Wow. Really moved me when the kid’s boss filled his bag with the bread. Sometimes just a bit of kindness can turn someone’s life in a better direction.
Was moved by this little movie and the beautiful song these two guys sing. One of the best short movies I've seen in a long time...
Beautiful story and I'm a little suprised that some people didn't get it. I'm guessing that they didn't take the time to listen to the lyrics of the song at the end which tells the story of the blond guy to begin with and then added to it by the dark guy which comes into play, the hardship that these 2 human beings. They are "brothers" in hardship, sexual orientation and music. The blond guy sees that he is not alone and find, into the other, a kinship of all those experiences. Someone who understands what he went through. Very moving, very sensitive…
Hi thereeee....kis kiss kis me 😋

It brought tears to my eyes. Beautiful!
I’m speechless. This film wrecked me. A mini masterpiece.
❤❤
Wow! That was an unexpected tearjerker at the end. To have someone else show you the way to self-acceptance and finally be ready to go there, because you've tried everything else! I also loved how his boss helped him to be kind and generous with others.
absolutely stunning work. it means a lot. this is what humanizing looks like, this is what this world needs
A beautiful story that’s inspired me to start song writing again. Thank you.
OMG! I was in tears by the end of this short! The song, the emotional and mental breakthrough for the lead character, and the connection he finds truly rips at your heart. WONDERFUL! Thank you.
Thank you so much for the kind words, Gary
Wow I have not had a gay short film touch me this hard I paused tears 😭 of joy. If everyone love each other, self love we just might be living a loving 🥰 ❤️ earth 🌍.
The kindness in a world of pain is the most important(?) part of this film. Thank you.
Amen.
When he burst out singing it felt like I was hit with a 2x4 of emotion
AMEN!
Oh yea, me too. The floodgates opened.
Didn’t see the acting till the last scene. Among the top ten gay shorts I’ve seen, and I’ve watched hundreds on UA-cam. Authentic & Brilliant!
Hey Tony,
Can I know where are you from?
@@countriescontinentsgeograp8264 I m from India, dont know about toni
@@princezuko6804 OK, Zuko..
How you managed to cram so much into so little time was amazing. Maybe you have to dumb it down a little for all of us to understand what is going on, but there was also a beauty to your work that kept you short of breath. Thanks. Always looking to find parts of myself in these movies.
Yes and i did so within this to
really moving indeed - i would say the blond guy with all these problems fell in love through his own song , sang by another guy
Chilling!!!!
I can still hear the guitar
And feel the goose bump.
- beautiful brother
That was incredible! I admit I cried at the end.
broke down in tears during the song
there needs to be a part two i need to see this friendship grow, powerful meaning behind the story great job guys
Adam Tyree, thank you! Believably acted; I felt what they portrayed. Good filmography and editing. Moving melody with lyrics that matched. At age 57 it tears into my heart and allows me a sense of abandon and surrender for hope. Thank you
Dave Fakadej 🙏🏽🙏🏽😊
Ditto!
Hi thereeee....kis kiss kis me 😋
Your generation really hard it tough I thank your generation for we not even perhaps not here today. The stepping stones is what made today for the gay males to have a chance to live free. Today their is a lot of Gay meetings places around the globalization communities I think James Sylvester help quite a bit as well from here to Africa. Long live our communities of hope.
Beautiful short movie. And beautiful songs. So powerful when they sang together.
This needs to be a full movie.... Beautiful.
Dana T.
Working on it. :)
why am I only seeing this now!? very very good short! and song at the end really really good and beautifully sang! and everyone should know Nina Simone ...
Great short. Excellent work. Very moving.
This made me cry but it was because it was beautiful and insightful and well done. The dialogue about Joni Mitchell and Nina Simone was funny and icing on the cake. Yum.
Wow. I just saw this and loved it. Jesse James Rice (who I'd never heard of) did such a good job here - especially his reaction in the open mic scene when he hears his song. Choked me up - nothing like music to draw out feelings 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻
EDIT: OMG those are original songs
This was so powerful, and one of the best shorts I've ever seen. Thank you so much.
Thank YOU so much ❤️
Beautiful short movie beautiful song in made me cry. Wow
Wouah !! maybe some people didn't understand but that's ok. I think it is so touching, beautiful and full of emotions. Thank you so much :-)
Beautiful, touching and true - thank you
Simply Stunning, Thank You for sharing. Hope truly is a powerful thing and so easy to share. Peace.
Beautiful movie,Beautiful Brother ❤️💜💙💚💛
So different and thought-provoking and moving! Excellent work!
Beautiful connection... the duet resonates with my heart and soul. 💜💜💜
Wow! that was incredibly moving, Jesse is such a brilliant actor and fantastic to see Willie Jones after his X Factor performance, he certainly has come a long way since then!
Very nice film and a strong ending. It makes me want to see more.
Damn fine piece of film. Great to see Jesse James Rice back on the scene!
Everybody should know Nina Simone
The singer and the woman

