I'm sorry but did anyone one else die when he said "sometimes I eat Reece's because I hate my self" that killed me😂that so awful and relatable 😂
Thats so Roro SAME😂😂
Omg no not out loud but yes inside and my chest yelled at me
Thats so Roro same 😂😂😂😂
That comment was consistent with his feelings. He ate the Reeces because he hated himself; he was boyfriends with Adam because he hated himself. You are right; that is awful but there are others who behave the same way.
I think that this is probably one of the best short films I've ever watched.It had meaning and it was emotional.It was amazing.
Thank you so much! :)
HyltonProductions This hit so close to home. As a Gay man myself, these are very real problems, and I find this to honestly be a way to learn about myself.
I like this short film I like to be have boyfriend

This was absolutely beautiful and I almost cried
My analysis:
I see it as though both of them are hurting in different ways. Adam is struggling with his homosexuality. He doesn’t want to look at Lance during sex, he says he doesn’t know what he’s doing, etc.
Lance is struggling with self love. He even says he eats Reese’s pieces because he hates himself. He’s so desperate to be with someone because he doesn’t want to be alone. This causes his to look past Adams behavior.
Obviously, it’s fucked up that Adam doesn’t tell Lance how he felt before displaying it in an art show. However, Lance comes to terms with his problems because of it.
At the end, he dances with himself, which is a symbol for him finally loving and accepting who he is.
Wot caused all of this
Thank you for being able to put into words what I was thinking and feeling about this brilliant short film. ❤
This is just one of the best gay short movies I have ever seen
Thank you so much!! :)))
Yep- well made and excellent acting.. Lots of gay movies are well intentioned but have crappy acting. I believed what these guys said.
love yourself before go In a relationship, this has quite an impact nice.
Bravo! This was absolutely a pleasure to watch! How you transitioned from one scene into another was spot on. You've made me look back at some my relationships and realize however much I thought I knew someone, I still never knew their deeper inner feelings. Thank you for sharing! Seriously a job well done!
PoserKilledTheScene A “PLEASURE” to watch
wow! at first i thought adam was the one who didnt love himself, and then lance 'hugged himself' and it blew my mind and everything clicked haha. great film
Who else here isn't gay but still enjoyed the film? I know I did
Yesss😍🤣😂😂
Me😂
This was really good. Both script and acting were impressive. I felt myself in the character of the protagonist. it's so topical of the modern gay man. very well done!
ever since I watched this short film I haven't been able to get it out of my head. I watched this late 2017 and showed it to almost everyone I knew. But something I didn't realize watching this before is the fact that they both didn't actually want to be with each other. They wanted to feel loved the way they felt like they had to be.
I've spent so long looking for this film again that watching it all over has given me a new perspective on how I treat myself in life. I relate to Lance and Adam in many different ways...This short Film has not only ripped me apart once but has done it again
Your comment on that they really didn't love the other, but wanted to feel loved a certain way was both insightful and helped me to understand and appreciate the film more. Thank you.
I'm a gay man of 63 and been out for a long time. Your film was powerful in telling the emotional states of being in both men. The artist in a new world that looks the same but he is unsure and still learning about himself. The subject himself so assured, at least on the outset, so sure he knows the artist's mind and yet he doesn't and needs to step back. He's so quick to doubt the artist, too impatient. He becomes very frustrated and the light goes off and he sees the root of his frustration is not the artist but himself. When he's able to accept "self' and let self be, then real honesty and joy can exist. This was my take on it and I have not seen this in a gay movie before. This deserves a large audience Chad Hylton! Bravo Sir!
When you've just seen your life story in 26min and 57 seconds! This will resonate with ALOT out there. Thank you. One of the best short stories I have had the pleasure to watch.
very very good shortfilm! Love it, love the actors, the story, the moment he understands in front of the drawings...😢

"sometimes I eat recess pieces cause I hate myself!" 😂😂 OMG! I RELATEEE. I LOVE THIS! It was such a good film ugh good setting,characters,acting,plot AAHH ❤❤❤
I just watched my past relationships flash in front of my eyes and for that I'm forever grateful that I've found solace and peace
Awesome message. The old saying is you can’t love someone else unless you first love yourself. It’s not true. You can. But it’s not anyone else’s job to love you. It’s yours. When someone else loves you, it’s a gift. It shouldn’t be something you lack and need, but something extra that you love receiving.
Oh.....if you say I love you.....and they reply with thank you......that's a BAD sign!
