So touching, His mother had forgotten who he was, but at a moment when he desperately needed a mothers love she was there for him. I lost my mother to Cancer 3 years ago. I was really moved by this. excellent video and so well made.
this made me cry. we cant always have the things we want in life but we always stand by the things that needed as most. even if that means letting go of our personal happiness. kudos to the whole cast and people behind the camera. love it.
This film is exquisite (writing, acting, cinematography, music, editing, directing). The gifts Kyle gives Anthony: a kinder, more humane perspective on his mother & himself, the images (photos, memories) to keep forever, the poignancy of love and loss, the beauty of regaining his mom (only when he lets himself be vulnerable can she BE his mom). Kyle moves on (school, life) despite his own pain at letting go, despite his love for Anthony... Thank you so much for posting this. It is truly fine.
Wow, thank you for such a beautiful comment. We still can't believe our little film we made 8 years ago is still resonating with people today :) it would mean a lot to us if you could rate on IMDb as it helps us make future projects! Your support means a lot x www.imdb.com/title/tt1830903
That was stunning. I absolutely loved how he took pictures as memories for once he left. And I loved how the mother who had forgotten her own son was there for him when most needed him. This was absolutely beautiful.
I'm in tears! What a beautiful, but heart wrenching story. Poor guy. I hope that life rewards him for being such a good and devoted son, and that it brings his love back to him. I feel sooo sorry for him.
I didn't experience this as depressing - yes, heartbreaking - but profoundly hopeful, too. Kyle is moving on to a new life, Anthony has found the mother he lost and the love between him and Kyle is not a waste, not a hopeless journey, but a powerful connection that gives each of them a gift forever. "It is better to have loved and lost, then never to have loved at all." (Tennyson)
This movie is endearing, sweet and sad. When things are spinning out of control and life is full of stress its great to have someone to be you relief. If and when that person leaves it can be unbearable but I like the fact that he was there while he could be for his boyfriend. This speaks volume about the relationship and love they shared for each other and his mom. I really loved this short film.
I love short films because it takes skills and talents to evoke as much emotions and get the message across in such a short time frame. The director made sure that everything from the setting, the mood, the storyline to the characters all intertwined together. What I appreciated most was the title. It kept me thinking how many ways can this movie be synonymous with the word tide. Theres a lot going for it and I really have to watch this twice to get the full gist of the film. 5/5!
It's always harder for the one who's left behind. Those who move on to new things have nothing to remind them of the good times, but those left behind, they have to deal with looking at the places and things that help make the memories. It's never easy when someone walks away.
This happens to me with my best friend. She had to move back to her homeland. Now looking back on it, and know that I'm bi I realize that I think I liked her more than a friend.
@@acbulgin2 Thing is, I’ve been there, and obviously so far 235 other people have also. I’ve been on both sides of this scenario , and what I wrote seems to hold true for me. Thanks for the comment
IM SO SAD NOW. I WANTED A CUTE HAPPY GAY COUPLE BUT INSTEAD I GOT AN EMOTIONALLY WRECKED, ART LOVING GAY COUPLE WITH A MEMORY LOSING MOTHER. THANK YOU. THIS SHORT FILM WAS AMAZING, I NEEDED A GOOD CRY.
Kyle IS a deeply compassionate man. He teaches Anthony to SEE, to love his mother again, to let go of his control/anger/resentment - all the natural feelings of a young man struggling with loss and the unfairness of life. Kyle is brave to move on - he is clearly pained to leave. They are blessed to have found the love they have together - even if the relationship ends - and to have found love/life again: Kyle, his future; and Anthony, the nurturing tenderness of his mom before she dies.
Incredibly moving. I don't know what to do with myself now, I'm completely heartbroken and this story isn't even about me. Film should come with free hugs. But seriously, this is amazing, can't wait to see more.
I randomly came across this and had no expectations at all, but I really enjoyed watching it. I didn't even notice that it was almost 18 minutes long until it ended. The cinematography was great too, some of those scenes were really captivating. All around awesome job. I'm definitely going to pass this video on and check out your other stuff.
It's so hard to say goodbye to someone you really care for. It was really nice of him to come spend a day or so with him before he had to leave for school. At first I didn't quite catch on until after I remembered the first part where he had finished packing and was looking at the letter. Really nice film.
La desolación de este corto me congelo la cara. Pero el romance natural y sin clichés, entre estos dos chicos comunes y corrientes, me hacen creer cada vez mas que si es posible encontrar un amor real, pese al final. Muy buen corto, de lo mejor que he visto por estos lados!! gracias a quien lo subió!!
