- A teenage boy throws eggs at a man on his morning run.
FLYING EGGS is used with permission from Sheldon Chau. Learn more at sheldonchau.com.
Tony is out for his morning job in NYC when his workout is interrupted by an egg flying out at him from above, barely missing him as it splatters on the sidewalk. Tony needs to decide: should he go about his business or confront the perpetrator?
But when an egg finally does hit him, he goes after the prankster. And what he discovers upstairs in the apartment above will upend all his expectations.
Director Sheldon Chau and writer Antonio Garcia Jr. have created a short gem of a thriller, combining narrative surprise, terrific cinematography and propulsive editing to power an audience through an engaging roller-coaster of a film that will take viewers to a place they will not see coming.
The film has a strong foundation, resting on a tight, well-focused script that develops an everyday city dweller's dilemma into something infinitely darker, and ultimately more devastating.
The story's element of genuine surprise can't be overstated, but what the film does with that twist is ingenuous, emotionally compelling and demands incredible skill and craftsmanship to carry off. The short pays off that twist in spades, ensuring no moment is wasted or overstays its welcome and making sure each beat lands its visceral punch.
As the film races towards its climax, what we think has become an ordinary everyday drama has become weighty and even profound -- an example of the surprising ways our sense of ethics and morality are tested in today's world.
The result is a cinematic experience that begins one way and lands in completely unexpected -- but sadly logical -- territory. FLYING EGGS is ultimately about the tension between what we expect and what really lurks underneath those sometimes paltry assumptions, shaped by our experiences, ideas or moral imagination. With its blend of intelligent writing, intense and economical performances and stellar craft, this is a short that will have hearts both racing and breaking at the same time. - Фільми й анімація
when the boy said his parents were at the store, I thought because they were out of eggs
@Nathaniel McGuire parents went to buy eggs from the store because the kid kept some eggs hidden from the parents so he can throw them ? use ur brain.
lol
I don’t think those were parents but rather child abusers in the end you definitely saw that there was a handcuff that was open. Probably his hand was supposed to be there. They even had a bodyguard to keep visitors away
@Nathaniel McGuire That was really smart way to signal help
@@t-wongg3773 foster care providers milking it.
Moral: Always invade the homes of annoying kids
Watch some sensitive person be like “that boy has a disability how dare you”
S P yeah cuz they must have a reason to be annoying or else they gonna get their a$$ wooped
And kidnap then in front of the parents
then make friends with them.
@@epscproductions1373 Are you being satirical or do you not realize that when people abuse you, regardless of genetic similarity, that they are not your parents?
I felt legitimate fear when that absolute unit John came out of his bedroom.
I cant imagine his bellyflop power
me too and lately few movies could do that... even when it was just woman with the knife, it was scary.
Just run he can bearly walk and im not talking about his leg injury
yeah same, but he got downed when kicked in the leg lol
lmao
Moral of story: throw eggs at people if you’re kidnapped
Good morale, I hope it helps me out someday
*you're
I'm not getting eggs anymore.
what if you dont have any, then your screwed
What do i do if they don't have eggs?
Now he doesn’t have any eggs left for his omeleto
Lmao underatee

Okay, that took a dark turn real quickly.
Not really
@@sauviel6296 yeah it was pretty quick
I’m sorta young to understand. So the women kept children as hostage? Can someone explain I thought this was interesting and creepy and even more creepy because I rlly don’t understand.
ReXon from what I know I think that the women kidnapped the kids, that’s why the other kids were tied to the bed and the kid with glasses broke free from the handcuffs to throw eggs for a message for help. That’s what I think is what is happening
Yea that took a reallll dark turn
When he opened the door and I saw the other kids trapped my heart skipped a beat.
This was amazing
Ripened the door?
@@mattrogers5188 He ripened the orange...
why did he open it though, there was no reason to
@@Michael-mh2tw gut feeling probably
I agree ☝️
This hurt my heart. This man who started out so angry turned into the only person who had ever shown this boy, who didn’t know who or how to ask for help, any care. He realized that the boy was scared and he treated him with kindness and respect that the boy didn’t get from others.
Thanks for breaking it down. I was having a hard time deciphering the hidden meaning behind this.
@@Bertrand146 lmao
Yeah, we saw it too. Most people who read youtube comments also saw the video. So you don't have to describe everything. We saw it too.
Exactly
At first it seemed offensive to say that autistic just randomly throw eggs, but to do it as a sign of help makes a lot more sense.
Damn right, he probably knew yelling "Help" out the window would have been useless, throw enough eggs and you're bound to piss someone off!
Evan Koch probably both
Yeah.
Or down syndrome? I'm not sure. Like some of the kids at my school
Down syndrome not autism
Finally, a short that relates to the channel's name. ;)
Omg shut up and take my like