Straight to No.1 in a lifetime of watching short gay films. Most astounding writing. And the rest. I'm as speechless as I was after reading "Call me by your name" a few months ago. As Gloria sang, I will subscribe.
PS: thank you for the dedication.
Calvin Corvidian I need the Call me by your name trailer to come out now
Wow, this is definitely one of the best short films, if not the best, that I have ever seen. The mark of a true and incredibly talented artist. I can tell that you are going to go far in you career and I suspect that you will be up there with the rest of the Oscar winners one day. I'm an actor and I hope to get to work with great writers and directors like yourself throughout my career. Great Job!
This short movie is a smart, creative and attractive way to tell a story that most people in love -regardless of their sexual orientation- have experienced. Great beginning, great end, great climax. Thank you, Hylton Productions!
I've watched this multiple times over the years and it reflects something that I fear most. My mental health and fear of loneliness will affect my relationships so badly, that it's not even worth the pain. I don't want to be the cause of someone else's pain or make them feel trapped because I'm so fucked in the head. I find myself needing to just, get comfortable with being lonely because that's all you'll ever be.
You can be lonely if that's where you need to be but you are loved and always will be ❤
Definitely the best and most relatable short film I've ever seen. The actors were amazing and the direction was wonderful. Even in the end love how they emphasised the "you" in the "dedicated to you". Best way of summarizing an amazing movie. Thank you for sharing.
if i could only just hug my self tightly like what he does...whenever i want ...😭😭😭
This was brilliant. It had so much meaning and used a perspective that highlights so much of the character's individual vs self conflict intertwined with the presentation of conscience- while showing every piece of memory tied to a wave of emotions. This was beautiful in such an artistic way that captured the smallest details up front when the audience finally saw the truth behind the Art Exhibition pieces- at the same time the main character did. I loved that it addressed human emotion, and a viewpoint on dysfunctional relationships, along with its small spotlight on mental health and internal conflict.
This has to be one of my favorite short films and I will be definitely recommending it. Well done.
this made me cry. these actors are so talented. you are such a talented filmmaker. omygod.
so im back, 2 years later, because i need to hear this lesson again. currently trying to find self love and acceptance while in a loving relationship; it’s hard, and it’s not the same as the film, but i just had to watch this again because of how much it touched me, made me cry, and inspired me the first time i watched it.
I've seen like 20 of short films tonight and half of the guy's name was Adam
Question is, how frequent was the 'Adam and Steve' pun?
I've watched like 5 of these short films and you don't know how much better I feel about myself and this one teaches to love myself regardless of how I always thought being gay or bi was wrong. To embrace it and know your perfect in your own little way. I let beliefs and other people's opinions stop me from loving myself and loving the one I like more than just a friend. To whoever contributed to making this, thank you from the bottom of a broken but healing heart. I hope this film touches more people than just me.
Loved the story line and the acting even more ! And the guy playing lance , thumbs up man 👍, pure awesomeness . Perfect song choice
shobiya murugan Thank ya!
last scene reminds me lorde's song liability ♥ it was so beautiful.
Something about this i come back to year after year. Outside of the songs!
the guy who plays lance really looks like the masculine of emmy rossum, it's crazy
random thoughts holy shit you're right
george omg this is accurate
yeah I was shook of my own discovery
wow , i like lance so much ,he's an amazing actor.
Incredible acting good job 👏🏼
I love this ❤️
SNICKER FUCKING DOODLE 😂😂😂😂😂 I LOST MY SHIT THERE
Beef Jerky SAMEEEE
Beef Jerky samee😂😂
That entire part was fucking beautiful
Lance ultimately is the archetype of so many modern gay men...
He seeks love from other people to confirm his sense of true worth
But the people he fell for also are unsure in themselves the way he is
He hates a part of himself
He is rejected by people he loves
But he also rejects himself
It's a vicious cycle which feels impossible to escape.
Thats so true! A circle you cant get out
This is a wonderful short film! So deep in content and very emotional. Great acting by these two. I enjoyed it so much.
This is the absolute BEST short I have ever seen. Relatable in every way even outside the community. WOW. Love yourself first before you can learn to love anybody the right way. Second place would be Heavy Weight last scene.
Finally, a real short movie! Not an excerpt from a longer movie! It had a beginning, middle and end. The acting was great ! It held my interest the whole time and the theme of the movie is what everyone can relate to. Well done!
Oh my god I'm crying. I relate a lot to Lance. Having that negative inner voice, that anxiety and hating yourself for it. Turning a blind eye to your own problems and pretending shits okay when it's not. Because it's easier to ignore problems than to face them. I feel that. I'm like that every day. I have to take tiny white pills to keep me from hurting myself. It's just so complex and emotional and I love this film. I love it.
