Great concept. The letter had was written and performed very heartfelt. The camerawork was decent but not the strong point. The music was worked in very nicely. Overall very good!
Praise God! Thank you brothers and sisters for making this amazing video. I also strive to make videos here at davis, and I'm just so encouraged and motivated to see that I'm not the only one with the passion to shine TRUTH into our sexually corrupt/perverse world--to use media for God's glory!
I do find that the interpretation of this movie can not only be a little vague at times (which is good, considering it's to a currently nameless person), and for that, I appreciate it.
A comment read that someone said that they should put off a relationship. I both agree and disagree. Yes, wait. But no, don't go in blind. You may know yourself in the future, but you never know what you really want until you know what you don't want. And you won't know that unless you see it for yourself.
@ShirtlessGuitarGuy Thats not it. We just believe in something more than what the world can comprehend. We'll have the experience and knowledge in ways hard for people to imagine.
The message isn't to sit on your hands and wait forever. The message is to wait for God’s timing. (I believe that God works all things for good for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.)
But there’s room for interpretation. We like it when people bring their own take to the film. Thanks for your input. :D

(P.s. If you want to discuss this more just Youtube of Facebook message me)
"In order to be ready fr you, I need to go through many trials, many tribulations, and many tears." You mention that people just throw their heart around and then you talk about trials. Can you clarify what you're saying? Just curious, because people talk about this subject a lot with me.
@BreakMemory I think that one kind of trial would be waiting for that special person. It would be a lot easier to have a girlfriend/boyfriend right NOW. The difficult thing is waiting for the right person and the right time, while watching other people get dates, kisses, and cuddles already. There are a lot of different trials people go through, but I think that waiting for the right person to come along is one of the trials the letter-writer in the video would have to deal with.
@BreakMemory I think a lot of people just want to be in a relationship because they're lonely or everyone else is in a relationship. Often times they're not "ready" and that's what he means by needing to go through trials, tribulations and tears. Before being in a relationship we need to grow as people in our character and only through trials can we become that better person who can support that future significant other
Wow.. this really touched my heart.. I can say I am going throw the simillar struggles as this guy.. and My... love's name is David.. as well... wow thank you so much for making and posting this video and I know it will help many people out there.. we all just have to wait for GOD <3
@aznkid435 It really wasn't that bad. Sure, some of the shots of the environment could've used a tripod. But other than that, everything else was fine. It has an Indie-vibe to it, which makes it more dynamic rather than redundant static shots all throughout.
good video, but why does it have to be so connected with religion? GOD this and GOD that. im my own person, some superior being isnt telling me what to do at every turn, so how is god shaping me?
This is awkward, and strange yet at the same time I was fascinated by the change of events in the video. It fascinates me how people go through their whole life wandering if they made a difference, if they made the right choices. It seems that the worse thing that can happen is not acting, and not make a choice, I question if not making a choice still counts as making a choice, or if it was something different like just some flaw? I need answers, but thank you for the film.
Dear Future Husband. I've waited for you for 18 years now and at the rate I'm going, will continue to wait for a few years before you find me. This entire time, I've been saving everything for you - no date with another man, no first kiss. I promise to stay this way until we meet. SO COME FIND ME. I know when we meet, I will be molded into a wife you'd be proud of and I hope you'd be the man I always needed.
@kagnomi Aww. I'm glad that the video resonated with you! When you write the real letter though you should save it for his eyes first :] That's something I kind of wish I did. xD May God bless you and grow you into the beautiful woman of God He has created you to be.
@daphidtheaphid You're welcome. Thank you for making the film - and ya! I recognize my college. Good idea with the letter - I will make sure to write it very soon.
LOL at 5:56. I have the same phone and the EXACT same thing happened to it. Tried fixing the clear touch cover but it just would not work. Nonetheless great video on the subject of relationships. God has that someone waiting for us, we just have to prepare for it. Check out Jaeson Ma's website at jaesonma.com and look for the article called 365 Days of LOVE: 5 Pillars of Manhood which touches on this and more. God is GOOD!
Should definitely invest in a tripod, but I'm sure you knew that already. I'm single because God knows I'm not ready... really... don't care much for message, but rest of this was good.
and i decied that i shall do a school project called writting to the future we shall write are letters to are future suppose then make it ta paper airplane and throw them of the school roof and see the smiles of a future
The concept is nice, heart-felt film, I like it. I can feel your visual style too, some nice natural lighting, nice one. Though there were several random shots. E.g. That Jamba Juice shot (2:37), I was just wondering how that Jamba Juice sign as well as the blank wall on the other 2/3 of the screen contributes to the story. If there was any meaning to that shot, my apologies, but then again, as a viewer I didn't get it. Also, nice film score, thumbs up to the composer. Hope this critique helped.
This is so amazing and such an encouragement to faith and waiting on God's timing Matthew 6:33! "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all else shall be added unto you." amazing acting and stellar camera angles / shots!
Amazing! That was...wow, just amazing! Great film David and Junn. I've now watched it twice and it was even more powerful the second time. Thank you so much for sharing this!
wow. Still resonated with me even after the second time I watch. I will for sure watch this anytime I question why I dont have a girlfriend. Cause right now Im not ready and God knows Im not ready. THANKS SO MUCH GUYS!!!!!!

Dear Future Wife,
I'll wait for you.. and wait for you.. and when you enter my life, I'll have no idea and let you pass on by because I'm still waiting for you...
There's NO WAY you can possibly know who you're meant to be with, that needs to be discovered and you won't find anything if you don't do anything
if the message of this video is to have no life experience until the "right" life experience comes along..
then I'm calling shenanigans :P

Hey man,
Thanks for your response. Actually you're right. No one should let themselves be choked by the fear of experiencing life.
But that also wasn't the point of our message.
The intended message was not to wait but to grow. It’s a call for guys to HAVE experiences; to mature as men as they start looking for their wives.
