Rino Rien - Im pretty sure he swapped them on purpose. He looked closely at each photo next to each other and changed the envelopes. And then he went to the adress himself to check if they met
@Roger Eisnaugle - In the Photo - Yes. And that's what intrigued the boy so much. In the final scene the boy gave her a beautiful smile. That's what he wanted all along.
@WeeStrom CO Guy It's still a risky move. I was told to always keep white lights out of the darkroom. If any photogenic photos get caught in the light, they'll turn black. Even when the photos are hanging out to dry it's still a problem. There were strict rules that as long as there was a single photo in that room, the lights had to remain off.
bakersmileyface not sure if that was the problem as the door was open, showing all exposures were done. I think he was berating the kid for doing his own developing with the owners materials.
@@bakersmileyface, how many have you developed? Drying photos are simply drying. That's the way it went when I assisted my older sis in photo processing. Light is no longer an issue at that point. After the developer is done doint its work you rinse the photo and submerge it into a fixing agent solution. Once that is done, one final rinse and out to dry you go.
All of the actors were wonderful. The actor playing Jenny looked so broken hearted when the print was gone. The actor playing Aaron was wonderfully expressive as well. Great cast and production!
How I enjoyed this film! It's a beautiful, wholesome story that is marvelously told and filmed. The time period is my grandparents' generation but the authenticity took me back to a time when they told me their stories and showed me their photos. The acting, the music, the sepia-like coloration - all superb. I was very impressed by the way the central characters drew me in - it takes quite a talent to do that in short format. My hat is tipped to everyone involved in its making 👏🏻👏🏻
Your channel deserves recognition for featuring these short films which are so good but have no chance to be seen by the majority of the movie goers who love good movies but are deprived to see them in movie theaters. Thank you and may you get million subscribers.
I stay home on weekends now, living vicariously through the stories submitted by the talented film makers. And thank you Omeleto for being the date that never stands me up.
Where’s your Grandma? She’s at the Grocers Me: Okay Wait Where’s your Grandma? She’s Sleeping at Aunt Jannie’s She’s Not coming home tonight? Me: ........😯Oh I See
What a wonderful story. A great imagination thought this up! The coloring, the mood, the acting, the music are all superb. And the story is truly heart-rending and sweet.
Yes exactly what I was thinking! I was looking for such a comment. It definitely has that "Amelie" feel even the music. That was one of my favorite films. Just finding this one, though I thought I'd seen most of Omeleto's shorts, but this one was a hidden gem. 💕
You don't need words to depict emotions :) I'd love to see some short film web series from you guys . For one video isn't always enough to tell beautiful stories
How could this have been here since last year and i didn't see it !??! I thought I'd seen them all. Better go back thru and see if I missed any others. btw, I loved this one
I love the tints. I love the wide shots . I love the photography. Often life offers a smudged painting or photo of what could have been. I love to dream.
Ah, that brought back memories of my grandfather. No, he's not dead, but I feel pity because nobody in the family cares for him and now they are all discussing the will.
When started watching I got Monsoon Mangos feel to it. Then the director card came up & saw "Abi Varghese". Wonderful, awesome! Love from Kerala! Expecting more projects.
What a beautiful short. Edit: I have watched this four times, something about it is just amazing. Edit #2: I think this is my 6th time watching this, I got dumped out of a 5 year relationship and it hurts. I don't know why this helps, but it does. Edit #3: I just met someone and we get along really well. I had lost hope. Don’t know why I’m putting this here. Guess I just wanted my little story to have a happy ending.
Dear Omeleto the moment i watched your first video , I'm watching next in loop !! Please stop making so beautiful contented addictive videoes and give me some break !! I got a life to live ;)
CINESTHESIA yeh, before I commented that i was searching if anyone else had said the same thing, but apparently not ahahaha. The resemblance is truly uncanny.
Nice work! I like the "Amélie poulin" feeling... was this filmed in Québec? If so, the smudged adress in the back of the photo reminds me of "sur ma peau" de paul piché (le vidéoclip)
Stirred up similarities to "The Red Balloon" in a good way. I liked how much was going on in this one without really much dialog at all. Very touching moments with the boy's natural ability as a matchmaker. I feel like more should have happened regarding the business boom that stemmed from the matchmaking. Maybe reference to it after the dismissal? Great cinematography, music and I enjoyed it all.
