11 years have passed and this is still one of the best short film ever made. What a MASTERPIECE. I remember being in high school when I first watched this. I didn't understood it that much back then but I kept coming back year after year and when I fully understood the message of the film, I cried. This is just so beautifully done. The message is powerful that even if I watched it so many times it still strikes the same.
I have watch this film also for several years and watch it again today. It brought tears to my eyes because I also hide who I was for 58 years. Lying to myself, but at the same time knowing. At 58 I meet the man of my dreams and we are married. We still live our private lives because we have jobs that deal with the public. My family knows and his many done support us but that OK we have each other.
Been in this situation and it is so incredibly painful to be treated differently/shamefully in public by one you love. I'm glad I chose to end that painful chapter.
If someones not comfortable and knows who they are sexuality wise then they cant be themselves and comit to someone else properly you did well to walk mate hope things better for you now !
I remember when this was first posted. I was just blown away by it. I still am. It's powerful. And the fact that it makes all its points in less than 15 minutes is astounding. Some actors are good - they're half-way convincing, but you don't maybe feel all the ache, the bitterness, the anxiety they're trying to portray. With these guys, you feel it ALL. Or, I do anyway. In other words, they're not acting, they totally become D and Crim. A lesson for us all, even straight people should see this. Gay life is often far from easy, and if you get through it with no pain, you're damned lucky.
I remember seeing this movie 3 years before when I didn't know about the term gay... But what was happening inside of me got reflected very well by movies like these... I am at much better place mentally now... And just had to come back to this masterpiece... And I am quite sure.. will come back to it again.
OMG!!! Amazingly good! I believed both characters and the simple quiet of a home under tension, D's look of pity and sadness when he looked at the angry, uptight Crim. All he wanted from Crim was acceptance of his nature and to stop expressing his self hate in ways that would affect his kids. How many times have we had a fight with our partner, stormed off only to sit in the car, drive aimlessly and and wonder what the hell were we doing! Standing ovation here!
I keep on coming back to this movie and re-watching it over and over. This movie is so intense. It is definitely something I will return to in the future to watch again. . It always gets to me when D says . ."I need you to say yes, I need you to tell me you understand" and when Crim says "Please don't leave me, please don't leave me". One man having to fight to keep his public persona even though it is at odds with his private life and the other person loving his partner but having to stand up for what he believes in even if it means the end of the relationship. Powerful story! Wish more gay films were like this.
Yup I keep watching this movie too....what really gets me is when Crim finally tells D he loves him and D starts sobbing. The way they understand each other is amazing.
An incredible film......making someone understand what it means, to hear hateful words. Making sure not to keep repeating them over and over.........I love coming back to this short film again and again, just to remind myself, that there are men out there just like that, and need to be educated.
I think everyone is missing the incredible job the actors and writers have done here. This piece is MUCH better acted than anything I have seen on network television or the big screen. In my opinion, this piece is should be the gold standard of acting!
Last relationship that I had was similar with this. My ex was keep acting that he was a straight and ignoring all of the facts that he was gay. Same things, job, families and friends were the things that he had to create a boundaries from his sexuality. It wasn’t a toxic relationship yet it was very unhealthy relationship for my mental cause I was fully accepting for who I was and so proud of myself for being gay, but he wasn’t. It’s all over now...
my boyfriend showed my this film and it made me wanna be more public with him, because I actually understood where he came from and how he felt. my family isn't very much affectionate with each other, that's it lol
Incredible!! words can't explain how breathtaking that was. I was hooked on every second of that. my only issue is that it had to end so soon, could have easily been created as a feature film. amazing acting, amazing camera work! JUST BRILLIANT!! hopefully you guys get the opportunity to one day turn that into a feature film... i for one would be lining up to see it, and I'm sure many others would also...
This needs to be in full length! I have now watched everything on your channel, and everything is amazing! Time to make some big videos and get them awards for all of them!
I don’t believe they sorted out the problem but only delayed the inevitable breakup for a short time due to the deeply ‘walk in’ closeted businessman. He may not want to be associated with the more fem aspects of homosexuality but he sleeps with a guy for three years and thinks he’s Bi? The other guy should end it know and move on.
That's been a big political thing. Be hateful and condemning of the life they are secretly leading..even pass legislation to make it worse. Oh what a psychopathic society we live in.
Sally Winston The truth is a lot of homophobic people are Gay themselves but they have this self hatred within themselves and reflect it to others that they feel may be gay to cover there own self conflicting desires. I mean if I was a straight and I met a gay guy I would be totally cool with gay guys because that means more women for me right? 🤔😜👍
I really enjoyed this! It was not only inspiring but was centered around something many of my friends have gone through and overcome. Thank you for the inspirational video.
