I was thinking, it's a one minute time machine..😁😆😆😆😅😅😆

I really liked the guy's acting, like a LOT, so good and natural, and then I found out he was the director!!!

🥰I used to love paying random people compliments and watching their faces light up. Truth is I was so down and out, suffering from severe depression... It was a difficult time for me. Those little sparks of love and joy really helped get me through some dark days, and made new friends too.

I was hoping that when she went to get into the box to get more Post-it notes at the end, there would actually be a severed head in the box. It really would’ve brought the whole story together.

Ladies: Always ask the cute guy what's in the box. Men: Always carry a box.

Introverted me: *sees the guy* *wants to tell him to sit down* *freaks out* *says nothing and avoids eye contact* Movie ends there lol

Love the originality! Positive and inspiring message. Let’s have more.

I’ve watched this like once a year for the past 3 years and I still am amazed by the beauty of this film. Dialogue is perfect, the shots are beautiful and audio is amazing. Thank you for inspiring me and others into filmmaking!

Elroy looks like a "made in china" version of a Tom Cruise.

Last post it: can I have your number? Girl " oh, uh now. I have a boyfriend." Cut to black

No-one commented on how amazing the girl's hair was! Such a beautiful shade of red!

With a very jealous heart, I say this is absolutely brilliant. The lady's face was so vibrant and really suited the character Great writing👏👏

This put a massive smile on my face! Partly because of the idea that these 2 people are about to have this amazing relationship that started all because she asked him what was in the box

The actor who played Elroy was really authentic and genuine. Like he behaved like a normal person in a normal situation but expressed his character's emotion and isn't that what acting is all about?

This woman, hears something nice about a stranger's now deceased mother, and decides to carry the torch unprompted, reaching out to and inspiring the stranger who was clearly not having the best day. Not many people like that.

The video beautifully describes the effect of social media on real-life, people comment on others even if they don't know them, and most of the time comments are heartbreaking. The writer encourages people to refine their remarks.

is it just me or does anyone else want to actually do this right now? :)

Expected twist ending: Elroy really did have head in box.

"What's in the box?" "a Cat" "does it alive or ... "both" Girl : *existential crisis*

Dude gonna be devastated when he finds out that she has a boyfriend.

At first I thought to myself, wow, thats one awkward dude, but then he said his mom just died, it threw me away, that explains his absent mind, and why he's being disoriented, my mom died 4 months ago, I totally get it, the dialogue is genius, and the acting is amazing. Well done 👌🏻

If we all could be so comfortable with each other the world would be a million times more amazing than it already is!!!!!!--

I've seen this multiple times. It still brings tears to my eyes! It's beautiful!! 😍 💯

Kid : dad how u met mom? Dad: well son, she and I were just playing post it

omg i just remembered how my mom would leave post-its on my desk before she go work to encourage me studying SAT! Thank you director!

if only the average person sitting in public was really that nice and friendly to complete strangers.

Back in 2015 I did something similar to this, first it started as notes scribbled on paper then I found out that post its are an easier way to do it. I wrote a nice message and gave it to a stranger. It's usually on the bus, the train, a park or just walking by. I never said a word other than "This is for you" with a smile. Never really wanted anything in return and I never really talked to any one I gave those notes to, I usually just walked away and never looked back.

Such a beautiful skit ! Woah that girl character was just amazing .Small things matter in life.

I'm very happy to announce that "Post It" has been picked up by Pacific Voice Inc. for distribution in Japan! I love Japan so much and it's an honor to know my short film will be translated to reach a wider audience there! Thank you, Pacific Voice Inc.!

I tried sticking a note on a police officer and went to court. I tried sticking a note on the judge which said nice wig and I got 2 months community service but still though nice video

Loved this film. What a beautiful message! I am totally amazed at the work of the writer!

This made me laugh and cry within 6 minutes. You can just be good at what you do. This is effective storytelling. I wish I saw more of this in the films I see in the cinema. A story that wastes no time, clearly didn't cost a fortune, but is well acted and evokes feelings. Well done mate. I'm no film maker but I know what I like and this is it.

