HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! (nearly)
Bertie Gilbert Films Do you submit these shorts to festivals?
Happy birthdAy love you Bertie keep on keepin!
Congratulations for your excellent work Bertie! I discovered your channel via Will Darbyshire, and I've watched all your films except for ‘Blue Sushi’, which I will save for the weekend. Especially considering your young age, I can tell you that you are a great director and actor! Your films are far better than lots of the so-called mainstream movies of blockbusters. You have very good creative ideas and master very well the art of expressing them in a movie, with a perfect control of the scenes. I am really impressed by the excellence of your film direction. Keep up the good work, in some years from now I see you as a great and renowned movie director :-)
NOW THIS IS HOW YOU DO FLASHBACKS PEOPLE!!!!
Usually, people will comment on their favorite youtubers videos saying "THIS IS AMAZING" no matter the actual quality of the video.
After watching your first two short films, I didn't think they were amazing, but that's not what I expected. They were your FIRST TWO. I knew you would get better with practice. I thought the shots and camera work were great but I just wasn't a big fan of the story.
However, for this short film, I think you nailed both the direction and the story.
Also it was very well written, edited, and acted! I can't wait to see what you come up with next, because if you continue to progress like this, I know you will be making incredible films sooner than later.
Well said. It's not just the quality of the film, it's the trajectory, the growth, the increasing mastery.
I can't agree more
thank you kindly sir!
My thoughts exactly Mr. Pew.

if you're interested in the craft and making of this film, have a listen to this podcast i recorded :) - soundcloud.com/bertiegilbert/talking-about-tick-where-it-hurts
thanks even tho this comment is ancient
I love how there's never really a set time frame in your videos. They exist in a world of their own.
Incredible. Wow.
Thanks Rusty!!
Dear Bertie,
My name is Bonnie Claire and on easter of this year I received a phone call from my cousin. At the time, my cousin, Erika, had been struggling with gender identity and had been using the pronoun they rather than she and her. On that sunny sunday morning she called me and told me "Bon, I love you" along with so many other things. I didn't fully understand why Erika chose to call me then or say all those things I had already known to be true until i received a second phone call later that evening from my aunt, her mother. That night Erika attempted suicide. There were so many factors that played into her unsuccessful attempt and I wasn't quite sure if it was selfish of me to be grateful that her attempt was failed. Growing up, Erika filled the role of older sister that my two true older sisters brushed aside. I think I was generally infatuated with her entire being; the way her short, androgenous haircut flopped to one side, how her slanted handwriting looked in the sudoku squares, and mostly the way she talked. The thing is, I knew she was having a rough time and I KNEW she wasn't okay anymore this spring but it didn't make sense to me why someone seemingly so perfect in my eyes could hate themselves. She, as Erika has gone back to that pronoun, is doing what she calls "a little less then alright but on the verge of manageable" now. I don't think people should take these stories with a grain of salt; oftentimes they aren't "stories" but reality. I don't think that grandmothers should deny their granddaughters of returning home for Christmas. And I don't think twenty year old granddaughters should feel so helpless that they attempt suicide; no matter how gay, out of the box, crazy wonderful they are.
I can't exactly put into words what this film made me feel because I think I've become a certain numb from feeling this same feeling of complete pain that my eyes just glaze over rather than cry another tear. I do want you to know that I think you did an astounding job and I think this is one of the best things you have ever made (I've been watching you since a few months into your youtube career way back so that says a lot). I really can compliment you enough on the way everything was carried out in this film and even though in your more recent video you explained that the characters were a reflection of your own self I thank you for allowing me to step back. This film helped me take a third person perspective on my own personal situation and I can honestly say you captured every emotion perfectly. Even though Erika didn't die, I think my idealistic image of her did with her attempt in that after, I was forced to stop over-looking the severity of her situation.
Maybe I don't know you, but I think the things you are doing are wonderful and I suppose I'd also like to believe you are a wonderful person. Thank you Bertie.
Love,
Bonnie Claire McKelvie
also if you read this/would like to respond to this I more often check my tumblr ( the-green-lighter.tumblr.com ) so if you could go through that that would be lovely, thanks again
I'm about to fucking cry. and I'm proud of it.
My best friend tried to kill himself a week ago and this video is not what I expected it to be, I thought it would be a comedy because I just clicked and didn't read anything even the title and oh my god
When I got the phone call that he was in the hospital..
this is a beautiful film and it made me cry like a fucking baby
As someone who suffers from chronic depression and has a younger sibling who I'm very close to, this hit so close to home. This hurt so badly. I cried several times throughout this.