I like how in this story Tony realizes his mistake of yelling at Chris and apologizes by helping Chris out of that house.
ok luigi
Yeah
Tony didn't make a mistake yelling at Chris.
Chris was fortunate enough to be saved by Tonys confidence and bravery.
You literally spoiled it and it has been 5 seconds.
@@afrini why would you read the comments before watching a short film?
Oh, so the kids was throwing the eggs as a signal for help.
If I were there and someone had thrown eggs outside, I would have continued to run
Scary Man same :/
Its happening with other things to, Its psychology, i know Story when boy must steak car And Crash IT to get help from psychology doctor
@@FratelloTheHive that's why not all runners get to rescue kids bound illegally.
@@FratelloTheHive ir ur scary, scare me then
Those “parents” deserved worse then just getting police called on them
That's called revenge, and not justice.
Well im guessing more things happened once the cops arrived, thats usually how getting arrested works
Yeah somebody should throw eggs at em.
@@jdoubleu3510 my mom just bought eggs were u wanna meet up and egg them 😂🥚🥚🥚🥚🥚
wabi sabi the parents were attacking the man because he was trying to save the kids from abuse?
Okay, this is hands down my favorite short on this channel. It’s not too short, and it’s not too long either. The acting is great, and the twist is just awesome. A good decision I made, clicking on this video.
Yeah!! This was excellent!! I swear my heart was pounding the last few minutes!!! Omg!! 😅
hJ4’sTwisted I do not get this story
It’s my favourite too.
The time loop one was my favourite
it was number one or two for me as well.
I honestly thought this was going to end up badly for Tony - a caring mom thinking some pervert was in the house with her son. Guess I was wrong on that one!
Omg!! Same here.
She wasn’t really caring she was a freak just like her husband
i think the wife wasnt even that bad and she didnt really want to hurt Tony her husband was the bad one maybe she even tried to save Tony from him
@@Ok17252 nah man. She called the husband to deal to tony. Just cause she is a she doesn’t absolve her of her actions

Y’all be having the best plot twist’s ever
THis makes me want to cry to think that some kids have to go through this.
You can imagine what is going on around the southern boarder now.
i watched this again, and tears just burst through when they hit the door and ran outside. unbelievable. excellent execution. oh my god this film gives me chills.
If you want to make an omeleto, you have to break a few eggs. Puns aside, this was a great flick.
no chicken were harmed during the making of this film
They weren't chicken ...yet
@@duyvan247 ... the eggs weren't fertilized, so they will never become chickens lol
good one! lol
😂😂😂
Yeah it was a great flick
Plot twist: the teen boy is the one who takes everyone in hostage, he's the one throwing eggs to lure people and tie them.

