Elroy wants to be left alone, but Clara is too curious about what he carries inside his cardboard box.

I was thinking, it's a one minute time machine..😁😆😆😆😅😅😆
Lmao I just got that recommended yesterday and I thought this was another one 😂
Lol I was just watching that minutes ago
Me too! KZhead it's weird.
Yup
G-One Kadel haha me too
I really liked the guy's acting, like a LOT, so good and natural, and then I found out he was the director!!!
Aw, thanks!
His acting is really good. Very natural indeed.
@@jasoncummings7052 you're not a parrot are you?
Reallly??i mean that was the first time i saw any director as a main actor.... Wow😊😊😊👌
@@cringe695 actually in friends series ross is the main actor and director
🥰I used to love paying random people compliments and watching their faces light up. Truth is I was so down and out, suffering from severe depression... It was a difficult time for me. Those little sparks of love and joy really helped get me through some dark days, and made new friends too.
Hope you are doing well now.
I was hoping that when she went to get into the box to get more Post-it notes at the end, there would actually be a severed head in the box. It really would’ve brought the whole story together.
Ladies: Always ask the cute guy what's in the box. Men: Always carry a box.
Great advice!!!!
@@dr.seymoursexe9247 Thank you! :-)
I can carry a box but what about the “cute“ part?
@@uslsuspect "Cute" is subjective. 😁
@@uslsuspect put a dog head in the box and you have have cuteness in a box
Introverted me: *sees the guy* *wants to tell him to sit down* *freaks out* *says nothing and avoids eye contact* Movie ends there lol
@@salwaas938 your cousin likes you ? Sweet home Alabama .
@@darkseid856 lol I mean yeah he is my cousin but very far cousin from my moms side of family.
even girls do this? i honestly didnt know
Hahaha. Watch the ad from Bianco: The Lift.
You are shy (social anxiety) then not introverted
I’ve watched this like once a year for the past 3 years and I still am amazed by the beauty of this film. Dialogue is perfect, the shots are beautiful and audio is amazing. Thank you for inspiring me and others into filmmaking!
I'm still trying to figure out how people come up with such beautiful stories damn!!
And what did it inspire you to do ?
What's his name?
Love the originality! Positive and inspiring message. Let’s have more.
Elroy looks like a "made in china" version of a Tom Cruise.
True he looks better and improved than the original!
He's the director
Funny😂
Hahaha 🤣🤣😂
... or Tom's little brother Elroy.
Last post it: can I have your number? Girl " oh, uh now. I have a boyfriend." Cut to black
Joshua Howell good idea. I was waiting for something really funny or awesome to happen like a severed head falling out of the box, anything!
@@jasonskipper theyll probably going to date and fall in love
Alone forever or on friend zone forever
Then that would be directed by Robert Weide instead
i think i might be the only person in the replies here that understands your comment ... all these simps who think its normal for a girl to talk to a boy without the desire to be with him.
No-one commented on how amazing the girl's hair was! Such a beautiful shade of red!
With a very jealous heart, I say this is absolutely brilliant. The lady's face was so vibrant and really suited the character Great writing👏👏
This put a massive smile on my face! Partly because of the idea that these 2 people are about to have this amazing relationship that started all because she asked him what was in the box
$20 says shes in the middle of a 7 year relationship and he has a booger collection under his bed.
The lesson : *Always* carry a box.
The box contained his mothers ashes 😂
@@quiltface83 🤣
Only in fiction tho... Nice guys IRL finish last and alone.
The actor who played Elroy was really authentic and genuine. Like he behaved like a normal person in a normal situation but expressed his character's emotion and isn't that what acting is all about?
AHAHHAHA!) Im writing under the *comment* that has been posted -7- years ago
😂
I think it says that Michael Evans played Elroy in the credits at the end
I've seen this multiple times. It still brings tears to my eyes! It's beautiful!! 😍 💯
The video beautifully describes the effect of social media on real-life, people comment on others even if they don't know them, and most of the time comments are heartbreaking. The writer encourages people to refine their remarks.
That's the opposite of social media !!
Expected twist ending: Elroy really did have head in box.
I know where this is going lol
And it was his mom's head 🙊
@@estellestar4071 sick bastards, too much netflix and news
At first I thought to myself, wow, thats one awkward dude, but then he said his mom just died, it threw me away, that explains his absent mind, and why he's being disoriented, my mom died 4 months ago, I totally get it, the dialogue is genius, and the acting is amazing. Well done 👌🏻
Thank you for watching!
@@MichaelEvansFilms thank you for posting
I am sorry for your loss
your distress is _natural_. The worst is that some promote the idea of not suffering from it and be self-made men and women. They will promote a totalitarism. As H. Arendt (and Shakespeare and Tocqueville) , I defend the life's "toil and trouble". This distress reminds us that we are not in a will-to-power (hubris according to the greeks). We are not in "prides", but in modesty.
@@h.lhemheur1708 Wow, you seem to know a lot about these things. You've made an interesting point with which I once agreed strongly. I used to think that it is the struggles that actually make life meaningful but it is not that easy to out this idea into practice in real life. As I encountered unexpected difficulties in life I lost my will and ability to deal with problems and started questioning everything, which made me more pessimistic about life. I wish I could believe the idea that everything happens for a reason and we're not here for nothing again.
Loved this film. What a beautiful message! I am totally amazed at the work of the writer!
This woman, hears something nice about a stranger's now deceased mother, and decides to carry the torch unprompted, reaching out to and inspiring the stranger who was clearly not having the best day. Not many people like that.
If we all could be so comfortable with each other the world would be a million times more amazing than it already is!!!!!!--
Agreed 👍... nice comment
the world is only 50% amazing
I'm very happy to announce that "Post It" has been picked up by Pacific Voice Inc. for distribution in Japan! I love Japan so much and it's an honor to know my short film will be translated to reach a wider audience there! Thank you, Pacific Voice Inc.!

