My friend sent me this, here’s my theory: Asher is in a coma after a suicide attempt and her mind is retreating to a place of comfort and familiarity - her father’s bookshop. Hale is her guardian angel trying to get her to wake up, only he’s new on the job and can’t get the conversation to lead her there naturally, hence why he keeps looping.
this is way better than I expected to be honest. Because of the thumbnail it thought it would be a romance short film but I was clearly wrong. Great work
This, right here, is CINEMATIC BRILLIANCE. In a crowded UA-cam world of "cinematic (read: bokeh)" shots and negligible storytelling, this movie is a gem. I came here for inspiration for a short I'm working on, and damn, this is so much more than I'd hoped for. Kudos.
@@Imalkiwhere the camera is basically. Like when in a show they usaly don’t show the tv they just show the family on the couch. If they showed the tv that’s breaking the fourth wall
The 4th wall is this concept in film where there's a sort of barrier separating the audience and the characters in a film. When a character in a film interacts with the audience, which can consist of speaking towards the audience and/or looking at the camera, it's considered breaking the 4th wall. The character and audience interaction breaks through that former separation. (Copied from another comment)
I love the concept! It reminded me of sometimes when I had a lucid dream, where I can sort of control them and just do it all over again if it's not working in my dream 😆😉
@@Ashley-s2t2 idk how did I do it but I've once read that one of the ways to lucid dream is you have to write your dream in your journal or smtg. I guess that works for me. I didn't write it every single time but I do write it or tell my friend whenever I have vivid dreams or good dreams. It might take some time but you can try it. But these days, I didn't really have any lucid dreams, just vivid dreams
I'm amazed! Because you guys really captured the feeling of 'dreaming', I mean 'DREAM'. Yeah, those who know the moment of dreaming and waking at the dawn, like 'I don't want to come out of it, no no I want to... I don't, I do, I don't, I do' and someone shouting in my mind, 'Wake up... WAKE UP!!!!' It's incredible!
Every person has a illusional world in mind . Some of them always visits there and some always wants to stay there . Because in that world he or she can control every moment , if a thing goes wrong it can start from beginning just like this girl with the boy. I love this film truly beautiful ❤️
You're so talented. This film beautifully captures the essence of dreaming, with its soft music and beautiful bookstore as a background. I also love your idea about breaking the 4th wall. It makes it feel so fresh and original. I can't wait to see what else you create. ❤

THIS WAS INCREDIBLEEE!ive been following you on tik tok and watching the progress and the bts!i love how you broke the 4th wall and i didn’t expect it!i love this smmmm keep up the good work!!💗💗
omg! This is so good! I cant really describe how i feel rn. The whole scenario was so good that it made my heart break. The actors were something else! Well done to the actors and the writer! Great job
nossa ficou muito legal, me pergunto como será que é a vida de Asher e o motivo do Hale está no sonho dela. Confesso que fico na expectativa de uma continuação. Um like daqui do Brasil!
Very well executed. Authentic portrayal of the roles by both actors. The title and the message became clear right at the end. The girl is literally trapped between words, in the fictional world of characters not knowing the right thing to say. The boy is right when he is telling her that it is an illusion. Asking her to wake up really hits hard.
Great story and beautifully shot! I am not convinced by the performances of the actors unfortunately, didn't hold me in. But there is so much potential here, and so much achieved already, you will go far! Keep it up!
This was great. At first I thought it was this superhuman guy trying to shoot his shot or maybe an author trying to find a perfect way to make his characters meet. Boy, this was great! 👍🏽
This was good. For a short film it was great. I would like more, maybe a part 2? Her, awake, being introspective about whatever happened? But this was good and well done.
What a fine short film! I loved the setting, music, acting, and everything about the film Even the choice of words such as the title, which refers both to a reader's willingness to get trapped in the imaginary world of fiction, and to the language the writer uses to communicate with the readers. The male character stands as fictional characters, which explains why the girl finds him familiar. He also finds it difficult to communicate with the reader, but since he is fiction, he can replay the same scenario multiple times to get his point. It was just great and lovely! Thank you for sharing it 😊
Nice film, that however shows the tragic display of todays world, in which we are not trapped in a world of words, but in a world of commerce. Imagine this bookstore being the internet and our smartphones, in which we try to escape from the real world. Where in this bookstore you choose entirely yourself which book you take of a shelf, start reading through or maybe even buy and a kind youngman helps you even by telling you there is still the real world outthere, that - with however much tragedy and challenges - still is a wonderful place if we (all) finally stop choosing selfishly. In the world of internet and smartphones, this bookstore is filled with items brought to you manipulated by commerce and algoritmes, addicting you, bending your brain into a more and more fake world going to extremes and leading you further and further into what initially may seem a dream, but will become a nightmare. And no, there is no kind youngman that wants you to wake up. There are only CEO's of large multinationals, rich shareholders of big business and ICT-managers of tech giants trying to convince you to just go on and on and on ... into oblivion.
This is amazing and very well done. Way better than the intro of a thousand movies released in the last years. I would love a continuation explaining who or what is Hale and why can't he let Asher live in her illusion. Very intriguing.
This is really great. So beautifully portrayed. This is my 3rd time watching this and I still love it😭💕 I don't know how to explain this but there's something in this short film that's pulling me back again and again to watch. Tha acting, cinematography, the background music and everything all and all is fantastic ❤
I wondered what it meant by trapped between words. I thought maybe like not knowing the right thing to say. But then in the end i got the message that shes trapped between books amd fictional worlds and it hit deep, i loved it but i also felt attacked lol
I've been waiting so long for this and it's amazing how come the Tik toks you guys have been filming are all outside with other actors, is there going to be a second film??
The girl Asher is dreaming, and Hale tries to tell her to wake up. He failed twice and then the third time succeeded. I think the first two Asher was aware of her control, whilst in the third dream she wasn't aware until she realized it was in fact a dream.
This reminds me of when I’m daydreaming and keep restarting the scenario because I don’t like how it’s coming out🫣
The reality of which we live in is set to challenge us for when we die miIeueuwypsnsit😂 w
Same here
For realll 😅
hey guy!!! actress here :)
Oh,heyy i loved
you did amazing!! ❤
You were amazing congrats!!
you were great !!
hey, you are good actress 🎉
I loved that I didn't have any idea what was about to happen next. also loved him breaking the 4th wall