Good short yet again.
I assumed some spoilt kid was being obnoxious throwing eggs and by the ending I'd wondered if I've ever applied a similar assumption in life and missed some opportunity I never even considered being possible.
First i was also angry at the person throwing eggs , but than later on i was sorry for the kids and realized that the eggs were a sign
James u look like John from the film. Like, what.
I thought the exact same. I knew, because it was Omeleto it likely wouldn't be. But what an incredible ability to challenge our assumptions
also like how the women told the man to just jog on past the kid dropping eggs
I was your 1K like
I love and hate how these short films always end before what could be a very interesting story.
I mean, that's the poing of a short film, present to you the foundations of a good story. What comes after that is the development of characters, the unfold of details and backgrouds, etc. The things that give the whole plot a meaning, And those things can only be achieved in more than 30 mins, to really be able to give all those things sustance. Therefore, only happening in long films or movies, call as you like.
Spartan Fruze same I wish the runner could’ve gotten kidnapped along with the children and then figure out how to escape and then go to the police. That would be a better story IMO
My exact thoughts.. Like where is the justice for these kids..??
It was perfect
I love that it makes you think. You can imagine what the ending is going to be, and that openness allows it to end in a creative style rather than a "happy ending" cliche.
The way Chris and Tony look at each other in the eyes before they both run out of the apartment is incredible.
Now THAT was a twist. What started out as - what I thought - was teenage delinquency/boredom was actually a cry for help. Well done!
It's kind of eerie to think that somewhere in the world this could be actually happening.
It is happening somewhere, right now...that's why we need to keep shining our light!
It still happens .... It's bad when people choose to do nothing . But it's worse when people and law enforcement cover it up and label you as a crazy person ....
Not just could. It is.
FsTs Bandit not that it could. It is happening right now somewhere in this world
Things that are much worse than we could ever think happens or is happening right now.
Is it just me or is this guy like really Tony. Like he just looks like a Tony
thick new york accent, gone to vegas and from that experience the lad is now in the mafia, thats what i think when i hear tony
Loop Canalz lmaoo

@@reqq2075 yes perfect
What if he spells it toughkneigh
Moral of the story: when a kid throws eggs at you break in his house and check all the rooms
Ok
Moral of the story: you should be more aware around situations
I actually expected it to be a kidnap situation from minute one, then my expectations were subverted by the boy being disabled, like he just does it for no reason cause he doesn't know any better, then it turns out it was double trouble and that he is actually kidnapped but couldn't say it even if he wanted to, and now I am left wondering if he just throws eggs or if it is his way of acting out against kidnapping.
My expectations and awareness of reality got subverted twice
Me: sees teenage boy throws egg and I see omeleto
Also me: frantically looking in comments for the joke I was about to make
When life gives you eggs
*Throw em Outta the window*
😂😂😂😂
No, when life gives you eggs make some omeleto
I seriously thought the guy would be dead, and there will be a sad ending.
Me too!! But he is runner in very good shape hopefully!!
Dude same, either that or they would handcuff him too and keep him there since they didn’t seem like the kinda people to kill, just very messed up and torcher instead.
Gandhi that guy wasn’t black
@@BrainznTrainz Them immigrants look all the same to me 😡😡😡
@Necrox IOS No
I worried for Tony, I thought he'd be killed before he help the kiddos! I was relieved of him running out 👏👏👊
This was a good one. And of course he had the Detroit shirt on, that explains why he was tough yet compassionate to people
Sad thing is how much of this actually happens.
geddon81 Ikr.
@Mr FlexTape No he DOES understand what's happening to him and the other kids is wrong.
Samuel Jackson what
I'd be really confused if eggs just started flying at me from above.
The eggs be flying tho
Really? I woulda thunk that a bird just can't hold it in anymore and shat out an egg mid-air....
confusion followed by anger
imagine if he never went inside
THIS NEEDS TO BE A MOVIE
It's_Dustin yes I agree
So “John” doesn’t hear all the commotion and just comes out when his name is called... ok.
My main man John be out here not giving one
Yeah that’s my one complaint with this story. Other than that it’s very well done and outstanding in my opinion
I think he was "challenged" (or whatever PC name you want to give it) too.
He could have still been coming up the stairs??
he is the last resort, the B plan, when there is no hope left xd
I believe this story is based off one I heard like 15 years ago. An arrogant man bought a sports car because he loved showing off materialistic lifestyle. One day he decided to drive it down a neighboorhood to show off to all the parents what they could've had. While speeding past a few parked cars, a brick hurtled out of nowhere, immediately creating a large dent on the hood. The dent was very obvious, and instantly the man was filled with rage. Pulling over, he followed the kid toward his side-yard to yell at him, and saw a young boy crouched next to his brother, who was laying on the ground next to a tree. The brother was bleeding profusely from a large scrape on his leg. Ultimately, the man was able to help them. Humbled, he kept the mark on the care as an ode to that day.

Man, my heart's still beating wild 2 minutes after I finished this...
bruh same
I like that it was a sign of help. You wouldn’t expect someone with a disability to have such an advanced way to signal for rescue
Maybe that he was bored and that it wasn't a signal, nobody knows
Maybe it’s a good thing he didn’t “keep running”
Maybe??
Woman: Get out of my house now!
Me: Lady, your in an apartment.

