looks great!

wow, that was FANTASTIC! Amazing job Ben. Really looked professional and not overly stylized. Aesthetically beautiful and hit the homely and simple sense of the song and theme right on.

No complaints at all.

Well done man.

Thanks you guys. Red cameras and vintage lenses are pretty neat.

Dude, that was such a fucking charming music video! It tells such a simple story, but an effective one about loneliness and the little ways we can brighten each other lives. I couldn't help but go, "awww" at the end. I really enjoyed it! The christmas lights at the end of the video...really nice touch!

Ben, you've always been one of my favorite filmmakers and I've been waiting for your next short film...or feature for a long time. Keep making stuff!

That was pretty much it.
And we used some pretty old-looking Zeiss lenses. Mostly on an 85 or 35.

this song is hilariously sappy, but the video looks gorgeous.