It's truly beautiful as short film. The story, light as a countryside life and the tone of scene is almost monochrome. The touching plots are really just normal stuffs between the two actors. I love so much the cinematography view of the ocean during dusk when they ran to find the mom, dark but powerful. Also the end is not dramatic but very moving, realistic and well done. The emotion of the short is like the general tone, dark but slow, and, so powerful to leave people speechless. Thank you for this great short film!
One of the MOST impactful short films I have ever seen: The denouement of a youthful romance and the tender spark of compassion amidst the ravages of Alzheimer’s.
I don't want to encourage the thought that gays are unhappy, it's just my experience of growing up as a gay kid in a small rural town. Hopefully what people also see is that I am now doing what I love, making films, telling stories and showing that there is hope. I suspect that the new wave of young film makers will have more positive stories as it slowly becomes easier to be out and gay. Thanks for watching :)
Grew up in a very rural area. Gay. Took care of my mom until she left the year of our Lord in 2014 . Very few know that I am gay it's not excepted in my area.i have heard of others living in the county but no one cares comes out of the closet. We know to stay in the closet we have a better chance to live.
The intimacy been these two is so delicately portrayed, can't tell you how much I appreciated your you approached this. The story is rich and there isn't much talking, the pace is good. I like the camera work as well, you really get the sense of isolation. You keep the eye interested. Bit shaky at times though.
Excellent, very well made. The loss of his lover is heart crushing, yet he retains his priorities as a loving and caring son to his mother. First class.
Passionate and heartbreaking short film. Anthony and Kyle really had a lovely relationship going on, it was a shame they had to part ways. Sadly, love can be that way sometimes. The ending was a bit of a downer but has a hint of optimism to it. While Anthony and Kyle were not able to be together physically- in spirit and at heart they will always be one.
Thank you for such a beautiful comment. We're glad that you sensed the hint of optimism. For me, it's not so much about what they lost, but the beauty of what they shared. If you liked the film please do rate on IMDb :) www.imdb.com/title/tt1830903
I know a dozen or more same-sex relationships that are very happy, and the couples have been together two, five, ten, twenty years or more. Don't give up, my friend.
harhainen I will admit, it is sad. But it's also hopeful that two gay teenagers were able to find each other in such a rural setting. It was also a very personal story, wherever you grow up, there are some people (Kyle) who will never be happy where they are (Me) and move away, and people like Anthony who are more content with what they have, where they have it (A large number of my friends stayed on the Isle of Wight). I think that's a thing that goes for heterosexuals too. There must be countless straight couples who have gone through the same thing being forced apart by circumstance - and although it's sad, they're last day together will be something they remember forever.... (and who knows, maybe they meet up and get married a few years down the line hahha ;)
This story is truly beautiful, and beautifully filmed. The actors convey grittiness and tenderness, are beautiful and like most of us at the same time. The landscape is perfect. Congratulations.
This belongs to the sort of Film, you can watch when you have to cry and need some help to do so. Beautiful. This film is just beautiful. The pure imaginagion of having someone so close, in a region with barely humans living in, being together for so long and being so in love and trust. And then loosing this special human. This film touches the very bottom of my soul.
finally a refreshing gay short film. it reminds of of weekend, but i love that it didn't need to go for sex sex sex as it's selling point, but the honesty of life, and how gays are in plight with family, love, friendship and even disappointment.
It sucks that all gay shorts ever are depressing as fuck, but as much as it depressed the shit out of me, it was really beautiful. Genuine emotion, not melodramatic. I have, for some reason, seen about 15 gay short-films today, and I think this is my favorite. So beautiful!
Thank you so much, honestly, you don't know how much this means to me! A lot of people didn't believe in the film so it's great it is reaching the right people now :)
Thank you. This mirrors my life in some ways at this point. I enjoyed it as it brought so many emotions out and I think this is what "films" should do.
Man. I was torn. I didn't want Kyle to leave, but on the other hand I knew that if he left, he would be able to make something for himself and eventually, possibly come back for Anthony. Thanks for this!
This was so lovely! I really enjoyed the fact that it wasn't about overcoming the closet or angst relating to that -- their problems weren't sexuality based (i.e: issues relevent to any type of romantic relationship). Also, Broken Colours looks really fantastic - if you're still looking for funding have you considered doing a KickStarter?
Thank you so much. Really does mean a lot to me and the team. Please like my facebook page if you want to keep up to date on future projects. facebook.com/JasonBradburyFilms