Literally made me cry at the ending.. Hope one day gays will be accepted heartily here too.. Fed up of being in closet. We also have life. We also r human beings. We too love truly.
Of course you can be accepted by another if you can accept yourself. Learn to love and respect yourself! That is the first step to find the love of your life!
Damn. Everyone one of your videos deserves a standing ovation. You guys are everything a actor stands for.I myself am involed with theater and I haven't seen someone pore as much heart and emotion, and love into their lines since our production of GodSpell. Again I congratulate the actors and the production team for a magnificent short film. I hope you guys feel proud at the fact you can put so much emotion into what you do. You said things I wish I had to courage to tell the girl I love.
The actor portraying Crim is fine AF. I saw this brilliant short, along with 3 other shorties in 4 Moons. Very well written, acted and produced. The chemistry b/t the leads was believable and steamy 🥰
Its amazing how words can destroy a relationship when you have a partner that is living two roles in life, Some of us can put up with it just to keep what they got.
I lived a very closeted life while serving in the Navy, with 4 years with Marines. Most of us did our best to hide, even mask our sexuality. Sometimes that meant saying hateful, hurtful homophobic comments -- actions to go along with the words, too. This was pre "Don't ask, don't tell." It was painful on many levels. I hope things are better for our service men and women.
Thank you for your thoughtful words. Even though there are "laws" protecting men like yourself in modern times, for a certain group of men, remaining closeted seems like the only real option for them. It's a difficult call, even in these modern times we live in.
the message this short film sends os truly important and relevant! Bisexuality exists and you don't have to be homophobic jist to hide your insecurities. This is such a masterpiece.
I'd never heard of Branden or gay short films, but this one is brilliant, the direction, the story, the acting (excellent and genuine, not phony), etc. Loved it
Wow, watched this by chance and loved it! Great short film, nice script, acting, and before I knew it I was so moved that I had a tear running down my cheek. Well done! More like this please!!!
I am very proud to all who were responsible of this short movie, it touches the deepest part of my being, it's wonderful, great and very excellent so far. Sometimes its difficult to admit like what crim's denial, it takes time to accept every single things, like me when the right time came i really don't scared to admit that i am one.
So true, it takes guts to come out. I like that this addresses the confusion that all gay men have felt. We’ve all lived in denial at some point in our life.
Perhaps I'm harsh, but I have no sympathy for someone in the closet and yet abuses other out gay men all to cover up his own insecurities. I would probably be the first to out him to shut him up, and protect others from his abuse.
+Louis Riehm thats the reason y you'd get yo-a** beat. many have personal jobs that aren't as fitting/excepting as others. people r grown and let them be who-ever they wanna see themselves as... lmao
+musicmojo100 Your response is to ALLOW someone to be abusive towards another, all in the name of job security and personal insecurity. Let "grown" people be whoever they want, even if what they want is the reason for another's fears and tears. No! They're not very adult if they use their circumstance as an excuse to express their anger on innocence rather than those responsible. No one, for no reason whatsoever, has the right to inflict their own troubles upon another. And, absolutely yes, I would out anyone who abused me. I say this because it can very close to my doing so a few years back. I did not go through with it because I demanded an apology and I supported him as he cam out to family and friends. Contrary to what is most often depicted of gay men not being able to protect themselves, I can. And, though it was necessary only twice in my experience, I am the one who does the ass beating.
+Louis Riehm you do realize the world is a big place... Move da-hell on if you don't like what you see, hear, or getting in life. You gunna try and change someone else come on now. To put it bluntly: (u can't save no ho) I.E.- can't turn no 'ho' into a house wife. -_-
+musicmojo100 I'm not going to argue with you. You apparently are damaged in the way you understand things. Who says I "don't like what I see, hear, or getting in life"? I'm very happy. I not an abuser, someone you seem to want to defend. If the issue involves me, then of course I will handle as I see fit. "To put it bluntly", maybe you, yourself, are guilty of such acts.
+Louis Riehm Ohhh I thought you meant if you seen a situation like this lmao... Try and out someone who clearly made it clear that he wasn't out and yet he stayed... But you make it sound like the dude was abusing and using this dude, like D didn't know what a rim wanted from the get go! 😳
You know what Lana, I ask myself that same question and have concluded that they just are. That's just the best answer that I can give myself. Anyways have a great day Lana! :-)
This might be the best short film I've ever seen. Had to rewind the last shot.. I've been through this and I've known a lot of people that also did. Yes, it's heartbreaking but when you love someone you'll go through the worst just to try to be with them any way you can. Ugh.. all these gay shorts keep making me think of this one guy that no matter how hard I try I can't get him off my mind. Anyway.. brilliant and moving short film. Love it. 💖
Branden Blinn I just watched this video today i never knew about this channel. But by far the best short movie. I loved the entire concept of acceptance of being what Crim is. D indeed is the show stealer. Loved it guys. This is the first time me watching a gay film and loving it. I would surely watch your contents.
