Description:
After a year and a half of waiting to make my short film "Ollie" available for the general public, the moment has arrived to finally share it with all of you. It's remarkable how this project began as a school assignment without putting much effort into the production, but later, when I sat down to edit and weave the narrative together, a wave of appreciation washed over me. I fell in love with the way I had told the story and the powerful message it carried.
Working with my dog Charlie as the main character proved to be a challenge of its own. It took countless hours to coax him into the right positions, and when I think back on this process, I appreciate the dedication required of any filmmaker working with animal actors. While I know there are areas that can be improved, I take immense pride in what I have accomplished as a solo filmmaker. The unexpected reception of "Ollie" at numerous film festivals has astounded me, serving as a testament to the notion that one can create something meaningful with minimal equipment and still garner recognition.
The journey of creating "Ollie" has been a profound learning experience, reinforcing the belief that anyone with passion and determination can produce a piece of cinema that resonates deeply. I am grateful for the opportunity to share this film with the general public, inviting them to witness the magic that unfolds when we embrace the power of storytelling, even in the most humble of circumstances.
Synopsis:
Ollie tells the story of the daily life of a dog at the beginning of the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. The dog realizes that his human has stopped leaving the house for work in the morning. He feels extremely happy that his human stays in the house all day, every day with him. But one day, the human becomes very sick and suddenly is gone. The dog stays alone for many days without knowing if his human will return.

I CANT TELL HOW HAPPY I WAS WHEN I SAW HER😭😭😭😭😭
Thank you! 😁🐶🙏🏼
Me too! 👍😆💕
Me too!! ❤
Me tooooo. I balled my eyes out
So true. Happy that the ending was good❤
What a touching story! With a happy ending. Imagine the number of pets whose humans did not come 😢
Soooo saaad 😭😭😭😭😭💚
😔😔😔💔💔💔
I so didn’t want it to be that ending…😭.
Most of them. Pandemia, abandon, boring, etc.
💔😢
This makes me think of all the people who never came home and all the sweet animal companions who end up in shelters. How my own life I share with my animals is precarious and temporary, just as is our relationships with other humans. Cherish as many moments of love and closeness as you can manage, it's all that's left in the end.
I just adopted a little dog that turned out to be a Lhasa Apso and so sweet. There were two big golden dogs that were so sad. I couldn't get a big dog though.
😢 We are evey thing for them. We do not deserve them especially dogs! ❤
Agree 💯
Yes, and it's good to make contingency plans for our pets in case one day we don't make it back home.
@@PleaseDontEatTheAnimals I'm lucky bc mine will have a loving home no matter what, if I perish. But I realize that's not possible for so many others out there. My dog keeps me alive, that's how amazing dogs are.
This just shredded me. We’re so important to them. Vice-versa, of course, but we don’t eat, play, gain affection and freedom, only when it suits them. Their lifespan is short. Make it good.
❤🎯
I love your use of the word "shredded" . That's exactly how I felt.
Yep. Lost mine 5 months ago at 11.5 yrs old...no matter how much fun we had, it kills me those times i was at work, and they'd pull mandatory overtime.. how much time i lost with her...Make the most of every single day, folks!! Every moment!! Because no matter how much you do together, how many jokes and games and walks and huggie pets...when they're gone? Your grief will having you wish you'd done more..just that extra walk..just another apple slicing treat time...❤
@@globalheart Condolences 🕊 I smiled at “apple slicing treat time.” Drako loves that. Who is Drako?
