@joevictor53 Nope, they banned them, after years of trying. Though a few people still use workarounds.

[joevictor53]

@Semicolonic Aww that's kinda sad. I never really paid attention to them but it's always sad when someone loses their job

"She's not in union. I cannot talk to her." *lol* You always find a reason, if you want to ... For an "I can't" as well as for an "I want" ... ;-) Lovely end!

[karin02]

without doubt my favourite 5 minute movie ever. Makes me cry every time. Jethro is BRILLIANT in it. Genius.

[2MissMagic2]

This is great. I felt so sad for that guy. It almost made me cry. And then I almost had to cry because I was so happy for him =)

[Scwirul]

Made me smile, especially the end < 3

[albetty100]

I'm moving to the London to get a job as a "Static Outdoor Information Technician".

I have been inspired.....

[donairewycheel]

amazing!

[effyleven]

That was SO nice. I'm really glad I watched it... ("Stumbled" upon it, actually.)

[exactimages]

This was amazing, beautifu,l and very touching. It just goes to show you that you don't always need it all to be happy. Excellent job! Great short!! I am posting a video response for you and I hope you don't mind what I did with it. Keep up the outstanding work!!

[wellardmatt]

This is a brilliant video! Great story, great filming, great acting, great quality. It inspired my entry for this years competition: Not quite the same quality but I think it still works.

[zQWASZX]

I saw it at a little cinema in Torquay, loved it and then looked it up on YouTube. Truly great

[freimutiger]

Does anyone happen to know what song was used in the background? I'd love to have it. And the guy is just a marvel.

[greensville]

Amazing!

[MrMishmashmoo]

This short really is an inspiration to filmmakers

[TheDailyCrumb]

great film!!!!!

[MrDannyHoo]

Outstanding work. You've perfectly captured that sense of community, but also that sense of individualism. Everybody has a different outlook on things.

[tinarett]

[lobeliasabo]

[TheUltimateToad]

dunno if its me... but i cried

[RADIKALDREAD]

I find I'm increasingly loving non US movies...cause their more real than that hollywood commercial shit.

[QueenBeae]

absolutely brilliant peace of art. thanks to jethro skinner for great acting - once again.

you all need to watch "plus one", a russian film he played in. amazing film, amazing acting.

[72FRETS]

amazing i can only dream of making vids like this

[m4lvolio]

Nice short. I hope they all die of cancer.

[MagnetProductions]

This short film portrays perfectly the fact that you don't have to be rich, successful and competitive to have fun. Yes, his job isn't the most exciting and inspiring, but this guy makes it something amazing because he points out the little things that make a big difference. Amazing.

[LeBronFilms]

I love this. Much better than the utter rubbish Hollywood comes up with. With big budget films it's just boring screenplays tarted up with some CGI effects and dull humour.

[JonathanBruner182]

I hope the creaters and actors in this film do know that is is more than likely the best video on youtube.

[Bordersboy]

Script, casting, acting, pace, music, shooting, editing are all-round wonderful: well done to everyone involved. You've shown what you can do with a tiny budget, a great idea and a lot of talent. You've proved that a well-made short film can release emotions rarely tapped by the blockbusters. 10/10.

[Jonah1219]

Just lovely. Beautifully written, acted, shot and edited.

[thatgingerscouser]

Awesome work, Osc!! We'll conker this old chestnut yet!

[darksupersonic09]

his eyes ... they are so expressional

[2happy4emo]

"Most people don't see past the neon."

This is brilliant. This whole film. I keep watching it, and every time I do, I can't keep from tears.

[benchdiamond]

that was amazing! 10/10!! :) <3

[TheUltimateToad]

wow! so emotional!

I'm guessing board sign people were forced off oxford street.. =/

[Tekavolver712]

great acting !

[RayLovesRomania]

[hanstification]

Well done! Brilliant simple idea with so much depth! A true inspiration for us short filmmakers! :) X

[MattHeaven]

WOW, over the top fantastic. I can't believe you created that much emotion in less than 5 minutes.... flawless

[albetty100]

Time for a career change..... this has inspired me.

[hermholland]

I absolutely adore this. There's heart-wrenching meaning, there's symbolism, there's recognisable points... I've shared this with so many of my friends.

Honestly? I absolutely love this video. It's so... Well... It really hits the mark.

[crokry]

[PhilosopherSpaz]

[kankaroo]

[GrahamGRA]

Really well made, poetic story. Filming was good, music was really fitting and the acting was so fluid and genuine. Spectacularly well-made short!

Not ashamed to say I cried a little.

[xperfectmessxx]
