- Two strangers meet to hook up.
MATCH is used with permission from Laura O'Shea and Tony Doyle. Learn more at lauraoshea.com and lisarichards.c....
A young man and woman drive out at night to meet in a remote location. They've just matched on a dating app and both are nervous. After some perfunctory small talk, they get down to the business of hooking up.
But the encounter doesn't go as planned in a few different ways, including a phone call from the man's ex and the woman's nervousness. So they decide to get coffee -- and then embark on a new adventure entirely.
Written and directed by Laura O'Shea and Tony Doyle (who also star as the appealing pair at the center of the story), this short romance has a slice-of-life feel, with naturalistic light and camera. With no names, the main characters could easily be an everyman and everywoman. But the film's seemingly ordinary approach is far from boring or mundane. Instead, it foregrounds the everyday, resolutely human magic of finding someone special when you least expect it.
The writing and performances are the strong foundation of the film, and both have an eye and ear for relatability. Both the man and woman are matter-of-fact and down-to-earth, which brings subtle humor to their first encounter's awkwardness. They approach it like a job, even, and it's no surprise when it doesn't go as expected. For a brief moment, it encapsulates the limits of modern dating, with its emphasis on expediency and personality-as-marketing.
The date could be a disaster, but they decide to regroup by grabbing a coffee. They begin to get to know one another, and as the audience digs deeper with them, they reveal themselves to be quite likable and engaging, both on their own and together as a pair. As actors, both O'Shea and Doyle have a rapport and chemistry that feels both instantly comfortable and engaged, and they both are excellent at capturing their characters' seemingly fleeting feelings and thoughts. Watching them slowly earn each other's trust is a quietly delightful process.
They take the time to reveal deeper vulnerabilities and insecurities in a way that's real and endearing. And more importantly, they listen and take in each other's personal baggage with equanimity, acceptance and compassion. That opens up a space for fun, adventure, reflection -- and perhaps even something more than either was looking for.
Authentic, honest, funny and heartwarming, MATCH doesn't need the trappings of romantic atmosphere or a sense of the aspirational to charm its audience. Instead, the characters learn to keep it real with each other, a discovery relayed in a narrative that feels as truthful and genuine as its storyline and characters. In doing so, they may have found something magical with one another. Authenticity is the ultimate romance, as it turns out, which makes room for laughter, connection and that ineffable something we call spark.

Hey guys! I'm Laura. I'm the co-writer/director and lead female actor in Match! Hope you guys enjoyed the short and thanks for watching :)
This is so good, Laura. I like how how you weave a profound story of encounters via a simple story. Excellent work!
Loved it! Beautiful short film. Thank you Laura!
Loved it ❤️
Hi,
I have to say the writing, acting, and actor direction were on point!
Often on this channel the writing/acting is bad and that takes you right out of the film, here it was exactly the opposite, it pulled me right in and i loved it, great job!
Legend......my Friday is complete already.....
Stay Safe, Creative and Inspirational Always 🧡
LOVED THIS..such a sweet story.. I forgot I was watching a short film and was willing them to stop messing about and arrange another date.. the ending was lovely. Thank you for this heartfelt tale.
Thanks so Much for the kind words!
@@lauraoshea6228 loved it. My family always told me I should act. My mom had chrones and 1 of my sisters does as well. I might but I have to go back to gi doc and I'm scared. So lovely that it is genetic. Anywho you did a great job and I absolutely loved the story.
Great ❤
A very engaging story but what made you watch it and be drawn in were the two performances. They nailed this completely, totaly told the truth with their characters and you believed their growing attractive to the point of willing them not to say goodbye forever. Really great work.
Thanks so much for the kind words. It really means a lot to us! :)
The thing I hate about Omeleto is that so many times I will watch one of these... Then be like.... "Okay... Continue.... Show the next 2 hours of the film...." but no they are all short films, but quality over quantity.
Thanks so much for watching!
Franklin Turtle > Agreed. Viewing Omeleto shorts is like being served plump, soft, juicy, golden, non-sulfured, organic, rum-soaked raisins instead of the full rice pudding. You get the essence of the dish, without the fluff, and you hunger for more. Bon Appétit!
That’s what about “SHORT FILMS”
s'funny .. that's what I love about Omeleto ... .for me, an intense, complete, & beautiful story in 15 minutes ... such a comfort on a night when I could really use it ...
💞 Im in the middle of making breakfast and I just realized Ive been standing here frozen with a spoon in my hand for half the film. 😂 Great film. Im smiling
That made me laugh 😅 thank you so much for watching! So glad you enjoyed it.
I really admire the Irish accent and these two cute people too. Great acting. Simplicity and innocence are the keys to the heart of the audience.