Wow, two people talk to each other at a bus stop, without a smart phone in sight. Unbelievable in 2019

When i go into the kitchen, and my dad is chopping onions, i cry so much. I miss onions. He was a good puppy

this was a brilliant watch, i just stumbled upon this. i absolutely love this. 2023 needed something like this, thank you. formaking it in the first place

Not only a short film, but an inspiration! Beautiful, loved it!

“What’s in the box?” **Brad Pitt has entered the chat**

I tried this today. Going on a highly frequented street and handing over Post Its to complete strangers. It‘s more difficult, than you might expect: 1. Identify something positive about somebody, you honestly want to give compliments about 2. Writing it down on a post it note and delivering it quickly enough before that person is already gone. The reactions were interesting: first, they were mostly sceptical: „who is that? Why is he approaching me? What does he want from me?“ But after just sticking that post it, people began to read and a small smile appeared on their face. This method is good for two things: 1. To identify and focus on the positive things by watching strangers. Besides, it improves your mindfulness and appreciation. 2. To establish connections among people, showing respect and appreciation and abandoning the alienation of modern society.

This is a really beautiful and sweet short film! Great job, good aesthetics too 🌼

A perfect exercise for life, find something good to "post" about people! Good for them, great for your spirit!

It would seriously been great if it was a Human head.

My mom goes to work too. When I wake up for school she'd be gone too. But she never left me post it's she left me a nice warm breakfeast on the table with her love ;)

Excellent story with a great moral. We can really change the world if we are committed to it.

My post-it: "This was great!" ❤️🙂 A big applause from Italy to everyone 👏👏👏👏👏

I loved this. I have a huge silly smile plastered on my face post watching post it. Great work.

When she said "not a human head?" I'm like "SEVEN!" Beautiful video btw

I really can't belive that strangers people just starting to talk in bus stop and just tell things about their life.And it was so warm and cute that they shared positive vibe and smile. thats cool!!!!

As a single watching this short film. Me: I must find a box and a sticky note. 😄

this girl got waayyyy too much free time in her hand =.=

In real life: They all pull up their phones and never connect.

so pure and intrinsically funny. can't help crying at the end as they spread love and care simply through post-it. please make more of this.

Six months later they were happily married. Two years after they had twins, one boy and one girl. A very loving family they were. Their love is still going strong in 2024.

This short film is very remarkable. It can be seen in many views of perspective, depends on how you comprehend it and it's parts. I just realized after watching this is that if you don't do anything in that moment, you might miss something that could last forever or give you a good look at life. For example, if Claire wasn't 'nosy' as Elroy wrote, if Claire never approached Elroy, they would never converse(obviously), learn things from each other and actually enjoy life at the moment. It would just all be a normal day at the park. Two strangers, as time flew by, drift away, just like that. But no, something happened, and Claire made it work for the both of them. All you have to do is take a chance, the chance, the risk. You never know where it can get to, what it might be. Life is wonderful and there is so much more to it if you try, and understand it deeper. Predictable things are boring, so why wait when you can learn something new everyday by approaching it, approaching him/her. Everything can change, it's not a matter of faith. You up hold your decisions in life, your choices. So you know, go out there and learn more, live more.

This inspires me to make a post-it activity in my classroom. My students kept doing the post-it thing and they all cheered-up. Thank you Elroy!

Beautiful storytelling. Imma work my way through every single video this guy has shared on this channel.

I think this is a great teaching because it put a big smile on people's faces, it made the boy himself happy (in the video, it looks like he was a bit sad and bored). Clara's idea was the best, actually the things that she did and what she proposed to the guy to do, made me smile too. We need to take care of each other because day by day we live our own war and is not easy to anyone. We all try everyday and it's okay to be nice and polite.

Everything was happening like real world until the girl said "hi" first and asked him to sit beside her 🤣😂

I feel like I need to go brush my teeth, that was so sweet

That was wonderful. I didn't expect that turn of events.

Amazing short film, as a young amateur filmmaker I love seeing things like this and realising that I could make something similar with my resources. Also love the way that this is so inspirational!

