Lad in the red shirt is a wonderful person... But he seems like he may have also experienced depression. He's way too optimistic and positive, while his roommate is having a meltdown. He seems to expect it, and know exactly what to do.

When a introvert meets an extrovert

I hated his friend at first, but now I realise I need someone like him.

'I don't know how to laugh, doctor semen.'

The guy in the red may be harsh, but he's a true god damn friend.

"kidnaps every single depressed person in the world"

The opening has to be the best portrayal of the worst type of "therapy" I've ever seen.

His friend realized before anyone else, that his depression was more circumstancial that clinical. If we could dig deeper, his friend had some experience at some point in his life. We all have a friend like this, if we look close enough.

this acting is gold

Everyone needs a friend who can tape you and drive you to the beach at some point in your life.

as a person that overcame depression, went back at it, and it's starting to overcome it again, i really love this video. Thank you so much for portraying it in such a beautiful way.

I felt like the friend was representative of the internal struggle with depression. I suffer from serious depletion and anxiety and the two guys in this reminded me of my own internal conflict. One part has just given up and just wants to allow life to happen to me good or bad it doesn’t matter because nothing matters because my chronic physical illnesses mean I have no point, no future past bringing up my kids and maybe they would be better without a mother who can’t get herself together mentally and is becoming more and more physically frail and then there is the other part of me who can see what needs to happen to improve my situation, who can see the devastation my children would suffer should their mother give up on herself and them, the part of me that gets so frustrated with the part that isn’t capable of seemingly simple tasks. The two parts of me are at war like the friends through the first half of the film and the second part of the film is what finding a good medication, therapy service, support worker and asking for help and seeing that there are people who love me and want to help me any way they can does for you, it calms the war and finds a path of compromise between the sides of myself just like the last scene of the film. I have no idea if this was the film makers intent but it has resonated with me and I will keep it in mind on the path of recovery/management I’m on. Keep on keeping on all who share my path and support us on the path.

I like the subtlety of miles wearing a shirt with a first aid symbol

actually the awesome dude in red is more depressed than the other one

I got goosebumps when the depressed guy threw his hoodie/old life.

"you need to commit to being happy like it's a full time job, okay?" -Miles to Charlie what a good and true friend

straightest gay couple ever.

This guy got over depression in 1 day, it's been 7 years and I can't find my cure. I have no friends at all let alone a friend to save me.

A really depressed person wouldn’t even talk or discuss with his friend. That is why it is so difficult to be helped.

Don't ask for a Myles in your life, be the Myles in someone else's.

If this were a movie it be a great comedy/drama

Yeah people who are depressed shouldn't avoid friends but should instead do the opposite

Miles is like cold water. Handling the depression another way than he is used to changed Charlie's point of view. He could slowly but surely see...like a sunset. Miles didn't abuse the situation at all, so Charlie could build up trust again and realise Miles' seriousness about his urge to support him. Wonderful shortfilm.❤

Red shirt looks just like and reminds me of someone I knew for a very short time- always optimistic and positive and the funniest person I knew, but he was struggling with depression. Hoping and wishing he continues to bless the lives of people he crosses paths with.

This makes me feel some type of way I can't explain...not happy nor sad just a type of way that I've never felt. This sends a message that I understand but can't explain. This is great. Keep up the good work.

I know how the depressed guy feels. I hate when people don’t understand no matter how bad it feels to literally want to die. It’s hard to live with that, trust me. It’s not as easy as sleeping normally or getting out normal. It takes more than that..when you deal with a severe depression no matter what you do it just won’t go away.

this is an example of true friendship

"You need to commit to being happy like it's a full time job". SOOOO true. We can't expect pills or people to fix us. We have to be willing to put in the work.

"You're not movin very fast haha" GOLD

I wish I had a friend like that. Someone who cared if I felt bad.

Twenty-two minutes of absolute gold. Trying to deal w the loss of a fur baby & needed this kind of smile today. Blessings!!!

Dark theory: he really does stab him and the rest is Charlie imagining what would of been had he not killed him.

If only we all had a Miles in our life....

I wish I had a friend like that twenty years ago. Might have saved me a couple of lost decades, and you just don't get those years back. You see some people only respond to tough love, yet very few have the fortitude, compassion, desire, skill, and discipline to provide it in a consistant, productive manner.

A person with depression all they need is a positive side of they self & a friend

It is rare to find such a friend with the guts to kick you up the area to reboot you into realizing that you are responsible for your happiness. Many years ago I should have tried to do this with both my brother and brother in law. No guarantee of success of course. Both died young wasting their lives away. But I could have tried more.

Now ,I shall kidnap my friend too... 🙄

If i have frd like that then.. I won't feel alone forever

This is what I mean when I say check on your depressed friends.