This is really beautiful and well-made. The cinematography is so freaking gorgeous, and the emotions feel so authentic and raw. I really, really love this. You're very talented.
Absolutely stellar movie. Great in ALL aspects, acting, directing, plot, etc. I think you should consider a sequel to this short. Although outcome here was sad and heartbreaking, it is tender, sweet and loving all wrapped up in an incredible film. Well done.
Every time I come back to this page I am astounded by the number of views and positive comments. You guys seriously make all the trials and tribulations worth it and I am already thinking it's time I made a new short, despite having numerous other longer projects in the works I feel I want to give something back to you for your support. Anyway, thanks again. Please keep spreading the film to your friends. xxxx
In a world of pettiness and distraction, it's powerful to be reminded that nobility is all around. Anthony is so burdened at the beginning; what a relief to see him shed his tears at the end and how poignantly beautiful to feel that his mother can finally show him the love he craves. ps I studied film in college - I have taught classes and written about it, but mostly just loved the art all of my life. Grateful to have watched as it deeply moved me. If this is your film, wow! Congratz :o)
It's a about two people that love each other, but one of them has to leave to go to college while the other has to stay home and take care of his sick mother.
I could defiantly tell the love and care these two guys had for each other, it just makes me sad that the blonde one had to leave the dark haired one there to take of his mom...but other than that it was a phenomenal story and i look forward to seeing others...i'm glad i watched this, i'm supposed to be studying for my Physics exam but Oh well, this was certainly worth the sacrifice! :D
What I like about this it’s not focusing on the fact there gay or Sex or anything, just on relationship, how a partner can be man or woman, it’s sad they parted ways in the end but as outdated as it might be I really love how it just shows how one person can care for the other regardless of gender, the pictures he took signifies allot and is a beautiful thing. He truly cares for this person regardless if there lives lead them on diverting paths
Thank you, and I am so glad that you read it that way. It is exactly how Matt (the writer) and I intended. It's sad as it's inevitable, but it is about being selfless and giving up things you love for someone or something else. We always said that the film was about "exploring the intimate and often unspoken moment in which we give something special away." Thanks again x
A brilliant film with an intricate array of cross cutting themes of ageism, loneliness, fragile friendships, love, separation ...all conveyed in such a short time shot on a cold day in the Isle of Wight that captures the mood. Bravo.
It was a very touching and moving story, esp. about our dearest mother. Is there other greatest sacrifice than giving up something or someone special to just take care of our mother who is terminally ill. God Bless. 🙏🏻❤️
Thank you so much :) if you have time it would be amazing if you could give the film a good rating on IMDB, it helps with future projects!! I will have new work out in 2019!
I cared for my mother for almost 10 years. The last 6 months of her life was the hardest thing I've ever had to watch and go through. She died at home, July 10, 2019. 4 days after her 82 birthday. I love her and miss her so much.
Really really loved this. Visually fantastic and the storyline was amazing. Acting was awesome and I don't have one single complaint about this :) Overall it was just an amazing short film
both straight and gay people go through this same sad story, so i think it's unfair to say that this plot encourages the general perception that being gay equals having an unhappy life. personally, i actually find this movie subtle and without pretensions for melodramatic tragedy that are overdone in many films -- gay or not. the subtlety is precisely what makes it authentic and moving. kudos to you sir! more films of this quality i hope. ;)
Thank you for watching :) it would mean a lot to us if you could rate on IMDb as it helps us make future projects! Your support means a lot x www.imdb.com/title/tt1830903
You are absolutely correct on the whole hearted beauty of their gay love. A love that is stronger than any other. Did Kyle give anything away. I am sure he did not. I think he will regret the way he left and for ever want it back. The way you managed to get this across with such few words it leaves me speechless. It was the power of his love that allowed him to leave. You should always say goodbye and not runaway. I didn't get the chance my first love died suddenly. He will always be there never forgotten. Thank you Jason for this film and I do not do facebook.
It is well crafted film. I love the rural setting that adds flavor to the love story of the two people. It is quiet and moving. The dark color and lighting create mood of intense emotion.
D'une sensibilité et d'une tristesse qui avoisinent la perfection. Cette dernière journée entre les deux acteurs, sur ce fond pictural de mélancolie, rien ne peut troubler davantage un connaisseur du " Spleen " tel que je l' aime. Bravo à l'auteur et remettez-vous vite au travail pour nous livrer à nouveau un petit chef d'oeuvre...
Well done. The minimal dialogue was extremely effective. Rich characters and well-chosen setting. I enjoyed this little gem.

