My teacher used this in his college class and it made me cry. This is so well done

This is sacrilege - how can a landlord charge $20,000 a month? That's extortion. I hope the landlord gets arrested and jailed. I'm glad they at least have another location, and I pray for the employees who cannot be switched to that location. Important story, amazing video. Thank you.

This resonated with me on so many levels having worked at 2 family restaurants in my 20's that closed, still friends with most of the employees, the warm atmosphere in his restaurant created by food and love and I have been living in Vietnam for the past 7 years and love sui cao, dim sum...this scenario has played out all over Vietnam in the last year and a half....much respect to the private business owners and the services they provide!

how do you not have more subscribers? these videos are really amazing! you're gonna do big things

Hard work and dedication for 35 years, great job. God Bless You.

A touching, human story. What a wonderful man, the owner. Loved this film.

I always enjoyed short films like this, I can't believe I didn't see it for all these years haha. The place you described shows a pretty amazing story which you conveyed perfectly :>

This is the third time I'm watching this film. Next month I'm doing a workshop with young people. and possibly they will watch this film just to get an idea about a short documentary film.

Watched this to review for my Multimedia class, I loved it and it really embodied the emotions being portrayed. Well done telling this story.

impactful storytelling man. it is such a powerful gift to allow people to speak and for you to share simple yet beautiful stories such as this.

I’m late to comment but, i just came across this today. GREAT job on the documentary! I love the salute from the owner at the end.

dexter man, ur amazing. these are going somewhere, really impressed with the quality

dang thats one hell of a short docu it real, intimate, moving, happiness, all wrapped into one totally loved it

I just crossed by this 6 years old short and i have to say. Nice job! The simplicity leads the mood and you told the story objectivly but woth emotion.

Brilliant. So sad to hear of the greed of the land Lord. $20,000 per month is theft !!! Absolutely ridiculous.

Great documentary! Love it!

Hey Dexter! Your video's quality is great. +1 subscriber! Can't believe you only have 815 subs. Someday soon, people will know you. Keep up the good job!

Lovely work Dexter. Look forward to more!

Great work here! Keep it up and you are going to be doing some really big things very soon!

Good stuff. Did you know the owner before hand? How much in advance did you plan the interviews? Great job capturing the sense of family and the loss everyone felt.

Uma equipe com alto rendimento, educação com clientes, persistência etc

that landlord should be cancelled

this is lovely

Thank you for sharing!

Wow man this is amazing. I’m just getting into this field but I was curious, about how long did this project take altogether?

What camera did you use for this film ?

What did you record this with

Can i ask, what's the model of your camera?

damn 30+ years and its still not paid off yet? That's corruption there...

What camera you shot this with?

How do you achieve this color grade 😩?

Shoulda sued the landlord or threatened to. 20,000 a month is unreasonable

Did he just say $20,000 a month for rent???!!!

$20k a month no wonder nyc is turning into a ghost town

Hello Dexter It would have been an excellent film if you had used too correctly. When Wesley Law said ”Me too” you spelled it “Me to”. It just destroyed the whole film.

You hear this story over and over again …. Landlord’s wants to get rich and out goes a great long time member of the community … this country has gone to shit and it will never recover despite Republican lies to make it great again …. Our great times are behind us … it is now every man for himself as the rich get richer …
