- A young woman thinks about dying.
SOMETIMES, I THINK ABOUT DYING is used with permission from Stefanie Abel Horowitz. Learn more at vimeo.com/stefanieabelhorowitz.
Fran lives alone and works in an office where she makes spreadsheets and goes about her day with a kind of meek invisibility. Pensive and melancholy, she also thinks about death. She isn't necessarily at the edge of crisis, but she questions her very existence and the seeming meaninglessness of life.
But then a co-worker, Robert, takes a romantic interest in Fran. As their gentle flirtation develops, it opens spaces within Fran that may draw her out of her isolation -- but it also could let in a pain that she's long-held at bay.
This Oscars-shortlisted, Sundance-selected drama short -- directed by Stefanie Abel Horowitz, who also co-wrote the script with lead actor Katy Wright-Mead and playwright Kevin Armento -- achieves a gentle yet masterful command of tone and craft, offering a deeply affecting character portrait of a woman mired in social isolation and depression.
Depression, with its atavistic malaise and sense of being "stuck," can be difficult to dramatize, but the film wraps its slender yet finely wrought narrative with a portrayal of Fran's larger psychological landscape that shows the interplay between Fran's thoughts and the ripples they make on the surface of her life.
The visual approach of the short reflects Fran herself, with beautifully composed shots rendered in muted, dusty cinematography that often move with a sense of tentative drift. The sound is also remarkably quiet, emphasizing silence and pauses and adding to the isolation and aridity of Fran's world.
A beautifully written voiceover woven throughout the narrative is key to the film, offering intimate access to the texture of Fran's thoughts as she goes through the motions of work and life. Her thoughts can be richly whimsical and idiosyncratic, revealing a dry, quick wit -- but they also question the very purpose of life itself and disparages Fran's very existence, with a weighty sense of futility that is debilitating and paralyzing.
When Robert enters the story, it gives both the story and Fran a sense of forward momentum, as well as a sweetly tentative charm. Yet the opportunity for intimacy and connection also threatens to unravel the edifice that Fran has erected around herself, and actor and co-writer Wright-Mead's performance delineates the slow destabilization in such a self-contained character with great empathy and precision. The painstaking care in building Fran's character and world pays off, however, in a quietly cathartic conclusion that is both heartbreaking in its sadness yet hopeful in its vulnerability.
SOMETIMES, I THINK ABOUT DYING is unique in films about mental illness in that it doesn't pathologize the condition. It's not presented as a crisis to get through or a condition to overcome, but something deeply ingrained within Fran's very being. There is no tidy conclusion, and the arc of the narrative isn't one of triumphing over the odds. Resolutely unsentimental, it is clear-eyed about how insidious depression is.
Many sufferers of this incredibly common condition will appreciate this, knowing that the hard work of dealing with depression is never such a linear process, but an ebb and flow between isolating numbness and deeply held release. This is a film that honors the reality of how complex and intricately embedded depression can be -- but also honors the tiny yet momentous steps it takes to reach out. - Фільми й анімація
The last shot was very powerful... She just needed someone to talk about her suicidal thoughts...
they broke up after that
@@ricemenarq6230 You must be a joy to have at parties.
@@ricemenarq6230 then she killed herself
Dont think it was suicide, just a state, which in some cases it might be alive and well, in others, a place no one really knows. Beautiful and scary.
or she had suicidal thoughts because she didn't have anyone
You never know how damaged a person is until to try to love them.
WOW
Good quote.
So true, and you would not know how much that damage can heal until you love somebody and you are loved back.
I think this does a great job of showing what REAL people are thinking and feeling. There are so many who struggle just to get through another day. I'm completely opposite of this woman but I fight every day just to get out of bed to face the doldrums of the twisted reality that we live in today! The last scene was powerful. She gets hit with the fact that someone wants to spend time with her, this broke the flood gate and all of her pain pours out. She was good too, I totally felt it, I believed her. It almost didn't seem like acting.
In a way, maybe it wasn't.
The best acting is not acting
@@mozuesolympian2988 , we suffer in silence. Pain is unreal. We work, go home, clean up a bit, even if it is just ourselves/body, just to *muster* to do it again the next day.