Really great example of film-making. Touching story, great visuals and great performance. I was feeling with characters, also I fell the loss of close one, tho I was with characters for only 17 minutes. God damn great job.
This made me cry. It's 1 AM and I'm crying. It's sad, it's brilliant. I didn't liked the sad end, actually I didn't liked it ended. It should be longer, have a second part, a happier ending. I'm too sensitive, I can't handle it. Brilliant. Love it. (btw, can't believe this has been on youtube since fev/2013 and I only found it now)
This short film is sad every time I watch it. I just wish didn't leave the ending untouched. I hope in the story they keep in touch. But this film was beautifully made!
It's a good film and the actors are good. The blond did the right thing and the brown hair boy is a good son. Not the end, just the middle. No goodbyes... 😍
I appreciate how you can see that they truly loved each other. I just wish that other people could find the same thing they had since I never will. It's been a struggle for me to come to terms with the fact that I'll probably never be in a relationship because of my body type. I have accepted that it's always the healthy, muscular, wealthy, couples that are successful; and me being so far away from all those things proves to me that I'll never be good enough for anybody. It's been super hard to understand that I will be alone because of my body and my weight, but at least I finally do.
can anyone suggest another full length gay film with this kind of plot? something sad and disappointing in the end? i've watched Weekend, I Want your love, the fluffer and brokeback mountain and they're all miserably tragic but swelling with love. Now this short film needs a full length sequel. And may i just ask why everybody keep thinking the two men are brothers? that'll be incest and totally not sexy! This short film is by far the best one i've seen in a year, thanks for making it!!!
Truly touching and beautiful cinematics, the plot was intriguing and although it was sad, it was also oddly heartwarming. Honestly, I teared up. I believe the sole purpose of an artist is to evoke emotion or move an audience. You have certainly done both.
This film is so beautiful and we'll done. I love the lack of dialogue and sound it just makes me focus on other aspects of the film and I just loooove it. mewwwa (kiss). made me tear up near the end.
You understood it pretty well. Anthony (who is looking after his mum, who is terminally ill) can't leave the island where they live, as he can't bare the thought of leaving his mother in care. Kyle, who leaves the letter, has no choice but to leave as there is no future for him on the Island. It's a sad thing and does beg the question, was Kyle right? Should he have left or tried to work things out. In the end I think Anthony would be happy Kyle followed his dreams.
Wish you could make a second part 2 this film on where you make Kyle and Anthony reconnect together after his mom has passed away or put in a home I know that sounds kind of mean but I just want to see Anthony and Kyle back together
I really loved this film I really wanted it to be longer it just got interesting and it was over.But thats why its called a short!! The part was heart breaking actually
Thank you everyone for your comments so far, the writer Matt & I put so much work into this short, and the fact it is finding such a big audience (over 400,000 views now!) on UA-cam is really humbling. And no matter how you feel about the film as a whole, if you at least feel something we are happy. Please do like our feature film project on Facebook too: /brokencoloursfilm xxx
Being alone to care for someone until the end comes is lonely indeed. Both my parents passed away, 6 years apart, recently, just as Alzheimer was really setting in. I was spared "this movie", but the sadness and the loneliness is the same!
Great all around. At the end, when she touches her son's hand, I wish she said "It's OK John" (whatever the character's name of the son is) . Having the mother remember him at the end would have been great symbolism of loss and unity.