I am the same way and agree 100%
I have taken so many tests and it all says I have moderate depression. I have a twin who's younger than me by minutes. This also hit close to home.
I relate, i have a little sister and she is the last person I would want to hurt
oHH LIKE TICK AS IN A CHECK NOT LIKE THE BUG, OK GOT IT, GOT IT
I thought like the tick of a clock 😂😂
same
Allison Foster idk why but I thought of touretts 🤔🤔😂
Hailie B omg i only just realised it wasn't tick like a clock when i read this comment fuuuuuck it's been years
watching this again, love the colours. after such a serious and emotional film would be great if your next one tackled a bit more comedy like we saw hintings at in stray dog
we're writing the next one right now and it's sort of the most lighthearted one but also sort of the darkest and most twisted
Bertie Gilbert I think I'm going to love the next one the most if that's how you describe it. :D
He's gone. It's been a month since he... and I still feel pain. I told my doctor, and he gave me a paper that said "tick where it hurts". But he doesn't understand. My best friend, my brother, was taken from me by his own hands. I'll never see him again, or talk to him. So how can I tick where it hurts if it hurts... everywhere?
There's definitely been a lot of growth in your style since the last short film. The use of silence and the theatrical flashback were impressive. The monologues from the protagonist and Eric were nicely delivered and heartbreaking. The closing statement about logic rang true with me, sometimes things just are what they are. Highlight would be the Yoko Ono part. It was nice to see you present something light before we relived your character's darkest moment. x
Garyyy
"tick where it hearts" *ticks heart 1000 times*
1000x1000
This was really awesome Bertie.
i honestly prefer bertie's videos to most i've seen in theatres. these short films are beautiful, many reduce me to tears, and all get me thinking. i love them, a lot. thank you for making them, bertie.
I keep coming back and watching this. It rewards multiple viewings.
good to hear, Mickeleh. You gentle soul
Oof. Rant alert: so I've been playing through Bertie's films for a few hours now and they seem to truely capture what it feels like to be alive. I have suffered from depression for years now and I regularly have suicidal thoughts. I eventually slipped into this default where I was living each day at a time. Only ever in the present. And I didn't even want to feel happy again. I just didn't want to feel anything, I wanted to be dead. And then I started counting the few glimpsing moments when I thought to myself, 'you know in this moment I'd rather be alive than dead'. Disturbly I only felt this around three times in that month. But I stayed alive for some unknown reason. I knew that people loved me but I didn't care. And then something changed. At school we had one straight week of careers education and for the first time the thought of living past today occurred to me. I was still holding onto life and even though I wanted so badly to die I kept living. I stopped and I wondered why I hadn't done anything yet. I wasn't dead, but I wasn't living either. Weeks passed and I started noticing that I was alive. Things like the wind and the cracks in the pavement and everything around us that we will never see or remember. I and everything around me is so temporary. I had to stop waiting for my life to begin. Because it had started and I hadn't even realised it. With every breath I take my time running out and we only get one chance to be alive and these films show the yucky uncomfortable painful truth. Something's hurt so much that our body can't contain it. Punching a mirror or opening up your wrists feels like nothing in comparison to the raging swelling tide of emotions. But that is living too. And these films are the only piece of art I've found which truly shows how it feels to live.
I know it's been literal years since you commented this but I just really wanted to tell you that I relate and appreciate your story.
I told my friend earlier today "I'm scared that someday I'll wake up and have the courage to kill myself. I'm even more scared that I'll never have that day."
I just wanted to tell you that you are seen. You are heard. You aren't invisible or silenced. You're here. You're alive. In all those little ways that we are human, you exist.
I hope you're doing alright
Bertie is on a brilliant path of discovery. Thanks for sharing these flashes of insight. There's an important filmmaker a-brewing in Bertie Gilbert.
Wow, just wow.
