I thought this was going to be about a drawing of a watch that you drew.. Tim Horton pales in comparison to DnD, VIVA LA DUNKIN!!

I don't really get the ending. But you did a great job with the camera-work and the tone of it truly evokes empathy.

Theres nothing really to get with the ending. Your ment to think she will be nice and buy him coffee, in the end you find out shes a bitch and just wants to get change from him for her coffee.

That's what I thought, but she appears to have plenty of change so I wasn't sure if she was just looking to be a selfish whore and wanted to make him feel bad or if there was a joke I was missing.

I got the message very clearly. The set up was nice - how you're led to believe she's helping him out, but then disappointed. I thought it was very well done!

Wow the cinematography was beautiful. What did you use at the beginning for the outside shot of Tim Hortons?

thank you, it was simply a 7D with a 35mm 1.4 on top of a crane. A good job in post production grading helped a lot!

that was really good! totally supports my opinion on stuck up little bitches, and I love how it totally flips on what you're expecting in the end. my only critique is that the music seems a little too sharp at points, like it's not too loud, but it's a bit piercing I guess. it works really well for the feel of the sketch besides that though.

hope you put out some more quality stuff

So after watching this video it reminded me of a kind of interesting story that happened to me not to long ago. I was down in Texas To watch my girlfriend how her horse. We are from Minnesota so it wasn't just a normal kind of trip but whatever that doesn't matter. We were eating at this somewhat famous place in fort worth, it's like an outdoor bar that has live music and it was pretty cool. After I ordered my food,I did what most people do, I stared off to whatever there was to look at cause there wasn't a conversation going. As this was happening I noticed a quite skinny, short, black guy that had a du rag on and had a red white and blue ribbon thing on (it was the day before 4th of July so I'm assuming he was trying to be festive) and had a limp in his walk. I started paying more attention to him and noticed he was carrying two boxes of chocolate bars. I believe it was a box of hershey bars and another box of crackle bars. I really didn't know what to think, I thought he might be a worker or something cause it looked like he had some where to go but I really had no idea. He went back to the bar area and I kind of lost vision of him. I transferred my focus back to the two guys that were playing music up on stage. They were actually pretty good. Fast forward 5 minutes and I see the guy again carrying the chocolate bars and I was like Dafuq. He started walking toward my table kind of. He stopped at the table next to me an asked the people if they wanted to buy a chocolate bar, the table kind of ignored him for like 10 seconds until one of them responded " I think we are alright". The guy selling was like ok thank you for your time like he has said it a million times before. He walked away towards the stage where the guys were performing and put his hand in his pocket and pulled out some change and put it In the preformers donation box. I really didn't know what to think. The guy turned around and walked out of the restaraunt and just disappeared. I couldn't even like eat my meal after all this happened in front of me. Idk if anyone else saw it or if they interpreted it the same as me but I'm pretty sure I saw a homeless man trying to sell chocolate bars to obviously wealthy people and no one would give him a dollar, but he still puts money in the donation bucket for the preformers when no one else did. I seriously felt so bad. I wanted to give the guy all the money I had, but I had no money on me. I wish to this day that I had at least a 5 to give the dude. I've never seen that kind of generosity out of anyone ever. He had nothing but still made an effort to give something. I feel like I could make a movie similar to yours based of my personal experiences but I'm not talented.

this is a well made video and i liked it but the ending confused me. the girl saw a homeless man, got a coffee and asked for spare change from a homeless man and not her friends...i thought she was giving the man the coffee. whats the message out of the video.

This was a sketch, it doesnt have to be realistic, its a sketch. besides, her buying coffee wouldnt be much of a story, I wanted people to rage.

In classic NS fashion a ton of hate over something quite the opposite of hateful. I really enjoyed that. Give the man a share/tweet/whatever.

bottom line: Yes, I will recommend to a friend.