if only the average person sitting in public was really that nice and friendly to complete strangers.
This is a really beautiful and sweet short film! Great job, good aesthetics too 🌼
Thank you for watching!
Beautiful storytelling. Imma work my way through every single video this guy has shared on this channel.
This short film is very remarkable. It can be seen in many views of perspective, depends on how you comprehend it and it's parts. I just realized after watching this is that if you don't do anything in that moment, you might miss something that could last forever or give you a good look at life. For example, if Claire wasn't 'nosy' as Elroy wrote, if Claire never approached Elroy, they would never converse(obviously), learn things from each other and actually enjoy life at the moment. It would just all be a normal day at the park. Two strangers, as time flew by, drift away, just like that. But no, something happened, and Claire made it work for the both of them. All you have to do is take a chance, the chance, the risk. You never know where it can get to, what it might be. Life is wonderful and there is so much more to it if you try, and understand it deeper. Predictable things are boring, so why wait when you can learn something new everyday by approaching it, approaching him/her. Everything can change, it's not a matter of faith. You up hold your decisions in life, your choices. So you know, go out there and learn more, live more.
+Ley Williams Well said! The most interesting stories with everyday people are grabbed from the realistic, everyday life in my opinion without fancy and expensive special effects. I often see too many films that have to cover a razor thin story line with a sauce of violent, loud action and special effects that I almost get immune to it now. Short films like this one will stick like a post-it.
I read your reply. It's very nice.😙
I loved this. I have a huge silly smile plastered on my face post watching post it. Great work.

@@michaelaldan4354 Wow people usually tell me that I'm pedantic. You're the first one to accept. Thanks pal and sorry.
@@The_Beast_666 maybe you're pedantic because you didn't answer the question xD
This inspires me to make a post-it activity in my classroom. My students kept doing the post-it thing and they all cheered-up. Thank you Elroy!
isn't that amazing? You see a video, you are inspired. These stories basically change lives - well, basically you change lives! Awesome, best comment I read today!
Are you sure they will remain positive ?
That was what I thought too. I'll use this in my classes. It'd be a great anti-bullying idea.
I tried this today. Going on a highly frequented street and handing over Post Its to complete strangers. It‘s more difficult, than you might expect: 1. Identify something positive about somebody, you honestly want to give compliments about 2. Writing it down on a post it note and delivering it quickly enough before that person is already gone. The reactions were interesting: first, they were mostly sceptical: „who is that? Why is he approaching me? What does he want from me?“ But after just sticking that post it, people began to read and a small smile appeared on their face. This method is good for two things: 1. To identify and focus on the positive things by watching strangers. Besides, it improves your mindfulness and appreciation. 2. To establish connections among people, showing respect and appreciation and abandoning the alienation of modern society.
Thanks for sharing♡
It's also a good way to get shot by a gun-toting right winger
Then we can also tell a story about a weird guy hanging post it's ) Thanks for sharing.
Back in 2015 I did something similar to this, first it started as notes scribbled on paper then I found out that post its are an easier way to do it. I wrote a nice message and gave it to a stranger. It's usually on the bus, the train, a park or just walking by. I never said a word other than "This is for you" with a smile. Never really wanted anything in return and I never really talked to any one I gave those notes to, I usually just walked away and never looked back.
This made me laugh and cry within 6 minutes. You can just be good at what you do. This is effective storytelling. I wish I saw more of this in the films I see in the cinema. A story that wastes no time, clearly didn't cost a fortune, but is well acted and evokes feelings. Well done mate. I'm no film maker but I know what I like and this is it.
When she said "not a human head?" I'm like "SEVEN!" Beautiful video btw
LOL
My immediate thought too!!