It was the style. The style on this one (color, lights, story, and even font), that made this stupendously graduate. It feels like this was the real transition into your style Bertie, the real Bertie. It's exciting to see it happen, don't slow down.
like i've said many times in reference to this film, I think this is my first *real* film. The other two were me testing the water, trying out various styles and influences and this one was the dive ! i'm very happy to be developing my own style. don't worry, i'll never ever slow down
I love the noticeable progression that occurs between each of your short films. The first monologue in this one was really great. You are very good at challenging yourself when it comes to the technical aspects of film, such as lighting and camerawork. I'd like to see you experiment further with your scriptwriting - I get the feeling you would be a very good writer of dry humour and perhaps some subtle satire. Sorry, I hate it when people write comment essays as if they know more about the film than the creators do. But yeah, here's my feedback. I can't wait to see your next one.
Brilliant!
I really liked this. Like, very VERY much. I mean I always enjoy Ciaran's cinematography, seeing what you come up with, too. But previous films? I was a fan. Just not a big fan. I was watching a young director coming to terms with what film is and how it can be done. Your previous films felt more like film excersises and slight imitations of other directors (this is absolutely okay for learning purposes, don't worry!). This film, on the other hand, is extremely... grown up? I guess that's what we can call it. I think you have found your personal style, your place in film. And it feels like an extraordinary style. I think we can expect great things from you. And I am grateful for that, for being able to see more of these things. Please - continue.
yeah, i feel like the other two were me treading the water. testing the temperature. and for this one I just dived in! Well...maybe not dived, jumped! not quite diving yet. But yes, thank you very much. Means a great deal. so many comments have been 'YOUR LAST TWO WERE OKAY BUT THIS WAS GOOD' which is something I like to hear!
"If I cant feel fulfilled and make thing, and do something with my life then... what's the point?" Love this, evokes just how I feel.
Bertie's short films have always made me think. A lot. I started with Let It Be, and nearly sobbed my eyes out several months ago. I then moved back further into his short stories as well as Playground, and they have all made me sit on the floor under the window, just staring at my feet, thinking. There are just certain details and pieces of each story that grab you and hold you until the story is done.
absolutely haunting when it needed to be.
Cinematography in this is bloody spot on! great work Bertie! huge respect.
Everytime I watched bertie's work i'm stunned. I mean it's just brilliant how a guy (who happened to be born the same day of the same year as me;)) can do such an amazing job while I'm just sitting in my room, reading. Ugh I'm crap and he's talented.
Ps love the use of shadows. I interpreted it as people only seeing one side of each of the brothers. 'I guess because I cared about you I only ever showed you one side of me'...and everyone thinks Guy is uncharismatic, simple and quiet.... I just adore art that is open to interpretation :) well done, again :P
Leaps and bounds, Mr Gilbert, leaps and bounds.
neafcy we've never actually met but should
I cried a lot during this, especially during the voice message, it was like looking at my own reflection. I really liked the style of looking back at past moments but not in a cliched flashback sort of thing, it was great to see them 'relived'?? Also the monologues with the red light got me really emotionally attached and made me weep more! Basically I loved it.
This is a perfect example for the reason behind my love for independent films or short films . The power that these types of films have is beyond most collective movies in theaters today . The power to get someone thinking at the end of the film is remarkable . The power to make someone feel emotions they would never think to feel is remarkable . The power to tell a story In a matter of 18 minutes is remarkable .you my freind have motivated me even more to start my journey in the independent film industry I mean I'm only 16 and I feel like I could do so much and you've clearly proved that you can do so little but so much at a young age . That may come off kinda stupid but it's true I mean this 18 minute film was the best short film I've seen in awhile !! And I congratulate you on the success that will come to you . 👏 I really hope to one day see a full length film of yours .
what a lovely comment, and probably the loveliest comment from someone called 'fish'. It was always my plan to tell feature length stories in short film form. So to hear you really felt the emotion and the characters, feels great. I think the younger generation is mostly awful. Most of us sit about talking about nothing, tweeting about nothing and ultimately doing nothing. i'm glad I could convince you that there's hope. I look forward to seeing what you create, fish dupree!
+Bertie Gilbert and you have succeeded at telling a story in such a short way .i totally agree I myself feel that in the younger generation there is hardly any creativity and it is mostly awful .people don't take time to pay attention to the greater things in life but instead only care about what is on there phone or electronic devices . And they are in fact not living there life out to the fullest and soon will be older wishing they did ceartin things differently . It's hard to be apart of a generation like that but when I come across people like you who show me that there's still a bit of greatness about this generation and generations to come it does give me hope :) and thank you, I'll be sure to create something extraordinary and maybe one day we will be able to collaborate on a film together .

A little late, but good luck. Enjoy it and embrace it.