That's a well-knit explanation!
that’s so good ❤

Thats an absolutely awesome theory omg
Guardian angel who's new at the job... :D

Where can i watch itt?
@@exoada9246 ??? literally here
Wt is the 4th wall ?
@@Imalkiwhere the camera is basically. Like when in a show they usaly don’t show the tv they just show the family on the couch. If they showed the tv that’s breaking the fourth wall
Also in the room u can only see 3 walls
OMGGG I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE A CLICHÉ ROMANCE MOVIE IN Q LIBRARY
Ayoo??? The fourth wall?? I just love how he reverses time. This film is just-I love it????
LITERALLY SAME OMLLLLLL
what is 4th wall everyone's talking about?

I love the feel of the intimacy that the shots give the film, it makes it feel isolated and just adds to the overall aesthetic. Great job :)
I love the concept! It reminded me of sometimes when I had a lucid dream, where I can sort of control them and just do it all over again if it's not working in my dream 😆😉
the fact that I can relate to it

Dude I this is so unpredictable and I love it. Breaking the 4th wall and restarting the dream is so insane. Thumbs up for the creator of the idea.
What a great short film! It‘s really witty with the actor trying to get it right every time so that she won‘t be pissed at him or smth 😂 love it!
This is soo good, breaking the fourth wall should be done more!

When exactly is it broken I am unable to find
@Parul Singh The 4th wall is broken whenever a character in the film interacts with the audience.
@@watchfulsparrow yeah but in this film how did they interact I'm confused
everything about this is so beautifully done! i'm looking forward to your future projects :)
It's really wonderful film! I would like to see a continuation of the story!

I waited sooo long for this and now it's finally happening 😍😍
Interesting way of building the plot ! 🥰🥰🥰
This is great! This short film immediately reminded of the song "Have We Met Before" and the acting here is refreshing.
Oh no! Same 😭
omg! This is so good! I cant really describe how i feel rn. The whole scenario was so good that it made my heart break. The actors were something else! Well done to the actors and the writer! Great job
Achei lindo e é sempre bonito ver uma produção nacional assim feita com esmero, acho que seria incrível ver uma versão falada em português também.
é br?
@@liabastos não, é português
siimmm
PROUD OF YOU GUYS!!🤍
I loved this! The wait was worth it!
Thank you for the lesson.
This film is literally a divine intervention.
I need to wake up
I need to wake up
I real need to wake up
I need to
This is amazing! Great story, I couldn’t predict the ending, which I really love! Awesome, keep making movies!

Okay, after watching Live i thought that i'l watch your other short film and it's Amazing!