The Pit Bull mix my son brought home after being told “No.” I’m seeking a good home for him. He cannot go back to the drug house that was willing to trade him for an expensive bike when he was only 2 days old. He had to be bottle fed. I’ve become attached because I end up caring for him. It is not a good time in my life to have a dog, nor can I afford it. He’s grown up large, muscular, and expensive. I’m spending approximately $400 a month on him which I absolutely do not have. Further, I’m turning down work because I don’t want to be away from the dog for too long. I sold my vintage Jeep, the proceeds of which were supposed to go toward buying my house, but instead are going toward the debt I am accruing. I’m hoping to find someone willing to do PET SHARE. With the structure of the family having changed so much in the last 50 yrs, mothers are now at work and dogs are being left in crates or just left alone for too many hours. I am hoping this concept of co-ownership will catch on so that dogs spend less time waiting for owners to come home. Dogs would have 2 families to have adventures with. When one family goes on vacation the other family could step up with love and care. The cost of veterinary care is now astronomical and it is really costly trying to pay for someone to look after your pet. The dog daycares I looked at have between 20 and 25 dogs in one room. That is too stimulating for many dogs. The daycare makes you sign a release saying you understand and agree to the risks…
There has to be a better way. I think co-ownership could work. Rescues might form a structure for this. There would have to be a written agreement. Just an idea. Trying to come up with a solution that puts this foster dog first without continuing to sink me deeper in debt and derail all the plans I had for when my kids finally leave home. Sorry for the tangent. I really feel for your loss. I’ve been through it.
I feel your pain. I'm sorry you lost your best friend. I lost my Emma 10 yrs ago. Not a day goes by, that I think about the love she brought into my life. I'm sure i could have done even more than I did, especially in the end, when her health was failing & I couldn't let her go when she was ready🙏💜💐may your heart heal.
What great movie. I have two wonderful dogs. I recently had a terrible accident and fractured 9 bones and sent to the hospital and didn’t come home for 22 days. I had various friends help out.
I know they were lonely and sad. But when I came home it was great for us all. Such joy!
Thanks for making this movie ❤
Hope you feel better!
So glad you survived and got well! Your little ones must have missed you horribly, glad they made it through and you're all together now!
No special effects, no AI, no big stars and we all love it for the truthfulness of emotion.
Thank you so much! 🙏🏼
Well Cesar Milan did narrate😅
@@calpurniabruchi5742 LOL.
A wonderful short film! And a clear reminder that we must make a loving ❤ arrangements for our animals in case of our illness or death. They deserve that security.
Thank you! 🙏🏼
It's truth but...😪🤚🏻only in USA, where i am from that is impossible! I adopted 4 during cv-19 they were abandoned, hungry and thirst...i am 60 y/o...and honestly i don't have anyone to look over them so...👵🏻🤚🏻 God bless me ❤
@@argierecat5246you need to seek out dog people, make a new friend or ten! 💞 everyone needs doggie friends! I’m fortunate that I have two sisters who live on farms & would take Morrie is anything happened & at least one child who could take him (he’s big!). If people know, they will help you.
@@argierecat5246kind heart saved 4 souls. My #1 concern. Have a pup and have no one to be there if something happens. Need to figure something out😊
@@argierecat5246 Wishing you healthy and long life..stillk, Get to know some like minded pet parents and dog loving groups. Someone will step up when need be.
I was so afraid it would have a sad ending!
My dog just died yesterday, and as much as I'm hurting right now, I couldn't imagine the fear and confusion for a pet whose person never returns. 😢
Great film. Thanks.
I just want to say I'm sorry, I have a 14 yr old sheltie I cry already .in my life I found the best way to heal that broken heart is giving your love to another pet.
Sorry for your loss. We lost our beloved cat to cancer during the summer of 2020. A few months later, my fellow volunteers found us a new rescue to give our home and love to. We will never forget our girl but opening your home and your heart to another helps the healing.
@@arm_613 Thank you. I do already have 2 cats and a horse. It's just my first time dogless in over 49 years.
Abby, I'm so sorry about your own beloved pet just passed! It is such a painful time. Big hugs to you!!
So sorry for your loss.
As a novice filmmaker and dog owner; this hits hard. This is beautiful!
Thank you so much! 🙏🏼
This is great! As a novice dog owner and filmmaker; I was very pleased.
here too :) master!
❤From one dog lover to the next, so agree. Beautiful film of unconditional love
This is one of finest piece of art I have ever witnessed in a form of a short film. As humans we finally got the chance to experience life from a dog’s perspective.