WHEWWWWW. i am so inlove by this beautiful film omg. thank God this film came across my recommendations. good job to whoever wrote and directed this. i love it
OMG!!!! The CUTEST short film ever! Like I just can't deal I LOVE LOVE LOVE this! Please keep posting more things and please if you could like add on to this short film or make another one with them :) love it!
Awesome short movie.The story is wonderful and very very realistic.Who we are behind close doors are indefinite and possibilities are endless but are true thoughts can be covered a lifetime.Great actors and beautifully done.
Brandenblinn.I congratulate you not only for your work on this film that I really like, but also for your official channel. Also, I already followed.Many successes and cordial greetings from CUBA👍🏻👏🏻🎬👬🏻❤🏳🌈
Beautiful short film!! Whether u are gay, no, straight, open or out just be who u are and respect each other..being gay and out is amazing.. much love to everyone!
Cuando un hombre le dice a otro, (en el caso de este corto) "no me abandones y te amo" es la mayor muestra de amor La homofobia es la careta que muchos se ponen, para esconder su homosexualidad, y es una lástima, porque nadie les pide que lo declaren, sino, aceptarse.
Me encantó la fuerza de las convicciones de D. Pese a su amor estuvo dispuesto a perderlo por tratar de conservar el respeto por todas las personas. Creo que logró que su pareja fuese una mejor persona y un mejor ejemplo para sus hijos. Hermosa historia ❤❤❤
Loved this! Great story, thank you Branden for not making everything sugar coated and showing both sides of the coin. Lee Amir-Cohen NAILED this role...where he had to go to get to these emotions is not easy. Very good actor. Also loved your Without a Mom.
Omg, I've watched this a few times and every single time I think the same thing. It doesn't take away from the beauty of the scene, but it kills the kiss for me.
I for one loved this short film I'm Openly gay and I love myself and I'm happy what's not right is Homophobia and the racists slurs to us gay people we are human and we deserve respect like every one else
Classic gay short film. I remember this fondly. Good acting and food for thought as well. Handsome actors ;) I wonder if the character of Crim would really hold to his words...his mouth is like a loose cannon. He knows how lonely the world can be and he needs D more than anyone on his side.
Cada ves que veo esto me hace llorar. Porque también soy gay, y en mi país existe tanta homofobia, y es duro lidiar con eso, yo también añoro el día en que podamos coexistir con los demás, como gente que solo desea amar.
No solo es horrible vivir en un país homofóbico pero también es peor ser parte de una "comunidad" que habla de "amor" "diversidad" pero está llena de toxicidad y promiscuidad dónde te usan y cuando se aburren después de una noche te tiran al tacho.
Movie is great outside of one moment. When Krim says he's bi, and the following conversation. It makes some sense for the self-hating homophobe to say this, and hell I almost believe he is bi, he had a wife. Either way, when D responds "Where's the girl?" it is bullshit. If the issue was whether he is bi or gay, then asking krim to prove his sexuality is no way to argue. Are you gay if you are still a virgin? yes. So why do bi ppl have to prove themselves? Besides, the issue isn't his sexuality, it is his disrespect for his boyfriend and his homophobia. Please don't conflate identifying as bi with being closeted or homophobic please. It hurts us all.
its is often the case in intense emotional moments that we say things that are neither logical nor fact...as is the case here. Although Crim may remain married with a wife and kids he has been living with and sexually engaged with D the entire time. There hasn't been another woman, or a girl or anyone else for that matter in their relationship...just the two of them and this is what D. is alluding to. Not so much that Crim hasn't had women but the fact that D. hasn't...nor has he ever wanted to.
I know this is 7 months later but I think D was saying that he himself wasnt bi because Crim told him that he was bi as well when he knew he wasn't. D was saying where was his own girl trying to prove to Crim that he (D) is gay not bi.
I think Dean was referring to his boyfriend forcing the "bi"-title on him even though he (Dean) is gay and with "Wheres the girl?" he means, that there never was a girl in his life and never will be, so he is not bi. After all he said "No, youre bi" even though Dean said multiple times that he was just gay.
it´s beatifull, but please why dont you do it longer, think this, you´ll capture our attention more and more time, besides the end is very pretty, but you left us wanting a second part.
