i really enjoyed this - didn't realise cooper's acting was so immersive and good

Ong harry stoilez did a great job

I got an add when he was knocked out. It was pizza related. To me this man dreamt of while knocked out. I respect that.

ITS HORRY STOILES AND “THAT AUNT” I EFFING LOVE THIS PAIRING

This was incredibly immersive, as a lover of cinematography, this was incredibly well deserving of all the awards it recieved!

I absolutely loved this- the second watch leaves you realizing and picking up on so much more. Cooper and Gabrielle did amazing on this! If you want an explanation of the ending as I see it, which could or could not be the intention and direction of the film, I'll explain. Don't keep reading if you don't want spoilers :) ~ ~ ~ Basically, I perceive it as follows- the ex never existed. Jack was jealous about Rachel's involvement, however brief, normal, and platonic, with this other guy at the show. When he pulls over, the ex isn't really behind them in his own car. In the wide shot of their car traveling, the ex's car doesn't appear until Jack starts to get possessive. Notice when they're talking to the ex, both the ex and Jack share the mannerism of knowing exactly how long they had been with Rachel. Jack's brain is either spinning him a new story wherein he is not the bad guy, nor the reason that Rachel is dead, or he was actively hallucinating during the murder, but I'm leaning towards the first option. He would've then killed Rachel, and you only see him dragging one body. This seems like a cinematography choice, but in the context of the ex never existing, there would only be one to drag away regardless. His brain likely buries the trauma of this event, which is initially perceived by the viewers as amnesia from the ex- who we now know (in theory) does not exist- causing blunt force trauma to his head. He begins to get increasingly paranoid and confused as he begins to remember little things, and realizing that they didn't play out how we had seen, and that he was not the hero- in fact he is the main antagonist to this story, to Rachel and her untimely end, and ultimately, to himself. This is something that I think that he comes to terms with in the ending shot when he is presumably looking at Rachel's body in some form. He doesn't believe it at first, once again trying to think of a way in which it wasn't his fault, when he begins to realize that he was the villain. In the end, you can tell that he has accepted his fate, succumbing to a psychosis that had previously shown as jealousy and presumably envy. I believe that he would've seriously ruined his life after that, whether intentionally or accidentally, but wouldn't care. He is now a completely different person than who we had seen throughout the film, even when we see the events as they truly happened.

I recently discovered cooper, I hadn't knwon him from tiktok or anything, and he came up on my reccs on youtube. I watched the video and instantly started watching more. Cooper is so funny, and has such similar humor to me, and so I have been watching all of his videos. What I found out a few days ago was that he was a film student. I'm 17 and I plan on going to college for film and TV. This short film was s cool, and so well done. The way coopers facial expression changed at the end was so smooth, and natural, it takes so long so master something like that. The other people in this short were amazing as well, I think that college films like this are one of my favorite things to watch and I think it deserves everything that it got. I'm glad that I can have this little gem that has less than 25k views to myself, so that when I show it to others, it'll be something new to them, and not something they've seen. This inspires me so much to continue my passion in film and hopefully make it my living. the psychology of this film is outstanding, and the work that went into it with how little people worked on it. It's beautiful and I can't wait to share it with others :)

Omg I need to know more! What’s under the door?! Is Rachel under the door? We only saw drag away the psycho ex. Who is the ghost guy that just disappeared?! Has he killed before and it’s so traumatic that he forgets just like this time? So many questions 😭😭😭

I just can't stop coming back to watch this over and over again. The acting, cinematography, twists, etc., AMAZING. Seriously the greatest short film I've ever watched.

Wow this is actually really excellent, it's cool seeing a different side to cooper/seeing him act compared to his casual react-style videos nowadays.

Wow wow WOWZA! This was so awesome! Absolutely loved everyone's acting. I was completely enthralled by them. Diego really showed his talents in this production. He deserves Oscar's Best Director. Also you and Gabrielle on screen together always makes me happy, it's so tense 🤩. All around applause and love for everyone involved. Can't wait to see more 🤯🧡

This is so awesome. I love how real the dialogue is, like it has little pauses and breaks and moments that make it feel dramatic but not in a showy, acting kind of way. The same goes for the facial expressions, they are not over done to an extent where they feel exaggerated or fake, they feel genuine. A truly fantastic short film!

OMFG GABS CHASE!!! NOT WHO I WAS EXPECTING!

I haven't even finished this yet and it is so good!! Well done on everything! Especially the duologue..very real sounding especially in the car stuff!

I'm just sitting here rewatching Coopers old videos and was so shocked seeing freaking GABRIELLA! I really didn't even know they knew each other, let alone mad a short film together

i think the ending meant he killed her on purpose and not accidentally ..he was a little too possessive in the beginning but was a little friendlier with the ex which kind of gives off a vibe that the man was made up or maybe a figment of imagination so yeah basically i think that story was a lie

DAMNNNNN- that was a good ass film. And props to Cooper for the great acting🙌

I was confused by the last scene. He went from upset to completely blank? Loved Gabriella Chase

This is soo good! Congratulations to you and your co-stars/team!

truly an incredible short film the camera work, plot, acting, and lighting are all so amazing!!

I love when, at first I hate a character and then I can’t help but root for them because there’s another character that I hate even more. It’s my favorite.