Wow! Thank you so much for those words. I really appreciate it! 🙏🏼
I mean, there are a lot of films with similar concepts so it's not a first, but it's still a cute and sweet film nonetheless.
This is the best film about dog I ever seen in my life
😢👍🏻
❤
We recently lost our 13 year old yellow lab, Dallas, to cancer...this film brought him back to me for a beautiful nine minutes. The resemblance to Dallas is uncanny, I'd like to think he's whispering to us through your film. Thank you, sincerely.
😢
Dallas is the best dog ever! Always remember that.
Hold on to the love…forever.
My yellow lab, Haru looks so identical with the one in this film and I appreciate the film so much!🐾🐾🦮🦮🥰🥰
I’m sure he is 🌸
The best films always make me cry. This made me cry. Thank you for reinforcing the importance of our family members with fur. ❤
Thank you! 🙏🏼
I don't know how I came across this video, but I am glad I did it. The story is simply beautiful. My labrador, Sunny, passed away 2 days ago as he had aggressive skin cancer. He looked almost identical to the one in the video. The video made me cry as I remember the beautiful years spent with him, who was also my best friend. I always tried to imagine what would Sunny tell me if he had a voice. Needless to say, his face expressions helped me understand him so well. Whenever I had to leave the house, I used to tell him: wait for me, I am coming soon, I promise and I love you. He always waited for me so patiently, like the dog in the video. I was his human. A part of me died, when he died. Thank you for this great short film!
@florinacarmen7608 I'm so sorry for your loss. I understand you when you say "a part of me died, when he died". But I'm sure he knew and felt you loved him very much. Think of all the good memories and happy life you lived together, it may help you heal, altough I know we never forget them. 💔😘
Your story made me cry as I also have a dog and I tell the same thing to her “ dad and mum re going out and we will be back soon”. Evry night before we go to bed we whisper in her ears “ Mum and Dad love you the most”
I was in a car accident that left me paralyzed with a C4 spinal cord injury. I spent 10 weeks in a hospital and then 8 weeks in a specialized rehab for PT/OT. When they brought me home by a medical transport on a stretcher, my 2 dogs didn't even noticed I was home. I waited until I got in bed to say their names and when I did the excitement and joy that filled them was crazy... man did this movie bring some memories back for me. Thankfully I was only 19 and lived with my parents at the time, so my dogs didn't have to experience anything like this movie. My heart breaks for all those pets who lost their humans during this pandemic. 💔
Dog gets girl. Dog loses girl................... Dog gets girl back again! Thank God.
Somehow, I’m 9 minutes this managed to make me cry 😢. I didn’t expect this little film about a dog to touch me so. Wow.
Thank you! 🙂🙏🏼
I did.
This is one of the best short films I've ever seen. When I saw the title, I was a bit hesitant to watch because it sounded very boastful. But, after watching it, it made complete sense of how this film garnered the filmmaker more attention at film festivals. Great work, Sadiel. You deserve much praise for this film. It was so heartwarming and made with love. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Thank you so much for your kind words. 🙏🏼🙂
Sorry, but it means only one thing that you haven’t seen too many.
What I especially love is that the man and woman in the house are doing their best to care for several animals whose owners are apparently ill even tho they obviously are not "animal people". I give THEM a lot of credit and love.💕💕 Don't judge others harshly when they are doing their best.
A true Good Samaritan would have given them freedom to roam around the garage and would have taken the two dogs out for walks and supplied a litter box for the cat.
@@vernonfrance2974 Yeah, I was wondering whether the dogs shit in the cage. This was too simplified in the film.
The thought of how many people with pets had basically the same story 'without' the happy ending is chilling & extremely depressing.💔
At 72, it’s my worst fear! I take care of my health and home for my pets. Two dogs and two cats.
Very heartwarming and reality for many pets.
Arrange for someone to take them in case you are not able to.
Broke my heart, reminded me of my lovely dog Red who sadly died at the beginning of the year. Dogs are the best companion and should be treated respectfully and with love. What a touching and thought provoking film. Well done!