Absolutely Amazing!!!! ❤️ the location was so beautiful, loved the lighting and the two actors did a magnificent job!
This is pretty good, I've been waiting for this one and I loved it, really well produced and the delivery from both actors was so nice.
Congrats!
sound is amazing as well, forgot to mention that
Didn't know I could see so much in 8 minutes! you guys did an amazing job
I've had lucid dreams , and they are always positive - even funny sometimes , never nightmarish like this video.
In love with this masterpiece
MEU DEUS, TÁ TÃO BOM Q EU ESQUECI Q É SÓ UM CURTA. CADÊ A CONTINUAÇÃO, PRODUÇÃO????
estou completamente sem palavras! isto está uma obra de arte.
I love this kind of videos with libraries ,books , boys ❤🍂🦋📖
Great story and beautifully shot! I am not convinced by the performances of the actors unfortunately, didn't hold me in. But there is so much potential here, and so much achieved already, you will go far! Keep it up!
I know im kinda dumb but can you pls explain me the story?😅
This was great. At first I thought it was this superhuman guy trying to shoot his shot or maybe an author trying to find a perfect way to make his characters meet. Boy, this was great! 👍🏽
Watching from the Netherlands and this was honestly a masterpiece!!
I saw the behind the scenes on tik tok and now I see this on my recommended. Amazing short film the actors are so talented

Didn't expect it to come out this great !!! Absolutely loved the concept & cinematography!!! ✨✨
I loved this, had goosebumps all over my body 😃
I love this part 0:00 - 0:53 also love the music!
I loved this! Can't wait for more from y'all and applause for everyone who created this masterpiece!
Amazing short film!
This is amazing and very well done. Way better than the intro of a thousand movies released in the last years.

You should probably make more short films like this it's amazing work
it is intensely great! no kissing in the end; breaking the stereotype! PERFECT!
I NEED AN WHOLE MOVIE 1H 2H IDC
I saw it when it had very less views the day it got released and just now it came upon my feed with 161k.happy 4u
It's giving me Addie Larue vibes, love it
omg i loved these 8 minutes
This is so good, can’t wait to see more
wooooo such a good short film, there is so many interpretations and i love it!
That was so good I literally had chills !!!!
I love it! God bless. Jesus loves you all!
The boy looks very professional...
is she lucid dreaming and trapped in it
well interesting I didn't expect the twist❤
I wondered what it meant by trapped between words. I thought maybe like not knowing the right thing to say. But then in the end i got the message that shes trapped between books amd fictional worlds and it hit deep, i loved it but i also felt attacked lol
incredible i love this so much!
Never watched one of your videos before, until this one. Very well done, great work!
I really love this movie❤❤❤
Omg! What a piece of art! This is amazing, excellent job, i really, REALLY loved it.
Great work guys! Loved it.❤
im in love, i want this as a real movie i wouldn't definitely watch it
I've been waiting so long for this and it's amazing how come the Tik toks you guys have been filming are all outside with other actors, is there going to be a second film??
It’s another short film, called live, these two actors also play in that one . Live will be coming out soon!
This was really interesting, and it defied my expectations. Just 2 characters and walls of books. Great job.
that's is great!!! i'm in love with this film
I SAW THE MAKING OFF IN TIKTOK WOOOOOOOOO ITS AMAZING
Actually can someone explain the plot of this film? I quite can't get it right... It's like, somehow giving me a little bit of horror vibes lol idk...
The girl Asher is dreaming, and Hale tries to tell her to wake up. He failed twice and then the third time succeeded.
I think the first two Asher was aware of her control, whilst in the third dream she wasn't aware until she realized it was in fact a dream.
@@XGalaxyPlqyZ oh that's nice
DANGGG WOW, WTH THIS MUST BE IN MOVIE NOWW💕
And again an amazing short film!!
This is genuinely awesome. Jacy you are one talented peep. Keep going!!
As a book lover, bookstores, etc... I can relate to that. If I wake up, I would die.
THIS IS AMAZING!!! ❤❤
I love the shooting and the sort of metaphor, really good
This is FIRE!!!
I'm so excited 😭💗

OH MY GOD IT WAS FANTASTIC
This reminds me of a dream i had ones, i entered a library and then the door vanished.
Great film! Anyone got any book recs with similar plot? :))
loved it, the vision with the audience and all, I’m really looking forward to what you’ll do next !! do you know where you want to study already ?
This made me cry I kind of want to know what happens next. Wish it was longer.
A masterpiece