It's no way to live. Existing, without purpose is death.
Didn't think I'd like this, but it was the reluctant surrender that got me.
You have to be held. Comforted. Loved. Wanted. Needed. Appreciated. But above what I've mentioned, *acknowledge* !
No one notices until the tree or the bridge or 15 cannons strong when the laws come.
*PEOPLE ARE HURTING!!!*
@@mozuesolympian2988 , it wasn't.
@@SuperVendetta9 How very true. Everybody is suffering in some way or another. But, we won't let people know the "real" person behind the pain. Everyone is acting in this production we call LIFE.
Okay this video hit TOO close to home. I have a friend who acts just like this girl and I love her more than anything and want to be with her all the time. This girl acts sooooo much like my friend and I'm wondering if my friend is okay. I'm going to go talk to her now.
Good job if you did
is she ok?
Could always get some popcorn and watch some really good short films together....
Joining the chorus of people who are checking in on your friend. Were/are they okay?
I hope they seek professional help
I’m not crying...... we all need a Robert to care about us.
try smoking weed and making grilled cheese ❤️
How far does he want to get dragged down. It happens.
No more than one OZ to feel it
Speak for yourself
I need a Roberta
And these are all manly tears
Bleed lmk falls barrow
If you work with, or go to school with someone who just doesn't fit, think of this woman and become a friend.
Jude Lewis very kind of you :)
thank you
Maybe think really hard about it first. You could be in for a lot more than you bargained for. Life is not like the movies or a novel.
@@ampa4989 very true.
I did. In school. Eventually, we had a group of misfits where only I was not officially a *misfit* , which technically made me a misfit in the group! We had fun, though!
Plot Twist : Robert was also lonely and thinking the same things as her.
I don’t agree. He may have been lonely, as single people are apt to be, but he showed none of the signs that she did. I just think that he was the guy that she needed to get her out of the rut that she was in. It’s almost as if he knew. And he wanted to be there for her. He never pressured her. He just went at her pace.
This is such an accurate depiction of depression, it's scary.
so true
It's good to remember that people who "fit in" may be going through similar insecurities, anxiety and depression. They just mask it better.
small theory: I think the movie that they watched was supposed to symbolize life. At first, when Fran watched it with Robert, she didn't really like it and at the time, seemed to have no willingness to live. Later on, she says that she started to like the movie more and more, perhaps symbolic of how she is finding happiness in her own life through Robert
Hm. Interesting viewpoint.
I think you may be reading far too much into that, but ok. I respect all opinions and viewpoints.
Tampajohn Heh, maybe. I tend to look deeply into symbolisms a lot
Dragonfire Nothing wrong with that. It just means that you’re a very imaginative, free thinker. It will serve you well. 👍🏻
The film was called Little Luxuries, and I think the film represented the small but real luxuries or indulgences that people with depression are often unable to experience, unable to allow themselves to experience. I agree with you.
the immediate spiralling after messing up when speaking is too real
'Robert' is played by Jim Sarbh, an Indian actor who has stared in many hit films like 'Padmavat' and 'Neerja'.
& Sanju
Yup
Yess!!! i was wanting this one comment i knew he was indian just wasn't able to click.... thanks tho😂✋️
N Cold mess by prateek kuhad😁
Two of my faves! He wasn’t in Bend It Like Beckham, was he?
He last texted her at 11:32am. She replies at 5:44pm. Oh the agony he must have felt waiting.
Indeed!
Why? I mean, maybe for some guys. But men and women’s brains are wired differently. I think most men really aren’t concerned about things like that. If I text someone and they don’t answer within 10 mins or so, I’ll forget I even sent the text lol
@@TampaJohn not if the person is in your head and you're waiting for them to reply
Tampajohn for some it’s both. One moment you forget and another you’re just “aaaagh”
I can listen to her soft speaking to my ears 24/7
Her voice is stress relieving
Her voice sounded like Jenna Fischer’s. When I closed my eyes, I could picture her.
