I've lost my son 2 years ago and no matter how hard i try to move forward, it just hurts so much. Thanks for making this video for the ones whom has lost a child. I don't wish this pain upon or to anyone. 😢
I lost my 10 yr old daughter 2 years ago as well... and I know how you feel, I know exactly what you're going through. This pain is not for everybody and no parent should ever experience this. Keep fighting... We all need to keep fighting. Don't give up, I rely on my other kids to keep my mind busy...
I don’t think you ever will, because its your child. My mom passed away in 2000 and not a day goes by that I don’t think of her or miss her. I dont think I ever will...😭😭😭
This is sooooo sad, I cried. As an new and emerging shaman, this speaks volume!!! This is sooooo deep! U may not reach all the viewers, but those that this video touch, this is sooo immense. Just know that. 😘
Had to watch this video again and cry my butt off... As a father loosing my 10 year daughter 2 years ago, I went through hell... Still going through it and nobody should ever feel this pain... This pain is not for everyone... Counseling didn't help, depression pills worked a little bit but you have to fight through it. It's got to be your other kids to bring light, otherwise, it'll always be a dark path... It's a hard fight... My tears drop as I type this message and this video, I wish I had an opportunity to say how I felt... I still remember the day so clearly at the hospital as I fell to my knee's kissing her toes and whispering in her ear how much I love her and for her to fight, come back... But she was gone... I wish I had chance to tell her how proud I am of her, how much I loved her and I'm sorry for not being the father she always wanted... :(
Great job! There are really great imagery used in your clip and story telling! I would love to see what and how you choose your decision in the script and story telling! I want to see your production more in the future!
I'm surprised this one has the most votes. Yea it's a sad touching story, but idt it should win the Horror Contest. The others short films definitely did better.
we never intended to make a traditional horror film, we didnt want a short scare, no loud bangs and creepy music, we wanted to focus on zoning in on emotional and humanly fears of lost and spirituality. Our aim is to try and make our audience leave with lingering feelings and provoked thoughts. I personally think that's how fear truly works, when something truly scares you, it stays with you beyond the traditional loud noises and scares. :) Thanks for watching though, that's another form of support!
@@moonartist4607 I'll be more specific. The story is good and it gives a new perspective on a different type of horror, but it needs more work cinematically. I believe a few of the other entries did a better job executing everything from story, audio, filming, and editing. It seems like a lot of effort was put into the story, but filming and editing needs more work. I'm not saying that you shouldn't win because you didn't have loud bangs and creepy music. This film definitely has a lot of potential, but still needs a lot of work. Some scenes were too long and some of it didn't make sense. It's just my opinion so don't take it to the heart. Like you said it's your first film so take it as constructive criticism. You're not always going to get feedback you like, so get used to it. Good Luck
@@haileyvang5779 completely understood! I was just responding to your initial shallower comment. It's not going to float everyone's boat and not everyone is going to understand the depth of the story depending on mindset and I knew that from the beginning. Thanks for your very constructive criticism. Nothing is being taken to heart. It's a competition after all and I think everyone put a lot of effort into their work, it shouldn't be disregarded based on opinions, Whether they shot theirs with a phone or a professional camera, whether they got the most votes or not, I acknowledge that my competition also put a lot of effort in their work and the win can be any ones. Of course others with more experience would def. Be better, yet as artist to artist I would like to think we're all here to support each other and not sink each others potential. But of course that's only something people with a kinder heart can do and I completely understand it's not something everyone else has. Whether we win or not the impact we've made speaks for itself. :) thanks for watching and wishing us luck! :)
It's hard when you are both; a sha-woman and a grieving mother of a 3 year old. This is one of the journey that I am afraid of to experience in the spirit realm... I loss my 3 year old 2 years ago...
My take on the story was that the father was a chosen one but didn't accept the gift and so like other stories I've heard of the first born was taken from him as result he blames himself, and so you see him in shaman clothing and at the end of video picking up the band of rings indicating he had finally accepted the gift however knowing it was too late to save his daughter but at least he was able to see her off in the end
I think in the beginning she said the uncle wants to know the main character guy is still going to go ua neeb for the uncle, so prob not that theory. Good theory though... maybe he couldnt save his daughter even though he himself is a shaman so he is distraught and hurt. This caused him to lose hope in his abilities as a shaman.
He blamed himself for his daughter's death and was having a difficult time accepting it. Perhaps, he finally did the ua neej for the uncle (hence at the beginning where the wife asked whether he accepted to perform the ritual for his uncle) while on his journey to the other side, he meets / sees his daughter. . . She was waiting alone, perhaps, something holding her back from allowing her spirit to go... (maybe because her dad pheej seej seej thiab choua choua nwm - ua rau nwm mus tsi tau) him revealing his face to her during the encounter - reassuring her its okay. Dad will lead her the way and their moment of embrace - giving him the peace he needed to help him accept his daughter's death and begin healing.
Being a father of a girl, this hits home hard for me. The thought of losing my daughter would kill me. She’s my only child and I worry about her life and what I would do without her.
The last few days is 2 year anniversary of my 10 year old daughter Brianna Moua that left me. I was in an emotional wreck as well... Im still am. I still battle depression, gained hella weight because I no longer do what I loved to do, lost all interest in my hobbies. This dark path is for nobody and pray that no parent should ever walk this path...
Great Opening Visuals and sfx although I was disappointed with the rest of film. Great story but it needs some work. Can't wait to see what you guys create in the future!
Hi Avon! Thank you! I agree a couple.more angle would def be nice! We were a limited crew and supplies as it's our first serious film project! :) but we're def willing to grow and looking forward to producing better content in the future. Secondly we never intended to make a traditional horror film, we didnt want a short scare, no loud bangs and creepy music, we wanted to focus on zoning in on emotional and humanly fears of lost and spirituality. Our aim is to try and make our audience leave with lingering feelings and provoked thoughts. I personally think that's how fear truly works, when something truly scares you, it stays with you beyond the traditional loud noises and scares. :)
I like it, I really do,.... but can you do one about old parents with one son or without a son but all daughters,... there's more to the story and I would love to share it with you guys. I'm not a writer but if someone can write out the script and even make out a short video. I believe it would really benefit our Hmong youth and future generations. Subscribe for your responses
THE AUDIO WAS TERRIBLE I to rewind over just to make out what was said most part and my volume is on max but quick question why is his face cover or hidden???
@cAlilUv14 Because he's a shaman. When a shaman goes to the spirit world, they have to hid their face or spirits and entities will be able to follow him back to the world of the living. Or even cause him harm.