What a unique and refreshing story? Such wonderfully Acted scenes in this monochromatic setting make you feel this young man's emotions? A spark for love and a hidden joy as he ups one on his nasty employer! I love that his efforts pay off in the end when he is miraculously given the gift back? Every Omeleto film is so wonderful done with the very finest talent of filmmakers and Actors and all the rest involved, you know who you are, and what I mean?
We live in the time where almost all access to human culture and history is easily accessible. Wanna live out your vintage dreams? Collect whatever it is from that era and use that in your life as an aesthetic and try to embody it.
This channel is awesome. I am quite selfless as a person. But stories like this and the cinematography are so rich and precious that I just don't want to share these or recommend to my connections. I just can't
@@campeador94 You know the feeling! These are for a few niche people who can capture the beauty in their eyes though. Most are happy watching crap with views in millions.
I won't mind to be called a selfish for this. People are busy watching crap and finding out the conclusion of 'Shutter Island'. It's something that a few can appreciate.
The old man's acting is awesome... Don't know why but its just too realistic and now i cant stop feeling sad about that character.
You must not watch a lot of films-the old man was (at best) okay. The others were straight up bad.
Damm same made feel so sad
The kid invented Tinder :D
Strangers see photos of eathother and decide to contact one another or not, without knowing much about the person...
I thought he just sent the letters to the wrong address, thus making one of them to go deliver it to the correct address and meeting the person?
@@tubemankiwi that is what i thought too...
@@qattah I'm still unsure if we're the ones interpreting it correctly or not haha
tinder is the shitiest app that ever existed
Rino Rien - Im pretty sure he swapped them on purpose. He looked closely at each photo next to each other and changed the envelopes. And then he went to the adress himself to check if they met
Me: I don't believe in love.
Omeleto: Let me introduce myself.
Ikr. Starting to make be believe in it again
Hey, what's up? I'm from the future. Don't do it!
She might have beautiful eyes, but she sure looked sad.
for poets are artists beautiful eyes are those who feel sad
@@AmjadMiandad 😢
@Roger Eisnaugle - In the Photo - Yes. And that's what intrigued the boy so much. In the final scene the boy gave her a beautiful smile. That's what he wanted all along.
She looked too gorgeous for the period this movie takes place in.
I can't believe he turned the light on in the darkroom.
It's called a darkroom for a reason.
@WeeStrom CO Guy It's still a risky move. I was told to always keep white lights out of the darkroom. If any photogenic photos get caught in the light, they'll turn black.

bakersmileyface not sure if that was the problem as the door was open, showing all exposures were done. I think he was berating the kid for doing his own developing with the owners materials.
once the photo is "fixed", the light wont affect it anymore
@@bakersmileyface, how many have you developed? Drying photos are simply drying. That's the way it went when I assisted my older sis in photo processing. Light is no longer an issue at that point. After the developer is done doint its work you rinse the photo and submerge it into a fixing agent solution. Once that is done, one final rinse and out to dry you go.
Why can't you believe it? It's there in the video.
All of the actors were wonderful. The actor playing Jenny looked so broken hearted when the print was gone. The actor playing Aaron was wonderfully expressive as well. Great cast and production!
Not sure what film you're referencing as the "actors" in this were very amateur and bad.

The moment he went to return the box, I knew that girl would open the door.
I was expecting a better closure. Nevertheless, beautiful short film
@@fmkhan213 He could have least opened the box and had a rummage around...
Me too Johnny!
so predictable
"Lower the light, you with me or against me!" 😅
This channel really deserves more recognition, thank you Omeleto for these beautiful videos.
I hope this happens to me but it doesnt
I agree !! There is one problem though .............
I CANT QUIT WATCHING THEM AND SO MY SOCIAL LIFE IS BECOMING OBSOLETE! LOL
Definitely omeleto, definitely needs lot of recognition
Agreed!
Agree 1000%. Haven't stopped watching since I found it.
I thought, it looks like where I grew up. Then i saw the town on the back of the photo. 30 miles from my hometown.
Springvalley, NY? That's where it was filmed.
Thats rlly cool
I actually grew up _in_ Warwick. :-)
You are lucky man! That's a beautiful place!
