Plot twist: Hannah actually has 20/20 vision which is why she plays better without the glasses! 🧐
Shes actually Superwoman.
😂😂😂 she don't need em, just like she doesn't need no bums named Josh!
She's actually the most powerful woman 😍 This short film is so good 😊 great job 👏🏼
Lauren, avresti meritato molto più successo. Sei un'ottima attrice/cantante/artista marziale. Inoltre sei esteticamente bellissima e simpatica. Ti auguro il meglio per il futuro. Complimenti a te!
I feel like I need to take a bath and drink my sorrows away like Uncle George. He has his priorities straight!
Literally the only way to handle life.
You can learn a lot of life lessons from Uncle George! ALWAYS COUNT ON UNCLE GEORGE!
This was great, but he had a door mat to his car! 😂
You mean his Home!
I'm glad people find that funny. It made me giggle... a lot... when we came up with it haha
"Half this game is 90% mental." ... Pure gold
😂😂😂 funny thing is that line was born out of Andrew just misspeaking.
omg this was so good! i loved this. the acting was believable and the lighting and sets were creative. great job :)
"with that tight ass" HAHA love it! Also, I wish my makeup and hair becomes flawless when I take my glasses off
Wait a minute.... isn't that how it happens!?
@@Yeagddf I mean... YUP! That's exactly how that happens!
I really need to get some glasses.
My god the mailbox is in the car and then gets mentioned later on- a brick joke with A MAILBOX thats the kind of detail you notice on 2nd viewing, exceptional level of thought in this
haha it's always the little things like that that make me the happiest
What a great short! That quality! The acting was good! The uncle definitely nailed the acting. Haha. Love the custom magz though. Lmao! Balls Magazine. Lmao. The innuendo on this was to hilarious! Kinda felt like American Pie almost. The uncle kinda looked like one of the actors from AP. Haha.
Thanks a lot man! Appreciate the kind words. Glad you enjoyed the short!
@@ThinkingArtEntertainment Will there be any BTS? The type of camera? etc. :)
Total quality from top to bottom. Best of luck at Philadelphia 48 Hour Film Project!
Thank you so much! We will need it :D
“1/2 this game is 90% Mental” and I’m dead!
😂😂😂 that line was born out of Andrew just misspeaking and we loved it!
Loved the short, and really love the ending. Great job all around everyone.
Thanks a lot man! Really glad you enjoyed the film :D
Had to come back! I don’t know how everyone kept a straight face! I’m hoping for some bloopers!
The doormat outside the car, my lord! 🤣🤣 I thoroughly enjoyed this, absolutely fantastic! Great job, guys!
Glad you enjoyed it! :D
How the tides have turned in the end. Nice short film!
Thank you!
I was so hoping for that kind of ending!!
We thought it worked perfectly! Glad you liked it :)
I love the main character in this - her look and her personality! Another awesome piece, well done 🙌🏼🖤
Lauren is great! Thanks so much for taking the time to check it out and really glad you enjoyed it :D
This comment has aged SO well!
Great short film the ending was the best one you possibly could ever have!
Thanks DJ :)
I was really into A short movie!! It was really awesome. I love a girl come back❤️ i’m so glad she dropped the guy at the end ❤️
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
This was so fun, didn't think you would go with the sport theme but you made it fun. Great job
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Amazing short. I couldn't help but keep watching to see what happens. Love the editing and acting.
Thanks a lot for checking it out man! Glad you enjoyed it.
This is really good! I love short films. Given your requirements, it's so good! I enjoy the humor and a girl using her uncle to try to win her ex back with pool😂 Never seen that one before.
Thanks so much for taking the time to check it out! Glad you enjoyed it :)
this is awesome ! great job mate !
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
This is incredibly well made! Great work from beginning to end! 💪🏻🤙🏻💙
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
This was as so fun to watch
Glad you enjoyed it!
That was one high stakes game of pool lol
Amazing job
😁
😂😂😂 thank you!
Go girl! You deserve better! Great job of the short film
She definitely does! Thanks so much for checking it out and glad you enjoyed it!
Nutcracker ass 😂 and how he distracted her. Omg!! Great job!!
Uncle George is a savage.
😂😂😂
Love the acting!! 🤣 I loved this short film it made me want to watch till the end. Definitely held my attention great job!
Thank you so much! Really glad you enjoyed the short! :D
Watched it again! Uncle George is even worse the 2nd time around lol
He's certainly something else.
😂😂😂
"Thats my que to leave" I loved this... I love what you turned it into given the requirements
Lowkey thats my favorite part of the film. And the defeated "okay" afterward.
