this short film , It's the first video where I discovered you. Keep it up. Hope to see you make it big in the film industry. You and Wong Fu
Class of 2011, I'm getting ready to graduate and this video just showed me that I still have things to say before time runs out. This was purely an incredible video. Thanks for sharing! Nothing left unsaid
Such a beautiful and "feel-good" tale. So beautiful and gives that feeling of wonder, hope and encouragement. Can't believe you were 22 when you did this, amazing talent.
I had a moment, yesterday, when I was looking out over a view at night and thought about screaming just because of this short film. I think it's full of really amazing moments.
The word "Masterpiece" definitely comes to mind. Characters had depth, the story was humorous but was driven and had serious moments and a great end. Wish there was more :)
This is an awesome short film!! It was one of those clips that you never wanted to end. What you did is a very hard thing to do. You made people fall in love with the characters in a short amount of time. You have and amazing talent; one I wish I had
This is just so awesome. You are one of the most talented and creative people on this planet. This movie is just so professional. I hope you all the luck. We're always there to encourage you;-) ;-) Kurt you're amazing, so is this movie and all those people who contributed in making this movie ★★★★★
Well, the visual quality, the sweet the story and the wonderful music could as-well had been something out of a Hollywood production. Apparently Kurt was in his very early 20's when he did this - that guy never seizes to amaze me! The next moment you see the guy playing the harp. Pretty crazy.
Such a beautiful film! I love how fully it tells the story despite being only 12 minutes :) Oh, and Don't Want an Ending has got to be one of my favourite songs of all time!
Hands down to Kurt.. This is really good.. This deserves to be seen in the big screen.. You got to make that when you were senior? Wow, you are so talented... hands down...
This so amazing! Great, great work! Props to whoever wrote the script as well; not too cheesy but still touches your heart. Also, the acting is perfect, its seems very real and not forced. I'm very impressed! Excellent!
This was really really touching-absolutely admazing! The actors, the scenery, the camera shots and the directing was absolutely stunning and I wanted to see more! it wasn't enough and I'm sure that your Yale graduating class would have also been touched. The grounds at Yale are admazing!! Brilliant work and please keep on continuing with these brilliant videos!!! and Sam singing at the end was really beautiful!
Seriously? Incredibly lovely and sweet. So sweet it can give cavities. Thank you for the mood-lifter. People sometimes forget that it isn't all darkness and grief.
wow. this is absolutly incredible. For someone like me who really wants to have a future in directing, producing, and editing movies, this is such an inspiring thing to watch. You truly inspire me to follow my dreams of doing somthing like this. AMAZING. thats all i can say. You should be very proud of your work.
Amazing film, Kurt! It was well-worth the twelve minutes! And congratulations on playing it in front of your class! They're lucky to have you in their midst!
I watched this when it first came out, 3 years ago, and I remember thinking that the song at the ending was the best part and yesterday I was able to see Sam and Kurt perform it live! :)
Okay, I honestly can't believe that this wasn't a real movie. I mean, it looked like a movie, with the emotions and plot and stuff like that. And then the song playing in the credits! IF I WATCHED THIS WITH THE LIGHTS IN MY ROOM OFF, I COULD'VE BELIEVED THAT I WAS IN AN ACTUAL THEATER!!! xD
Wow such gifts!!! You are brilliantly amazing! It is probably on your mind so go start making movies. Millions & billions would watch. So proud of you!!!!
Darn i wish it was longer =/ we needed more Kurt in this video :( sad face Anyways that was epiclly amazing I loved it the whole time! I LOVED how you put Sam singing at the end! I LOVE IT SO MUCH
very sweet short. wonderfully written and executed so that it was not superficial at all. everyone involved in this piece showed excellent potential in all areas of this production. excellent work, congratulations!
Haha I just graduated and I love this. I am most definitely the guy who said "I'm feeling frisky!" in the middle of studying. I was always demanding we go on adventures during the exam period haha.
i am so impressed. i was expecting some crappy home made video and to be honest i only really watched it becauseit said how much it would mean to you in the paragraph above :P i have a lot of respect for you and i love all the music you and sam tsui produce! this video was actually so good! really good acting and well edited! iimmppprreessiivvveee
Whoa I watched this two years and I loved it! Then i started watching your videos with Max about a month or two ago and loved those. I never knew you did this. You are very talents Kurt! =) A great little discovery for the day
That was so good! It really struck a chord with me, though it made me a little sad because it reminds me of a hard time I went through just like this, but unfortunately there were some important things that were Left Unsaid.
Kurt Hugo Schneider you are amazing man i had a vision that i was in a movie like this you made it & it made a lot of money one day i will be in a movie like this i hope some days keep doing it man.
i really like the short film its very inspirational kurt you are one hell of a genius your a great filmmaker and an awesome producer i am a fan of your work Goodluck on your coming graduation Godspeed
This really really good!!!!!! The clip of students expressing thoughts on Aristotle's theory is just soo hilarious XD i feel so connected with that!! and I especially love the heroine and the hero, they all look perfect!
Omg Im really shocked. This is like a real movie. All stars acting was great esp Julie. She looks sososo sweet and pretty like a real actress. Kurt, you are a genius seriously. You are talented. Script, Sound..all great. AWESOME
Ariel Dayoung Kim Of course is a "real" movie. Those dudes have more money in their lunch boxes than my annual income.
This deserves way more likes and views.
omg. 10 years later and I still remembered 1st, 5th, last. I even tried it in a couple of my college classes - worked pretty well.
Still to this day one of my favorite most formative short films
Wow Kurt I was already impressed with the amount of effort,time and determination you showed in your music videos. But this is truly spectacular. Just to find out you had this much talent doing something you loved the most, that long ago proves to be a great thing. Your conception and interpretation of your films and music vids are truly well done. And the inspiration for your film shows the mind of quite a great film maker. With alot to look forward to. I know this long, long overdue but, Congrats on a film truly well done and congrats on showing the vision of true artist whether it's film or music
Over the years I've seen this movie (yes it's a movie) for 10 times and it's still great!
Oh my gash when suddenly Kurt bombed in I had to smile SO hard x3
When they kiss and Kurt is saying "alright 2010 - are you ready to graduate"? What a peak..the music and the friend checking that one off in the book.
Absolutely amazing.
Is this what they say at the very end scene of film: "You know we met before graduating and we're not going to be here next year, eventhough I am doing next year... but I do know that you are the only girl I've ever met who want to scream out over the city, throw your books after the finals, or interupt me in the middle...

