Thank you so much for watching this film. I was fortunate enough to direct it, and it was literally just a dream project. From this tiny little idea, to casting DAVID flipping HAREWOOD from Blood Diamond and Supergirl, to going to L.A to premiere our film, and now, it's even qualified for the BAFTAs. I'm speechless. We had the most amazing team, who literally turned a small little film into something that looks like a Hollywood production. The film was made to start conversations. We hope we can open this dialogue to discuss intergenerational trauma, race, identity, and all of the things that make us who we are! It goes a REALLY long way to share the film guys, so keep the conversation going, and let's get this film SEEN!!
Incredibly moving, beautiful film! You and your team are true masters of emotions. All elements are perfectly matched. We need such stories and emotions to make our world better. Thank you!
Thank you bro, this whole journey started with you ♥️ I'd be nowhere if we didn't discover our love for making windows movie maker cartoons on your PC 😂
Incredible Incredible Incredible! So powerful and such an important message about intergenerational dialogue and the need to tackle difficult topics that divide us head on
Wow, what a compliment, one of my favourite films of the decade that was. I'm speechless. We want films like this to start conversations and open up dialogue! Hoping we can do that. What is the topic you think most needs to be discussed from this film?
@@Shehroze the generational divide between fathers & sons is a massive one I’d love to be explored. Also the way Dion was inside his head was an amazing story device. Id love that to be explored in greater depth in other stories!
This is what I love to see. Those moments of honest vulnerability between a father and son is what we need more of on screen to normalise the interaction and break barriers. I‘m looking forward to the full feature, the world needs to see the rest of this story! Well done to everyone involved!
Yesss! Let's get this heard far and wide. This story NEEDS to be expanded. There is so much more to say. Was there a particular scene that resonated with you?
That is the dream honestly. Start conversations, and have the platform to be able to share this story further and wider. The goal is a feature, we won't stop till we hit it!
Jonathon Deering. Superb composer. Domizia Salusest. Literally a genius. Adam Lewis. Best Editor I've ever worked with. I feel so lucky to be around this kind of talent, thank you so much for your kind words. Which bit of the music did you like most?
@@Shehroze Well done to those crew members .Beeautiful . The part of the music score that stood out most was the part where the dad broke down + his sons hugged him . IGoosebumps during that amazing Mr Deering
These actors! Noah is a child star. David is a veteran, a legend, we're so lucky to have him. And Sel who plays Dion, that guy is the next big thing, take it from me! Which bit did you connect with most ?
Cinematography by the genius Domizia Salusest. She is the real deal. Nathan Ford on lighting too. But what a dream team! Did you find yourself siding with any of the characters more than others?
Literally, unreal how much talent was in this film. Sharing the film with your networks goes a really long way for us :) What were your favourite bits?
Famalam!!!!! My heart right now is over flowing!!!! You know I love LoVe LOVE this film the story, the cinematography, the heart and soul that went into the whole process from start to finish is evident on the screen. I am so so proud of everyone involved!!!!
That literally means the world to me Jade. It was such a cathartic process, getting to workshop the film with 40 young people. Truly a healing process to make the film, and hopefully the film stirs up so many conversations after too
Thank you for the kind words. It goes a really long way for our exposure to share the film with yours friends and family. Just out of curiosity, has the film made you think about conversations you might have with a child/parent?
Thank you so much bro, that really means a lot. Seeing your journey has been hugely inspirational to me buddy so really appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment
Thank you so much, sharing the film goes a long way for us. We want to turn this into a feature, would you like to see a full-length feature film on the topic?
Wow! I saw the post on Facebook and clicked on the link. I did not expect such a great film. Well done to all the crew and chapeau 🎩 to the director 👏🏾. Very impressive!
This film is going to be a.....KNOCKOUT! 🥊 Everyone part of this movie is so talented and certified champions 👑 Rocky WHO??? Apollo Creed who dat? Although disappointed it didn't come out on Boxing Day🤣👑
Thank you so much for the insightful comment. Getting to work with Shehroze, Selorm and the rest of the team has been an absolute joy. We workshopped with 40 young people to truly get nuanced perspectives of what intergenerational dialogues around these issues look like, and we couldn't be prouder that this authenticity has come through. Did you have a favourite scene?
This is awesome . Its mind blowing . It's educating. even as a parent,this short film opens up different angles as well as closes the gap between the generations. A must watch over and over.
Thank you so much for the kind comments Wisdom, it honestly means a lot. The real joy is getting to work with a genius like Selorm, he wrote his very first script and that film is starring a Hollywood Star and premiered in Los Angeles. That is not a common thing, that is a truly special thing. Selorm is truly the real deal :)
@@Shehroze definitely related to Dion, I've also seen my elders act or have ideas about life in ways that definitely stems from generational trauma, and just like in the film we all pray for that breakthrough but perhaps we have to be the ones to cut the cycle of trauma
As a 40 year old man all i can say is i was completely blown away by this short film it felt like a hour long film the acting was amazing and the way it kept flipping the scene was crazy i hope yo see more great films like this from the writer/producer 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💯💙
Thank you for sharing that with us David, really appreciate the kind words. It goes a really long way for our exposure to share the film with yours friends and family. Just out of curiosity, has the film made you think about conversations you might have with a child/parent?
@@Shehroze yh it definitely made me think as dad of 4 how would i handle that kind of situation with my boys when they grow up, also with my daughter's as well, it made me really think about the roll model i am for them all aswell and how can i improve on that so yh man thank once again for making the video I'll definitely be showing it to my kids and then we can analyse it and hopefully they can learn some important lessons from it 👊🏻💯💙
@@MYMofficial How do I do this without spoiling anything? 😂 I love how well David's character is written. It's not that he's just a tough father or 'manly' but he's written with nuance and a back story that humanises him and makes us feel sorry that he's turned out the way that he has. There is an inner conflict to him throughout the film that David portrays brilliantly and Selorm's character (Dion) does a fantastic job of bringing more and more out of him. Even though we're in the confines of a small boxing ring, the film does a great job of world-building and we get an insight into how much more is really going on in this family - through words spoken and unspoken.
Couldn't agree more . I count myself so lucky to have gotten to work with such a dream team. Our lighting department was literally just 1 person. It's unreal. 1 person made the film look like a Hollywood set
Speechless bro. I was emotional watching it throughout. It made me think of my own relationship with my father. Thank you for exploring this relationship between father and son.
This really warms my heart and is exactly what this film is supposed to do. Maybe it may allow you to speak to your dad or even write it down and when ready share with him. Just be ok with the fact that you can’t control his response but regardless you would have let go of what you needed to move forward on your healing and be an even more incredible king than you probably already are 👑🖤
@@jadenewton-gardener7190 Thank you for the beautiful and wise words. And thank you for making such a film that explores these sometimes taboo subjects. Congrats to everyone who worked on the film
@@Shehroze I think it's just having an open dialogue but it is easier said then done. With my father, many times I felt like I couldn't open up because of the expected masculinity you are supposed to have as a young man. But even a few words would have been enough for me to know that he understood my fear and trepidation of life.
He is very talented! I do love the whole concept of the storyline. Both the young boys played their roles very well. Cant wait to see what else is in store for Noah, next time with a bigger role 🙂