This movie is suuper sad but so important. Abusive relationships like this are so hard to get out of and yet, so easy to fall back into. It’s tragic but real and so well done here
Congratulations on a beautifully made film. Straight people, women AND men, have a duty to stand up for gay rights. So-called 'real men' can never be real men as long as they retain this fear of gay men. Back in the day, I wore a big badge which stated Gay Liberation is Our Liberation'. Many people were startled but it gave them food for thought. Best Wishes from Cape Town, SA
Hey Chris, believe it or not, the producers or writers, or whatever you call them, posted on here a while back about what you are talking about, and said that they took that version down and put up this one instead for some reason, they posted a video about their reasoning. I did get to see the uncut version for a while, and yes, it's better than this one. Gosh I wish I had downloaded it when I had a chance, oh well, this is the next best thing, I still think it is a great short movie. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news dude. Anyways have a great day!
UA-cam will age restrict anything with swearing and nudity. Because we feel the message of this film is important to all ages, especially those who are just coming to terms with their own truths, we modified the film for EVERYONE. We opted to not restrict it to the whole for the fancy of the few. We're sorry that you are offended by this, you're welcome to go to our pay-per-view channel where, for a nominal fee you can view the film in its entirely without bleeps and cuts.
I'm not offended by censoring in the slightest, I just think it ruined the poignancy of the film a little however I'll definitely check out the full versions. Well done.
In my opinion, the issue with the guy was not that he was secretly gay- everyone is entitled to his own way of telling people or not telling people because that is his business. The bad thing being addressed is his hostility towards others and being disrespectful with violent tendencies. Whether you are in the closet or not, the least that you could do is to be kind to others, regardless of who they identify to be.
Yeah that's what I got out of it too. For me, this is a sad story, not a happy one that they came to another agreement to have to lie for it to keep working for them. And the homophobic remarks are just the symptom of the lying.
touches my heart.....and calls out the evils of "social conditioning" and the unfairness of its results....But I believe love can conquer that ..and this short film validates my belief and gives us hope...I need you to say YES .!
STANDING OVATION BRAVO I LOVE AND ADORE THIS FILM ITS PERFECT. PLZ DONT STOP MAKING FILMS LIKE THESE WE NEED MORE HAPPY ENDING FILMS TOO MANY SAD AND DEPRESSING GAY MOVIES IS BEEN MADE AS IF WE ARE NOT MENT TO BE HAPPY. I WOULD SO LOVE TO SEE A GAY FAIRTAIL MOVIE. THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX AND BE CREATIVE THANK YOU.
I just watched a gay movie called “gewoom virehene” something like that, not really sure how it’s spelt, but it means boy love ? (I’ll edit it when I get the correct spelling) and the movie was really good, the guys where hot (one of them was soooooo beautiful) and they had a happy ending. And also a couple of years ago I watched another gay film about these two dudes from different countries (Arabic countries) and one of them is facing difficulties in his country and the other one who is wealthy snuggles him to like France and they met and live happily ever after (I can’t remember the name but if you know tell me) that film was beautiful and the scenes where like amazing. Also if you want another happy ending gay couple watch Spartacus !! But yeah you right majority of Gay films and movies have sad ending like dude gay people have happy endings too
Been there. Someone I was with would be all over me while no one was around, but when people were around I got ignored, treated like a 2nd class citizen, and then gaslighted when I went my own way.
Great film to look up to! Being gay is not a mistake, it's a choice and people should accept that. We all have the right to live what we stand for. Love has no standards nor a basis, no gender bias.
***** Well at least you have arguments to defend your opinion (which is good) but I still think it's wrong to call homosexuality a "choice" because of the following reasons: - you're using one of the terms that always comes among homophobic people (it's like using the word "faggot" to me); - preference is definitely not a choice, you didn't choose to prefer chocolate rather than vanilla, or the color blue rather than red. - if it was a choice, I think there would be no gays on this planet, regarding how complicated being gay can be! (And I speak as a Frenchman with great parents, family and friends).
Very interesting topic, beautifully played and filmed. It is not easy to accept oneself, everyone has his own bagage/story. I was wondering if a sequal would come? Crim is keeping his promess to D, but D meets unattentionly a new man, who is out and proud ...
11 years have passed and this is still one of the best short film ever made. What a MASTERPIECE. I remember being in high school when I first watched this.

Me to; I would lov for a guy to say those words to me and mean it...
But I hheard "I love your dick..." is that correct?
He said I lOVE your D
Oh please. There was no love involved in this relationship, it was all because that guy wanted sex.