@@TampaJohn why are you replying to every comment. I was just seeing replies and I got so many of yours 😂. Anyway nice contribution
Ninad Shetty TBH, I’m not sure. When I have time to scroll through a video’s comments, I reply to comments as they come. I really don’t keep track as to how many I respond to.
I know what it feels like to fight the desire to die every damned minute.
There is so much out there to live for. Hang in there.
@@bobgillis1137 I try. So far, I've fought through 52 years but I never know when I am going to go sailing right over the edge.
Listen to music
How are you? Please talk to someone. Please dont hurt yoirself. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to talk to someone
Why
I didn't expect to tear up the way I did when she said "Why?"
And the next day He makes her an omeleto for breakfast and she feels a lot better

@@Philamosity 🧠👌👍
@Abel hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha ROTFFLMAO dude you're hilarious af! I can't stop laffin! OMG!
I’ve struggled with intrusive harm and suicidal thoughts before, and this definitely relates the loneliness of struggling with that from day to day. The fact that she doesn’t have any hobbies or strong interest in anything shows that she’s become so severely depressed that she doesn’t enjoy life anymore.
Or at least nothing she wants to share. Usually even depressed people still have some degree of interests. In her case, she seems more paranoid, scared and bitter than disengaged. This seems more like the portrayal of someone who's endured deep trauma and abuse.
wow-nice acting, her akwardness made me feel super uncomfortable thats never happened before
hawaiiflowerchild Same especially when she was like I like to tell myself stories about death:-:
hawaiiflowerchild WELL FOOKIN SAID MATE
You’ve never felt uncomfortable before?
Yesss tell me about it! Everytime I watch a video of omoletto Im so very much impressed with the acting of the actors. Very very good.
I wish I had someone like him when I was depressed
Instead, think about smoking weed and grilled cheese 🧀 ❤️ 🌲
@James Cotter i wish
How did you get out of your depression?
I wish I could tell you the secret to beating depression, but for me it has always been medication, therapy, group therapy and a lot of patience. Also general healthy things like seeing friends, eating right, sleeping and any type of exercise. But be patient and don't be so hard on yourself. Write, in fact write every thought you have. Talk, tell people about what's on your mind. Do something you've always wanted to, a class, a trip a chat with someone. You can always do something different. I see depression as my lowest, so what do I have to lose? I have learned to ride it out, and watch out for the triggers to prevent it next time.
@@undoubtedly i think knowing that u are and accepting it are the first steps, i also think you 'always' need other people to get out of it. Lonelyness (whats often tide to depression) is a litteral pain sensation like hunger is. If you are hungry you feel it so you eat. Loneliness works the same way. If ur lonely you feel it and you have to be social.
Watch the video lonelyness from kurzgezacht on youtube. It helped me alot understanding other people (i never have been depressed) and i think its confronting but helpfull for people who are depressed
I don’t remember Pam and Jim acting like this
💀💀💀💀💀💀 this comment is so underrated
Right? Her voice sounded just like Jenna Fischer’s!
The actor's name is actually Jim lol
This is the most realistic thing i have ever seen.
For real...this is what a crush, romance, new relationship is like for a lot of us.
This episode is phenomenal, especially the last scene..
I love how you call it an episode, implies that all the stories in Omeleto happen in the same universe
Wait.
The accuracy here is beautiful and painful. Bravo
"I wonder where he is taking me, I wonder if he wants to kill me" 😂😂😂😂😂😂Ladies.. Is that what you normally think?
Sometimes lol
Yes.
Yup
Haha so what should we say then?
I don't know if saying anything will matter. Heard about so many women getting assaulted that it has become like a reflex to think that. But make sure you don't really mean to kill/assault them and it will be fine? 😂😂
Wishing to have a Robert is natural but I also hope I can equally the Robert in someone's life.. It can be extremely tiring to be strong all the time
Poor guy looked so drained after each minute with her. She needs more help than he can give her. Hope she keeps her job and Robert gets her professional help.