Julius Semenas > Agreed. The gentle Irish accent is easy to interpret in contrast to the strong lilting that is heard in many Irish short films at Omeleto.
Hey thanks so much! We really appreciate you watching :)
I really enjoyed this! I'm a guy but have had pancreas and bowel surgeries many times so when the colostomy issue with the woman was revealed it made it more real to me. Good job on this. If I found a woman who had that issue I would treat her like gold. God bless from the states!
Thanks so so much for watching. We are thrilled you found it relatable and enjoyed it!
i thought at the end he'd send her a text saying "get home safe" . this was so sweet! definitely leaves me wanting more but also leaves a nice opening so we can just imagine the rest ourselves
Thanks for watching. So glad you enjoyed it!
a " get home safe" , could be interpreted as "i still love my ex, tho"
This only happens in a movie or small town otherwise somebody gonna lose a kidney.
😅 thanks for watching!
Haha haha
Whaaaaaat
The truth which I can't agree more with 😂
There's something about Irish brogue, that's charming to listen to, especially when a story is told.
Oh gosh please I hope nobody does this-never meet a stranger in the dark in a car!
I've done it... I drove to meet a girl and we made sweet love. She was very beautiful and it felt fan-tabulus. I've done it a few times, tbh
Her whole plan was to get laid by a random person. A rapist would probably be turned off by her willingness. People who a willing and able to commit murder without a motive are very rare, which is why it's such a media hype whhen it happens. But fear itself is what makes more people misserable then any crime.
But what if that is how she finds her true love? No venture no gain.
In some cases, you can end up losing a kidney. Or worse, losing both kidneys. Those organ traffickers are using dating and hooking up apps to find their preys too, you know? It's okay to be an optimist and naive about love, but it doesn't mean you have to lose your logic along the way. Know the risks and have a plan, should things go south. Imagine the worst case scenario and ask yourself, "Can I get out of that situation unharmed?". If you can't answer that, then it's best not to go through with it.
@@anthonyb7571 I hope you're capable of defending yourself, should you meet the wrong people. Cause if you keep on doing it, chances are, you'll end up in a ditch somewhere.
I am an ostomy patient I watched watched this film 7-8 months ago before I got my ostomy bag.
All thanks to this short I knew what an ostomy is and I didn't freak out when my doctor said that they'll make a hole in my stomach and I am gonna poop from that from now on.
People around the world have very little knowledge about ostomy.
Thanks for making this🤗
Love from India ❤❤
finding someone that accepts you and stick around is a match made in heaven
Phenomenal Short Film, the leads nailed their roles. Fantastic direction too
Oh boy, the chemistry between the two. I love it.
I still love this even after viewing 5 times. It's a golden memory to meeting a Match! Thank you Laura and Tony!
That's so nice of you to say. Thank you so much!
This was so sweet. I got teary eyed at the end. I think they end up dating, getting engaged, married have kids and have a hell of a story to tell how they met. 👫
Thanks so much for watching. We really appreciate it! Who knows, you may be right.. 👀
@@lauraoshea6228 Laura, that sheer divide between "hook-up culture" and finding true love. The way they started and the way they ended with that pure, wholesome hug. You've done SUCH a fantastic job!!!!!!!!!!!
Last I heard they just got divorced and are fighting now over who gets the kids.
stop that ! .... @@waltjabsco9338 ... lol
Absolutely a wonderful story Laura! Binging short stories currently and yours was definitely my favorite, captures these emotions excellently!
That’s very sweet of you to say. So glad you liked it!
Just watched it Loved the story. It gives me hope that there are still good people out there that can be completely honest and that it's what's on the inside that counts. U two are amazing actors and I would to see more short stories thx again
That's so nice of you to say! Thank you so much for watching :)
Cute and sweet short. Laura you did a brilliant job. He did too. Conversations was relatable in a indirect way for me. Hope to see more of your works soon.
That’s so kind of you to say! Thank you very much for watching :)
There need to be MORE heartfelt stories like this! As a legendary singer/songwriter once said: "We've GOT to get ourselves, back to The Garden!"
Thanks so much! We’re thrilled you enjoyed it :)
After the first 2 minutes.....this is NOT how I envisioned it would go..............just brilliant!
Ah thank you! So glad you enjoyed our little film!
This video was so great and just reminds of all the great work from this part of the world. I know this was a short and not a full length film but this gave me a similar feeling to ones I had watching Once and Sing Street. Laura O'Shea and Tony Doyle have a chemistry that feels so real and honestly I wanted to film to go on. Thanks for sharing this.
That means a lot. Thank you for watching!