I love it so bad
the best 12mins of my life..
Kurt's the most talented & creative guy to have graduated from Yale!
Lol, you know...9 years later, this video still inspires me and for me, though my moment hasn't happened yet with a girl like this, I always give my all and say everything I can to the people I care about for the obvious reasons to never leave anything out and say it all.
I just laughed seeing Kurt have only 5 Seconds of Screen time XD
Which is 5 seconds more than he had in College Musical.
And also in the background in the begin beginning, no one noticed that
JUST CAME FROM WATCHING THE MOVIE!! LOVED IT
JACKIE AND THE BOYFRIEND!
Too much information...
proud of you Kurt:)you should be proud of this piece of work, its an amazing piece of art
Spent about an hour searching by for “first, fifth, last.” Couldn’t remember which UA-camr it was!
Favourite scene!
i graduate from college today in a few hours! wanted to see this again before it happens! Class of 2014!
Too Long???? Not at all!!! You should have made it an 80 minute movie or longer. They way you kept changing camera angles and mixed in the background music made your film to be professional grade level. I would really like to know what video editing software you used to make your film.

i missed the live movie, can you give me the link to watch it?
ikr!!! i wanted to watch it so badly.. missed it -.-
No link. Buy / rent on iTunes or Google play.
uuughhhh
What does she tell him at the end before she kisses him?
"You're at least a little bit cool yourself."
But.. She's Sam's girl..
Hahaha! Right?! College Musical!!!
the song just really makes it all even more magical and special.
I remember watching the film the first time and then the song started.
Was totally new to both Kurt and Sam, so had to see who Sam were.
What an amazing film and song..so beautiful
this was beautiful!!! and a beautiful ended song by my favorite singer Sam Tsui!!!
There are moments in my life where I think people are amazing, and then there are moments like this. I feel infinite.
Kurt, you are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO talented! You can do music, movie, and all the related stuffs.. shine out your awesomeness to the world.!
What a beautiful little tale. Very impressed, and very very well done.
Julie is such a beautiful and so expressive with her eyes.
Impossible not to be moved and happy at the same time watching this!
Keep up the good work Kurt.
the song at the end is the most beautiful end for a film!
Sam Tsui is so much AWESOME!
And Kurt you know you're AWESOME too!
GREAT JOB, Kurt! Great way to sum up how most people tend to forget to say what they really NEED to say! Sometimes the best ideas and the BEST situations are someone's well hidden secret! Say what you have to say and be FREE of doubt! Your life will improve with just that much more added to it! I LOVE the short and the message it brought! BRAVO!

