    this short film amazingly demonstrates the trauma that parents go through when their child is growing up to see the real world. The father having to scramble around his son’s room to find the passcode to his laptop is an excellent metaphor to how hard it is for parents to understand what is happening to their children when they begin to isolate themselves and become less dependent.

    This was actually something that hurt personally. Due to my nickname being shooter back in high school, I was unaware what they meant until the day I graduated where at night I then realized. With the context of everything now they believed I was the most likely to have been a school shooter which I wouldn’t dare to as I always valued other’s lives more than mine. To see the point of view in which a concerned parent is desperately seeking answers as to figure out why his son would be the most likely culprit but hoping that he isn’t. The only reason as to why he didn’t know was just because of the guns being locked and the key being forgotten. With that said, this is truly a great video, we barely see anyone else but the father and his perspective. It hurts to know that if there were to have been an incident at my school, my family would have react the same way and believe it was me. I think about this now because truly I believe with such a tragedy such as a school shooting that there is such a terrible system in place for bullying. People get away with it and those standing against it are punished. It must be changed as when I was bullied, I was avoided or used as a thing, even made a laughing stock through many different ways. Yet keeping to myself and even avoiding to reveal that I play video games for years was best so that I’d be avoid further targeting. This video brings many memories to me and that I’m truly blessed to have gone through the years without a shooting happening.

    People really missed the point of this short film. The point is that just because someone is troubled, or plays violent video games, or is interested in guns or has problems with their social lives/parents, DOESNT mean they are going to become this monster/shooter in a given situation. Everyone has their interests and problems in life. Nobody’s life is this cookie cutter formula: If this happens, he’s a school shooter. It just doesn’t work like that. This short film effectively highlights that, and i commend the filmmakers.

I have no words to say but bravo, this highlights a load of issues in 15 minutes, but also highlights two persepctives in an incredibly interpretive and reasonable way, but you can also feel the stress intensity of both sides.

      It also shows how you never know who can turn out to be the next person to commit a crime as big as a shooting.
      And not to mention how much these crimes hurt the parents and other loved ones of the ones that are killed, injured, or somehow involved.
      This dad was holding his son's blanket, probably taking in his scent and crying as he recalled every single memory with him. All the while, he wondered WHY his son had committed this horrific crime.
      Granted, we see in the end that Andrew WASN'T the shooter ... but that doesn't change how there are plenty of parents who end up going through the same exact thing when they lose a child to a crime - whether they are a victim or the one who caused everything.
      "Why" is the big question that we all have, considering how nobody just wakes up one day and automatically decides to become a shooter.
      Overall, this short film is VERY powerful and realistic.

I'm pretty sure that's not how it's gonna work. Besides, a large majority of school shooters are students themselves, so they probably know general school protocol from active shooter drills, and aren't gonna be deterred by the fact that the lights are off, and aren't stupid enough to think that a dark, locked classroom means no students.

    holy.. shit... there are so many emotions in that last scene. The happiness from the realization that his son is alive, the shame of being convinced his son was the shooter in the first place, the guilt in knowing his son could have been and it would have been the father's fault for not showing enough compassion or support, and to top it all off... the horror of the fact that the girl the son was in love with is now dead..
    That's some grade A writing.

    This was beautifully done. You captured the rollercoaster of emotions the dad went on: worried his son is the shooter, convinced his son is the shooter, mad his son is the shooter, shocked and confused to see the gun cabinet was still full, then a combination of shock and relief since he thought his son was dead but also horrified guilt, for believing his son was capable of mass murder.

This flim was a bunch liberal garbage. their trying to ruin this country and yall dont even see it. Once they have taken the last of our remaining gun rights they'll take our speech. but i guess their allready doing that anyways this comment will probs be ban like Alex jones, and all the other conservaties their removing.