The way they sorted the problem quietly without drama. I love that.❤️
I don’t believe they sorted out the problem but only delayed the inevitable breakup for a short time due to the deeply ‘walk in’ closeted businessman. He may not want to be associated with the more fem aspects of homosexuality but he sleeps with a guy for three years and thinks he’s Bi? The other guy should end it know and move on.
That was so good. That was so heartbreaking. I can’t imagine how many guys go through that. Well done and beautifully shot.
A homophobic turns out to be gay....irony in its finest hour!
*laughs evilly*
That's been a big political thing. Be hateful and condemning of the life they are secretly leading..even pass legislation to make it worse. Oh what a psychopathic society we live in.

Of course you can be accepted by another if you can accept yourself. Learn to love and respect yourself! That is the first step to find the love of your life!
This film is straight to the heart of the matter. The hard fact that you the love for someone ,out weight the loss of a good friend.

And apparently D has the master bedroom while Crim has the maids quarters

I lived a very closeted life while serving in the Navy, with 4 years with Marines. Most of us did our best to hide, even mask our sexuality. Sometimes that meant saying hateful, hurtful homophobic comments -- actions to go along with the words, too. This was pre "Don't ask, don't tell." It was painful on many levels. I hope things are better for our service men and women.
Thank you for your thoughtful words. Even though there are "laws" protecting men like yourself in modern times, for a certain group of men, remaining closeted seems like the only real option for them. It's a difficult call, even in these modern times we live in.
😢😢
the message this short film sends os truly important and relevant! Bisexuality exists and you don't have to be homophobic jist to hide your insecurities. This is such a masterpiece.
😮😮😮😮😮😱
wow. The silences in this movie are spectacular! Great job, great message
M
"Dinner was really good" *takes shirt off* like wtf?
Time to hot dinner
Well he wanted to sleep comfy
Now it's time for dessert lol
That's my bf do, this movie made me miss him while fucking me like an animal
Because Crim knew he fucked up and was trying to smooth things over by trying to brush it under the carpet and pretend it didn't happen.
I'd never heard of Branden or gay short films, but this one is brilliant, the direction, the story, the acting (excellent and genuine, not phony), etc. Loved it
Wow, watched this by chance and loved it! Great short film, nice script, acting, and before I knew it I was so moved that I had a tear running down my cheek. Well done! More like this please!!!
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
What’s a excellent short film!!! I’ve seen this one before on HERE tv. A powerful message that most of us have lived through.
"Please don't leave me" noooooo my heart
I started to cry when he said that

Ya i feel you
I am very proud to all who were responsible of this short movie, it touches the deepest part of my being, it's wonderful, great and very excellent so far. Sometimes its difficult to admit like what crim's denial, it takes time to accept every single things, like me when the right time came i really don't scared to admit that i am one.
Ver. Filme. Do Justin. Bibet
So true, it takes guts to come out. I like that this addresses the confusion that all gay men have felt. We’ve all lived in denial at some point in our life.
Perhaps I'm harsh, but I have no sympathy for someone in the closet and yet abuses other out gay men all to cover up his own insecurities. I would probably be the first to out him to shut him up, and protect others from his abuse.
+Louis Riehm thats the reason y you'd get yo-a** beat. many have personal jobs that aren't as fitting/excepting as others. people r grown and let them be who-ever they wanna see themselves as... lmao
+musicmojo100 Your response is to ALLOW someone to be abusive towards another, all in the name of job security and personal insecurity. Let "grown" people be whoever they want, even if what they want is the reason for another's fears and tears. No! They're not very adult if they use their circumstance as an excuse to express their anger on innocence rather than those responsible. No one, for no reason whatsoever, has the right to inflict their own troubles upon another. And, absolutely yes, I would out anyone who abused me. I say this because it can very close to my doing so a few years back. I did not go through with it because I demanded an apology and I supported him as he cam out to family and friends. Contrary to what is most often depicted of gay men not being able to protect themselves, I can. And, though it was necessary only twice in my experience, I am the one who does the ass beating.
+Louis Riehm you do realize the world is a big place... Move da-hell on if you don't like what you see, hear, or getting in life. You gunna try and change someone else come on now. To put it bluntly: (u can't save no ho) I.E.- can't turn no 'ho' into a house wife. -_-
+musicmojo100 I'm not going to argue with you. You apparently are damaged in the way you understand things. Who says I "don't like what I see, hear, or getting in life"? I'm very happy. I not an abuser, someone you seem to want to defend. If the issue involves me, then of course I will handle as I see fit. "To put it bluntly", maybe you, yourself, are guilty of such acts.
+Louis Riehm Ohhh I thought you meant if you seen a situation like this lmao... Try and out someone who clearly made it clear that he wasn't out and yet he stayed... But you make it sound like the dude was abusing and using this dude, like D didn't know what a rim wanted from the get go! 😳
LOVED IT! Happens more than some of you realize!
