4960

[f5yeangel5]

I really like the way she narrates. There's that longing for something, and struggle in it.

[HelloWingYeeWu]

@f5yeangel5 glad u like it, we worked hard on that

[ASUNDAR83]

wow, you are very very good

[HelloWingYeeWu]

@ASUNDAR83 thank you, again, Asundar83 : D

[swiftmage]

It's amazing how something so short can still be so moving, brought me to tears.

[HelloWingYeeWu]

@swiftmage hey thanx for watchN!

[MrTimmy132]

loved it.. so emotional. i felt alot for both of them, how diffrent their sourndings are yet how isolated they are... Keep making films like these and you cant go wrong..

also why have ratings been disabled, if they wernt ibet they would all be positive..

[HelloWingYeeWu]

@MrTimmy132 thank you! developing feature version, fingers crossed it'll be financed soon. Ratings - i chickened + they put stars inside filmframe, totally ugly

[MrTimmy132]

@HelloWingYeeWu cant wait to see it... also was just wondering, might be a stupid question but why did you call it 4960?

[HelloWingYeeWu]

@MrTimmy132 kinda silly but in film aida refers to the distance btwn them - 4960 miles

[sk8terbandgeek17]

Loved it.. its so good to see something REAL in a movie nowadays... this is how movies ought to be made.

[HelloWingYeeWu]

Wow, those are some very kind words, will do my best to live up to it next film. Thank you.

[mbiraguy]

Beautiful work.

[HelloWingYeeWu]

Thank you! How did you find my films?

[vesket]

For some reason, this small film moves me. It's both surrealistic and important at the same time..

[HelloWingYeeWu]

Hey vesket,

it's encouraging, not only that people bother to comment (hey, youtube is endless) but that my work moved you. Thank you for taking the time to watch as well as to write.

[MrDarkon666]

tthththth

[HelloWingYeeWu]

haha, sorry

[torskefitte]

Great film!

[HelloWingYeeWu]

Glad you liked it.

[HelloWingYeeWu]

Thank you! I can't take credit for Scathing though, it was coined for 4960 by a festival judge, hehe.

[LocustsOfSteel]

Well done, i literaly caught a tear falling down my cheek while watching this.

"...scathing social commentary ."

Scathing... I thank you for using one of the more highly descriptave words lost to the majority of speakers of the English language... And here i was, thinking that deep vocabulary was dead in this shalow worldwide corporate oligarchy we live in.

[HelloWingYeeWu]

of course!

[N3rdLov3]

nice film

i liked it

did she survive though?

[5superhop5]

u like it? i dont

[HelloWingYeeWu]

oops, that's too bad.

[njs427]

NICE..

I LIKE IT

[gryde007]

i love it the way he has luck in the beginning it sounds like me

[HelloWingYeeWu]

But he has faith in something better throughout.

[ngord]

nice film

[HelloWingYeeWu]

Hello Zagreb, thank you so much sent from New York.

[loopmasta]

hello from zagreb, great movie

pozdrav iz zagreba, odličan film

[HelloWingYeeWu]

I think she survived...

Thank you all for commenting, I really enjoy hearing your opinions.

[Squidgeididdly]

wow, that's amazing!

I loved it, especially the jhonny depp part :P

But i want to know if she survived? or is this plot in a book or something else?

[eva924c]

That was beautiful! Makes me feel very happy--Normally I would have expected a sad ending, but that wasnt, it was really good , haha Johnny Depp!

[HelloWingYeeWu]

wow, that makes me very happy.

[imoogi2]

Thanks for this! It turned me on to Aleksandar Hemon. I am reading "The Lazarus Project" now. Thanks Again!

[donnaweiller]

Try listening to Porcupine Tree they have a song called Lazarus and you will understand the lyrics `it's time for you to go'

[tom36450]

OH MY GOD A POO IS COMING

[HelloWingYeeWu]

HAHAHA!

[bozdog29]

This is beautiful.

[koolJ]

Pretty good.

[HelloWingYeeWu]

Hahaha, that's funny.

[titan5000]

I did not like this movie.

[HelloWingYeeWu]

Wow, that's amazing. Thanks for posting. It's good to get encouragement.

[39hart4c]

I saw it for the 15th (or 25th) time, still keeps me breathless, throbbing. R

[jadeeslayton]

great vid!! thnx for posting

[whatthemotherfhole]

really really good. OMG

[unspoken42]

It is something I can't put into words. I can't explain it. Just beautiful. :)

[Lifeordeath1]

Shot really well, good script writing too! Great job!