Just lost my twin premature babies. One son and one daughter. This story cuts deep inside me. I missed them dearly.

I'm so sorry for your lost. :(
I’m so sorry for you loss my brother. May she RIP and understand fully that your child will always love you no matter what.
Cried, cut jalapeños, wiped my eyes and cried some more. It was very good and emotional. Zoo kawg li os
PDY Music LoL
This is the best one by far- the love between the daughter and father look mutual -so real
I recently lost my daughter and I can not bear the thought of her just being alone like this little girl.
Sorry :'(
So so sad story. Love that child. She is just so adorable. I couldn't hold back my tears.
Thank you! She's only 3!
I love how the singing at the intro depicts a siren/mermaid singing. Very creative. This is a sad story and my eyes got teary.

This is my favorite out of all the entries...I cried so hard...it broke my heart
Beautifully done. Very emotional. The unconditional love and pain of a parent.
Very enjoyable and emotional. I just couldn’t hear the audio much but it was still wonderful bc the story is so deep.❤️ Goodluck.
I don’t even have any kids yet but this would be exactly how I would feel. I feel the broken hearted and pain here. 💔
Watching this again and my heart just kills when he revealed himself. Ughhh 😭😭😭
1 year later still brings tears to my eyes.
Wow! Fantastic and very emotional too!!!!
Omg this is so sad. The heart break of a parent.

Damn did y'all see the part when the dude turn off the lights and the little girl was standing there by the sink. Freak me out for a moment
The award to the best actor in the video is the Smoke Detector. **BEEP**
🤣
Hahahahaha hell naww
Maybe I shouldn’t watch this at work because I can’t be crying like a crazy person at the nurses station.
Great Opening Visuals and sfx although I was disappointed with the rest of film. Great story but it needs some work. Can't wait to see what you guys create in the future!
thank you! This is our first film! We have a lot to learn but will def. be growing.
You’re expecting so much from an entry . I thought this was spectacular!
It reminded one of my dream late 2018 thats i visit my fatherinlaw and he told me he going way, i was crying in my dream. May 2019 he pass away 😢😢
Loosing a child has to be the hardest as a parent 😭😭😭
I never wish this upon anyone. Death of a child pretty much is death to the parents heart.
Man this is so sad! And so good!
So sad! Beautiful story!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I don't even have a daughter but I'm crying 😭
Wow. This tear me up. Awesome video!!
So sad but I wish there was captions so I can hear what the guy is saying better :/
❤❤❤❤
This is so sad .!!! But so true from a father and daughter ..
Volume of the speakers needed to be a little louder.. and the echoes effect made it hard to understand
Thank you! We will def. fix it up next time
Omfg! My feelings! It hurts! 😭
This movie was sad and touching. I dont think it fits horror though. The clips are a bit too long and they need more angles.
