I have watched this film since last year... And hell, i cant move on... The story is just stupendous (i cant express the right word to describe this)... I still watched it over and over again i'd come to a point that i was reciting the script!! Hahaha... More power riotscene... Good luck..
This is a great gay short. You guys should be proud of what you've done here. A solid story with a happy ending, finally. To many LGBT movies end in tragedy or heart break. Good acting, good directing and a decent script. Hope you guys keep making more like this. I know I need to see this kind of quality in films. Thanks.
Thanks Jeff, this story exists, because as a kid, I yearned to see a cute-romantic story centered around two characters of the same sex. I think we're now in an age were anything is possible for everyone in our community. Cheers & thanks for watching! - Derek V.
THAT SCENE WHERE THEY WHERE FIGHTIN REMINDED ME DO MUCH OF AN ERERI FANFICTION I READ OH MY GOD LAWD JESUS THE ONLY DIFFERENCE WAS PROBABLY THAT IT WAS THE APARTMENT UNDER THAT WAS FIGHTING, AND ONE VOICE WAS CALM WHILE THE OTHER YELLED BUT SHIT NOW I HAVE A VISUAL REFRENCE
Very sweet. Really makes you feel for them. My heart broke when Carlitos was hurt and totally made me smile at the end when they were laying in bed and just looked so at peace. Beautiful...
This is so weird, I originally found this film and dismissed it because I thought it was subtitles, then I gave it a second go and found it was not, stupid of me. It was amazing, very well done, thank you for sharing it. I enjoyed it. Simple, short but genius. Very, very good indeed!!!
Thanks, Harold Machroli! We basically used a water bottle, poured out half of it, filled it back up with some apple juice to dilute it, and finally poked a hole through the lid to make that pee shot. It was difficult keeping a straight face while aiming the fake pee into the bowl, cause it was just silly. But in the end it did the job. Thank u, thank u, thank u for coming back to watch!
riotscenemedia Thank you for making such good quality uplifting stuff. I fell in love with you in Longhorns, so had to look you up to see what else you were in and was so glad when I heard you produce and make films. Looking forward to future productions.
Aww omggg I LOOOOOVE this film!! It's SO perfect, SO sentimental, SO real, ughh, I'm in love with this hahaha. Good job on the film, amazinngggg!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Round of applause, standing ovation, this was beautiful! It was wonderfully made and had a good balance of variety when it came to emotions. Some humor, sadness, happiness and etc. It's sort of relatable to me when it showed the tourist's scence where he gets lost (I think he got lost, my memory's not been so well lately). Not a good experience. Overall, brilliant!
+A - Trometh I'm down for writing & filming a sequel to Lost Angel. I just don't know if Timo Descamps would come back to reprise his role. You should ask him!! (Twitter @Timodescamps)
+A - Trometh ah, you're super sweet! And hoping to create more for you and others. Possible sequel ideas: I'd imagine that if they'd both want to live in the US, Mikael would have to get married w/Carlitos for status, but would they continue living in LA or start fresh in a new city or country (hint:Belgium)? Carlitos, the ex-prostitute who once lived out of rundown motel meets Mikael's conservative family? Hrmm. Oh, the possibilities!
the one that plays mikael jassen is an actor in my country! his name is Timo Descamps. i never expected him to do something like this but i really love it. he's a great actor! hope he does more like these and also hope that their are new videos coming sone because i love them!! :)
_ca.lm.bcuzican_ During filming we actually had a ton of heavy and expensive film gear that I decided to stay behind with it to reduce lugging it up those flight of steps, and let me tell you...the experience itself could literally be another short film. It was cray-cray, as I only got 3 hours of sleep because of loud motel tenants. Oy!
When a film is written and directed by the same person, who also co-stars, the results are often pretty awful. There's no second opinion, no reality check, no distance from the work. This film is an exception. Derek Villanueva obviously knew what he was doing. He's created a flawless short that offers us engaging and realistic drama, comedy, and romance in the space of 17 minutes. It looks simple, as the best art conceals itself, but it's actually quite a coup. Thanks for sharing this with us!
17 minuets is not enough! I wish this could be a full length film :) Great story and amazing acting. A story featuring a gay relationship where one of them does not die and where it ends happily? Pretty rare. This short film is truly a masterpiece, and definitely my new obsession
Thank you for a pleasant short film with what could lead to a true happy ending. Usually one of the main characters has to die or be lost from their partner in one way or another. I loved this. Would love a full length from it.
This was a beautiful story and it was also quite funny. But I feel like half of the film was about the guy peeing xD I really liked the end (not of the guy's visit at the bathroom but of the whole movie XD ) They really fit together :)
i loved this short film.... God has a way of reuniting lost souls.... i met my husband 4yrs ago in Manila Philippines on the other side of the world from the USA....
Derek Villanueva, can I just love you forever? Your acting and directing and just the concept of this film is all amazing and wonderful and sweet and I'm going to stop rambling now. Baiiii 😁
I love both of your performances. I love the sparseness. You have a way of commanding a scene with silence, a look, a tilt of the head, the positioning of your body. I noticed it so much in Long Horns and having seen more of your performances I realize what a magical quality it is. A true actor inhabits ever character and makes it his own. You have that. I also really love Timo in this film. The two of you have great chemistry and communicate so much in so short a time. Really lovely work.
I totally agree with you about labeling your film on YT a gay short film. I am gay and today I wanted and needed a gay short film to watch and I found your film by searching for gay short films so your strategy worked perfectly for me. thank you. We all rely on searches online to find what we want and so it makes perfect sense for a film producer like yourself to label your film with as many search keywords as possible so that your film can be viewed by and reach as many viewers as possible.
Great story Mr. Villanueva. Reminds me of my hustler friends back in the day, and tovthe guy who said his visa expires in 90 days and he'd have to be a hustler too NOT true he could do anything he wants. Give us more Mr. Villanueva.
This was an awesome movie :D Now can anyone recommend more gay films (or short films) with happy endings? Seriously...I really need more...>.< I really hope I haven't watched them all...
Oh my God this short video was so AMAZING!!!!! 😀😀😀😄😄😄 I loved the mikal and carlitos I ship them two together💖😘...God I can't stop crying joy of tears for them😂...God love the director who put this together...😍
Greetings Michael, thank you for being an awesome supporter of Lost Angel. Getting ready to start filming new stuff for this channel, so stay tuned & please help re-post this short to other cool cats like you! xoxo
Thank you, Bresalio! I love that the movie was something special for you! It was a great experience writing & filming with a great cast & crew. Planning on producing more down the road to keep positive gay themed stories online. Cheers & don't stay a stranger! -Derek V.
Hey kkmrsmg, Yup that's me! I loved Longhorns & glad you catch ahold of this channel to follow some of my other passion projects! Hope you can tell your friends about "Lost Angel!" Cheers, Derek V.
I can't believe it ... happy ending in gay love story??? FINALLY!!!! :)))
Not the only happy ending there is ;D I know a lot more xDD
I know it seems like every gay movie I watch someone dies or some shit I soooooo love it.
That polish one, floating skyscrapers xc