This was a real tear jerker. Beautifully written and almost believably narrated by a beautiful loving golden
Labrador dog named Ollie. The music blended beautifully with the story. I wonder if that was Jane’s friend or someone who ran a business sort of taking care of pets, keeping them caged all the time but at least fed. He sure didn't seem to like the animals. It was a nice touch at the end when he so smiled when he saw Ollie’s Jane’s joy and love at being reunited again.
It's a movie !
was PHENOMENAL!!! I literally broke down to tears! The way you portrayed the emotions of Ollie and the ultimate blow with the reunion and the "Fix You" song, got to me real hard and deep. Wish you all the success in Life. This video literally just Healed me. Thank you so much.This
Thank you so much! Nothing makes me happier than seeing my films have such a positive impact on other people. 🙏🏼🙂
I cried too. Such a beautiful film!
💔❤🩹
Animals and dogs don't know security. They just trust and love. Loved the film.
Dogs can't tell us how they feel with words. They tell us with their hearts. "Ollie" is a beautiful reminder to us all that dogs miss us just the same, if it's 15 minutes or 15 days that we've been gone. Cherish every minute with that special being who loves you with every breath they take. Thank you for sharing this touching movie with all of us. It brought more than one tear to my eyes for each and every dog who left my life too soon.
A film to wrench a dog lovers heart. It’s made me think how easily we could allow someone we don’t know well enough to look after our beloved animal in such times.
sooooo happy that the dog got his human back. I felt so sorry for him during his sad basement time. This feeling can only be shared with dog owners.
Beautiful story from the loyal sweet dog’s pov. But it was more hurtful than necessary bc we didn’t get to see the man walk the dog any of the days. And the crate was too small for him to be in all day. I know I’m being nitpicky but we as viewers are supposed to know he’s lonely, sad, worried, confused and honestly bored at this guy’s house without his human mom. The song choice at the end made it even more sad though a happy moment. Thank you for sharing! ❤
I felt very upset about those crates and the co fine meant of all those three pets. I think it would have packed the same punch if they had been at least walked twice a day … and if they had been less confined. I would have been so upset if my friend had “helped” me with my dog by putting him in a tiny crate in a darkened room. I thought that part went overboard and I sure hope it’s not normal treatment for pets in other parts of the world. I’m in Los Angeles, California, U.S.A. I do want to commend the filmmaker on how beautifully the film is shot and edited. The story is very sweet as well, and I like that it was voiced from the dog’s perspective. Yes it was very moving, but I found it to be equally disturbing, and in the end I wanted the girl to know her dog had been abused.
As a student currently taking classes in film - this is a wonderful example that students around the world can and should look up to. The pacing of the film is impeccable and the unique perspective really sets it apart. Excited to check out your other stuff.
Thank you so much!!! 🙏🏼
You caught our friends being themselves. Any human w/ a dog totally and completely relates. Beautiful.
I LOVE THIS!!!! SHORT. SIMPLE. POWERFUL. AND PROFESSIONALLY DONE! This has the look and feel of a movie from Hollywood. Wow Sadiel you make me want to create!
Thank you so much! 🙏🏼
I hope the second episode had her going back to that place and adopting the other dog and cat... poor things... Great job with the movie and showed a time humanity will never forget...
What a sweet thought.
Yes, they didn’t show them getting scritches or walkies & that concerned me greatly.
This is a brilliant movie done by the creator and her dog, Charlie (in description). The cat is Kitty and the dog is Snickers.
I love it! Had me crying at the end haha. Fantastic story. Congrats on all your festival success!
Thanks bud! It means a lot! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
We know how animals are so linked to their human that they suffer when things change. Thank God the woman got better and they were reunited bringing joy to both once again!
A lovely little film about a dog’s needs from a dog’s perspective❤🐕 just adorable!
Thank you! 🙏🏼🙂
Heartbreaking to think what goes through their minds.....when they are loved. I was so worried as I am alone and getting older but now at peace as I have found a wonderful home in case of need.❤
I was scared at the end... then happy. Captures how animals just don't know why the one they love is suddenly gone. Really good storytelling.