That explains your bio pic
2:19 "How many times do I have to tell you?"
...even when you're crying you're beautiful too
the world is beating you down, I'm around...
what theff... lol! That's ten cents you owe me

The background music is so ear catching ! Just love it !

Yeah...these sweet little stories certain lifesavers ☺️☺️
Hey bebe c'mere I'll be yuor date you don't need omelette for that haehaehae ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Omeleto is Cupid here...ER and FTH
@@themontephone875 I wish omeleto finds me one too 😇
lahokc59 there was some humor used on my end.. thanks for your concern though!
Dear Omeleto, since I saw your first short I'm watching one after another! Can't stop watching, please don't let me stop!
Same here
Where’s your Grandma?
She’s at the Grocers
Me: Okay
Wait Where’s your Grandma?
She’s Sleeping at Aunt Jannie’s
She’s Not coming home tonight?
Me: ........😯Oh I See
Deji Adeleye yeah I had the same revelation
I realized when he said that she was a the groceries. When a relative has Alzheimer's it's easy to detect its symptoms.
@@lewissjj1417 😢 im not crying. Stay strong
Actually, her grandma has long been dead.
Beautiful story. The match making was just wonderful.
Sad about the father- I went thru that with my mom
They're playing with moonlight sonata and it's driving me up a wall every time the melody doesn't resolve.
It's also royalty free. :D
He who plays cupid for others
God plays as cupid for him❤️
Sometimes you see something so beautiful, you're lost for words. This video is such a something.
Am I the only one that thinks Omeleto deserves it's own show or Chanel. More people have to see the beauty in each story.🎇🎆
This kid grew up to be the subject of One-Hour Photo. In other words, this is the prequel to that film.
I’m loving all these shorts I’m seeing on Omeleto. I just wish we had full-length movies as wonderful!
The exquisite music and magic of photography is so beautifully captured here. It reminded me so much of Amelie.
What a wonderful story. A great imagination thought this up! The coloring, the mood, the acting, the music are all superb. And the story is truly heart-rending and sweet.
Young man's relationship with Dad is sweet.
It feels like the french movie "Amélie"
Yes exactly what I was thinking! I was looking for such a comment. It definitely has that "Amelie" feel even the music. That was one of my favorite films. Just finding this one, though I thought I'd seen most of Omeleto's shorts, but this one was a hidden gem. 💕
If you liked this kind of movie there is also one movie called "The double life of Veronique" by Kieslowski and its also interesting
You are exactly right. Amelie is terrific. This is plagiarism.
Oh my gosh yes
I wish I could meet somebody through wrong address...❤️
Rejwana Yeasmin meet someone with Neighbour number 😉🥰
meee toooo
Your dreams...hi...hi..hi...
This comment is funny
did you find anyone through wrong or right address
You don't need words to depict emotions :)
I'd love to see some short film web series from you guys . For one video isn't always enough to tell beautiful stories
Why did this make me wanna take up photography..
Vegan ninja Gabe same it's made it so sweet
The girl is soooo pretty😍😍
How could this have been here since last year and i didn't see it !??! I thought I'd seen them all. Better go back thru and see if I missed any others. btw, I loved this one
Unfortunately, neither Elizabeth Schweitzer nor The Return Address are in the Internet Movie DataBase (IMDB).
I love the tints. I love the wide shots . I love the photography. Often life offers a smudged painting or photo of what could have been.
I love to dream.
Ah, that brought back memories of my grandfather. No, he's not dead, but I feel pity because nobody in the family cares for him and now they are all discussing the will.
So sorry to hear that. Prayers for your grandfather Vaishali.
When started watching I got Monsoon Mangos feel to it. Then the director card came up & saw "Abi Varghese". Wonderful, awesome! Love from Kerala! Expecting more projects.
The first polaroid made available to the public, model 95.
What a beautiful short.
Edit:
I have watched this four times, something about it is just amazing.
Edit #2:
I think this is my 6th time watching this, I got dumped out of a 5 year relationship and it hurts. I don't know why this helps, but it does.
Edit #3:
I just met someone and we get along really well. I had lost hope. Don’t know why I’m putting this here. Guess I just wanted my little story to have a happy ending.