Watched this like 75 million times... SHouldve been a movie, a show? AM I reaching? I love this!
you're not reaching, it would be amazing as full length movie
why are gays so hot?!!
maybe because they have sex a lot or workout to make themselves attractive
Bernhard Prziwara lol having sex allot doesnt make you good looking
You know what Lana, I ask myself that same question and have concluded that they just are. That's just the best answer that I can give myself. Anyways have a great day Lana! :-)
WE like the way they look because they have a female gene and that gives them gentle look. I dunno, maybe.
Lana Beats Oh yes. We are so hot!!!!!!
I'm proud of you for getting yourself out of that toxic relationship❤
This might be the best short film I've ever seen. Had to rewind the last shot.. I've been through this and I've known a lot of people that also did. Yes, it's heartbreaking but when you love someone you'll go through the worst just to try to be with them any way you can. Ugh.. all these gay shorts keep making me think of this one guy that no matter how hard I try I can't get him off my mind. Anyway.. brilliant and moving short film. Love it. 💖
Thank you so much for your kind words and validation
Branden Blinn I just watched this video today i never knew about this channel. But by far the best short movie. I loved the entire concept of acceptance of being what Crim is. D indeed is the show stealer. Loved it guys. This is the first time me watching a gay film and loving it. I would surely watch your contents.
Again, thank you!!
I will keep coming back to this film !! Such a master piece
That was really good, I wanted it to be longer.
This little film is so well written and acted. Bravo!!!!
I'm in a similar situation with this one for almost two years and it wasn't easy to hold back tears watching this movie
Thank you for sharing. There's a contingent of gay men that really don't understand the complexities of this type of situation. Good luck with it all!
@@brandenblinn @brandenblinn You're so cute for answer me, I wasn't expecting this. Thank you very much :)
WHEWWWWW. i am so inlove by this beautiful film omg. thank God this film came across my recommendations. good job to whoever wrote and directed this. i love it
Thanks for watching
OMG!!!! The CUTEST short film ever! Like I just can't deal I LOVE LOVE LOVE this! Please keep posting more things and please if you could like add on to this short film or make another one with them :) love it!
I love you Jan
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I understand this from personal experience. It hurts so much when the man you love acts straight and makes homophobic comments around you.
Well said ❤
Awesome short movie.The story is wonderful and very very realistic.Who we are behind close doors are indefinite and possibilities are endless but are true thoughts can be covered a lifetime.Great actors and beautifully done.

Hi... how are you?
Brandenblinn.I congratulate you not only for your work on this film that I really like, but also for your official channel. Also, I already followed.Many successes and cordial greetings from CUBA👍🏻👏🏻🎬👬🏻❤🏳🌈
Wow, thank you!
Beautiful short film!! Whether u are gay, no, straight, open or out just be who u are and respect each other..being gay and out is amazing.. much love to everyone!
🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡💙
so they censor the word "fuck," but not a slur that's been used to dehumanize queer people for centuries
Sebastian Martin I was thinking the same thing
So true...and as if you don't hear enough "fuck" and "shit" in other heterosexual videos. Recently UA-cam is highly homophobic.
globalman I agree. Even though I’m an American who thinks very globally. It isn’t usamericans though it is just american. 🙃
Cuando un hombre le dice a otro, (en el caso de este corto) "no me abandones y te amo" es la mayor muestra de amor
La homofobia es la careta que muchos se ponen, para esconder su homosexualidad, y es una lástima, porque nadie les pide que lo declaren, sino, aceptarse.

Gracias a la vida. A si nacimos y unos no aceptan como nacimos
great acting but i've never laughed so hard either, bruh "trying to have as much sex with me as you possibly can." i'm dead man.
9:59 "Zack, that's gay."
"Jared, we've been dating..."
Amazing short film and beautiful music especially at the end
I've seen this more times than I can count and I still love it more and more
Me encantó la fuerza de las convicciones de D. Pese a su amor estuvo dispuesto a perderlo por tratar de conservar el respeto por todas las personas. Creo que logró que su pareja fuese una mejor persona y un mejor ejemplo para sus hijos. Hermosa historia ❤❤❤
Loved this! Great story, thank you Branden for not making everything sugar coated and showing both sides of the coin. Lee Amir-Cohen NAILED this role...where he had to go to get to these emotions is not easy. Very good actor. Also loved your Without a Mom.
This needs to be in a full-length film.
they got the driest kiss ever , but I love the short film
Omg, I've watched this a few times and every single time I think the same thing. It doesn't take away from the beauty of the scene, but it kills the kiss for me.