Aww, the words to
"Killing Me Softly"!
I love the version by
Roberta Flack!
Thank You for posting it!
May god bless all those in need of kindness. Outstanding guys!!!!
Awesome! Why do people cause so much pain to those of us who are different than they? Perhaps they’re the ones who are different. If so, I know we would be cool with them in spite of the differences - everyone the same is colorless and dull.
Excellent! Everything/everyone is so real. Great job. Have you thought about making this into a web series? Definitely need a part two at the very least.
Thanks so much. Something’s in the works. :)
@Adam Tyree - If it can be done, you can do it. It's going to be challenging to have this much punch in a longer form. Reminds me of the film The Way He Looks from an earlier short, and that turned out well. Brokeback Mountain was based on a short story! You'd never think that from the film. Seeing your talent on display makes wishing you luck seem superfluous, but I do anyway.
gorgeous and meaningful short film
That was amazing. Great voice Mr Jones
So, so good! Very beautiful film!! Thank you very much for sharing! A hug from Portugal...
Great short. I feel like this could have just been called OPEN MIC - Short Film (2019) though.
Hello from Australia. A beautiful and touching film on every level. Thank you.
good stuff!!! great job everyone!
this was incredibly emotionally brilliant. Thank you
Very moving piece Adam, thank you.
Thank you :)
Acting is amazing. Love how it’s shot handheld. Great direction!
Beautiful...
One of the best short movies I have ever seen, and I’ve seen a lot of them. Beautiful cinematography, photography, acting was incredible and the song... wow... this song should be on Spotify! Is the actor also a singer? Should definitely be. Congrats to everyone involved in this. ❤️
Honey B Thank you so much for the kind words. ❤️❤️
Adam Tyree you guys should really consider a part 2 or a full length feature! I’m sure it would do well!! xx
Honey B We’re working on the feature script 🙌🏾
Adam Tyree omg bless you all!! I will support 100%!! Keep us posted!! Wish you all the best ✨🙌🏻
The impoverished young Mike in Adam Tyree’s “Open Mic” wants to take his guitar on stage to sing about his failed life but lacks the confidence. As played by Jesse James Rice, Mike bumbles through pretty much every day, living out of his pick up truck parked in a back alley, clumsily burning and cooking buns in equal number at the bakery where he works, struggling to converse with people regardless of whether he slept all night with them or someone he just met, such as Willie Jones’ Nathan, a fellow open mic performer. Indeed, Mike is not your typical character in a short film, gay or otherwise.
It’s hard to find a new take on a coming out story, but Jesse James Rice & Ryan Roschke’s script is commendable for trying. Its success in my view is due in large part to Adam Tyree’s direction & Jonathan Pope’s photography: the film has a gritty, & edgy feel to it, filled with numerous close-up & unsteady shots.
At the end, Mike’s coming out into the open, ironically, is at an open mic session. Mike gained his missing confidence from a fellow traveller who reveals their shared experience. What should have been a satisfactory resolution instead felt to me like a dramatic contrivance which unfortunately lessened an otherwise good film.
Wow. Amazing short film. Bravo
This short film really pissed me off!! And it also made me emotional.
Really really enjoyed this! Great work! 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂💕💕💕💕🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈

i really REALLY need an audio or an mp3 of the song man, so i can cry on streets and shit man
So poignant and beautifully done.
Amazing 👍
If it’s the only thing I take away from this is people put on a shell to hide their problems and it’s ok to let people in and see your issues and the problems you face as well as something so simple can really change the way your life is going don’t be afraid to take a risk.
More of this please!
Holy Cow! Won my heart definitely! ❤