I love Bertie's films. They are incredibly mind blowing in their content. It's so different to anything I have ever seen before. I don't know if short films are what Bertie is always going to do but if he did a full feature film I think it would be outstanding. He definitely needs to continue with it. As someone who has been watching him for a long time, it's great to see how he has grown :)
Do you know when you watch a Film and you wouldn't change a thing?! This is the case. Talent.
The graphic, the deep but not boring story line, the acting and you clearly pay attention to details, that's something the viewer appreciates and loves.
not only is it stunning in terms of cinematography with both the colour and camera angles, but the plot premise is so simple that in a way it humanises death and strips away any romance surrounding depression - it's incredible
''the best often die by their own hand
just to get away,
and those left behind
can never quite understand
why anybody
would ever want to
get away
from
them''
A good friend of mine took his own life in October and this brings it all back.
I like that it doesn't romanticise, it doesn't try to make the horrible and confusing into the poetic and beautiful. It was both of those things, but not because it was trying to be. Very impressive.
When I first saw stray dog I was blown away. I really enjoyed it, but this is on another level. Not only is the cinematography so well executed, but the story is gripping and so emotionally diverse.
I also love the mystery still left, so many questions unanswered and so many possible answers hinted at.
Overall this is graphically stunning, sound design is beautiful and the story is simply wonderful. Thank you
Bertie this was bloody brilliant. Director...Actor.. What can't you do?!
GREAT NOW I'M SOBBING. Really though, this was freaking excellent
This is the first film I've watched in years that's made me cry - and not just swimming eyes. If I had to tick where it hurts, I'd tick everywhere right now. This was so powerful. Jesus.
Fantastic work, congrats!
This film is something really special. It captures this sort of melancholic 4am vibe so well and just has this really intimate emotional resonance as a result. Well done man.
that's a lovely way of putting it! '4am vibe' thank you!
Brilliant portrayal of depression. Wonderfully directed. I feel this is a step up from The 56 year old boy. I was worried when I saw the trailer, I thought that if it were done a certain way it wouldn't be accurate of a person feeling how Guy does. I thought it might have underestimated depression/suicide. The acting of Guy receiving the news about Eric was terrifyingly accurate. I literally cried. Like spot on. Ciaran's camera-work and cinematography was his best yet. Good job Bertie. You're very quickly becoming a brilliant filmaker.
oh yeah, i think 56 was a bit of a mess. but hey ho! Yeah, i can understand why you thought that. Films and tv often romanticise depression 'cough skins cough' but because to an extent, i've felt that way, I had to do it justice and convey it as it is. Thank you for your kind words, sir. It means a lot
this made me realize why you looked so familiar.
you look like daniel kyre.
i fucking miss him.
so true
Fuck.
That's exactly what i thought and now I' even sadder... i really miss him too
This was brilliant, very moving, totally struck a chord. This is clearly a massive leap forward for you. Congrats :)
this is beautifully made, Bertie! so tragic and doesnt glorify suicide. this sort of thing is so hard to pull off, so you now have even more respect from me xx
I love Berties plots he makes up because he always leaves things unanswered so you can literally create your own scenarios and i just love that.
WOW! Just watched this for the first time. I cried... a lot. So much emotion in a short time. A message I have taken from this is no matter how well you think you know someone, you may never know them. Some things are unexplained, illogical, that's how life goes. Love everything about this. Best film yet!
Watching now, oh my god HD already is beautiful
Really enjoyed this, Bertie. Emotive, thought-provoking and beautifully finished. Just wonderful.
It made me cry. Bertie I loved you from the start and you have come a long way!
I have a friend who committed suicide last April. He was my older sisters best friend, a brother to me. And this made me cry so much. But it was so fucking good and portrayed emotions you feel when that kind of thing happens to someone close to you. Good job Bertie. Thank you Bertie.
I liked how this was from Guy's perspective instead of Eric's. You created a moving portrayal of the pain, grief and turmoil experienced when losing someone to suicide. A subject close to home for me. Powerful. Great cinematography, great style, great sound, great edit, great acting, overall an excellent piece of work. Strong and emotive.
thank you. too many films delve into why someone would do such a thing but really, a lot of the time, it's just too complex to go into.