so these short gay movies show us that nothing never works.. im fucking crying whole day here watching these... i love the reality..
I know a dozen or more same-sex relationships that are very happy, and the couples have been together two, five, ten, twenty years or more. Don't give up, my friend.

Hello Mozart totototototoyoyoyoyououoououoioioiooioiio
Thank you so much, honestly, you don't know how much this means to me! A lot of people didn't believe in the film so it's great it is reaching the right people now :)

Thank you. This mirrors my life in some ways at this point. I enjoyed it as it brought so many emotions out and I think this is what "films" should do.
Man. I was torn. I didn't want Kyle to leave, but on the other hand I knew that if he left, he would be able to make something for himself and eventually, possibly come back for Anthony. Thanks for this!

The place they were filming at is absolutely the most beautiful one I have ever seen. I also loved the story. Great work.

Inspired, heartfelt and tragic yet at the same time so compassionate. Truely a work of artistic genius.
This was so lovely! I really enjoyed the fact that it wasn't about overcoming the closet or angst relating to that -- their problems weren't sexuality based (i.e: issues relevent to any type of romantic relationship).
Also, Broken Colours looks really fantastic - if you're still looking for funding have you considered doing a KickStarter?
One of the best, most moving short movies I have seen. It was an absolute pleasure to come across it. Thank you
Thank you so much. Really does mean a lot to me and the team. Please like my facebook page if you want to keep up to date on future projects. facebook.com/JasonBradburyFilms
This is really beautiful and well-made. The cinematography is so freaking gorgeous, and the emotions feel so authentic and raw. I really, really love this. You're very talented.
Absolutely stellar movie. Great in ALL aspects, acting, directing, plot, etc. I think you should consider a sequel to this short. Although outcome here was sad and heartbreaking, it is tender, sweet and loving all wrapped up in an incredible film. Well done.
That was beautiful. Each frame was a beautiful photograph and the simplicity adds to its strength and universality. Well done.
Bit late finding this but to get that much emotion into 17 minutes is impressive congrats
Every time I come back to this page I am astounded by the number of views and positive comments. You guys seriously make all the trials and tribulations worth it and I am already thinking it's time I made a new short, despite having numerous other longer projects in the works I feel I want to give something back to you for your support. Anyway, thanks again. Please keep spreading the film to your friends. xxxx

Ive watched about 2,000 million of these, and I cry every time
In a world of pettiness and distraction, it's powerful to be reminded that nobility is all around. Anthony is so burdened at the beginning; what a relief to see him shed his tears at the end and how poignantly beautiful to feel that his mother can finally show him the love he craves.
ps I studied film in college - I have taught classes and written about it, but mostly just loved the art all of my life. Grateful to have watched as it deeply moved me. If this is your film, wow! Congratz :o)
I absolutely loved it! Passionate and Painful. When it comes to the matters of the heart LOVE, is one of the strongest feelings. Bravo!!!!
It's a about two people that love each other, but one of them has to leave to go to college while the other has to stay home and take care of his sick mother.
I could defiantly tell the love and care these two guys had for each other, it just makes me sad that the blonde one had to leave the dark haired one there to take of his mom...but other than that it was a phenomenal story and i look forward to seeing others...i'm glad i watched this, i'm supposed to be studying for my Physics exam but Oh well, this was certainly worth the sacrifice! :D
Thanks so much for your comment, I hope you aced your Physics exam! Please do check out my recent new videos :)

What I like about this it’s not focusing on the fact there gay or Sex or anything, just on relationship, how a partner can be man or woman, it’s sad they parted ways in the end but as outdated as it might be I really love how it just shows how one person can care for the other regardless of gender, the pictures he took signifies allot and is a beautiful thing. He truly cares for this person regardless if there lives lead them on diverting paths
Thank you, and I am so glad that you read it that way. It is exactly how Matt (the writer) and I intended. It's sad as it's inevitable, but it is about being selfless and giving up things you love for someone or something else. We always said that the film was about "exploring the intimate and often unspoken moment in which we give something special away." Thanks again x
Brilliant. Acting, cinematography, emotions - extremely well done. It's amazing how so few words can convey so much.
A brilliant film with an intricate array of cross cutting themes of ageism, loneliness, fragile friendships, love, separation ...all conveyed in such a short time shot on a cold day in the Isle of Wight that captures the mood. Bravo.
Thank you for the comment. It means a lot. Please do follow my other work, there is more coming this year too! :)
+Rajbkkl right on description of the short; :)
Hello Mozart