I cried😢 when the human went away. This film demonstrates the love between an animal companion and their person.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I love this short film. Thank you.
Thank you so much! 🙏🏼🙂
Always, always, ALWAYS have a plan in place in case you end up in the hospital, or have to leave your animal alone. Don't take the chance that they might be left without any support or taken to a shelter. They depend on you. Don't let them down.
A “bravo” exclamation and warm applause for you. A great touching peace of art❤
Thank you so much! 🙏🏼
On the verge of tears, I kept saying, "Jane, pls don't die, pls".
My guy, you could’ve shot this with an old dad cam and it would’ve still been just as impactful. The story was on point. The way you setup the scenes were on point. The quality of the video was just icing on a great cake. Fantastic job.
Thank you so much! 🙏🏼🙂
I was feeling so bad because I thought she had died and the poor dog's fate could be terrible so I loved the happy ending. Good short film to make us reflect in our pets' fate if we disappear.
Excellent! This short did everything a Oscar winner does. This short made me Laugh, Cry, be Curious & joyful . In my extended family the joke is when newlyweds bring a dog home that he is a starter baby. Meaning if they can raise a happy dog then they can raise a happy little human. Feed them, give them water, deal with poo both letting them go & cleaning it up,take them for health check ups, take them for exercise, have dedicated play time & most of all, give them love, kindness, compassion, patience, and temperance. Now they will be ready to welcome a baby into their home. This short is a reminder that our dogs have so much to offer us. They can draw out the same goodness out of us humans. Bravo Sadie Gomez and cast. Let me know if you’re going to be in the Austin Texas area (SXSW?) so I can shake your hand. If you decide to make your next film project within the central Texas area I would even love to volunteer/ support you in any way I can. This short should run on a loop in every pet shelter & veterinarians office and elementary school. Y’all should have received every award possible. ❤ & continued success.
As a dog trainer, This one got my tears flowing.
Love this short film. I can see why it was in 10 film festivals, great work.
I too have a story but the productions is a little. However
I look forward to finishing it one day and Sharing with the world.
Namaste
Dave Ross
PS
thanks for the feels, It was amazing
Thank you so much Dave! I’m happy you enjoyed it, and I really hope you finish your story one day too. Cheers! 🙂🙏🏼
@@SadielGomez when you pulled me into the dog's prospective. At first I was thinking okay.
Something tole me due to the cinematic to keep going.
Nice video for sure.
Namaste
I may not have yet master the story telling but worth it
Frankly, I began to cry, the instant I saw his human waiting at the car!
I love it, thanks for this beautiful movie. I lost my Dog one year ago after 15 years. I lost a brother, the biggest love of my life. I love you Matisse, forever.
This feels like an audio book with imagery.
This has changed how I will see dogs for the rest of my life and I sincerely thankyou for that
Thank you so much! 🐶🙏🏼
It made me think what my dog might experience. I’m grateful I never got Covid but realize other illness or accidents could take me away. A reminder to plan for a pet’s care just in case. Thank you for a wonderfully done and touching film.
I know nothing of saying how great or such a film is, but my heart aches and rejoices. I did not hold back tears at the end. Thank you for allowing me to see this at no cost. I would not otherwise been able to see. I wish all abandoned animals I see on rescue shows could result in such as this. I now think perhaps many do find their loved ones or new loved ones again. Thank you!
I wanted to cry. This is a real inspiration for us beginners. Thanks Sadiel Gomez, from the bottom of our hearts❤
Thank you so much for watching, and for those kind words! 🙏🏼🙂
I have to be healthy and alive for them. I need to guide them through in this world. I always pray that i will be here for them all the way.
I'm a doggo mom of two yellow Labradors and I teared up for most of this film! Beautifully done!!
Wow! Love this. So many pets lost their human(s) worldwide. I'm glad this one showed a happy ending. Congrats on your success! Well done.😊
Like the camera work and the following shot of the dog. BUT my favorite scene was the scene when the dog was getting picked up by the guy and it felt very professional and creative.