All I can really say about this is that it made my heart pound and chills run through me. Clichéd as that sounds, I can't translate that feeling to something that can be articulated. I've been watching your videos ever since you were 13 and to now see you and your filmmaking evolve into this capacity is incredible. It'd be the greatest honour to one day meet you and simply talk, and although it may not happen during my trip from Australia to London in a few weeks, I should hope it will happen at some point. Thank you for the content Bertie, and I wish you nothing but the best as you continue to progress. x
I don't like to show my emotions and I always have a front, and I've always been like that since I was bullied a few years back, this genuinely brought tears to my eyes, I've been a bad place recently and this film is so relevant and relatable right now... So thank you
Lewis Massey I hope you're good now :) Best wishes!
Yeah all is good thank you!
I"m revisiting the older videos of creators I used to watch when I was younger. It's hard to swallow the pill that I am not "younger" the way I was back in 2013/2014. I remember that when the vlogger generation sort of took off, I wanted to be part of that and I swore to myself I'd go to college and study filmmaking or media. I was in love with this new turn to video technology in internet media and I knew it would be something huge. Many years later, that interest in media turned into a deeper interest in the human experience and nearly a decade after I and a whole set of friends came and went from this platform as hopeful creators, I find myself drawn back to the beauty of video and its capacity to tell stories with an inconceivable depth that other media cannot. I am about to finish my master's degree in philosophy, and the plan was to pursue a PhD right after. But, now, I find myself longing for this depth of exploration that I used to wander for in filmmaking and editing and storytelling. There's a part of me that feels I followed this interest in humanity in an okay but not quite right direction and somehow lost my way from the artistic desire to explore the human and its limits and depths and found myself buried in academia, exploring these same questions but not in a way that feels meaningful or transformative in any substantive way. This was a long rant... but I wanted to leave this little stamp here in hopes that one day when I need to come back to these videos -- if they are still here -- I might find myself and be able to listen to what a younger me had to say.
Jesus this was strong. Very good story, but your own way of very creative cinematography makes it so much more real. Wow. Just wow.
This seems to be an unpopular opinion, but I still think that "The 56 Year Old Boy" is your best so far. I mean, I adore all your work, I think its amazing. Your directing is outstanding and your editing, well, your editing is on point. Another amazing short film. Please Bertie, keep doing as well as you are. I can see you moving on to bigger and better things.
oh I hate 56. Well, not hate but dislike a lot. There's no emotion in it, no real themes, the shots don't tell the story and overall it just doesn't feel like anything happens. No one can relate to it because there's nothing there to relate to. It's just a demonstration of interesting locations and colours, nothing more. Perhaps you prefer 'love' stories to psychological stories, but don't let that get in the way of the fact that 56 is weak as balls. But, it's your opinion. Thank you for expressing it:)
Bertie Gilbert and thank you for your kind words in general!
hahahaah made me laugh, go easy on yourself it was good, but you're welcome! :)
I loved 56 too. The cinematography was really good, as it is in all of Bertie's films, and I just liked how the plot twisted. It was a bit of a weak storyline, but still great nonetheless.
I'm not a technical savvy of the film world but as a fan of this art I must congratulate you on your excellent work. From shots and angles to the music and colors accompanying the raw feeling, allows the viewer to connect. Applause from Buenos Aires, Argentina, applause applause ♥
That Archie-guy is really great!
it 1 am and im lying in bed sobbing with my laptop on my chest why bertie i have things to do tomorrow
+Molto Dolce I am literally the same rn
when guy realised what happened to his brother it just...i knew the anger and fear he felt. its just..i love this film
Strange to think we're the same age, yet you're making such amazing things, and I do nothing
I'm reading some of the comments and most of them are about how great the film is on a specific level. I know very little to nothing about film or writing or much of anything..but I do know that i liked this very much.
I've been depressed for about 2 years and it'll be a year in October that I first attempted suicide. It's been a long and bumpy road...and I'm still feeling the same as I did on that October night.
But this gave me hope. I've found a love for photography and I'm hoping I'll have the courage one day to spill my sadness into my work. I'm just so scared I'll be judged for such darkness. I thought this was lovely and inspiring.
Thanks Bertie. I've been watching you for quite a while now (first video was with your 2 friends where...I forget who...says I LOVE EGGS!) and it's amazing to see how much you've grown.
Good luck with everything!