It was a very touching and moving story, esp. about our dearest mother. Is there other greatest sacrifice than giving up something or someone special to just take care of our mother who is terminally ill. God Bless. 🙏🏻❤️
Very emotional and loving film!!! All 3 actors did an excellent performance.
Thank you so much :) if you have time it would be amazing if you could give the film a good rating on IMDB, it helps with future projects!! I will have new work out in 2019!
I cared for my mother for almost 10 years. The last 6 months of her life was the hardest thing I've ever had to watch and go through. She died at home, July 10, 2019. 4 days after her 82 birthday. I love her and miss her so much.
R.I.P
Sending love to you Bernard. She was lucky to have such a caring son xx
Really really loved this. Visually fantastic and the storyline was amazing. Acting was awesome and I don't have one single complaint about this :) Overall it was just an amazing short film
Literally can’t stop watching these films
both straight and gay people go through this same sad story, so i think it's unfair to say that this plot encourages the general perception that being gay equals having an unhappy life. personally, i actually find this movie subtle and without pretensions for melodramatic tragedy that are overdone in many films -- gay or not. the subtlety is precisely what makes it authentic and moving. kudos to you sir! more films of this quality i hope. ;)
Gay life has been very hard on everyone, regardless of race or social status .... because many times you do it well!
Aw the blonde guy is literally the best boyfriend ever. I hope when I get a boyfriend he will be like him.
Thank you for watching :) it would mean a lot to us if you could rate on IMDb as it helps us make future projects! Your support means a lot x www.imdb.com/title/tt1830903
You are absolutely correct on the whole hearted beauty of their gay love. A love that is stronger than any other. Did Kyle give anything away. I am sure he did not. I think he will regret the way he left and for ever want it back. The way you managed to get this across with such few words it leaves me speechless. It was the power of his love that allowed him to leave. You should always say goodbye and not runaway. I didn't get the chance my first love died suddenly. He will always be there never forgotten. Thank you Jason for this film and I do not do facebook.
We need a sequel where Kyle comes back from college after 2-4 or so years!! And they have a lovely reunion and live happily ever after hoorah
Rosebud 4 years after...
Rosebud it's really sad knowing that it all ended there..
It is well crafted film. I love the rural setting that adds flavor to the love story of the two people. It is quiet and moving. The dark color and lighting create mood of intense emotion.
This literally took my breath away. So beautiful in every way. Bravo.

D'une sensibilité et d'une tristesse qui avoisinent la perfection. Cette dernière journée entre les deux acteurs, sur ce fond pictural de mélancolie, rien ne peut troubler davantage un connaisseur du " Spleen " tel que je l' aime. Bravo à l'auteur et remettez-vous vite au travail pour nous livrer à nouveau un petit chef d'oeuvre...
Etgh I need to need too go to sleep, but I can't stop watching these.
Your picture though :')

Well done. The minimal dialogue was extremely effective. Rich characters and well-chosen setting. I enjoyed this little gem.
Really great example of film-making. Touching story, great visuals and great performance.
I was feeling with characters, also I fell the loss of close one, tho I was with characters for only 17 minutes. God damn great job.
This made me cry. It's 1 AM and I'm crying. It's sad, it's brilliant. I didn't liked the sad end, actually I didn't liked it ended. It should be longer, have a second part, a happier ending. I'm too sensitive, I can't handle it. Brilliant. Love it.
(btw, can't believe this has been on youtube since fev/2013 and I only found it now)
This short film is sad every time I watch it. I just wish didn't leave the ending untouched. I hope in the story they keep in touch. But this film was beautifully made!
A wonderfully sad story of love, togetherness while dealing with family situations. Thank you.
This was absolutely amazing. Everyone can relate to this in someway. The overly attached partner, coping with depression and of course sexuality.
It's a good film and the actors are good. The blond did the right thing and the brown hair boy is a good son. Not the end, just the middle. No goodbyes... 😍
There's no "blond" in this movie!
This happened to me twenty years ago. You never get over it.
You were the actor in the film? 🤨
❤️❤️
Brilliant film, excellently acted and filmed. Beautiful!
why are short gay films so popular