Amazing short film, as a young amateur filmmaker I love seeing things like this and realising that I could make something similar with my resources. Also love the way that this is so inspirational!
I really can't belive that strangers people just starting to talk in bus stop and just tell things about their life.And it was so warm and cute that they shared positive vibe and smile. thats cool!!!!
That shit never happen
@@victormachado8845 Remember anything is possible.
I tried sticking a note on a police officer and went to court. I tried sticking a note on the judge which said nice wig and I got 2 months community service but still though nice video
Make that 2
Well 10
Zain Basha I put a note on a police officer once and wrote you need to borrow the judges wig because his head looked like the end of a thumb

@Zain Basha - where did this happen?
It would seriously been great if it was a Human head.
They need to have two endings - one with a head

or a red stapler and some matches :)
Shaddic D I saw you with the box! WHAT'S IN THE BOX?!!!
so pure and intrinsically funny. can't help crying at the end as they spread love and care simply through post-it. please make more of this.
It was very short but a happy movie, if made me happy also taught one best lesson to learn something positive from everyone around 🙇♀️🌟🌟 thank you 🌸🌸🌸
Glad you enjoyed it
My mom goes to work too. When I wake up for school she'd be gone too. But she never left me post it's she left me a nice warm breakfeast on the table with her love ;)
“What’s in the box?” **Brad Pitt has entered the chat**
Se7en ? Don't remind me that scene...
“John Doe has the upper hand.”
Simply, the best comment in here
I can't imagine any woman approaching a man like this, nowadays... even if this is what I dream of in my best dreams. But the idea of sharing positivity like this is definitely inspiring. Goob job on the short film! :)
I think this is a great teaching because it put a big smile on people's faces, it made the boy himself happy (in the video, it looks like he was a bit sad and bored). Clara's idea was the best, actually the things that she did and what she proposed to the guy to do, made me smile too. We need to take care of each other because day by day we live our own war and is not easy to anyone. We all try everyday and it's okay to be nice and polite.
What's his name please?
When i go into the kitchen, and my dad is chopping onions, i cry so much. I miss onions. He was a good puppy
***** no, my dog.

Carson Lee lol i get it!!
😂😭
I thought that the last Post-it note would say "Nice person" But then I read "Nosey" and died of laughter :D
One of the best gesture to bring a smile on anyone's face !!!
This was hilarious, I can't believe how much this made me laugh. Great story, thank you.
If only this could happen in real life, if only the world could be fixed with post it notes! Great video, it made me laugh.
Things like it do happen.
This was so great! I loved how happy and inspirational it was. Righting good things about people and giving it to them, genius concept. I also really liked how it related to how his mother was so nice yet he didn't think of himself as nice to people as she was. The girl did a great job of showing the kindness inside him.
Those are some great thoughts. Thank you!
Something to make you smile, really need it these days. Thank you!
Totally loved this short film !!! Thanks Micheal this was amazing🤗🥰❤️

I'm definitely closer to his personality. I rarely, like once in a blue moon, initiate conversations with strangers. I'll say hi if I make eye contact to be polite but then keep it moving, lol
Jamila Marr I'm the opposite but that can be a bad thing because I've encounter some very unfriendly people, and other times those who I thought were friendly turn out to be the total opposite. So now I'm the speak and keep it pushing type, that way I can protect myself. lol
Yeah, it's definitely safer. I always laugh when people tell me years later "I was scared of you when I first met you! You're very intimidating. But now that I know you..." those periphery usually only spoke to me out of necessity at first. In class together, work together, etc. Other people just walk up to me and start talking like this girl in the video. But honestly, majority of the people I'm close to are via an introduction by a mutual friend.
Nicely done. Lighting, cinematography, sound design....all of it. I love these little indie films....who needs Hollywood.
That was wonderful. I didn't expect that turn of events.
actually, after watching this, i think the world will be getting beautiful if people give the others good compliments...
You've probably heard it a thousand times before, but I really like this short movie. Simple, but it's nice. Kinda remind people that being nice to others is something doable and doesn't hurt. 😊 Thank you for this work.