Jamie Hung yeah right.. :)
THI IS THE CUTEST SHORT GAY MOVIE IVE EVER WATCHED OMG WHOEVER MADE THIS OKAY IM GONNA CRY IN YOUR SHOULDER

We had a lot of fun making this film, thank you Victorino Mandia :)

Hi dear friend ..... how r u da ....
"you need to not be here"
*hides under blanket*
...that cracked me..
This is a great gay short. You guys should be proud of what you've done here. A solid story with a happy ending, finally. To many LGBT movies end in tragedy or heart break.

The only problem with this... way to short. Great script and acting. If they turn this into a full movie, i would definitely watch it.
I wish this would be made into an actual movie! I'd watch it more than once! I love this!
THAT SCENE WHERE THEY WHERE FIGHTIN REMINDED ME DO MUCH OF AN ERERI FANFICTION I READ OH MY GOD LAWD JESUS THE ONLY DIFFERENCE WAS PROBABLY THAT IT WAS THE APARTMENT UNDER THAT WAS FIGHTING, AND ONE VOICE WAS CALM WHILE THE OTHER YELLED BUT SHIT NOW I HAVE A VISUAL REFRENCE
What was the fic called?
What was the fic called? c:
Uuuhhhh- "The First Day For The Rest Of My Life" I think- on Archive Of Our Own.
Oh my god I've read that one !!
OMG YESS!! :D
why am I sobbing lmao I'm so single
Rt
Same m8
Omg same 😶
Very sweet. Really makes you feel for them. My heart broke when Carlitos was hurt and totally made me smile at the end when they were laying in bed and just looked so at peace. Beautiful...
The feels got me all over the place! Especially at the ending! UGGH!!!!
Aw that was cute! Very heartwarming!
"I'm an escort. I sleep with men for money." IM LAUGHING.
This was really funny . . . which is rare for these kinds of films lol. Everything escalated so quickly too lol.
*cries and laughs and thinks about life for 3 hours*
Me
Lost his wallet, dropped his phone, put female clothes in his suitcase... poor guy XD
He didn't put female clothes in his suitcase, he picked up the wrong suitcase, meaning he had someone else's suitcase and they had his.
Kaye S. okay. That's still a lack of luck ^^
This is so weird, I originally found this film and dismissed it because I thought it was subtitles, then I gave it a second go and found it was not, stupid of me. It was amazing, very well done, thank you for sharing it. I enjoyed it. Simple, short but genius. Very, very good indeed!!!
Another great film by Derek Villanueva. I'm hooked.
Was that special effects or did that guy really pee that long. Beautiful story third time I'm watching it.
Thanks, Harold Machroli! We basically used a water bottle, poured out half of it, filled it back up with some apple juice to dilute it, and finally poked a hole through the lid to make that pee shot. It was difficult keeping a straight face while aiming the fake pee into the bowl, cause it was just silly. But in the end it did the job. Thank u, thank u, thank u for coming back to watch!
riotscenemedia Thank you for making such good quality uplifting stuff. I fell in love with you in Longhorns, so had to look you up to see what else you were in and was so glad when I heard you produce and make films. Looking forward to future productions.
Harold Machroli Awe. I love Longhorns! Wish the director (David Lewis) would make a sequel of that one. :)
I totally agree. I can't tell you how much I appreciate you taking time out of your busy schedule to respond
Yay I'm Belgian and I didn't know there existed such a popular gay short film from my country and in my native language :D proud of my country!
Aww omggg I LOOOOOVE this film!!
It's SO perfect, SO sentimental, SO real, ughh, I'm in love with this hahaha.
Good job on the film, amazinngggg!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A very well written script and good actors!
Nice work. Natural, low-key acting, great editing. Very good production values for a modest short feature.