Thank you! I was the guy. Haha! 😎🙏🏼
I’m out of words- The way that you made such an engaging story that made me feel so invested in what was going on just shows how good of a storyteller you are. Even as a student, you really did pull it off. Props to you and your team! I’m glad it got into film festivals, this deserves to be seen by many! I’m an aspiring filmmaker and storyteller myself, and seeing this really motivates me to go above and beyond. I can’t wait to see what’s next from you, glad i was able to stumble soon this masterpiece! Keep going, you WILL be doing amazing things. 🙏
Thank you so much! Seeing fellow filmmakers motivated by my work is one of the best feelings I could experience. I truly appreciate it! 🙏🏼
Just watched your touching film well done . Tears came as soon as the shot of the dog on the bed inclining his head , feeling his realization . The famous quote of acting with animals and children, well you bought the right viewpoint to a story that must have touched many. Congrats 🍾
@@wendyrose8430 Thank you! 🙏🏼
When we leave our dog at the vet’s dog hotel for 3 days. our dog ran to us just like the dog in the short. Very touching!
I have a sweet dog who was abused in his former life, and is slowly healing. He follows me everywhere - I have to be careful when I turn around in the kitchen, not to trip over him. Once I had to go out of town for a week, to take care of my dad. Bueno saw me get in the car with my suitcase and knew this was not just a grocery trip. He followed me down the road until the rest of my family called him back. When I got home at the end of the week, my house guest told me that Bueno had spent the whole week, day and night, lying beside my bed, where he sleeps when I'm home. ❤
I'm a wedding film maker, This is truly exceptional! It shows you don't need the best gear or highest budget to create something truely special.....within 9 minutes. Well done! Also this makes me never want to put my dog in a kennel again haha
Thank you so much! 🙏🏼🙂
A good kennel will offer lots of playtime, exercise, enrichment, treats, etc. The dog will remember and be HAPPY to go there if it's a good place (I used to tell my dog a day or two before I had to drop her off that she was going to doggy camp soon, and she'd always get a little excited with a big smile, as well as happily greet the owner when we did get there, and go off with him with her tail wagging), and, of course, they will still also be very happy to see you again too.
This is one of the most beautiful things I've seen, and as a dog owner it hits hard. Well done!
Thank you so much! 🙏🏼
This is the reason why i strive to be healthy. I wanna be able to take care of my dog until her last breath.
I CRIED MY EYES OUT!!! This was so beautifully done, thank you for giving a voice to animals! 🥰
Thank you so much! 🙏🏼🙂
A simple story told beautifully 👌
Thank you! 🙏🏼🙂
Loved it, a beautiful and emotional film. The context brought to my mind a lot of sad memories and the feeling of loneliness that we all experienced a few time ago. To see and to hear these emotions from the perspective of Ollie, this cute and wonderful dog, was really incredible ❤
Thank you so much for those words brother 🙏🏼❤️
Bravo brother this is a wonderful beautiful film I am also a dog lover myself and new to filmmaking so this just inspired me even more to just start you have a new subscriber my friend! 💪🏼
@@jesuscosme1965 Thank you so much! I’m really glad this inspired you; that’s all I need to hear as a creator. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
A beautiful Film, so glad so many film goers were able to see your great take on the perspective of all the confused animals who also had to go through their own journeys during the pandemic. It is a 10 out of 10 for me!
Thank you so much! 🙏🏼
Touching story with a beautiful ending. I believed all dogs think the same, wishing their owners work from home, spending every moment with them. Good job, keep it up. You have a bright future.
This is AMAZING!!! ❤👏👏 I NEVER cry during any film, so this was a first, I was NOT expecting Jane to supposedly pass away and then COME BACK!! IT WAS BEAUTIFUL😭!! (also Ollie is SO CUTE!!)
Thank you so much! 🙏🏼🙂
So emotional. I had to cry at the end. Well done. Congrats to your festival success.
Thank you so much! 🙏🏼🙂
We are their world. And they are the purest love we will ever know.
A lovely piece of work and the perspective of the companion dog is really powerful. I cried at the end.