Now how is it going
@@kanchansharma8550not too great actually.
Umeed par duniya kayam( the world is built on hope )
Bravo - "LOVED" the lighting, location, camera angles and still - the young man was flawless 🙂
Wat a beautiful, gorgeous film with great actors. Thank you.
Beautiful story - wonderfully acted and directed! Made me nostalgic about my teenage years growing up among kindly people.
Love how the music does the most talking ... And the boy is just beautiful.
Dear Omeleto the moment i watched your first video , I'm watching next in loop !! Please stop making so beautiful contented addictive videoes and give me some break !! I got a life to live ;)
Jam Rodrigues
Your stories have so much soul
Thank you very much for changing my life
the girl literally looks like Meghan Markle
I was coming here to comment that, but then I realized that she bears such a striking resemblance surely someone else must have
CINESTHESIA yeh, before I commented that i was searching if anyone else had said the same thing, but apparently not ahahaha. The resemblance is truly uncanny.
Everyone's got a twin some where.
Meghan Markle's doppelganger
Only more natural
That last twist was like...
Just awesome...😍😍
Love love love these short stories thank you
Magical!!!! Casting, story, music... everything!!
Nice work! I like the "Amélie poulin" feeling... was this filmed in Québec? If so, the smudged adress in the back of the photo reminds me of "sur ma peau" de paul piché (le vidéoclip)
This was entirely plagiarized from Amelie. Virtually nothing original in this film.
Marvellous, splendid, exceptional.
Lets talk about how in reality he would end up as maybe a guy friend at best.
Great film. But what disturbed me was that they used a Polaroid Land 95, which is an instant camera, so there´s no need for a darkroom.
Vedanti, You are soooo right the music is wonderful
and this is the real How I Met Your Mother💙💕
Only 422 likes.. I really hope people appreciate good content and this beautiful channel.
What a beautiful little film, the whole look of it helped in setting the story.
It was beautifully opened to love

Very nice story. Beautiful ending.
Lovely film...hope u get more views
Very beautiful movie and music
Brilliant and touching!
Omfg A24 or others should taking this movie to the big screen..i mean i never expected i needed a long version of this..
Nice movie. About photography makes sense, as the cinematography is beautiful.
Beautiful, Fantastic,...Lovely!
Well done
Alfredo Linguini from ratatouille?
Young Dustin Hoffman as well...)
I loved the music score. I loved the story. I feel like I'm born in the wrong era.
Said every kid ever
Reminds me of Amelie a little bit.
This had an interesting timelessness like Willy Wonka.... was there supposed to be an era for this or was it intended to be vague?
Back in that era the Anglos would’ve shot you for civil disobedience
We live in the time where almost all access to human culture and history is easily accessible. Wanna live out your vintage dreams? Collect whatever it is from that era and use that in your life as an aesthetic and try to embody it.
I hope i find this true,innocent,
pure love.
Simply .. beautiful
I think my heart broke when the cameras broke LOL!
This is amazing
TOO BEAUTIFUL
I just discovered Omeleto. Wow! Beautiful work. I have enjoyed every video so far.
oh the postman plays cupid too
Too bad the shop keeper was too jealous to train someone who had a naturally good eye for photography. Could be the next Ansel Adams.
it's basically heart warming
A sweet and very precious story.
Heartwarming and authentic. ❤
Awww this was made really well! 😍
And they all lived happily ever after!!! Sweet story
That's a Polaroid camera, so why is he developing the pictures in a darkroom?
Same doubt 😬
Brilliant Story and Presentation
The art of style reminds me a little bit of the fabulous world of Amelie movie
Those big Polaroid land cameras were great with a indirect bounce flash for close up photos.
Perfect - very French in style
This channel is awesome. I am quite selfless as a person. But stories like this and the cinematography are so rich and precious that I just don't want to share these or recommend to my connections. I just can't
Couldn't have said it better myself. Gems like these are to precious to be shared with others.
selfless or selfish?

Wonderfully wondrous !
Very sweet - very sweet soul
it’s like if uncle rico and earl had a baby
I like this one too.
I like lighthearted videos for these trying times.
Brilliant job with the music
Omletto sure knows how to make a man feel lonely
This short film was quite lovely.
A talking silent movie