I loved this!! The emotions you guys portrayed were so gutteral and real..I was swearing at the computer at points...LOL...reminds me of how intensely I am in love now and am separated from him. I especially liked the "toxic self" dialogue Lance has with his "negative, critical self." WOW I can relate!!!
this is hands down the best short film ive seen. the emotion and great acting had me locked. storyline/concept incredibly gripping. outstanding job
this is gay......and i absolutely love it
also is it weird i ship lance and adam?
I watched this film a few years ago, and I remember really liking it, but nothing else... I have now just finished rewatching it for the first time ever since and I'm almost crying, because this time the meaning of the film really resonated with me :')
I cannot function anymore....this was so amazing and I laughed and cried and made "awe" noises at some of the amazing cheesy flirting....ugh this was fucking amazing and beautiful
Excellent short film, very emotional, congrats!

Well done! I loved the concept of talking to your other self. Good script, strong actors, good production values, good sound track. Definitely worth watching.
"Sometimes I eat Reese's pieces because I hate myself." ME
This film was just a rollercoaster. Great work.
Brilliant..transcendental...imaginative! This film goes beyond the concept of gay love and commitments and touches right where it is supposed to touch - our soul! Loving someone doesn't really mean hating yourself..or falling for someone who tries to figure himself through you.
This short story also indicates how one should not forget who they are and be aware of choosing where to invest their perfectly perfect emotions. So beautifully made that I find it difficult to comment on it..Tim Torre haa delivered emotionally packed performance..his character is painted with depth of unique self-introspection! I think we should not let anybody manipulate themselves and remain conscious about their love interests in a practical possible ways!
For quite a few days, I am gonna mull over this tremendous LGBT movie 😊
Let me just commend this movie on it’s amazing music choices and powerful writing.
Lance is such a talented actor I'm in love with his talent and I hope he gets far into the industry.
I'm so glad I came across this - it's everything I needed right now. This is brilliant!
Absolutely brilliant work. From the writer(s), the director, everyone else involved in producing this final piece, all the way to the absolutely brilliant acting. This short film had everything. It made me feel love, romance, humor, pain, passion, despair and healing. Absolutely brilliantly done. Thank you ❤
Very deep, funny, sweet and contemporary short film. Everyone remembers the good and bad aspects of their relationships, but there is always the one that makes us stronger and more accepting of ourselves. The conversation between Lance and his conscience is beautifully real, introspective, cute and touching! Truly a classic Romance story anyone can internalize with. The ending was bittersweet yet reassuring too. Loving who you are is the important thing.
You know, I was watching this film from a kind of passive lens where I was just following the story and trying to get a feel of everyone's emotions, but a comment here really put it into perspective once I had gotten to the part where the guys were arguing. I too have been rather depressed over not just finding love but also a decent lasting friendship. So whenever I feel like I'm getting close to something, I feel too much too fast and get my hopes up even though I try not to, and all the emotions just overflow. But then when things don't seem to be going as well as I'd hoped I take it really hard and fall like a ton of bricks. What really slapped me in the face about this film was the context of the guy talking to himself. It didn't hit me until 75% of the way through, but I totally have moments like these. Every time I'm depressed I just drift off in a sad daydream and my brain ends up imagining that I'm keeping myself company, talking to myself, trying to pick myself back up. Sometimes I'm the same age as myself, sometimes I'm younger and more hopeful, sometimes I appear a year older and wiser. But it always manages to pull me out of my depressive state for at least a little. I always think that it's a sign that I do love myself enough to be able to get back up and start pursuing relationships again. But then sometimes I have to wonder if I am. Like the guy in this film, him having a heart-to-heart with himself didn't mean that he had his issues sorted. It was probably just another daydream in his life. Not sure of it all myself. But I love this film's message and was very impressed at how well it managed to reflect things relevant to my own life in such an accurate way that I don't think I've seen before in a story.
You cannot love others until you love yourself
This is a nugget of gold an a sea of indie gay films. The dialogue, the realism, the emotions, the truth - it's all there. I loved it!!!
I'm crying right now. This is so beautiful. The actors, acting, cinematography, so good. The film's so honest and really shows the characters as humans, and their characterization and interaction, wow, give their story substance and make it interesting. The story was well organized, a great syuzhet, and was shown in a creative manner.
I really was able to empathize with Lance and Adam. I hope they get the peace in their heart that they truly deserve. I wonder how they were in their current lives. I really want the both of them to be happy.