[HelloWingYeeWu]

Thank you.

[ivo35]

why was it renamed?

[smoobawaba]

and meaningful =)

[roaz134]

Beautiful.

[LOST961]

very nice

[HelloWingYeeWu]

I am looking forward to the next one too : )

[melonmelon23]

wow

just...just wow

[Aalaaline]

what country was she at?

oh and the johnny depp part was hilarious xD

[melonmelon23]

i think it was bosnia

[sachiperez]

I really enjoyed this. I am looking forward to the next one.

[1panslav]

This is a bunch of crap,very stupid, nothing artistic, people who think this is something have a warped mind....

[HelloWingYeeWu]

Oops.

[benfish13]

OMG that gave me chills

[39hart4c]

genius. from tojke A till tojke Z.

[cormarch]

Thanks for remembering the war in Yugoslavia.

[sheburns12]

That was really great, nice work :)

[atom26]

Haunting stuff. And I love the little bits of social commentary on American culture. So true. I've worked with a few Directors (mostly commercial) - and few of them can tell a story in just one scene like you can. Keep on keepin' on.

[HelloWingYeeWu]

It says on my channel. I'd like to know your background.

[casehoba]

worked in los Angeles, moved to tx.  Smaller market, but still very passionate.

thanks

van

[casehoba]

Very well done! Simple, moving, and important.

I'd like to know your background.

Van

[hcg81]

Hi Wing Yee Wu. Great film. Glad to see your making good stuff. I just got your email now. I have a new address. It would be great to hear what your up to.

Henry

[HelloWingYeeWu]

Making new film!

[chilaxedkid]

i didnt get it at all

[WhoopMQ]

Really, really great.

Don't take me for another one of those dumb people who types in all lower case, with a million question marks asking about the plot. But the ending- is it supposed to be ambiguous as to whether she made it alive or not? That's the impression I got, since you don't show him open the mailbox. Also, the letter seemed more... gallows humor than actual confidence in her surviving. Maybe I'll just have to watch it a few more times to make sure :)

Chris

Pittsburgh, PA, USA

[HelloWingYeeWu]

My intentions were to keep it open ended : )

[Sirrom0206]

It was good but dry. The story was easy to follow, but I watch and collect films from across the planet. I had no problem with the production value because it is better than mine. I would like to see your next project. I just read today that Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan started like us. His first was titled Doodlebug and it was just 3-minutes long. Don't stop!

[ogier1]

I watched it again! Favorited it because it is excellent.

Probably you know that alreday considering the awards you got :)

[HelloWingYeeWu]

Wow, its really nice to hear you watched it again.

[Areiaz]

wing : ( you are forgetting about me ( score ) watch you inbox please.. there's my gmail so you can send it to me : )

[annabluesbarnes]

Hi,

I loved your story -it was very beautiful and poignant

[GrieverIIX]

Wow this is such an amazingly profound film. I hope that you will continue to edit films and that more of your work will be featured here on youtube. Congratulations on a job very well done.

[singlespies]

Beautiful movie - gorgeous photography! I noticed the actress had someone else do the voice for her (good job matching sound and image there) - she was amazing (both of her!)

[HelloWingYeeWu]

wow, you are all over the world, it's great.

[jisatsucarnival]

i loved it. please keep up the great work. and the johnny depp part added a lot of comedy relief.

[Hypocriteria]

Thankyou youtube for making this happen. The ending moved me to tears. A beautiful, tearing piece of film.

[nocowmud]

about 5 minutes in a i fell asleep

[HelloWingYeeWu]

that's cool my dad did too

[CastAwaayCinema]

This is a really good film. Was that really Jhonny Depp? I liked the storytelling too. I loved it!

[afox2010]

Johnny Depp. Oh, gosh.

This video is amazing, though. Wow. Really.

[gilap4]

molto bello!5*****

[Nukhali]

Wow, that just moved me. Its amazing that thing we call human contact; that even tho we are alone we can reach out to those we love if only in our own mind and somehow draw strength for just a memory. At the same time we can be in a see of people and feel so alienated and alone; at times misunderstood. Still, we draw strength from those most sacred memories of human contact. An excellent work of ART that illustrated the most basic human need... each other.

[zafartareen]

Seriously, amazing...

Stop war.

[HelloWingYeeWu]

Im curious as to where everybody's from. Feel free to leave a footnote with your city.

[ogier1]

munich.

I thing I gonna watch it again tomorrow to get the details right...

[Parodiaslo40]

Nice 10/10

[petor95]

5/5 TOUCHING!