At the beginning I was literally yelling at the computer, "GET IN THE CAR!"
Round of applause, standing ovation, this was beautiful! It was wonderfully made and had a good balance of variety when it came to emotions. Some humor, sadness, happiness and etc. It's sort of relatable to me when it showed the tourist's scence where he gets lost (I think he got lost, my memory's not been so well lately). Not a good experience.
Overall, brilliant!
Oh sh*t! Actor from Judas Kiss! :O it's so awesome! ♥ 8D 8D ..my gosh! Love it!
Thank you, Omina!
riotscenemedia For what?. You're welcome. :)
This was the sweetest thing ever. 😄😄😄
The way they found eachother and realozed thats who they wanted to be with. Its just perfect. Well done! 👏👏👏
literally who pees that much
Lol
I have. If you had a large mug of tea at breakfast and then had to hold off peeing for 5 hours, I can guarantee you will go forever....lol
Unicorn tmi unicorn, tmi.
lol
Literally what I was thinking the whole time.
OMG zat hij niet in SPRING. Ik vond hem altijd al zo cute.
Beautiful
I can't get over how good this is. Cx
can we please have more - this film made me realize what life is about, and I cannot move on from the beauty this movie is ?
+A - Trometh I'm down for writing & filming a sequel to Lost Angel. I just don't know if Timo Descamps would come back to reprise his role. You should ask him!! (Twitter @Timodescamps)
I will ask - you are definitely gifted - you give life back to those that have lost their way.... Thank you for the quick response!
+A - Trometh ah, you're super sweet! And hoping to create more for you and others. Possible sequel ideas: I'd imagine that if they'd both want to live in the US, Mikael would have to get married w/Carlitos for status, but would they continue living in LA or start fresh in a new city or country (hint:Belgium)?

My God that was a monster piss lol

Thanks a bunch Kailene! I'm super stoked that you found this video and hopefully you can pass it along to friends who may also enjoy it! xoxo, D.V.

Love Derek's performance in "Longhorns" and was hoping I'd see him again. Here he is--wonderful!
How I wish it is a movie not I short film. 😀 I want to see their love story. 😍 great short film ❤️❤️❤️
Is it just me who read the title LOS ANGELES 😂😂
Tell me why I laughed at the arguing on the floor above him
_ca.lm.bcuzican_ During filming we actually had a ton of heavy and expensive film gear that I decided to stay behind with it to reduce lugging it up those flight of steps, and let me tell you...the experience itself could literally be another short film.

THE PHANDOM IS EVERYWHERE
PHANDOM
+riotscenemedia was that cannabis he found🙃

This video is gold ! Thanks for it !
I love the humor and comedy in this film. Its amazing!
That was very beautiful!!! I almost cried!! Very very Beautiful!! 💕
This is one the best things I've seen a long time!
"im an escort. i sleep with men for money. Goodnight." XD
FOR HOW LONG DID HE PEE
2:00 minutes.
About half the film
tru
This is the first gay short film I've seen with a happy ending. Finally.
Jesus... it's such a good message and it's just... It has humor, suspense, romance, and everything in between.
When a film is written and directed by the same person, who also co-stars, the results are often pretty awful. There's no second opinion, no reality check, no distance from the work.

5:46 the struggle is TOO REAL XD
I'm sorry but that pink shirt no matter what's happening just makes me laugh.
So glad to see a gay short film with a happy ending.Finally! Very well taken. Kudos!
17 minuets is not enough! I wish this could be a full length film :)
Great story and amazing acting.
A story featuring a gay relationship where one of them does not die and where it ends happily? Pretty rare. This short film is truly a masterpiece, and definitely my new obsession