Bravo. Plot twist at the end. The whole time I was like where is the out of league coming in at and then after the pool game it all came together. Excellent 48 hr short film once again. I think your production teams is at its best in these short notice films to be made. Great job and good luck 👍
Thanks so much man! Glad you enjoyed the film. We definitely have a team that strives under intense pressure. We'll definitely need some luck as there were a bunch of great films this year!
awesome film man! very professionally done! it's just so well planned! I lvoe the end screen by the way, the cinematography screen.
Alright all I have to say is Lauren LaVera is freaking amazing! She is beautiful, talented, and she can literally play any role. I've seen her in several different roles where she was screaming and running for her life from a maniacal killer clown, putting herself in the position of showing that she was scared for her life, vulnerable, and about to be tortured by a sadistic killer but she was sly enough to turn the tables on him, and now this cute, quirky, & humorous short about her wanting to win back her ex-bf. She went from feeling insecure and heartbroken because she lost her ex-bf to then gaining confidence and listening to the pep talks from her funny ass uncle. In the end she takes her glasses off, lets her hair down, and beats her ex-boyfriend at pool and turns the tables on him and says, "I think I'm the one out of your league now, lol." I loved that line; it was the best part of the film! I really hope to see many more projects from Laura because she is one hell of an actress. It comes so natural to her that when you are watching her on screen, it doesn't even look like she is acting because she is so natural and clearly knows what she's doing as an actress. This film was so funny, and I absolutely loved this. I'm so glad you got the admiration for the amazing work you do (the entire cast and crew), CONGRATULATIONS!
Ohhhh wow the expectation subversion- if I adapt some of these tactics and still don't become at least passable at pool. then half the problem would be 90% this film
😂😂😂 I should maybe put a disclaimer at the end of this film then!
Great short video. Can’t believe you came up with it, filmed it and edited it in 48 hours!
Thanks so much! I can't believe it either :P We had a great team that all put in a lot of work and got very little sleep to do it!
Hey, nice job with this guys... I'm envious, I could never do this in just 48 hrs... Clever and funny throughout, love the
"welcome-mat" at his car and that he takes his mail there... Like I said, great job... Wee, wee, Moses...
Thanks so much for checking it out and for the kind words. Glad you enjoyed it!
Yes you could! They did a really good job and I'm sure they were prepared. You can have ideas before you get your elements. I've done it 5 years in Nashville's 48hr competition. This keeps you on your toes as a filmmaker. Ultimately I think it makes you better than hollywood filmmakers because you don't count on budget and other limitations that drive them crazy! lol Great film!
Loved this short film! Very fun to watch. The actresses in this film are so beautiful and everyones acting skills are amazing, very entertaining to watch.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!!!
This is sooo good! Everything looks so professional! You're going to have amazing success on UA-cam and outside of it! EWWW THAT KISS! HAHAHA!
Thanks so much for taking the time to check the film out and for the kind words. Glad you enjoyed it!
Really enjoyed this one big twist at the end made all the difference! Funny yet a strong moral
Thanks a lot man! Glad you enjoyed the film!
Loved it !! Well done everyone!!
Glad you enjoyed it Ana! :)
This was really well done, uncle balls!!! lol loved it, hey question some of those shots looked legit, any of these actors decent pool players?
Most of the shots were me shooting.
I'm decent at best.
Yep! If there wasn't an actor on screen shooting, it was actually Andrew (Uncle George) shooting haha
@@ThinkingArtEntertainment Balls!! lol
😂😂😂
Absolutely amazing I was definitely hooked on till the end, happy she walked out on him I no it was coming lol
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
When he said "half this game is 90% mental" reminded me of "60% of the time work every time" for some reason hahaha. Great acting by the crew... (uncle) Andrew living in his car was a nice little touch considering he's an ex pool champ. I was thinking about Uncle Rico there. Anyways, great editing work and I enjoyed the storyline. I kind of seen it coming when she told him that he was out of her league! 👏👊👏
Thanks Danny! Glad you enjoyed the short. Totally forgot about the Sex Panther quote from Anchorman haha That line actually came out of Andrew just misspeaking during the writing process, and we loved it so we kept it! Glad people find it funny :D
Too this was amazing and felt like a tv show the whole way through❤️
Thanks for the kind words man! Glad you enjoyed it :D
Lmao I watched Stalked first and coming here after that, it is soooo funny! Also Lauren you are a great actress!