Lovely short. And thank you for the subtitles
Thank you for watching :)
is the north Dublin accent that strong that subtitles are needed ahaha
Still coming back to this short film. God such a lovely feelings to have
Loved it, well-done Laura and everyone involved☀️
Cheers! Thanks so much :)
Started of a little wild but I loved this! Why cant people meet like this for real and just enjoy each other? No pressure just good ol conversations and time. Ugh🙄
Hey thanks for watching!
That was an amazing short!!! I really enjoyed it. We never know what others are going through, because we are too busy thinking about ourselves. ❤
Their acting was sooogood. I loved it.I am definitely gonna rewarch this in the future...
That’s so kind of you to say. We are thrilled that you enjoyed it! :)
That was sweet. Always great to see someone from Inner City Dublin not shown to be a total scumbag or violent thug. We're not all bad. I like the chemistry between both actors and you can tell the characters will more then likely get together down the line. But it doesn't usually hope in one night. Like the scene with the Ex though.
And nice to see a film where a character is a Virgin, and no one is made to feel embarrassed by it.
Would love to see a sequel with these two characters maybe as a couple.
The way you can see the sky begin to clear at 9:25 really got to me. This is brilliant, beginning to end.
Hey thanks so much for the kind words! We’re thrilled you enjoyed it!
I love these because they always put deep things that leave me thinking about them long after into a short span of time ❤️
That is very sweet of you to say! So glad you liked the short. Thank you :)
@@lauraoshea6228 you're a really great actress!
@@michaelmoffat2296 That’s very kind. Thank you so much!
I didn't quite buy the initial bit of grappling (though, of course, we're not told how things actually got the two of them to that point), but everything from then on rang true. Good work, obviously heartfelt, very professional. Hope to see more of these actors; both were quite good, and she's a cutie pie. Kudos all around!
Hey thanks so much for watching! It means a lot!
@@lauraoshea6228 Thank you, young lady, for allowing us spoiled, cheapskate Omeleto viewers to enjoy your work. You and Mr. Doyle worked together extremely well, and now I have to track down "Hold the Line." Best to you both in your careers!
I absolutely loved this.
I loved this movie so much! I spent years teaching children and young adults with severe medical issues so thank you for highlighting the difficulties many people face.
Thank you. So glad you enjoyed it!
Omeleto is legit! Good thing about short stories is that pretty much every scene has meaning and purpose.... no garbage in between the important parts. Maybe that's what makes them so relatable.
Thanks for watching!
This short should be made into a full movie!
We’ve written the script! Just need a production company to back us. Any ideas? 👀🎬
@@lauraoshea6228 Umm.... Hollywood? Yeah, bad idea. LOL
I'm not crying, you're crying. This was lovely.
Hey thanks for watching! So glad you liked it :)
I LOVE IT When stuff like this happens. 2 Lonely humans just having a connection.
That’s very kind of you to say. We are thrilled you enjoyed our film!
Is this the hardest accent to understand? Absolutely can't do without subtitles
It's heart touching, please post such type stories 🙂
1. Subtitles because their Irish accents are so thick.
2. Best date ever.
I was worried this was going to take a dark turn
If only men really were like that
Swear this dude was in a movie I just watched called Bloody Hell.
Beautiful!!! Started quite wierdly but it unfolded in a lovely story full of hope and fututre...I like that!!
Thank you for watching!
WHAT A MOVIE.
THAT BEAUTIFUL, PURE HUG: IT EXPLAINS EVERYTHING!!
That’s very kind of you to say. We are thrilled you enjoyed our short!
@@lauraoshea6228 Yes!!! And I heard the two of you are best friends!!!??? It makes it all the more wonderful!!! When are we going to see you two again???? If I were in Ireland, I'd have cheered for another from the two of you in person!!!!
that was heart warming so beautiful those odd meeting's sometimes turn a life around
We are so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching :)
That was beautiful - more story in this than you get in a lot of so-called blockbusters!
Thanks for watching!
Loved it 😍. This is the beginning of a real friendship. ♥
Thanks so much for watching. So glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks Jim Cummings for recommending this short film.
Jim is the best!
I like the use of the word grand.
That was a lovely story, the actors performances where great! Thank you!
Thank you for watching!
This was beautiful. Well done!
Thank you so much :)
"Ireland's all right sometimes isn't it?"
This has got to be one of my favorite shorts. 💕💕. Thank you for sharing!
And thank you for watching! 😊
Beautiful story. Believeable. well written, and well acted. I completely enjoyed it.
Thanks for the kind words. We really appreciate you taking the time to watch! :)
@@lauraoshea6228 It is always a pleasure to watch a master performance of a great story.
the last message be like " how about we start a real date"
Congratulations and well done Laura and team for a real gem. Best wishes from Auckland, New Zealand.
Thanks so much Howard. Really appreciate it! Best wishes right back at ya from Dublin :)
God i love the Irish and the Land.
I can't wait to visit.