I don’t care what any one thinks but this girl is a savage she sleeps with her feet out 2:35
Bennet Church what a crazy person who does that it’s just wrong
She practised being in a morgue xD
Bennet Church my feet are to hot in the blankets so i had to make a deal with the demons and children not to grab me by the feet ☺️
and I did the makeup on those feet! LOL
I do that... lmao what’s wrong with it? My feet get way too hot🥴
the amount of detail in the silences between their word exchanges and body language are really adorable. its like hes really willing to understand her point of view weather she talks or not and completely free of judgement. such a beautiful love story.
I smoke weed and eat grilled cheese, I never think about dying
ThunderMCR lol love it
Clara Estefanie add me on snap
One of the most awesome comments I've ever seen on UA-cam!!
Good for you
This gives me anxiety.
Makes me cry every time I watch it still. I absolutely loved being a part of this project that is so close to home and means so much to me. I have dealt with depression myself so to use my knowledge as a makeup artist to help portray this dark, insidious mental illness was a challenge but also an honor. I hope this film helps others feel some kind of hope and know that they are not alone. We are all here for each other and if you need a friend, I am here for you.
Very amazing story line, most of the people think of dying at some point in their life and if they say NO, then they are lying. Life isn't always sunshine, we have hard times also, thanks for the drama, good work Omeleto Team.
Just thought about it
Uhm ok. Glad to know that you can speak for all humans.
@@amandawolfe4097 you can let God handle it
@@therealmaskriz5716 The person said 'most'you kind person...
As damaged as she is, I feel for her and I want to see more of her and her life. Roberts also. Not just because of the ending.
Sadly the boat sank on the trip back so that's where the story ends 🙁
This film draws out your humanity, your compassion for the suffering of others in the most creative way. Stefanie Abel Horowitz is a brilliant artist.
I love how the sound editing uses a crescendo of mechanical droning in multiple places to convey the persistent mental droning of her thoughts.
2:18 to 2:40. The microwave drones on underneath descriptions of dying and being eaten, until the beep clears it all away, and you can even hear her inner narrator sigh at the relief.
8:04 to 9:28. This whole sequence while driving, on the boat, arriving at the destination, she is in a dark mental fog, and rumbling engines slowly build until the vision of the bathtub, which a foghorn finally clears out.
7:34 to 7:48 is very similar also, though it's not really a mechanical drone.
The sound the whole way through was fantastic. The main actress can not only act amazingly well, but voice act too. Bravo
This is the first one that made me cry, after all that and she said “you wanted to spend it with me?” That was it
Her sad face looks like Edward ScissorHands' normal face
As the makeup artist who did her makeup, I take that as a compliment! Our goal was to make her look more "deadly" , "gloomy", pale and not fully alive
@@augustbelen8026 Mission accomplished!! I assumed that there was someone quite pretty beyond her terminally fey quality.
I need a Robert in my life 😢
Me too

Yes he is😊😊

As much as I liked this video for her finally being able to tell her truth, my fear is that if I did tell a person in a new relationship about wanting to end myself, they would not want to see me any more. I only say this from experience.
I agree, and the fact that this video cut off ...it emphasized that. I tried making a friend in college and the moment I opened up about suicidal thoughts the person said he had to go. And he later just called the police on me, instead of just giving me some advice to seek help.
@@aziaramirez3932 I understand and I can empathize with you. I lost a job because I confided in a co-worker and she went to the HR dept and told them I was a danger to myself, despite me telling her it was just passive thoughts. People just don't understand sometimes and it's a hard thing to step out and risk. Sometimes they think they are helping and just make things worse. I would have liked to hear something in the end of the video, whichever way the writer decided to go, to at least have a response, if nothing more than to just keep holding her. I promise I will not give up and I hope that you will carry on in this screwed up world.
@@raywood8187 just knowing that I am not alone in my passive thoughts, (I would not do them) makes me feel not alone. Thank you.
@Kurt E. Clothier I also completely agree with you. However, it is extremely difficult to pretend to be a different person than who you are, around people. This is probably why I choose not to make friends.
@Kurt E. Clothier I definitely see your point. I however don't agree with everything. Nice talking to you stranger.