Cooper's acting is much more versatile in this then it was in Scarecrows (still a great film, btw!) It is easy to see how passionate he is about what he does. Sorry, I'm late commenting, but I just subscribed a few weeks ago

this film feels like a modern spin on The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe (I won’t spoil but there are some v significant story beats that would be in the center of a vent diagram of this film and that story.) special shout-out to the sound design! The bumping of the road while jack & rachel are arguing sounded like heartbeats(& with the Poe lens- this choice can read as a nod to the story & possible foreshadowing.) Really well done & super spooky. The face shift in the last frame is also so haunting omg. Everyone did an amazing job!!! 🌹🌹🌹

damn dude your facial expressions are everything. the pace of your speech, the cinematography, everything. muah

HOLY SHIT you are an amazing actor cooper, wonderful job👏👏👏👏

congratulations!! This is, no doubt, great noteworthy filmmaking 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 💯

Love it 😍 I want to watch more of it!

people know him as a commentary channel now, but the ogs were here for this masterpiece :)

Danggggg my dudes!!! Loved this! Left me wanting more!

Omg as soon as they both pulled over i was like nooooo no no this is wrong

Great to see you king but WHAT to see Gabs here is a whole another level of happiness

Im soooooooo impressed! omg this was so good! That plot twist was EVERYTHING like WHAT

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING

his voice is so much like Cole sprouse and he’s giving those vibes OMG

Why is this plot idea actually pretty dope tho??? Like there were some good twists in this!

Ohhhh! Well, I am so glad i stumbled across this! 😮 Cooper your acting was amazing! Really immersing, loved it. ❤

I’ve been watching Cooper for about a year now, seen almost all his videos, love his shorts, and I’ve had to work myself up to watching this. It is so good, but also really “scary”. Gave me too tale heart vibes.

I love cooper’s acting skills!! Just wow!! ❤❤❤😍😍😍😌

That Gabrielle woman is an amazing actress

This is sooo goodd omgg i felt like i was watching something on Netflix or something very well made guyss

There has to be more!! Sooo good!!! Omgosh!!

Great acting. I love your funny stuff but this is incredible work.

Absolutely fantastic.

Ohhh shit 🫥 very unsettling, well done to all you guys!!!!!!! 👏 👏👏👏👏

This is amazing. I can not believe for 1. That THIS is the same guy with the now long hair, and cute flower sweaters lol. Don't get me wrong! I love how he looks now. I am just saying it's a stark difference from this to now. This is a character though, so, yeah there is also that. For 2. the SAME guy Directed, filmed, AND EDITED this entire short film...WHAT?...It does not seem that way at ALL. The guy is freaking TALENTED. Cooper's acting is amazing, and I remember seeing Gabbie from YT shorts. I don't get on TikTok. She is really funny in her vids. VERY pretty girl!

I’m getting feeling he has multiple personalities and it wasn’t an accident. Sam was actually just him. Maybe? Theory? Idk lol

i like how his mind became tainted at the end, i liked that alot

ZOO WEE MAMA!!! THIS IS SO WEE MAMA IT DOESNT EVEN NEED A ZOO

This was amazing can't stop reapplying it. that ending omgggggg.

WOAH thats crazy good short film, I cannot believe how good the acting is on this.

only 56k views? this is amazing, it deserves way more!

Really put the film in film cooper

Very impressive work. Bravo on a stellar project. 🏆

Dayum Cooper! That was great. Loved it!

I love these kinds of short films (though I wish it was full-length) because I don't know enough to know who to root for. In the beginning, I'm all for Cooper's character's side and despised the ex in the brief time we had with him. On re-watch, I still don't like the ex but also don't like Cooper's character much either. Still lowkey confused about the plot but that, too, is why I like it.

@FilmCooper ❤Absolutely beautiful job. Seriously, I’ve spent time behind the “indie lens”, and you all made yourselves a little mighty masterpiece…the combination of perfect pacing/buildup, careful consideration of viewer perspective, mind-bending practical effects, and I could go on. Bravo to everyone involved! Long shot, but would love to lend a hand with future endeavors *comment quietly fades into obscurity* lol I shot my shot😅 Much love and respect, Vi

dude I'm just now rewatching this and wow, I forgot how good this was

I wish this was all in his mind, the crazy ex, the detective. I think jack was jealous that Rachel was talking to the other guy at the gala. He imagined he got rear ended, you can’t see a car in the rear view mirror when the get in the ‘crash’. He knows the amount of time him and Rachel have been dating, down to the day, and uses that to feel superior when Sam is talking about how long he was with Rachel. The only reason both of them say the exact number of days is because Jack is imagining this entire interaction. He imagines that Sam is there and is harassing Rachel . He blacks out and as he comes to he picks up a gun and goes to find Rachel who is in the field. In his mind Sam is attacking Rachel physically, punching her etc. but when we wee him laying down after shooting, Sam is far away from them. He shoots rachel because he thought there was someone else there, he thought he was protecting her. But then he realized he shot the ‘wrong’ person, he shoots ‘Sam’ too. We only see Jack drag away one body in the flash back sequence , though that could be a cinematic decision, it would’ve been easy to shoot two shots of him carrying out both bodies. He wakes up at home and imagines this detective who takes him back to the scene of the crime. He slowly remembers what happened and what he did. The detective says “you did this to protects US” symbolizing that they are the same person. Why would he be protecting a random detective he has never seen before. He doesn’t remember anything when the detective shows up. The detective is representing the ‘logical’ part of his memory. Having him dig into his memory to remember everything that happened that night. The part of his brain that is suppressing this event is represented by jack and the logical portion is represented by the detective

It's so fun to see Cooper go serious. Amazing job!

Holy crap that was phenomenal

Aweee it’s like Identity had a baby. Good job little John Cusack.

COOPER OMG THAT WAS SO GOOD I LOVE YOU AND YOURE BEAUTIFUL

DIS SHOULD BE A MOVIE OMGGGG

super well done so impressed w the talent, hard work and skill of young film makers and actors. pretty sure True Detective had a bigger budget but this is just as good and makes middle America so creepy and eerie i had to pause it three times just to get through (great music and lighting yikes). Hope I can sleep tonight
