This is really, truly lovely. I long for more stories and films with this kind of depth and heart, ones that don't assume the audience are full of idiots needing every single thing hammered into their heads. You trust your audience to understand subtlety and nuance, and that's so refreshing. Thank you for sharing your art with us, Mike. It's a rare gem and I'm so glad I had a chance to watch it.

Didn't know what to expect but had my expectations nicely subverted anyway!

Just very simple and the ethereal nature of the actress permeates the whole short.

I'm kinda of interested in the caretaker, something about him seemed interesting.

Appreciate the share!

Thank you for this, such depth and elegance in a little over eight minutes. A beautiful film!

I love it. The caretaker is listening to modern music? 🧐

Glorious. Watched and then immediately had to show the wife and daughter. It just shows that there are deeper truths sometimes

Loved it. Typical MMS twist too. I saw this on the BBC today and it reminded me of "More Tomorrow". https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-68673390

Damn, that was good! So much so that I sent it to Sarah's oldest friend, Venita, who makes shorts and has just finished a long. And she wrote back immediately: "It was wonderful! One of the best shorts I've ever seen (with the kind of twist I always go for). Than you so much or sharing it!!! I'd love to see (read) more of his work." So (please note correct grammatical usage) here's another thing: as she's such a dear friend to both of us, I've just given her a year's sub to your stack and sent her a be-careful-what-you-wish-for note.