I like being a Robert. It makes me feel good. But it's hard when I feel like a Fran
Can't believe how good this is. I think Netflix needs to stream shorts. There's too much good stuff out there
Why not leave it on youtube
I second this! Would love to see our short on Netflix
@@MarikaUnsoo exactly! besides, UA-cam is free. I don't have Netflix.
Damn. That was powerful. Wow. Well done, to the creator.
If you are single and alone long enough, you begin to feel like an abandoned science project in the refrigerator. People can feel pretty insignificant when no one loves them.
Jack..dont give up sweetheart
Jack Johnson what a cool name! Don't give up because somewhere someone is waiting for you! You are unique & special! Life can be incredibly hard, particularly at the moment with the world feeling so big.
"I've seen you look at me at work, sometimes." - I would never have the balls to say that to anyone. Holy lightning fire!!!
PS: I absolutely LOVED this film! I am an introvert, and appreciated every bit of this! Thank you!
What a simple yet so realistic depiction of the insights of a person who feels disconnected from life and can’t really seem to get out of their thoughts. The thoughts are so overwhelming that its hard for them to convey even the simplest things without any fear.
thought this is scary, nothing more scary than a joyful person who suddenly just suicide
"Sudden" suicide doesn't happen too often. They've just been pretending to be happy for too long.
Yeah, I think about dying too. Not at my job with my coworker who likes me and asks me out on dates though.
Just me at home, by myself, with all my friends and all the people who ever cared about me.
I don't think about killing myself. I don't think about my dead body.
I just think, isn't it sad, all those people who were loved, who had families and friends who died or killed themselves and are missed.
And here's me, using oxygen they could have used.
I know how that feels like. How much you want to escape and wonder what really lies beneath the unopened doors of death. But, the one thing that really pulls me in to this world is the possiblity of happiness which might come one day. I just have a little hope. But even that hope fades sometimes. Please don't do anything that might make your loved ones sad. You matter, and who knows? Maybe one day you look at these days and think to yourself " I was really silly wasn't I ?" And laugh.
@@jennylynch8411 the biggest challenge is trying to convince yourself that day exists
@@insanezombieman753 I agree. It's so hard to fight with that " you're just kidding yourself. That happiness day it's just a lie you don't live in fairytales." Thought.
@@jennylynch8411 Jessica, I have a 24 year old daughter. I constantly try to ensure that she feels comfortable talking to me about ANYTHING because I know it's a tough world out there. Nothing lies beyond "the unopened doors of death." When you are old those doors will be opened for you even though it is very unlikely you will want them to be. You are so young with so many wonderful possibilities and experiences in front of you. Something I got my daughter to do was volunteer to be a score-keeper in the various sports leagues that exist in any decent-sized city. They are overflowing with healthy young men who are mostly single. Whether it's basketball, tennis, volleyball, hockey, etc., they all need a scorekeeper. The male/female ratio is 100% in her favor and she's been asked out on many dates and had several relationships develop from doing it. Please, look into it. I think you'll find it time well spent.
@@Matt_from_Florida hey, thank you for the response. You're a great parent I'm sure about that. And your daughter is very lucky to have you. It seems quite easy for your family to talk about anything but it's very different in where I live with my family. I'll try to talk to them but eventually things will get out of hand. I've tried being in a sports team before and failed many times because I wasn't in a good shape to be a scorekeeper let along a participent of the actual game. I used to just sit on the concrete and watch them play whatever sport they were playing. These couple of months have been very hard for me and I am trying my best to just be a good person towards everyone. And sometimes it just gets very stressful. Thank you so much for the advice I'll try my best to be better.
it's a loop, you are what you think about the most, if you don't break the chain, you inevitably end up like you expect to end
if social anxiety was a person
enneagram type 5 with a 4 wing. My ex boyfriend was very much this way. And so many didn't understand why I was drawn to him. How I could be with someone who couldn't speak, who was so contracted into his own emptiness, who was considered by so many as strange and detached. But he never felt false or shallow to me, which was refreshing and mysterious to me. Even if he struggled endlessly with feeling empty, he was real about it. He was very special to me, and I have yet to meet another soul I felt so deeply close to. These souls require a lot of sensitivity, patience and compassion in order to come out of their shells alittle bit (they never will come out alot, and that is part of their beauty) and share their intense and powerful feelings and ideas with the world. They just need someone to really love them unconditionally.
