Lens is a queer short film directed by Skyler Cardella about a romance that sparks in the heat of the summer, but begins to dim in the cold of the winter.
Good little short. I don't read the comments before watching the shorts just cause I want to get my own feel on the story. But I knew something dodgy was up with Alice during the scene when Jess confessed she loved her and the way Alice just said it back just didn't fill me with much confidence. It felt like she said it just to please Jess rather then really meaning it. I've seen one or two comments say that too. So I'm glad I wasn't the only one who read a lot into it. I think Alice is just one of those types that likes the comfort and security of a relationship but not the commitment. The way she easily lied to Jess and tried to turn it around on her by saying she's spying on her. Shows she had no guilt of what she did and would have happily strung poor Jess along until she kicked her to the curb. Also I have a feeling this wasn't her first time cheating on someone, she was way too smooth when she first met Jess that I can't imagine that wasn't her first time pulling that smooth player act with other women.
I like this,not a very happy ending but that's okay because not everything is meant to be happy. I'm sure that the girl with the camera eventually found someone who knew how to treat her,maybe they would get married and stay together until they die,maybe not but they would never know unless they tried. Love is pretty complicated and sometimes you might find yourself deeply in love with someone who doesn't feel the same way towards you but if you spend your whole life sheltered you will never find love. Someone is out there waiting for you my advice is to go out and find them
Nice story but sad. I liked how she apologized for taking the picture without permission and was ready to delete it. Also would have been better without wine bottle when they were playing games because the first kiss happened then and it kind of reinforces the idea that one does such things because of being under influence.
