Thank you SOOO much for posting..

You wouldn't happen to have "Night Swimming"..would you?

[caspienjames]

@stefgi32 I'm not sure I know that one unless your refering to the pool scene in the short Dare. I do have that one on my myspace page. The link is on my main page here. I will see what I can find on the title Night Swimming.

[caspienjames]

@stefgi32 ya, I remember that one now. I have to much trouble uploading those ones so I just cheated in order to this on youtube. I uploaded veoh which lets me copy videos from youtube to my computer. That's where I got this one from. When the original was deleted from youtube I put my copy up so people could watch it again.

Great editing!! You held the feeling of uncertainty for a long time!!! absolutely good work!

Work out your lighting next time. The lighting will ruin a good story like this.

[caspienjames]

It's not my film. I found it on a movie with gay short films. I agree about the lighting. I really like this film and would love to see a full length movie about these two charcters. Dare was a short movie that is being made into a full lenght film as well as Faeries now called Were the world mine.

[legoman81]

what did he write on the window?

[caspienjames]

He writes " I hate feeling this way."

On the notebook he writes "Thanks for inviting me in.' 'sure'.

[DeejayGirbaud]

Actually, he wrote 'I hate feeling like this'

[liquidsax2]

The lighting in that scene is purposeful. It is called "backlighting" and the idea is to make the characters look like silhouettes. Usually, and I think this is the case here, this technique is employed to represent the idea that the characters have inner feelings that have yet to fully come to the surface. You notice how Sean has light cast on him in this scene, because he is knows what he wants. Derek, who is wavering in his attraction/non-attraction to Sean, is in the shadow.

[Zanaso12]

deaf? I thought he was just mute...a couple times, he was able to notice Derek wanted his attention when there wasn't any kind of physical contact...of course, if there wasn't, then it would obviously just be lip reading, but meh, I could be wrong. After all, he didn't start running when the coach signaled, but after everyone else started.

@realladygagaland LOL! I thought the same... :-P

[TheEsotericDesi]

Wonderful storyline...

[ck85x65]

Go to part 1 ... Notice it is derek, not sean, who shows interest first ?!

[ck85x65]

Then begins a silent conversation of personal longing, through gentle gestures, back and forth, with the occasional shrug --boy code for "ok".

[ck85x65]

Derek may may not be sure what Sean has read, but he is ok with it. Derek has admitted Sean into his private thoughts.

[ck85x65]

But ot was private enough that Derek wanted it kept secret. Sean has now seen Derek's writings, and is initially angry. Yet when Sean goes to leave, and gives Derek his journal back, Derek says "I'm not angry"

[ck85x65]

Earlier, Derek tells Sean "I'm not angry"when Sean reads his private thoughts in his journal. What had derek written there, we will never know.

[ck85x65]

Sean offers a high five, then gazes at Derek, which our bully notes. But because Sean is deaf, the bully is not sure, and Sean taunts him back with gestures

[ck85x65]

The change room is significant, because it is truth in near-nakedness