No matter how many times I rewatch these videos they still hit in such a deep way. Incredible
The foresight of the kid is amazing. It truly displays the genius inside the seemingly mischievious act.
this was absolutely amazing im just wondering if the rest were saved
I think so given that he was calling cops in the end
You bet they were saved! I have tears in my eyes. This was absolutely amazing. Wow💗
Subhash pani l think so
obviously, that's the point
From this couple but not saved from ICE. Next cage stop Arizona.
When life gives you eggs, make an Omeleto film.
Yes
Well said. 😆
If this was a comment on Reddit I would give it a gold award.
His “im sorry” kinda sounds like “he’s coming” if you listen close enough

this is so well written its actually crazy, all the symbolic and stories it tells in just 8 mins is just incredible, super good job guys.

It's an actual reaction from any family members. I haven't even thought something's suspicious. Only until the man looks at the door.

Everything this channel pumps out is truly a masterpiece of both art and beauty, the absolute rawness of the situations displayed doesn’t sugar coat anything; they show us the worlds true problems straightforward
Watching this on my lunch break, my heart is pounding once the woman enters the apartment, Omg! The door slowly opened, and seeing the children chained to that bed made my heart sunk. This guy saved those kids. Thank goodness he didn’t continue running. One of the best ones. Watching it again.
Some kids in a car threw an egg at me at an intersection. I threw a rock threw their window.
Trip D through
Joaquin Lopez no it’s through
Joaquin Lopez Dude Ravioli is talking about the second ‘threw’. It should be ‘through’ not ‘threw’. The first one was already correct.
"threw" is correct as it is the past tense verb. "Through" would be like "I walked through the door" so it is incorrect lol.
“I threw a rock THROUGH their window.”
The "Omelet" im Omeleto finally makes sense
Hosatus lmaooooo
I love that double twist, thank you for turning that a few different ways in my head
He saved them all with those eggs! I wish I could give him a hug, this was frightenly well acted!!

I've seen many movies/series/shorts, so I can see plot twists coming a mile off usually...
but this twist was on another level.
Well done, writer, I applaud you.
Not trying to be weird but I thought the “ dad “ would eat the kids
Wtf why would he do that???
Are you saying that cause he’s fat?
Just like Cronus
Lol same

Too great
Good job! I adore this video so much! so amazing how the guy just senses more and more, putting little pieces together. Intuition is so much vilified these days, it gets so much discouraged in everyday life and then we wonder why so many bad things happen right under our nose... this short movie is just one of the best I have ever seen.
your right, we should always trust our gut because it never lies to u. anyone who says not to is either an idiot or someone who has an ulterior motive
@@melaniejerrils2635 you are right!
i love these short films. god i swear, one second your thinking that the kid is in the wrong, then its like "oh wow didnt see that coming"

I was searching for teenage boy throws man at eggs and found this crap instead. The eggs weren't even that big.
The boy was a genius.
I love how when Tony asks “Who lives with you?” Right has it passes his Mom and Dad the teapot goes off. Truly a sign.
what? I have no idea what you just tried to say.

I was NOT expecting that...well done....well done.
Moral of the story: THROW EGGS OUTSIDE YOUR WINDOW FOR HELP
* throws eggs at you *
*throw egg in the comment section*
The eggs were a call for help. The kids were being held hostage by their “parents” and Chris (The autistic teenager) was trying to get out of his abusive home because he didn’t want to live in the house he was living in so he threw eggs to get attention from a stranger to help him out. Why did he use eggs? He wanted people to invade his house in anger and then realize what was going on and why he did it. The mom was trying to scare the man out of the house just so she could hide what she was doing to her kids. She calls John (The big guy that fights the man) to fight the man and try to get him out of the house (or to make sure he doesn’t rescue the teenager) he fails and gets hardly kicked in the knee. If you were wondering if the rest of the kids were saved or not, they might of because at the end of the video, the man calls the cops so they could investigate the house that he was just in. The cops might of arrested the parents and taken the kids somewhere safe. Hope this makes sense because this is what the story tried explaining. Nice short story film also.