I thought that the last Post-it note would say "Nice person" But then I read "Nosey" and died of laughter :D

What's in the box? WHATS IN THE FUCKING BOX?

One of the best gesture to bring a smile on anyone's face !!!

I can't imagine any woman approaching a man like this, nowadays... even if this is what I dream of in my best dreams. But the idea of sharing positivity like this is definitely inspiring. Goob job on the short film! :)

If only this could happen in real life, if only the world could be fixed with post it notes! Great video, it made me laugh.

I needed to watch something while I ate my Tuna Helper, this film sufficed. So, ..thanks, I guess.

I just don't know why I constantly smiling during the video🥰

Nicely done. Lighting, cinematography, sound design....all of it. I love these little indie films....who needs Hollywood.

ONE DAY I SWEAR IMMA FUCKING DO THIS!

actually, after watching this, i think the world will be getting beautiful if people give the others good compliments...

This clip is amazing, despite adversity, the guys did a nice activity, in the sentimental situation for Elroy for what the box meant to him.

It stated a little slow, jut ended up being pretty epic. Thank you for this.

AYYYEEE HES AN INTROVERT LIKE MEEEEEE *writes nice shirts* Me: it's a plain white long sleeve shirt... wuuuuut

Followed instructions.......got slapped for putting notes on boobs It was a good day

She’s the one Elroy. ☝️ She’s the one... ♥️

This was super wholesome. I definitely needed that. Great work.

Elroy looks like a cheap tom cruise

2 strangers had an actual conversation with almost no motivation. How is that Possible? If be sitting there just thinking 'oh cool, a guy with a box' then again I can't do the whole social thing

Something to make you smile, really need it these days. Thank you!

LOVE IT !!!! I expected something gross but this is much better. The worlds in a destruction spiral, sooo needed this....

My horse's name is Elroy. Lazy fucker ate all the time.

He looks like a chubby Tom Cruise

The beauty of words. spectacular film, very inspiring!

This was hilarious, I can't believe how much this made me laugh. Great story, thank you.

OMG! that red-haired girl is so friendly, nice and cute. I hope one day I have the same luck that guy had of finding someone like this this way.

So beautiful and deep. It made me think. I swear, one day I'll do this too! Thanks for inspiring me!

I know this was 6 years ago, but I found myself smiling unaware. Thank you for the smile

This needs to go viral. People could use a reminder. I've never seen this until today. I might even try to cut this into a short if possible. Great work.

WHAT'S IN THE BOX ELROY

"Post It" passed 10k views! Thank you, everyone! Do you know someone that needs to smile? Please pass it on!

Totally loved this short film !!! Thanks Micheal this was amazing🤗🥰❤️

Thank you. I love short films. I even shared it on my fb page. 🙏.

This was so great! I loved how happy and inspirational it was. Righting good things about people and giving it to them, genius concept. I also really liked how it related to how his mother was so nice yet he didn't think of himself as nice to people as she was. The girl did a great job of showing the kindness inside him.

The film is about Ellroy and Clara' s meet. Ellroy' s mom died, so he went to her place and carried her staffs in a box. He met Clara. She is so curious that she asked him what inside the box. And then the conversation began. When Ellroy talked to Clara, he realized that he want to be nice to people as his mom does, and Clara offer him a opportunity to do it. Together they went around the town and gave people compliment using post-its. The message is if you want to do anything, don't sit and think about it only, stand up and work for it. The film affect me a lot. After seeing this, i am confident to say that i can do everything i want.

This is the sweetest short film I have ever seen!!! Thank you!!!

-7 years later, If you're still watching this you're a legend.

Amazing! I'm from Brazil and I teach English as a second language. I used this short film as an activity in class and my students absolutely loved it! And so did I! Congratulations for the awesome short film!

This Short Film was so honestly Beautifully. Thanks for sending it in guys!

This is marvelous!! Some day, time will come that we'll gonna need to ask someone what's in their box and then them to tell us what's in it. This gave me courage! Thank you!

If only people could be more like this - POSITIVE!