I appreciate how you can see that they truly loved each other. I just wish that other people could find the same thing they had since I never will. It's been a struggle for me to come to terms with the fact that I'll probably never be in a relationship because of my body type. I have accepted that it's always the healthy, muscular, wealthy, couples that are successful; and me being so far away from all those things proves to me that I'll never be good enough for anybody. It's been super hard to understand that I will be alone because of my body and my weight, but at least I finally do.
Such an innovative story. I applaud thee for the success! Very well done :)
can anyone suggest another full length gay film with this kind of plot? something sad and disappointing in the end? i've watched Weekend, I Want your love, the fluffer and brokeback mountain and they're all miserably tragic but swelling with love. Now this short film needs a full length sequel. And may i just ask why everybody keep thinking the two men are brothers? that'll be incest and totally not sexy! This short film is by far the best one i've seen in a year, thanks for making it!!!
Truly touching and beautiful cinematics, the plot was intriguing and although it was sad, it was also oddly heartwarming. Honestly, I teared up. I believe the sole purpose of an artist is to evoke emotion or move an audience. You have certainly done both.
HI
Xxxo💏💗😙
This film is so beautiful and we'll done. I love the lack of dialogue and sound it just makes me focus on other aspects of the film and I just loooove it. mewwwa (kiss). made me tear up near the end.
So sad, but beautiful.
That wheel-chair reminds me of many feelings: love, fear, hope, melancholy ...
This short movie was amazing, I loved every minute of it. My compliments to each person that worked on this :) Hope to see more of your works!
You understood it pretty well. Anthony (who is looking after his mum, who is terminally ill) can't leave the island where they live, as he can't bare the thought of leaving his mother in care. Kyle, who leaves the letter, has no choice but to leave as there is no future for him on the Island. It's a sad thing and does beg the question, was Kyle right? Should he have left or tried to work things out. In the end I think Anthony would be happy Kyle followed his dreams.
Wish you could make a second part 2 this film on where you make Kyle and Anthony reconnect together after his mom has passed away or put in a home I know that sounds kind of mean but I just want to see Anthony and Kyle back together
They were in-love. But what I see is priorities. Though, Kyle suggest an option for Anthony...it really hurts.😢
He has to go off to get established and make money to care for his mother in law. Eventually he will return and help them to move.
Hi
I really loved this film I really wanted it to be longer it just got interesting and it was over.But thats why its called a short!! The part was heart breaking actually
Even though I "kind of" live in the city, I would love to try a day or two in the setting this short film was in... looks so peaceful and nice!
hmm, Great
I love these types of videos but I never deliberately search them up. I always just kinda end up here after like 4 hours on UA-cam
MCRX 9/23/16 I searched "gay short films" up once and ever since then there's always one in my recommended.
Autumn The Tree same!!

Thank you everyone for your comments so far, the writer Matt & I put so much work into this short, and the fact it is finding such a big audience (over 400,000 views now!) on UA-cam is really humbling. And no matter how you feel about the film as a whole, if you at least feel something we are happy. Please do like our feature film project on Facebook too: /brokencoloursfilm xxx
once again, thank you. This film needs no qualification. Not ever. Smiles.
Please tell me what was all.that about?
Its beautiful scenes. What was the letter about?.
@@luisbautista308 The letter said that Kyle had been accepted into a Photography course at University, so he was leaving the island.and Anthony.
C'est beau !
Reviewing it again after seeing it a few years ago...
still in my favorite short movies.

Being alone to care for someone until the end comes is lonely indeed. Both my parents passed away, 6 years apart, recently, just as Alzheimer was really setting in. I was spared "this movie", but the sadness and the loneliness is the same!
No words could touch the depth of feeling this film has in my heart and mind. ... oh wait. it just did. :-D Well done!!
Thank you for the comment, really it means a lot x
Yes! Thanks for posting! Cheers!🎉
I didn't really understand the end but it was quite beautiful. I'm crying
I really loved this. I watched it twice. Everything is brilliant about it...great cast, cinematography, writing and direction. I'm inspired!
I cried so hard with this short, it's so beautiful.
Hmm,Right
I love the accents, I love gay people, and I love love stories. This video has made my day

Great all around. At the end, when she touches her son's hand, I wish she said "It's OK John" (whatever the character's name of the son is) . Having the mother remember him at the end would have been great symbolism of loss and unity.
I actually expected her to say that too. 😢
