Thanks! All credit goes to Lydia Ashton (www.lydiaashton.tv) for the emotional heart in the score! She composed blind too... didn't even get to see the footage before we put it in.

Just now noticed "the brothers" picture at the beginning. Very well done, and obviously clearer in this extended version.
Daros Films 1 month ago

Yes, the redone beginning and ending were mostly for clarity sake. Thanks!

I wish I can do it!

BTW, what did you use to shoot this? By any chance what camera was used? I gather this is a really professional shoot!!!!
Daros Films 5 months ago

We used a Panasonic HVX200 with a Brevis35 lens adapter and Nikon primes. So glad you enjoyed it!

mezza001 1 month ago

Its a deal!!! You have just inspired and urgency in me to do a short film!

I just hope it can be even a fraction of what you all did here!!
Kudos to all at Daros Film!!!!!

Our director for this (and my co-writer) and I decided that when we get together to write, we keep coming up with maudlin plots until we can't stand it anymore... otherwise we're both happy, well-adjusted guys.

Thank you! We've got more short films lined up.. just trying to fit them in between post production on our feature (Greyscale) and pre-prod on our next one.

Chris Offner 2 months ago

Wow... I'm very impressed - this is the best short I've seen for quite some time and one of the very best I've every seen!
Thank you so much for this film. Just a couple of days ago my girlfriend and I talked about how she would love to freeze time in moments of perfect happiness... I'll have to share this with her and my friends.

By the way, I agree with HappyCatFilms - I like this version better than the 3-minute-cut as well.
Daros Films 1 month ago

Thank you! Sometimes we feel like we shot ourselves in the foot having 2 versions, mostly because people stopped judging it on its own but instead started to weigh in on which version they liked better. But it's nice to know the extra effort (making it 4 minutes) is appreciated. :)

Anybody have any ideas why we've gone from ~15 views a day to ~230?? Has this been featured somewhere?
Susanna Celso 1 month ago

Wow. That's all I can say. Brilliant. And as for the jump in views, all I know is that I found it through StumbleUpon...
Daros Films 1 month ago

Cool, thanks for the heads up! It's starting to ramp up to 500 and I was curious. Glad you liked it!
Wally Alarcon 1 month ago

I just saw this and cried. I never seen anything so touching in so long. Really, one of the best short films I seen in hella long. Found this through stumbleupon as well.

Kyle Hagan 1 month ago

This is the best short I have ever seen. Found it through while stumbling (the user anitab is responsible for getting you so many daily views). I love this extended cut more, because of the great attention to small details you throw in. Also, wonderful acting. I feel like in lots of shorts, the acting is terrible. Every actor seemed fully in their roll.

Awesome video, great storyline, and real acting! I joined vimeo just to leave you a wonderful comment and I will check back on your vimeo page to see if you do some more. I hope other aspiring film makers take notes from you and reproduce something half as amazing as yours.

Thanks

I wonder why this short wasn't an immediate favourite - I fell immediately in love with in after watching it, and up till now (a day later), I'm still getting the chills down my spine everytime I reach the ending - so sad and yet so soulful.

I'm glad that Jack finally met his wife. *wipes misty eyes*

And I love the sub-message that this video conveys - usually the photographers who take photos don't have much having themselves in it, do they?

I've never watched such a touching work before. It moved me right from the very bottom of my heart. This is one fine short, brilliant work!

The music was beautifully composed - I can't believe that Lydia composed it blind, and yet her piece manages to lend so much feeling to the film *thumbs up*

this is completely awesome, so simple and yet so moving... what is this shot in?
Joseph Hutson 20 days ago

We shot this on the HVX-200 with Cinevate's Brevis 35mm adapter. For lenses, we used the Nikon Prime Lenses. 50mm/85mm were used the most.

Keep making great films. We need filmmakers like you who arn't afraid to break out of the strictly Christian Genre and make films that appeal to "normal" people.