Such charming, sweet people.
Such a beautiful part of the World.
Wow, that was beautiful... Made me cry... Great job!
Thanks so much for the kind words and for watching!
8:03 You can tell she's already into him or else she wouldn't go to the length of making his ex jealous of her!!!!
Some people meet, fall in love, and then get it on. But some people got it backwards like them. But love is love. The sequence doesn't matter, when you're with the right person, you'll fall in love.
That was really good and who knew that online dating could be so healthy LOL
Hey thanks for watching!
Beautiful movie ! Great actors. They like each other.
Thank you! Yes, we are best friends :)
MY GOD I LOVE THIS SO MUCH IM LITERALLY CRYING TEARS OF JOY
Hey that’s so kind of you to say! We are thrilled that you liked our little film so much. Thanks for watching :)
Sweet. maybe too sweet. Not gonna get an Oscar but far better than most shorts. Unrealistic, of course - like most relationships, chances of it working out are slim to none,
I didn't realize they were speaking english for a while
Ireland's alright. I would like to visit Ireland someday. Are people all that nice there? Lovely story.
Your provision of multiple smiles in me, is well appreciated!!! :-) It occurs in-often on the internet today.
Many thanks; I'm still grinning! ;-) [Aside: another 10 min after he asks to see the bag. I spent months in hospital as a kid.
Too much for a short film, but it might have been an interesting twist]
Thanks for watching!
I loved this story.
That was awesome, loved it!!!
Nice! But hey - never hook up like that! 😱
Truly ready for part two🥰❤
Thanks so much for watching!
Geez, kind of impossible not to love them both, isn't it?
So nice of you to say. Thanks for taking the time to watch our little film!
@@lauraoshea6228 Thank you for a lovely one! 😊
Amazing 🌹 and story and acting skills are amazingly performed
Thank you! Appreciate you taking the time to watch :)
I thoroughly enjoyed this thanks!
Thank you for watching! :)
Him, Her, Ex. 😂
Brilliant, thank you for that 12 minute smile on a Monday morning.
Thank you for watching!
Very cool. Good story. Well acted and directed. Now I want to see MORE . .what happens next??
Thought he was going to murder her at first, but it turned out so not murderously. : )
Loved it. Great short story. 👏
Thanks so much for watching!
@@lauraoshea6228 As a film judge in BIAFF (judging all this weekend), I would rate this highly.
@@PipCritten Wow, that's lovely to hear. Thank you!
If someone says sorry one more time!
That was a very good watch! Now you must do a follow-up! I wanted one of them to ring the other to reschedule another date so frikking badly! I personally have experienced almost that same kind of date except for the bag, she has MS instead which was quite challenging for her. We are now great friends. I hope you can do a follow-up and develop this into a healthy relationship! How refreshing would that be? Thank you for sharing your video! Excellent!
Thanks so much for watching!
michael paulissen > Similarly, I once had a first date with a woman and invited her to dine with me at a restaurant. She insisted that we meet there at exactly 6:00 PM, and I'm not a 6-ish kind of person, so I got there early to avoid being late. As we partook of our meal, she revealed that she had a mild case of early-onset diabetes, and she had to consume all of her meals strictly by the clock to avoid insulin injections for the rest of her life. I originally met her at a calligraphy supply shop where she worked, and we remained on friendly terms.
@Michael Pailissen Please explain what a Colostomy Bag is and what did she mean he couldn't hack into it? Was she talking about penetration and if so why wasn't he able to?
Grrrr, i LOVE Irish accents on a woman! >_<
Good short too!
Damn, this is just what I needed right now. It bought a smile to my face
That means a lot. Thanks so much for watching!
YES !!!! loved it. looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooved it! the irish are so good at film!
Ah thank you. We are thrilled that you enjoyed our little short! :)
I gotta have a relationship like this
Excellent and sweet story - and love that very Irish accent (what you could understand of it)!
Thanks so much for watching! We were assured that the Closed Captions would be greatly appreciated 😅
Good one! :) Also - what's the name of the short Omeleto movie, where a blonde girl is alone in a smallest futuristic apartment ever (I think it's those Tokyo weird building with circle windows) in the future...can't find it. I liked that one too. Watched it some time before pandemic and remember thinking to myself "this must be far far future" haha
GREAT SUPERB EXCELLENT FOOKIN FILM MATE! Loved it enjoyed every bit of it! BRILLIANT! Fookin outta this world!
After the 1st minute & a half, I was going to shut it off, but I'm glad I watched it til the end. I could do without the foul language, though.
Thought that was Cole Bennett
"See ya, hun" .. 😂😅😋
Really enjoyed this. Thankyou💙🌎
LOVED their accents 😍
Thank you!
Love the music
Another fantastic story