This was an amazing movie!! One of the best LGBT 🏳️🌈 films I've ever seen
I died at 4:45 😂(ps you guys are great at acting and I love the story)
Life changing video! Brilliant writing, directing and acting by beautiful actors... Thank you!
For me, what I noticed what is so life changing, is the scene 22:43 onward, the critical "self" just got told the ultimate words of rejection, got up off the couch to hold hands and dance with Lance who is also most vulnerable... and... then the words of the song playing brining awareness to their dysfunctional relationship, their loving embrace... so powerful! Again, BRILLIANT Video! More videos like this please! 💞
Amazing short movie. INTENSE. REAL. EMOTIONAL.
Very TALENTED actors (Tim Torre and Donovan Mendelovitz), and BRILLIANT director and writer (Chad Hylton).
I love it!
The beauty and emotion in this was beyond amazing. This is one of the only short films I've watched that has touched my soul. Thank you for this for of art !
What an exceptional film; writing, acting, camera work, scene transitions, music, editing. I've watched it through a few times to enjoy it all again. I don't recall being so captivated, second to second, by a such a well produced film. Great relatable story. Thank you. The talent expressed here has got to be experienced by more people. I hope your path is cleared to share more.
Absolutely amazing. Really great writing and actors!
"Is this me??"
*"I just wanted to draw something beautiful today."*

I relate to the movie very closely too. Congratulations on such an amazing work and looking forward to see many more great movies by you. Thank you for sharing this with us.
This movie hits close to home. My own insecurities trashed every relationship I've been in. How could I hurt people I love.
this by far is the most thought-provoking lgbt short films to date. the depth of the story and how it was transitioned goes well beyond genius! kudos! i so love it! 😉😍
Really good actors. This should be an award winning for the best actors
Great job... i'd love to see some more work by these actors and the director. Either same characters , new adventures or different characters. With this type of quality, I'm subscribing.
This was absolutely incredible. Had me in tears in two different parts!
"Like a snicker fucking doodle" gold
The cinematography is absolutely genius!
One of the best short films I've seen. Much respect for this picture ❤️

I love the twins relashinship
To everyone involved in this production, congratulations. Such a well conceived, constructed and executed story. I am incredibly moved by its authenticity. I wish everyone involved the happiest of careers!
this tall guy who looks like James Franco is such a fine actor. the artist is also Amazing but the other one was just too good!
God, that was incredibly beautiful. It touched my heart. Thank you for making this.
It's sad they didn't end up together but it is an amazing and touching short movie
Wonderfully nuanced performance by Mr. Torre.
So well done, definitely one of my favourite short films!
It's beens year's since I last watched this short film. I still remember this film. The best things always stick with u ❤️.
so I've cried over it a lot. But it's too beautiful and full of meaning. Thank you for this
This was a beautiful short film. It displayed multiple themes, in a very real and creative way and everything was put together so great.
Very good. Good story. Very good acting. I especially liked the method of the story -- the alter ego. It was a very good idea to do it that way.
Well done.
This is actually amazing.... I love it the acting is so natural,this is the best short film I've ever seen... loved it ❤
It was so good and emotional! Thanks for making it! ❤❤
Chad Hylton’s “Love You Thank You” brought back memories of a lover, older and more experienced than me, who after having sex each time would thank me. I was young and newly out and found it a strange thing to say, but in time I realised that what I saw as the beginning stages of our life together he saw instead in strictly transactional terms of mutual pleasure. There was no “our life together”, just as Chad Hylton’s Adam, the emerging artist played by Donovan Mendelovitz, has no plans for anything more significant than his career. Lance, on the other hand, brilliantly played in all his complex misunderstandings by Tim Torre, yearns for someone to make up for what he lacks: self-love, self-worth, self-respect. This sad story of painful self-discovery has been made with considerable care and skill by its talented production team.
OK WOW this is truly a very interesting short film, love the concept & it helps that the cast has actual acting talent.
Tim and Donovan you're both amazing actors this was a hard role to play but you did it brilliantly I kind of had my mouth open at the end of the movie I was just expecting just a touch more, it's obvious that your boyfriend is suffering from depression and it's so sad cuz it's getting in the way of everything, " everything", I really love this film thank you for sharing it with us it was simply amazing you guys both have a new fan my name is Bob storm and I want to thank you for this film. Love is All Around.
I love this. It was so good. The acting was amazing and the characters were so relatable. It was fucking fantastic.
This is a masterpiece ! I can't stop watching......and crying.