[XxMcRbluehotdogxX]

nice =)!

[emariew91]

i absolutly loved it

touching

[jpmont11]

that. was. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRRRRRREAT!!!! a little sad in soome points though o.o

[skybird777]

I DONT UNDERSTAND

[HelloWingYeeWu]

no worries, you're not alone

[shadowelite141]

epic fail

[SeanFilms]

A Beautiful Work of Art

The story was well written

The music gave me chills (in a good way)

and the Acting was Superb

Keep up the good work:)

[TheWelcomeChange]

I became so engrossed in this film that I was actually yelling at Josef at the end to open his mail slot.

This is amazing 5/5

[HelloWingYeeWu]

I heard at a screening how somebody else did that, it was really amazing.

[TheWelcomeChange]

That's wonderful!

I'd say you know you've made something amazing when that happens. I'm from Cincinnati,Ohio by the way.

[venhermex]

excellent made me think about how good i have it right now and a lot of thinghs that are happening in the world enjoy life while we can and spread it around.

[HelloWingYeeWu]

The Depp part has been disputed - perhaps out of the blue but still kinda funny. In my mind.

[BenRivered]

I rate this film 2/5.  It was ok. The Johnny Depp part was out of the blue and not entertaining. With some editing I would give it 3/5. Thanks for making it - worth watching.

[UGMF]

Instead of praising this, which it deserves. I'll just say I'm very proud of youtube for finally using its popularity, and featuring this.

[AustralianRoflers]

That movie makes me shivver.

Good work

[KABEBvideos]

very, very nice!

[yasmiona]

this is so great

my parents are both immigrants, i suppose they felt as alone as josef when they moved here.

wow!

just wow

[dbum8]

really touching. The storytelling is so intensive that you don't loose your attention for any second even if there's nothing much happening. i have seen this imigraton loneliness really close and it was described very realistic. like that drying underpants with the hairdryer :) i have been watched youtube videos for the whole day and this is nothing to compeare. Thank you for sharing. cheers

[peteole]

lol johnny depp.

[Supergirl941]

hwhe

[gabrieladeception]

amazing. i truly loved it.

[swezwho]

Very moving film. I hope your efforts are seen, and felt, by many.

[Yosh421]

Amazing.

[wtming52]

BRILLIANT!

[Aleins1exist]

Brilliant

[Sheckl3s]

i dont get it -.- so theirs a war goin on right? right and then his girlfriend or wife or w/e sends him letters right? right and to send him letters she needs to get to ponit B witch is really hard because theris a war goin on right? right and the man is soo lonely he wants to see her and he waits for her to call or get mail yea if thats all then this is crap

someone wanna tell me the plot or story line cause im confused

[HelloWingYeeWu]

Hey, can't win them all. Thanks for taking the time to write though.

[DominatorSupreme]

haha yes that is the story line but that doesn't meanthere isn't more to it for example it should cause you to think about why it is worth it to us as humans to risk our life simply to communicate with someone, the things she writes to him are'nt urgent but she is willing to die for him to read them, also the man who is safe and in chicago surrounded by people and potential friends still feels alone and desperate for contact with just that one woman get out of it what you will

[Sheckl3s]

didint see it like that pritty amazing film then

[ragnarokonline510]

I loved the whole concept u had a great idea the whole video had me deeply thinking it was really interesting throughout the whole video it sounded very sad how the man looked depressed waiting for someone to contact him and it broke my heart when he opened the card to find it was just some freakin advertisers other than that haha i thought the lady was going to call him johnny blaze hilarious xD

[SECond2NoneStudios]

Great work. I'm currently a film student and I must say I really liked this. I liked the whole feel of it...the guy doesn't say anything but you know exactly what's on his mind. Amazing, I love it!

[xoaliishaax3]

this was amazing.

please keep up the good work :]

[jz14411]

wait did she die??? that was good but, i want to see the end. it was kinda sad :(

[OfficialEditorsCut]

She did not die. She made it to point B alive.

[DominatorSupreme]

but did she make it back? hahaha we will never know

[zipperdemon]

Great video, this has potential for a kickass movie.

I'm lovin this.

A continuation, and deepening of the story would be awesome. Can't wait to see what you got coming up.

Keep up the good work.

[Darkestnight777]

Did the girl die at the end i can't tell.

[dantemiguel93]

THAT WAS JOHNNY DEPP!!

LOL

[HelloWingYeeWu]

Hey all, thank you for commenting!

[Godlovesyou234]

It is well worth commenting!