Superb production value good sir! Excellent directing, writing, and cinematography to say the least! Your actors are great man! What camera did you use on this one, the pocket 4k? It looked fantastic! Unreal that you made this in 48hrs man!! Epic job!!😁👏💥
Thanks a lot for the kind words man! Glad you enjoyed it. We did shoot on the pocket 4k, but we only shot in 1080 to cut back on render/upload times since every minute is potentially a minute wasted.
Tell em!! Great ending 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 loved the uncle george character as well.
Color grade and editing was on point!! Bravo!!
Thanks so much for taking the time to check it out and for the kind words! Really glad you enjoyed the short!
I love short films. This one doesnt disappoint.
Glad you enjoyed it :)
“Cue”te puns! This shirt was enjoyable, except for the uncle-he reminds me of my ex-husband! 😂
She is 100% out of his league, the jerk!
Thanks so much for taking the time to check it out! Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow! This was really well done! Quality production . I hope you win!
Thanks so much for the kind words! If we don't win, oh well. We still had a lot of fun making this and can be proud of what we made in just 48 hours!
Seems so natural. Great job with acting and editing
Thanks so much! :D
LOVED THIS ❤️ enjoyed this thoroughly 🤗
Thank you! Really glad you enjoyed it!
Didn’t expected to be this entertaining, top of the line quality!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
My favorite part was her removal of the glasses going from plain Jane to Jane with makeup! I loved the message at the end. She was STILL the same person in the end, which was too good for him!!
This was really good. Nice job!
Thank you!
Typical jock thinking he gets all of the good girls and then the good girl dumps him for an older guy and the impressionable girl that was trying to win his affections kicks him to the curb and he ends up alone
That is so relatable in every single way
And congrats for the two awards my man
Thank you! :) Glad you enjoyed the film.
Was the young lady in the black the same girl from the horror short you did?
Yep! Good eye!
Y'all go all out and I love it!! This was super well done!! Great and killer stuff as always!
Thanks a lot man! Glad you enjoyed it.
awesome video man... very entertaining. It was very captivating. I wish to be able to make videos like thsi one day.
Thanks a lot man! Glad you enjoyed the film. You can do it too. Just takes some practice and dedication.
Uncle George is savage 🤣
😂😂😂
Nice short film confidence is key! Pretty cute and pretty funny!
Thanks a lot for checking it out man! Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks a lot man! Glad you enjoyed it!
This was really fun and entertaining man! Great short film! Awesome work!
Thanks a lot for taking the time to check it out man! Glad you enjoyed it.
Haha Uncle Goerge
The Director's Cut, so fancy. I can't believe you put that all together in 48 hours. Did you sleep?
I slept somewhere between 6-7 hours the entire weekend :(
It amazes me this was created in 48 hours! Great job! It's nice that she changed her mind in the end. :-) Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much for taking the time to check it out and we're all really glad you enjoyed it! :D
Job well done!
Thanks!
Y’all never fail to amaze me, this is fantastic keep it up guys :)
Thanks for the kind words!
Well done!
Thank you!
totally a "She's All That" moment 😁
Great short film. Kept me engaged the whole time!!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
This is the first sports film I actually like, I just *had to* watch the whole thing!
Thanks for checking it out and glad you actually enjoyed a sports film :)
@@ThinkingArtEntertainment Thanks for making it!
Haha! The over the top acting was too much!! Loved it! 🤣
Thank you so much for taking the time to check out our films. Really appreciate it and glad you've enjoyed them!!
Haha, it's never just a game. Lol funny short film.
Thank you!
guys can do the same deal as the girls lol. nice twist at the end.
Thanks Andy!
Great film! You ALL did a fantastic job, Bravo Bravo!!!
Thanks man!
Very nice work! I liked the story. Very simple and predictable but the humor made it great. The editing was well done. I felt it flowed and the cutting during the pool game was a good way to speed it up. The grading is excellent. The audio could use some fixing up but in 48 hours its pretty goddamn impressive
Thanks a lot for taking the time to check it out. Yeah, the audio was too much for me to handle in 48 hours haha There was soooo much more I wanted to do to clean it up, but didn't have the time to do.
OMG YESSS!!!
😀
Pool is not really a sexy sport, well it is now 🤣
😂😂😂
It's full of innuendo! With balls and shafts and pockets and whatnot
Awwwww, sweet.
Thanks!
Fun fact: I once as a kid won against a very good adult pool player. He started putting each ball in one by one including the black with the white by error at the end. 😁
0:36 OH. Full on, my word. The innuendos on this one. I would love to see this as a series. Quite enjoyed it :D
😂😂😂
👍😆👏
all that gear and fancy equipment for this absolute trash of a story.
Props to the actors though, they did their part!
Thanks for watching!
Lauren, I freakin love you!