+Brando Rambo Dry lips I guess ;D
It's not a dry kiss it's kinda like how a cat shows love
I for one loved this short film I'm Openly gay and I love myself and I'm happy what's not right is Homophobia and the racists slurs to us gay people we are human and we deserve respect like every one else
They should make a TV series out of this. Use the same actors too. This was really good. I wanted to see what happened next. C’mon Netflix!
really, write them, start a campaign
I don't know how many time I saw this films but every time its touch my heart thanks for sharing this amazing beautiful film.
+Carlos Luna Thank you Carlos!
+brandenblinn your welcome my dear

it was nice
Happpppppppppppppyi çyintre@@mitrandhir69
My gosh, this movie is beyond great, the acting, the plot, the dialogues, just amazing
Classic gay short film. I remember this fondly. Good acting and food for thought as well. Handsome actors ;) I wonder if the character of Crim would really hold to his words...his mouth is like a loose cannon. He knows how lonely the world can be and he needs D more than anyone on his side.
Cada ves que veo esto me hace llorar. Porque también soy gay, y en mi país existe tanta homofobia, y es duro lidiar con eso, yo también añoro el día en que podamos coexistir con los demás, como gente que solo desea amar.
De donde eres?
Cómo vas ahora?
No solo es horrible vivir en un país homofóbico pero también es peor ser parte de una "comunidad" que habla de "amor" "diversidad" pero está llena de toxicidad y promiscuidad dónde te usan y cuando se aburren después de una noche te tiran al tacho.
Movie is great outside of one moment. When Krim says he's bi, and the following conversation. It makes some sense for the self-hating homophobe to say this, and hell I almost believe he is bi, he had a wife. Either way, when D responds "Where's the girl?" it is bullshit. If the issue was whether he is bi or gay, then asking krim to prove his sexuality is no way to argue. Are you gay if you are still a virgin? yes. So why do bi ppl have to prove themselves? Besides, the issue isn't his sexuality, it is his disrespect for his boyfriend and his homophobia. Please don't conflate identifying as bi with being closeted or homophobic please. It hurts us all.
its is often the case in intense emotional moments that we say things that are neither logical nor fact...as is the case here. Although Crim may remain married with a wife and kids he has been living with and sexually engaged with D the entire time. There hasn't been another woman, or a girl or anyone else for that matter in their relationship...just the two of them and this is what D. is alluding to. Not so much that Crim hasn't had women but the fact that D. hasn't...nor has he ever wanted to.
I know this is 7 months later but I think D was saying that he himself wasnt bi because Crim told him that he was bi as well when he knew he wasn't. D was saying where was his own girl trying to prove to Crim that he (D) is gay not bi.
I think Dean was referring to his boyfriend forcing the "bi"-title on him even though he (Dean) is gay and with "Wheres the girl?" he means, that there never was a girl in his life and never will be, so he is not bi. After all he said "No, youre bi" even though Dean said multiple times that he was just gay.
it´s beatifull, but please why dont you do it longer, think this, you´ll capture our attention more and more time, besides the end is very pretty, but you left us wanting a second part.
This movie is suuper sad but so important. Abusive relationships like this are so hard to get out of and yet, so easy to fall back into. It’s tragic but real and so well done here
Congratulations on a beautifully made film. Straight people, women AND men, have a duty to stand up for gay rights. So-called 'real men' can never be real men as long as they retain this fear of gay men. Back in the day, I wore a big badge which stated Gay Liberation is Our Liberation'. Many people were startled but it gave them food for thought. Best Wishes from Cape Town, SA
Thank you!
Does anyone know where I can watch the uncensored version? Sometimes the "fucks" and "shits" just make the situation more intense and believable...
Hey Chris, believe it or not, the producers or writers, or whatever you call them, posted on here a while back about what you are talking about, and said that they took that version down and put up this one instead for some reason, they posted a video about their reasoning. I did get to see the uncut version for a while, and yes, it's better than this one. Gosh I wish I had downloaded it when I had a chance, oh well, this is the next best thing, I still think it is a great short movie. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news dude. Anyways have a great day!
Was the bad language censoring really necessary? Kind of ruined it for me...
UA-cam will age restrict anything with swearing and nudity. Because we feel the message of this film is important to all ages, especially those who are just coming to terms with their own truths, we modified the film for EVERYONE. We opted to not restrict it to the whole for the fancy of the few. We're sorry that you are offended by this, you're welcome to go to our pay-per-view channel where, for a nominal fee you can view the film in its entirely without bleeps and cuts.