Well-paced, the lighting and sound really complimented the story and themes. The transitions in this film were seamless. And I really liked the ending too...Pain demands to be felt and definitely for the loss of someone who you loved and cared about but morning will come to replace the darkness and cruel thoughts. Thank you for creating a truly thought-provoking and brilliant film, Bertie. Good luck in the future and I can't wait to see what you do next.
thanks so much! and has someone been reading the fault in our stars? hmmmm
Ah, you just made me really happy. Yes, I may have just quoted TFiOS. Have you seen the movie yet? :)
This hit me really deep. Thank you so much for this. You're getting incredibly talented, which makes me excited to see where you go next.
oh Elliot, thank you so so much. MAKE ANOTHER FILM I LOVED YOUR LAST
So real. So raw. So, so good. You have made a film that makes me cry in anguish with those who have lost, and feel hope in a world without logic. Wow. So this is what art is.
I love the way that this shows panic attacks/breakdowns. Loved it, the whole film was very heartfelt and all the feelings in it felt so genuine
Like someone else commented, I love how you didn't focus on how Eric did it or why, you focused more on how Guy felt and what he experienced. This is an incredible film and to think it's your THIRD! Amazing. Your determination is very inspiring. Just curious, what was the biggest challenge you faced during the making of this film Bertie? I look forward to seeing more! x
I'm in the middle of watching it just now, you're extremely talented Bertie, so talented I'm pretty sure in a couple of years you'll be an award winning director/actor. Incredible work :)
Take that David Yates! You totally own it, boy! I will confess that since the day WB announced that you were going to be little Scorpius Malfoy, along all the other Potter kids that were casted, I made my very own mission to watch out for you guys, because something told me that you were, well, magical.
I've been following your video blogs ever since, and its a wonderful and a magical experience to watch someone so young, with a talent as yours, grow before my eyes and develop skills of an awesome story-teller. There's a before and after Bertie, past was the time when this young and tiny boy was asking his followers to challenge him into eat disgusting things. Now, I see the man with the camera that is shouting to the world thet he is coming for us and we must beware.
So, this video? It's what I call "The Point of No Return" and I really expect to see wonderful and awesome things from you Mr. Gilbert.
Congratulations!
PD: Sorry if my English is more Spanglish, I am from Argentina, so any mistake in my Grammar is my teacher's fault (apparently she doesn't like to teach). Any way, I'll be waiting for your next video.
XOXOX
I felt so empty and sad watching this. It conveys so much human emotion. Mundane feelings, thoughts. You create really powerful works Bertie.
Bleak, miserable, beautifully lit, nicely paced, dark, effective and permanently enigmatic, perfect for my barn,
In this miserable existence, it's reassuring to see a significant and creative brotherly friendship celebrated in a quality production, rather than the endless vacuous tat of be-fringed pretty boys making yet another tedious collab video shirtless about toss all, ^oo^
PS: You're bound to be somewhere here in the comments *****&jonbehere, I'd be surprised if you didn't both love this, ^oo^
Keep it light Bern ;)
Aye, this was a brilliant bit of work, he's got himself an impressive team together with him too, Cheers yer star, Brigs :)
he looks like evan Peters in season 1 of American horror story in this
God damn it Bertie why do you have to make me cry with everything you make! Fuck me that was amazing! Carry on as you are and you will do great things on a much larger scale!
I just love that the comments under berties videos seem to be the nicest place on UA-cam ... almost nobody is rude or hateful down here ♡♡♡
I'm so sad because it's telling me that the video isn't available oml
Same
you can watch it on vimeo
WOW SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T HATE YOKO ONO
i saw this when it came out, and it touched me. it is so well made. it really brought tears to my eyes, and i thought 'i am so grateful all of my friends are okay'. three weeks later, out of nowhere, i kid you not: one of my best friends kills themselves. i still feel like a failure a month later. it will never truly hit me, i don't think. there are no words to describe it. i just stumbled upon this video again, and still. so much praise. the raw emotion - i feel exactly like guy did. i never thought someone so close to me would do such a thing. i dont know if something like this happened to you bertie, but if it did, i am so truly sorry. this video is so well made and watching it the second time... really hit home. sometimes its the people you least expect, and it is so hard to understand. i dont think i'll ever understand. 'it's like a murder, but there's no evidence'. couldnt have said it better. this video has made me feel better, and has touched many others as well. thank you bertie.
Woo yay!
Ooh way!
Olly, you sir are a genius.
Wow. All i can say is; amazing. Every line was beautifully written, every shot was beatifully shot and the acting was incredible. I feel so proud and i can't wait to see more of your work
Hi Janett and Amey!
