    I cried through this entire thing, for four or five different reasons. This video resonated with my soul. I don't know how else to tell you what it did to me
    Thank you so much.

    As a less social guy, I've had my fair share of long distance relationships. This speaks to me on a personal level. Talking to her every night, playing games with her, watching movies with her, telling her how much I loved her... and yet I never even really knew her, I just knew what she wanted to show me.
    Those things usually never last, and it didn't in my case, but it feels so real for a time, before the distance becomes less of a hill and more of a wall, eventually stopping things altogether. I'll never forget you Victoria, but I'm glad we moved on all those years ago.

    This is really good. It perfectly describes this new time where you can talk to anyone without even seeing their face, eyes, their expressions... Nowadays people, with all this technology, feel lonelier than ever. Chatting online is great and all, but nothing really beats the warmth of another human being.

    Hi Sean, I must say that I've been following your work for a while and you're a great inspiration to me. Your movies are the ones that I wish I could make, but I cannot. I love how fresh your ideas are and how they're rooted within the reality, yet it somehow feels surreal. I've wanted to give you my most sincere compliment, so here it is.
    I hope I see more new works from you soon.

      @SeanBuckelew  7 років тому +8

      Wow, thank you so much that is the nicest comment I've ever received! but don't say you can't, I think it's just letting bits of your own life and personal experience enter into your work (which can be hard, especially with animation, which is like working in slow motion). Thanks again for the comment, made my day :)

    This was easily my favorite shorts that played at Ottawa International. I don't often say this, but it's one of the few things that I feel truly speaks to someone who came of age in the internet era. Every detail of it is something I've experienced.
    Thank you for making this.

    Yes, it's finally up! I fell in love with this when I saw Strangers, and was sad when I couldn't find it anywhere. It's so beautiful, and a really cool concept. I can't imagine how much time and effort had to go into making it.

  • @destinyjoseph878
    @destinyjoseph878 7 років тому +9

    I saw this yesterday at the Late Night Works screening in NYC (I was the girl with the glasses that asked if this story was personal) and I absolutely fell in love with this. Besides the AMAZING storyline, some of little details really make this such a great film. For example, the two anime - like characters that CherryPie79 and SumrEvryDay turn into are the same characters on poster seen on the wall in the very beginning. And then the fireworks that's on the background of CherryPie79's computer tie into the fireworks in her dream world. Plus the part where SumrEvryDay's 'face" turned back into an emoticon and the fireworks turned into the still computer images thus making CherryPie79 realize that the digital escape they're both in is only that. And I think the faces changing into other characters represent the anonymity of their sorta online relationship. This was my favorite film of the night! So beautiful, 10/10 😁👍

    So pure and so sad.. that the advanced means of communication which suppose to be bringing people together, actually make them as distant and remote as galaxies, by substituting the real life for an idea about real life.. A very true art, this.