Can't believe you were 22 when you did this, amazing talent.
I TOTALLY LOVE how the ending song is "Don't Want An Ending", it just fits perfectly, and it's a BRILLIANT song
i just watched this 5 times in a row and still loved it! Make for Films!
That was amazing just like College musical the movie, you truly are an amazing director Kurt!! Keep it up!!
This video never fails to make me smile, Kurt you need to make a full length film like this, really a lovely piece of film :D
I watch this so many times it's not even funny. I wish this was a full length movie because it is just phenomenal! Great work Kurt.
This is the first thing making me cry in a loooong while.. Thanks Kurt Schneider!
I had a moment, yesterday, when I was looking out over a view at night and thought about screaming just because of this short film. I think it's full of really amazing moments.
The word "Masterpiece" definitely comes to mind. Characters had depth, the story was humorous but was driven and had serious moments and a great end. Wish there was more :)

The level of production, cinematography, everythiing basically is truly amazing
Wow, what a marvelously talented group of storytellers! Now I know who to watch for. Awesome job.
thought that there would be a few tears while i watched this, but i just smiled when she kissed him... great video!! two thumbs up!!! LOVED IT!!!!!
Wow this is wonderful. I love watching shorts and this may actually be one of my favorites
Well, the visual quality, the sweet the story and the wonderful music could as-well had been something out of a Hollywood production. Apparently Kurt was in his very early 20's when he did this - that guy never seizes to amaze me! The next moment you see the guy playing the harp. Pretty crazy.

Hands down to Kurt.. This is really good.. This deserves to be seen in the big screen.. You got to make that when you were senior? Wow, you are so talented...
hands down...
REALLY great acting, WOW. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful short. I'm in awe of your talents, Kurt Schneider & team.
I'm like speechless, that was beautifully put together. Why are you not directing professionally yet?! This was definately worth the 13 minutes! :)
This so amazing! Great, great work! Props to whoever wrote the script as well; not too cheesy but still touches your heart. Also, the acting is perfect, its seems very real and not forced. I'm very impressed! Excellent!
You have so much talent. This movie looked like it was shot professionally, and it is a lot better than what's out these days. Good job!
This was really really touching-absolutely admazing! The actors, the scenery, the camera shots and the directing was absolutely stunning and I wanted to see more! it wasn't enough and I'm sure that your Yale graduating class would have also been touched. The grounds at Yale are admazing!! Brilliant work and please keep on continuing with these brilliant videos!!! and Sam singing at the end was really beautiful!
Actually, it deserves more view :(((. I love every single sentences they say. It is short but talented director does make it a real film. :D
Seriously? Incredibly lovely and sweet. So sweet it can give cavities. Thank you for the mood-lifter. People sometimes forget that it isn't all darkness and grief.
Back to the yearly rewatch of this masterpiece that gets me motivated

Everyone who is part of this film is TALENTED. This is amazing! great job :)
THE ENDING SONG !! *TRIGGERED*
Amazing film, Kurt! It was well-worth the twelve minutes! And congratulations on playing it in front of your class! They're lucky to have you in their midst!
Such a meaningful film I've ever seen !, especially for a senior student like me.:)
All videos you made are totally awesome.
This is the best twelve and a half minutes I've spent on youtube. really well done!
I watched this when it first came out, 3 years ago, and I remember thinking that the song at the ending was the best part and yesterday I was able to see Sam and Kurt perform it live! :)
This was the best film of that year. Not the best student film. Not the best short. This was the best film of the year.
I loved this. It actually brought tears to my eyes, which is quite a feat for a 12-minute video. Thanks for making and posting it here. :)
First and foremost, beautiful direction! I thoroughly enjoyed every single element in your movie, Kurt.
9 years later, damn, that was great memories, cool to watch again :D
Sam's song fits so well at the end of this!!! this was amzing great this was amazing!
If this was turned into a movie, I think that by the first week, it would be sold out. Great video.
Okay, I honestly can't believe that this wasn't a real movie. I mean, it looked like a movie, with the emotions and plot and stuff like that. And then the song playing in the credits! IF I WATCHED THIS WITH THE LIGHTS IN MY ROOM OFF, I COULD'VE BELIEVED THAT I WAS IN AN ACTUAL THEATER!!! xD
Wow such gifts!!! You are brilliantly amazing! It is probably on your mind so go start making movies. Millions & billions would watch. So proud of you!!!!