I'm not offended by censoring in the slightest, I just think it ruined the poignancy of the film a little however I'll definitely check out the full versions. Well done.
brandenblinn It was a smart script and should be expanded into a feature. Good job.
It's not like little kids don't know what the censor stand for...its all pointless if u ask me
@Посольство Россия no prob (;
In my opinion, the issue with the guy was not that he was secretly gay- everyone is entitled to his own way of telling people or not telling people because that is his business. The bad thing being addressed is his hostility towards others and being disrespectful with violent tendencies. Whether you are in the closet or not, the least that you could do is to be kind to others, regardless of who they identify to be.
Yeah that's what I got out of it too. For me, this is a sad story, not a happy one that they came to another agreement to have to lie for it to keep working for them. And the homophobic remarks are just the symptom of the lying.
touches my heart.....and calls out the evils of "social conditioning" and the unfairness of its results....But I believe love can conquer that ..and this short film validates my belief and gives us hope...I need you to say YES .!
I revisit this short film often. Always wondered whatever happened to these characters? Truly a good film Mr. Blinn!
Thank you David!
@@brandenblinn you are than welcome! Any chance of a short film about older gay men? We are still pretty much full of life even though over 50 :)
STANDING OVATION BRAVO I LOVE AND ADORE THIS FILM ITS PERFECT. PLZ DONT STOP MAKING FILMS LIKE THESE WE NEED MORE HAPPY ENDING FILMS TOO MANY SAD AND DEPRESSING GAY MOVIES IS BEEN MADE AS IF WE ARE NOT MENT TO BE HAPPY. I WOULD SO LOVE TO SEE A GAY FAIRTAIL MOVIE. THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX AND BE CREATIVE THANK YOU.
Fairytail the anime?
I just watched a gay movie called “gewoom virehene” something like that, not really sure how it’s spelt, but it means boy love ? (I’ll edit it when I get the correct spelling) and the movie was really good, the guys where hot (one of them was soooooo beautiful) and they had a happy ending. And also a couple of years ago I watched another gay film about these two dudes from different countries (Arabic countries) and one of them is facing difficulties in his country and the other one who is wealthy snuggles him to like France and they met and live happily ever after (I can’t remember the name but if you know tell me) that film was beautiful and the scenes where like amazing. Also if you want another happy ending gay couple watch Spartacus !! But yeah you right majority of Gay films and movies have sad ending like dude gay people have happy endings too
Touching story about hating the fact that you’re gay and letting it bleed over into your good relationship. 😱
They make a nice couple:) Its sad guys have to hide who they really are!!!!
Been there. Someone I was with would be all over me while no one was around, but when people were around I got ignored, treated like a 2nd class citizen, and then gaslighted when I went my own way.
IDK why I laughed so hard when he said "We're done"
"YOU'RE DONE, YOU'RE DONE"
Great film to look up to! Being gay is not a mistake, it's a choice and people should accept that. We all have the right to live what we stand for. Love has no standards nor a basis, no gender bias.
I really don't think it is a CHOICE!!!! (nor a mistake).
***** Well at least you have arguments to defend your opinion (which is good) but I still think it's wrong to call homosexuality a "choice" because of the following reasons:
- you're using one of the terms that always comes among homophobic people (it's like using the word "faggot" to me);
- preference is definitely not a choice, you didn't choose to prefer chocolate rather than vanilla, or the color blue rather than red.
- if it was a choice, I think there would be no gays on this planet, regarding how complicated being gay can be! (And I speak as a Frenchman with great parents, family and friends).
好想找个人来教我学英文
他们在讲当个同性恋不是一个选择或错误
It's NOT a choice. LOL!
Great episode of a couple, if there still feelings between them, only through love and intelligence can such negativity be overcome.
This is such a piece of art,so compelling for some reason and D is breathtaking 💜
another great short bei BB: hot topic+excellent way of telling the story+good acting+great camera ... well done again mate!!
thank you!!!
my pleasure! :)
Very interesting topic, beautifully played and filmed. It is not easy to accept oneself, everyone has his own bagage/story. I was wondering if a sequal would come? Crim is keeping his promess to D, but D meets unattentionly a new man, who is out and proud ...
What a great idea!
I love this!❤️ This is one of my favorite gay short films! Actors are exceptional as well as the storyline and direction of the film great job!😁👍
Thank you so much!!
Simply mind blowing!! and hands down to Lee-Amir Cohen's acting!! So Powerful! Thanks a ton for sharing!
Krem has a scar from cleft lip and I love it ❤️
He is for sure sexy and the cleft lip make him even more so....
he walked off the court alone. That says it all.
The biggest bully at school used to slap me around. Found him 7 years later in a gay bath house!