[Areiaz]

hy, do you know where can i get the score/soundtrack ?

[HelloWingYeeWu]

Hmmm...write me on my own channel and I'll see what I can do.

[threelegduck]

bosnia forgotten in u.s. media

[bob44466]

i used to live in Sarajevo hated it

[UMAHHY]

nice work though

[unitedsoundacademy]

Amazing!

Bravo

Fix

[Marshmellow01]

Good movie but some actions took longer then needed made me really bored and impatient

[Coopergirly]

Wow... that was excellent. The narration was great, I love her soft voice.

[noheartnoshame]

That was beautiful. It was true poetry in motion. I can't wait to see what you come up with next.

[HustlingVegas]

stupid

[afroinferno]

no your stupid

[the1intellect]

Very well done. I agree with the other posts too, quite powerful.

[kcarterchicago]

wow. that was strong.

[71Warrior4Jesus]

\0/\0/\0/\0/\0/\0/\0/\0/\0/\0/­\0/\0/

[chiliv3ndor]

Very impressive, nicely told. You have a future in films, for sure.

[imtang0708]

WOW!!! Very very powerful stuff, beautifully put!

[XMacangaX56]

This story has a deep meaning. And you can feel it after you watch it.

I am eager to see what ever comes out next.

[strlytninja26]

wow really good short film , deep.

[marydok1]

Did that lady say Jonney Dept? Huh...wierd vid! But wierd is good! ^_^

[Psyburn]

Wow, a very powerful short film. The color palette, the cinematography, it was all top notch and contributed to this... atmosphere. I can't wait for whatever you got coming up next.

[HelloWingYeeWu]

Why would they be speaking English? Otherwise yeah, film could have used more work; keep an eye out for my next film instead, currently in pre-production.

[selecus12]

In English?! Obviously very ignorant. I thought it was great, good work!

[Eminemvmcian]

put it in bloody english

[ZergeyUnited]

sad / beautiful / lonely / dark / cold / hard

[nan1220]

different angle of view,in particular description...I like it and hope more...

[TurkboyX2]

This is what barbarian butcher serbs did in bosnia while hypocritical europe watched the genocide in the middle of co so called democratic continent for years and when serbs were done,janus-faced europeans did not lose a second to clean their dirty laundry by only recognizing one genocide in srebrenica and totally omitting all other places and even they awarded their coward soldiers who handed over bosnian civils to serbian soldiers to be massacred while the commanders were clinking their drinks

[riceski]

It is quite clear that the Muslims were and are the problem - just like Dufar.

[TurkboyX2]

what does the religion have to do with genocides in Bosnia?Before being a religous fanatic you better be a human being. we r talking about the total annihilation of human beings including babies and children who know nothing about religion. You know people like you who think every evil thing against muslims can be justified just because they are muslims or there are some muslims who are bad so every muslims should suffer are no good than the satan itself. and it is darfur you ignorant prick

[aeymxq]

not bad for an obviously low-budget short-film. the sets and costumes were drab and could have used work, and the cinematography was not particularly exciting.

also, the lack of any actual dialogue is silly, but this is a decent piece.

i like the low-tempo and mellow score, and the girl's narration was pleasant although both of the actors could have been more charismatic.

[musickmania]

that was beautiful just like you said 32788941 very absorbing

[32788941]

very very absorbing ! do u hav more?

[nanknort]

good short film. good pacing. was the johnny depp scene necessary?

[LocustsOfSteel]

Yes.

Another element to show the short sightedness of the place and situation he has run to/from...

...I guess it also symbolizes the need to give space to someone who OBVIOUSLY needs room to think and be, instead of carelessly harassing them about something that cannot be understood at first glance by a naive eye.

[DestiniTheArtist]

That was Johnny Depp! haha

[Godlovesyou234]

Very good, well done!

[jdoubt]

fuck

[musickmania]

hey i looked at some of your vids your good and guitar and pretty good and singing i like it

[cocainechic]

i ws reminded of the film l'armee des ombres after i watched this,.very good!

[NoFreeSpeechonYT]

I liked the out-of-tune piano, it really helped set the tone of the video. It gave everything a sort of off kilter feeling that really fit the circumstances. Very good!

[boogiebrain34]

i didnt really think of it until you mentioned, but you're right. wouldn't have as much of that 'feeling' if it wasn't out of tune.

[3dbeing]

Will we never learn? One war after another, people torn apart, people who just want to live and love like humans do, yet it seems the governments are intent on keeping point A and point B apart until death. When will we ever learn...