Art is described as something that makes you feel. This is art!❤
Thank you! 🙏🏼
damn ! this is so freaking good , storytelling and element of pleasantful surprise at it's peak. Loved how you captured the dog's expressions and movements.
Thank you so much! 🙏🏼🙂
Nicely done! Very original, wonderfully poignant! It covers the gamut of emotions, and the ending is sweet! No wonder you got such an enthusiastic response. Kudos!
Thank you so much! 🙏🏼
Thank you for the happy ending cause my heart wouldn´t have been able to take it. This hits home because I also had to leave my senior dog behind with my dad when COVID started and we were apart for about half a year. Iit really tough and I still remember the day that we were reunited. She passed a year later at 14 yrs old and I´m just glad that we were able to be together on her last year with me.
Just discovered this now. Wow. Really poignant, funny, sad at times and really hit me in the feels. Well done. Fantastic piece of work. You should be very proud. Thank you for sharing your talent :)
Thank you so much for those words. It means a lot to me. I’m really happy you liked it! 🙏🏼
விலங்குகளும் பறவைகளும் நம் வாழ்வில் என்றும் இணை பிரியாத உண்மையான நண்பர்கள். அவைகள் நமக்கு நிறைய
பாடங்களை கற்றுத் தரும்.
Wow! That ending was so obvious but shown in such a way that it captivated us. Nice piece of work. ❤ Thanks to the maker and everybody involved.
Just crying… simple , emotionally beautiful! Thanks Sadiel, keep going!!!
What a lovely lovely film! I love it! The actors are top notch, especially the furry one. I love this so much. Wonderful job!!
Thank you so much! 🙏🏼🙂
This was a great film. Interesting point of view, and many things I have thought about as well, like how much my dogs probably love that I still work from home all day lol.
Thank you so much! And say hi to your dog from me. 😄🙏🏼
bro at the end it was so emotional , I WAS TOTALLY OUT OF WORDS but as a film student i got to learn that a good flims can be made on low budget
Thank you so much! 🙏🏼
Lovely story. I love how the doggy was so perceptive and knew the lady who fed him was unhappy. Just like a dog!
the anxiety that the there was a possibility of the 'other ending'! Phew
Yeah! But Ollie deserve a happy ending 🐶🙂
Omg i thought she died
Give the dog an oscar. What a wonderful act!
And now I'm crying. Well done!
This film was so moving. I felt so many emotions while watching it. It’s beautiful.
Standing ovation … so beautiful … thank you for this gift. ❤
Thank you! 🙏🏼
This movie was a flashback to the time I , my family and my dog had gone through. I was in the hospital for a whole month during COVID. My poor Bujo ( my dog ) was a pet boarding for a month. Poor Bujo , he must have thought that we had abandoned him.
So few of us have spent time thinking from our pets' perspective. This is a truly thought provoking piece.
Thank you! 🙂🐶
Just love it! cried at the end! Thank you for sharing!
THIS IS WHAT ART IS. This movie moved me to tears. The fear and uncertainty of COVID, but through a dog's eyes, really brought home the horror of what was done by the government to us. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS.
This is a magnificent piece of art. I cried so hard.
It made me cry so bad! But I was so happy when I saw her back. As a dog owner it hit hard! This was phenomenal ❤
Thank you so much! 🙏🏼🐶
I wanted to cry! 😢
Beautiful photograph and lovely narrated🌹
I can see why you got into all those film festivals. A touching, well shot story. Well done!
I cried…how beautiful!
Such a beautiful short movie! It brought tears to my eyes and the bond one shares with his/her pet dog is beyond imagination. No demands, no fights, no heartbreaks and only Love!
Thank you! 🙏🏼🙂
I was expecting something else to happen, but this is a beautiful example of how bad things don't always have a bad ending, loved it!!!
A tearjerker. I wish for a world where there is love and care for all beings. And that when we are ill our friends will lovingly take care of our beloved pets for us. Walk them, feed them, cuddle them and reassure them and us. A very sweet and touching film.
Thank you! 🙏🏼