"There's no chicks at the wedding, guess what? Dance with the grandmas." Best advice ever

The conversation during the credits though XD This was very heartwarming. Definitely made me cry

I fought depression for years. Ever since I was 8. This made me think on it all. I'm not going to get in a story on how this happened but, it took me until this age, 24, to learn how to defeat it. It's just loving yourself. When no one will do it for you, just love yourself.

I struggle with depression myself. Ive been on anti-depressants for a few years now, and they help. But his friend wasnt wrong. They didnt fix my problem, they just gave me a nudge in the right direction. It took a willingness to confront myself and a lot of concious effort to dig myself out of the hole. Good short.

That would be me and my brother right there. He'd be quiet and uncertain about his future and I try to give advice and confidence while trying to lift his spirits. And just like them we both had our own struggles and hardships in life, but we both overcame them in our own different ways.

I needed this. I wish I had a friend like that

Sometimes you need one good moment to forget all the bad ones.

"Yes it will help!!! Chinchillas are SUPER SOFT!!!!!!"

I think this movie is about we as a friend to support those who suffer from depression. In the beginning, you see he went to the doctor but gets a "bad" treatment and become more depressed. We see how the doctors give advice "to go outside", "be positive" etc like a lot of people out there telling advise to depressed people. Its not about the kidnapping to cure depression but it's about a friend who make real action to help his friend, even though it's hard even though he's being blame, he helps by being there not just telling useless advice.

I genuinely have been struggling to get through the past few years not knowing what to do. This, this video actually made me happy. Thank you, so so much

My philosophy has always been. "No one can make you happy, you choose to be happy yourself, or you can choose to not be happy. Blaming anything or anyone else, for Your state of happiness. Is you avoiding responsibility for the choice you made."

As someone who's been thrown under the bus by everyone I gave and did everything for, stressed, depressed, health failing. This helped me. Thank you. :)

Depression is hard, man. Many don't even have friends.

I didn’t cry until he said tweeter

I needed this today

Sometimes all you need is one person in your corner. Just one. I have yet to find that person, but when you all do, hold on to them tightly.

people out there wishing for friends like that, you'll get there. I honestly wish anyone would meet such a friend from the start. For me it has taken alot of time, but I believe there's that friend in life, you'll meet!

If not for sticking it out until the end, I would have disagreed with every single thing Miles did until he covered his ass before sunrise. I guess that was intentional. Well-played, filmmakers.

Omeleto need to make these short films a little longer, very great films

RIP guy in red, he got nothing to lose and uses that opportunity to make his friend happy :'(

As much as I hated Miles at first, I think he really gets it. Sometimes we all need a Miles in our lives when we're down in the dumps. I have gotten a lot better since last year due to therapy which was long overdue. Finally I found a form of therapy that suits me, and the meds that I've been taking for a few years now keep me stable enough. At the moment I am pretty down again, but this time, I know things will get better. And sometimes there isn't anything you can do to cheer yourself up. And that's ok. Sometimes it just takes time. To all my fellow people who have struggled with depression at some point in their life, maybe for 20 years like me or maybe just for a little while, things will get better. Trust me. But in the end, you will have to be the one to make changes. If you want it enough, you can find happiness again. And sometimes, a little bit of help from others, a fun hobby, therapy, medication (all of these combined, or one or two, whatever suits you best) combined with giving yourself time to adjust to a new phase in life, things will eventually be ok. Hang in there, lovely people.

One Hellava way to start my day...in a good way...great episode. Authentic friendships are hard to find and isolation feeds depression. I know b/c I'm both a person suffering with chronic double-depression and a Qualified Mental Health Professional having previously worked as a mental health & substance abuse clinician in both the public and private sectors. There is no one size "cures" all depression and unfortunately I do believe some people have what I call "end-stage depression" as a terminal disease model; however, if you live with depression like I do there is no shame in reaching out for help...even by calling 911. Just keep holding on to any single thread that keeps you in this universe. Truth be told, if it were easy then everybody could do it, but you have a duty to at least try...

I hv depression so this is amazing.. I try I tried and I will keep on trying

That's a really good friend, went a little crazy there but it was a really thoughtful gesture.

this guy is the best friend you could ever ask for

I liked the dialogue at the end lol

nice story.. if you found that you're alone, then get up and go out .. there's so many positive vibes out there or new friends for a bonus..love it! 😘😘

I'd rather have someone be harsh, not serious, spit the truth in my face than someone who will pity me and spread toxic positivity. Yea, the truth will hurt but it's something that makes you think about making actual changes. As human beings we need each other and the more we stay alone with our thoughts and feelings, it's bad for us. I'm trying to do all of this alone but it's tough. I want to heal and once when I do that I want to make everyone else who feels sad better about themselves. I also want to thank to all of the people who worked on this short film, it's eye opening and one of the best I've ever watched.

amazing clothing choices. miles is wearing red and charlie is wearing purple and green, the opposite wavelength of red and the opposite on the color wheel respectively

I’m guessing 1/2 u guys stoped watching when he “killed” his roommate

a friend like this is one of the greatest gifts one can get in this life!

