[sirdoodlebug219]

[zoonica]

Thanks for sharing, I love ur film!

[BoingBoingallen]

This video made me so happy :D

[Clouver18]

I dodn't like that film...

[MilwaukeeIrishJoe]

aww, what a sweet reaction...congrats on the win!

[kickodude]

Congratulations dude! This actually inspires me to finish my short film :) How are you supposed to make your film eligible for Academy Awards anyway? Do you need a distributor. I'm just one guy making a serious picture with my fellow filmmakers, no distributors or anything (although we are applying for a grant from the NFB) I'm not making a film for the intent of winning an Oscar, but it would be nice to try my best to get on those "eligible" lists if you know what I mean.

[blissker]

Saw your film in a little art theater. They charged $8 and it was a double feature: all nominated animated shorts, plus all nominated short live action films. Great fun, and totally worth it.

[bellaluna20]

That's ma cousin!! No joke:))

[IJVin]

"Scroll down!"

[Smyyusuf]

Luke.. i understand your short film won an oscar. BUT you are charging people 15 dollars for it on top of S&H. If we saw it in select thearters it still wouldve been about 8 bucks max, plus its a short film not even a whole movie. DUDE reduce the price and I'm sure you will make a lot more money!!

[OhGoodGollyMissMolly]

I was so happy when you won. I can't wait to see what you come out with in the future. I'll be first in line. Here to support :)

P.S. Please never ever cut your hair.

[Ylimeli]

like a dramatic version of learning you have a snow day *.*

[toemeraldcity]

YAY!!!! Congrats Luke!

[KidsDigitalFilm]

Hey Holmes! Congratulations! Saw you at the IFC screening. Wish I thought of something to say. Then I'd kinda know an Oscar winner! Film was great BTW

[consi]

Dude congratulations. You were already miles ahead by having a completed film on your resume but, "now you are in their little club. To the moon..." - Catch me if you can

[SimonDraw]

Well deserved award! It's a wonderful film. We got it on our spiritual cinema circle subscription. Congratulations!

That film is absolute genius. Not only does it show case your beautiful talent for filmmaking but it's also one of the most relatable films for almost anyone. I mean we've all wished we could do that at one point or another.

[alaskannarwhal]

hey--I work in a theater and lucked out in seeing your short during a break--I have to say, it was stuck in my head for days, and that's a big deal (I'm a bit of movie freak)--I loved it and hope you continue to put out well-structured, witty films

[parodiaspicture]

I recently watch "God of Love" here in Mexico at the "Kinoki" film festival on my collage, i absolutely love your film, love the narrative, the cinematography  and the characters, i wish you my luck for you to win you´re oscar. and congratulation for you´re excellent work.

I just recently watched this as part of the shorts international program. It was absolutely amazing. I hope you win man. I never normally get to see the nominated shorts, but I'm happy I got to see this one. Great stuff

Exciting! Congrats man, great work!

[rstjona]

Congrats with it! Can I download it somewhere?? I found this by the nomination list, but cant find the movie anywhere. 

[BeyondTheCrookedRoad]

I am thrilled for you, Luke! Keep creating these amazing films. I just re-watched "Earano" last week - you are so, so talented - and someone I will continue to watch in the coming years. We certainly need filmmakers like you! I wish you great success, and am ever so thankful we met on the SCC discussion panel in November. - Wendy

[jumpinjason]

So very well deserved. One of the best short films I have ever seen. Congrats and here's hoping you win!