Then why did you break up?
Some of us struggle just to make it through each day. We hide it very well.
I was getting all anxious so I started reading the comments to calm me down
I hope the film helped in any way, it is definitely a heavy subject
@@augustbelen8026 it it made me think about the power of communication and the lack of it
Her last dialogue "sometimes i think i am bad". This very feeling that is always with people who suffer depression.
There are very quiet, sensitive people all around us but most of us (myself included) are so busy flapping our gums we don't notice them.
The moment we decided as a society not to live with our families simply because we are 18
Is the moment we condemned many of us to be lonely and alone
True, that. Western society has encouraged the dissolution of the extended family, and with it, the alienation of us from our neigbours.
Some people's families are crazy though...just saying

The guy playing Robert is named Jim Sarbh and he was casted in a really big bollywood film. Amazing actor.
I love how patient he was with her. Letting her just be. She had to trust first before letting him closer. And her honesty when she spoke...
I live with thoughts like this every second of my life, with or without medication. In the middle of watching this very relatable video... I got a text from my ex... whom I havent heard from in months, and whom I still love very much. Very odd.... I don't know what to think about it, and I don't know what I should say.
The Wessiah Same man. Only thing is that my ex doesn’t give a crap about me anymore, and there’s no text...
What did you end up doing?
Like how relatable it is been alone for 4yr friends left me living on my own my everyday suicide thoughts are like guest to me.
Jim Sarbh (Robert)... Amazing actor... Truly knows ... the amount and depth of any character he plays... justifying every single space he is in...¶
SOOO depressing, funny ,sad, cute, and askward
I love how at 5:38 and at 10:46 they used the same single word for both moments showing how unfamiliar she is with being valued and wanted. so powerful
Is it just me, or if a guy is feeling this it isn’t noticed as easily? I have had similar thoughts, and I dread the feeling of feeling invisible... I relate to this woman so much ❤️❤️❤️
I cried the whole way through this. It made me realise that the difficulty I have to find words sometimes and the disconnect I feel with the world hasn't gone away, I'm just better at ignoring it. I'm sure a lot of people feel the same. I hope everybody finds a Robert. What a beautiful and touching short!
She made me cry too. She seemed like such a nice girl I wanted someone to notice her so badly and I'm so happy that his intentions were pure. I love them together!!!
he : "so what u do apart from work"
she : " ...... Dying "
This comment is surely underrated.
@@prudebitch6007 and painful ... thx Kaida .
This wonderfully done. Beautifully filmed. Well acted. I love how the text message exchanged is done.The only thing is I get the impression from the movie that she wants to die because she's overwhelmed by loneliness and isolation. If that's the case, does she still want to die when she meets Robert? She doesn't tell him she wants to die but it's so strongly implied. But the audience knows that it's a disaster if she tells him. But I guess it's a disaster if she doesn't tell him. Maybe telling him may save her.
That used to be me. I used to fantasize about death like it’s my end goal in life. Every hour of my day. But then i saw someone else die, all the stages, eyes open, face expresion and it wasn’t anything to fantasize about. I don’t think about it anymore
I hope you're doing well now.
Neelashree Dey ty, trying every day
I work at a place where i skillfully mastered all my tasks. In 3 years i became an expert of what i do that it became so easy. In fact so easy that i could die of boredom. I sometimes find my thoughts drifting while working at my desk, in an office, on the 23rd floor of a building, in a city filled with more high-rise buildings.
And sometimes i think about flying.
Beautifully written! ❤
This was so real...I felt like I was watching myself so much that had to force myself to watch until the end. Wonderfully done!
Bravo to her! Her discomfort genuinely made me uncomfortable. She did a great job.
Balled my eyes out by the end. I can so relate. Powerful in it's subtlety and phenomenal acting. Looking forward to the full length film.