Depression kicks you when you're down. It curb stomps you when you try to get up. It sucks all the oxygen out of the room when you just need a breath. This video is a decent portrayal of that. Everyone should have a friend like Miles.

I wish I had a roommate like that.

theres no cure, but there is a way of getting stronger in the fight against it

When he asked his friend if he knew what it feels like to give up for real. I felt his pain. Mental illness is no joke. It’s painful. It’s scary. I know. My heart went out to him. I’ve been there more times I would like to count.

Totally unorthodox way to break that guy out of the depression. Having struggled with it on and off for most of my life, I can tell you that Miles will have to continually work on helping him because it doesn't go away just like that. He'll need to learn that happiness is a choice you have to make every time, ESPECIALLY when something bad happens, and that one of the most powerful medications to fight it is social situations that you enjoy. Depressed people who are alone are always at risk if they don't have a good medication, especially when the situation gets terrible. Learn to think optimistically. Change the way you think!

It's crazy to say that I was the same way for those 2 characters at different times in my life. However, depression never really went away. It's always still there but I always try to combat it with trying to do things that feel good, hike in the mountains to see the sunset, talk to strangers, have a solid morning and night routine to take care of myself. But its always still there every single day

If only I had a friend willing to go to this length to help me

I was anxious until the reveal at the end and then my heart kinda melted. That's a true friend right there

you can never be happy if your sad all the time. that is what i live by and i am so glad i came across this.

Running away all taped up "dude you're not running very fast" I just lost it right there😂

FIGHT DEPRESSION

This was such a pretty short film. I would like to think that I'm like the happier friend, i'm carefree, positive, HAPPY with myself, but i also know about being depressed. Sometimes people just need others to actually listen to them, and I'm glad I do that for my friends. Also, at the end i thought he was going to say that they were just going to have to wait for the sunset there lol. beautiful film! :D

Yet another beautiful life lesson. Be that friend who steps in even if it’s uncomfortable.

That's A Real Friend Right There.

I like how after pulling out a knife hw just talks normal and the guy with depression had a scared face still

I've been depressed for quite a while but my and my friends' senses of humour is the only thing which keeps me from breaking down every day.

Okay, so whenever I become depressed in any way I come back to this film. Hell; I come back to this film when I want to feel near anything, if I want to laugh or cry this film does both. This film has effected me immensely. I won’t ever say that the way depression is handled in this film is perfect, it’s a case by case scenario. Seeing a positive relationship become a driving force for healing; even when the relationship struggles and the two clash it builds more foundation to harbor even more. I love the quote specifically “if there’s no hot chicks at the wedding dance with the grandmas.” I’m more thankful for this film than one May imagine. It’s an absolute masterpiece

Sometimes the most broken individual is the happiest, masking an inconceivable amount of pain and sorrow to tread on everyday with the hope to find a certain serenity within himself and others.

I think we all need a friend like that in our life.

I have seen a lot of videos and this, I think, is the best I have watched till now from Omleto. It was funny, yet emotional and also inspiring. Depressed or not, we all need a friend like this in our life. So, those who are already there can come out of it and those who aren't there yet, can stay out of it, like before. Great work guys!

I just noticed that at the end when he says "next year we go to the east cost" means a lot since he was trying to unalive himself, but now he is even making plans for the future.

I honestly have no idea how I even got to this channel but thank goodness. Quarantine has been rough and I really felt this on a super deep lever as I deal with my own depression. Thanks for great story telling!

Spend more time with friends, spend more time by yourself. Yeah I've been through that level of psychology.

I know what it's like to want to take that way out. I find that channeling all of my feelings through music and writing is the best way to get me through the day. There's been days where I never left the house because I felt so bad, but I couldn't stop writing.

I remember seeing this video a couple years ago. I was really depressed at the time, suicidal even. Now I’m on the other end of it and I understand this video so much more. This is powerful stuff

"Trydicklicks??" That had me busting up.

Someone please kidnap me.

Im both of them. I have depression. I suffered for years and after a while i realized that if i made joke amd made others happy. It made me feel good. I want to help other out of depression. While doing that it will probably get rid of my depression to.

Let's see, I've been molested, burned, punched, and strangled by my own parents and uncle from the time was little, but I'll be Damned if I let them win. People say All the time, I am super positive...kind and nice. I am. I MAKE that $HI# happen. Reset daily. It helps to reset..and Look for the oppotunities to F'in smile..and make others smile. Can't see it? Not there? Expect it to show the heck up. Heck yeah..I cry when life gets too freakin' much..get it out..then keep going. Gotta expect the joy to find ya. . Be the goofball. Feel the beautiful. It's there. Even in/after the ugliest ugliness. I know. I promise. Be Blessed, Dearhearts💗