I love the colour schemes in this and the contrast between scenes. Absolutely beautiful.
The way this video ended made me cry so hard because it hit so close to home. It's like losing a part of yourself that you relied on for strength, losing yourself to something incomprehensible and it means so much to me.
I don't know why, but it always surprises me when I remember that you have damned good acting skills.
This really reminds me of Tyler and Josh, with Josh's insecurities and whatnot. Also how FUCKING UNDERRATED HE IS. But also that Tyler has problems but they go over looked because he's not as shy and more open
This short film moved me to tears. I was more engaged in Tick Where It Hurts than any other film I have watched regardless of whether it was a short film or a multi million pound film. I am shocked by how powerful this film was but I love it. Keep it up Bertie!
As I said previously, you're gunna go so far in life. x
I love how it is so different from the content other youtubers post. This was great.
Bertie, I have been a huge fan of your UA-cam for a very long time, and I thought your first short film was AMAZING. This is by far the new favourite. I loved Stray Dog for it's small but quirky and dark plot, but this was so much more. The cinematogoraphy was elegant, beautiful yet quite terrifying. The red eye was make up done brilliantly well, and the use of the red in the inner thoughts is really beautiful looking. You and your fellow dead musician did emotional performances, and one of the best things is that you never find out why he did it, or how. And you don't need to, it would almost spoil it a little, it was a perfect film that felt in the past but was set in an odd little present. It reflects different characters and society, and I feel like it almost represents something personal in your life, so in that sense i hope you are well and so is your state of mind. It was stunning Bertie Gilbert, you have done yourself proud.
stomping grounds just came out so I decided to come back to this one. now ur new one is objectively better, but theres something about this film that i love. it's my favorite short film of all time ❤️❤️
I love the direction your UA-cam has gone in. I don't know of any UA-camr that goes as in depth into their videos as you do. This one made me cry at 3 different points! XD Your videos are so clever and I haven't watched one yet that I don't like! Keep going, these are amazing!
amazing !
Oh hey there Dave!
My God that blew me a way. I know I'm a little late to the party, but that was truly amazing.
I keep re-watching this because it just has this incredible effect on my mind. i can't stop thinking about it, thats what i love about your short films - they're so thought provoking - please keep making more! i can't stop
Only just got round to watching this. Again, masterfully executed. Well done Bertie.
I know that you'll probably won't even see this comment but I.. I really want to write this because if you ever decide to check the comments and if you happen to fall on mine, which the odds are quite improbable i must say but whatever, you'll know. What will you know exactly? You will know that you made me feel something tonight. I've been feeling quite empty - emotionless - these past few weeks... you know, the kind of sadness that you're so used to that you just, don't feel anymore. The feeling or emptiness that's just constantly present, like the sound of your own breaths. The kind of empty where you have the sensation that all your internal organs are gone, that you literally are an empty body, that can move and communicate in some way, that is stuck in one constant routine. Tonight though, at 11:13PM, I have felt something. I'm not quite sure what the emotion was. To be brutally honest, I have no clue. I just think I was overwhelmed with the idea of my sadness - my emptiness - portrayed. I was so moved by your wonderful yet simple realisation that it made me cry; something that I haven't done for a while now. And it was so relieving. I don't know why, but it was. It was probably because crying made me figure out that I still had emotions.. I know, an odd thing to hear (or read or whatever). Of course, I am happy when stuff happens, even the littlest of things, but that happiness is extremely temporary. And since I haven't actually felt anything but emptiness for so long, actually feeling sadness to a point where tears shed from my eyes felt... nice. It was soothing and, well, felt good. I don't know where exactly I found the words and courage to write this, especially on the Internet, where I could easily be called demented for writing such a long paragraph in the comments section of a youtube video. However, I do think that this is another thing your film made me do; it made me able to explain, kind of, how I am feeling and for me, being able to express myself, written or orally, has always been a challenge due to my lack ability to do so, I guess? I mean that in the way that everytime I try to say something, it sounds like I'm critisizing or whatsoever or I'm afraid to harm anyone in a certain way... Anywho, I've been rambling for a while now, and I am deeply and genuinely sorry, but I really wanted to tell you this because I think that leaving ''you're film is amazing'' or ''continue your great work Bertie'' as a comment to this video, is not enough for the quality, effort, privacy and feelings you put into that piece. I honestly want to thank you for putting this video online because it helped me a lot. Thank you.