Wow just wow this short reminds me why I need to be alone sometimes just to remember who I really am and not the character I play when I'm with other people
Seems like wanting to die is the norm in this time and age. Feeling exuberance and happy is the exception!
Exceptionally well done and very moving. The pace and quiet really draws you in and what a wonderful actress.
i totally didn't start crying when the last shot showed.
I know this was recommended to me coz I am casually suicidal
Annabelle Chenoweth
U ok?
I hope you are doing better.
I felt so anxious watching this, initially for both of them.. I then worried if he was trying to lure her away to hurt her (or worse).. A reflection of how we manage, the inner dialogue.
I can relate to these people because I have dark thoughts and zero personality. This made me feel better.
I highly doubt the zero personality comment
Hey that's Jim sarbh
The sound on my phone is horrible. When he said towards the end "It's my birthday", I thought I heard her respond by saying "You want to dismember me?".
She is solemn enough that could very easily be the dialogue! Lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
its not just your phone, i'm watching on my laptop and i had to turn on the subtitles to know what they were saying
Seth Jones 🤣
She says " and you want to spend it with me"
After you get used to your depression you become an introvert. That's when whenever you meet another introvert you make a better connection.
@Kurt E. Clothier they're happy because they overcame and got used to their depression and are contempt with being left alone
I hate over thinking about a lot of conversations I have with people I like.
what if Robert was death finally embracing her?
Interesting thought, but I remain with him being a coworker who is also depressed but understanding
Oh no. That’s an interesting interpretation, but so depressing.
Or an angel of love bringing her a little joy ... 🧚♀️
When you have BEEN FOUND by someone ....oh, THE BLISS to be seen! And to have someone WANT to know you. That is TRUE ROMANCE! I LOVE THIS!!!
Damn, she had me glued, each glance and word seemed like pages of untold emotions all locked in and no where to go - much like the star studded faces of Instagram models and the so called beautiful people with a million followers on every social App n still they are lonely. Technology as we know it has created even more lonelier people - the value of friendship n love is reduced to pixels in the App life.
So much for the Afterlife.
This seems less like simple "depression" and more like someone who's endured great trauma and pain, possibly severe abuse. It's why it's so chilling.
I've been here, that place where you can not make words come out of your mouth, where you want so much to connect with a person but there is this block in your head, and your heart, and throat.
I did not expect to see jim sarabh here... Great acting, great script, great direction. A felt good movie in omeleto after a LOOOOOONG time. Thank you for giving me the a sense of fulfillment after watching the movie.
It is a dark and terrifying world out there for people with depression and anxiety. Life could feel like a daily battle... torn between wanting to take her own life, and not having the courage to do so, is painful not only for the protangonist depicted her, but for her partner as well...
over the years i've purposely watched sad short films to learn about certain situation and possibilities and to keep and open mind on other peoples problems.After awhile i started meeting people with more problems and soon i became this person who like I don't know how i can say it when i see someone's true suffering I feel every last bit of there pain and how much they've been hurt and it makes me cry so much there so people in the world who are just so hurt a broken and i can't handle it no one deserves to be alone and just lay there feeling no one's there for them at that why i've sorta become this person who displays their feelings and emotions to people are in pain if i meet some who i can just sense that they feel no one's there for them i'm gonna make it clear as day that i'm a fun sweet loveable person who thinks there existence is amazing I want to let people that i meet know that there important and there is truly TRULY someone out there who wants to talk to you because you look like your quiet and alone this short film reminded me of someone i once knew and i cant help but just cry to know that there are people like this who suffer for some reason
Moment of safety, release, and trust. No judgement. The ultimate falling to your knees in complete surrender/prayer.
*tears, many tears*
Black mirror but real life.
Delightful! Great acting, dialog, directing. In 10 minutes captured my understanding and heart. Well done!
A movie version of this short film is the same title "sometimes i think about dying" directed by rachel lambert - the casting is perfect with much more extended scenes inspired from this short film. A must watch movie if you liked this one. 💯
This was brilliant! So much feeling packed into a few minutes. Left me wanting more.
