The Darkest Blue | British Short Film 

A depressing commentary on how insane our culture is, but equally insane is the mind's desire for acceptance, fame etc.. Like Jim Carey says "he wishes everyone could be rich and famous, so they would know it's not the answer".

I'm alarmed how much I understood Brit's position, and I'm a writer. I was profoundly moved by the conclusion, but also the portion when the art curator broke down how she is looking for a story, and I saw the despair in Brit's eyes.

"I see colours and shapes". She was right first time. Having the vocabulary to analyse a painting does not an artist make. Understanding how to produce one, does.

Never ever give up Always KNOW you are loved No ones opinion matters!!!!!!

One of the challenges in writing a short story or filming one is conveying everything the artist wants to portray. Not an easy task. This short film captured all the five senses. Brilliant ❤

The cinematography is gorgeous and not going to lie, I think about this so much as an artist, especially when people use that over used joke "you know you need to die first, before you become famous" artist don't want to be famous, we just want support. I am glad to see this concept in a short film. It was so beautifully done!

I love films about artists, painters especially. This film does justice to the often unspoken and sometimes painted feelings we try to express.

😥 my most favourite painting had stolen from a school art exhibition. I had cried for many days. Here not painting but Artist herself is missing. Tears in my eyes. She created a masterpiece painting with truthful story.

This guy's reaction made me so angry! He ruined all her work, because of selfishness -loosing her, and not understanding this was not about him. Even in her death all her hard work and her life was destroyed by him. It was a great short film though. So much energy despair and searching for herself in this world which seemed to be so comfortable and passive to the others. Only her mother was supporting her.

I'm thrilled! Such a storm of emotions is experienced by the main character, personified in the ocean on which she worked. This is the essence of her feelings.🖤

Okay, I NEVER post on YouToob because that's just a bunch of self-indulgent crap but "wouldn't be seen dead in that" is hilarious and holy smoke this is really.... this is a lovely little film I'm sorry. Strike the 'little'*. This is lovely film. For whatever it is worth, I think you should all be very proud for having crafted this lovely film. I am 65 years old and my knees hurt and I am worn down and I think you should all be very proud for having crafted this lovely film.

as someone who lost two friends to drowning, one of them on a beach like this where there were lots of people, I can't appreciate this

Depressing. Can you imagine her poor Mother? How could she possibly recover after this? She wouldn't even have all her artwork after he selfishly destroyed her lifes work. Terrible

The painting seem to came alive, I really had goosebumps after watching her final piece As if she left 3D literally to live in the painting

What a good story. I had a roller coaster of emotions while watching this. It's like we can feel what it's like to go through something so. difficult in life by the main character himself. The cinematographic and the music also made me amazed how there are still much more great film producer today.

This film should've a million views at least. Top Class. Kudos. Hats off to the team

What an amazing short! Incredible future for writer/director! I'm not an artist but as a musician & for other reasons, this story, her family struggles, self doubt, depression really hit me in the gut, heart & soul. The fantastic cinematography & music, and his look at the end, wow.

Absolutely beautiful scenery. Excellent acting. Great story. Brilliant.

Excellent portrait of a passion that drives us to incredible acts. Loved this short.

An artist puts their heart and soul to canvas. It is an expression of what they feel, who they are. An extension of themselves. They hope to move or challenge the observer; convey a story or idea. It’s a story of their inner struggle.

A perfect short film I've ever seen. 10/10 it is.

Great cinematography and great job conveying characters emotions

I was not expecting that ending. Beautifully done. Shocking and rewarding

Her mother dying, she being broke and hopeless. You could feel her agony while being denied some ecstasy of recognition.

As artists, i believe if we simply create for the love of creating, that is our payment. That is the "conclusion" i've come to. No need to make it life or death. It's nice if a few people appreciate it, and they usually do when they feel the love in it.

Wooouuu.. A ray of emotions and a life wasted? Or maybe not wasted? Something to reflect very deep and to discuss.. In the end she was not in a gallery,only in people's heart.. Especially her closes friends,which have to deal with a secret behind doors for the rest of their lives and feeling guilty maybe too.. Was they able to bring awareness about suicide ? Because I felt from the beginning when she visited her mom,that was her goal.." To be with her mom ".. Especially when she mentioned Van Gogh tragic life..! 😔😔😔

Stunning short. Beautifully shot and great story telling! Resonates deeply with me.

i have this goosebumps after seeing the final art 😳

Very well done . Rewinded to see it again.

wow. the conflict and the passion. That is what ignites the artist within. I like this very much.

What a chilling story. Beautifully rendered.

I love you as an an actress. You are whoever you decide to be.

I wanted to see more of the story, it was an excellent piece of artwork.

Excellent…..I went through a range of emotions in that short time.

A beautifully conveyed story, it captures so much emotion and struggle. The music and atmospheric sounds with the lightning and ambiance of the scenes really sets the mood for the emotions being portrayed. Wonderfully done. Keep creating what inspires you and take care.

WOW nothing I can say that has not been said all ready. Fantastic storyline, great acting and superb cinematography of the beach/sea.

Wow, that was captivating! I loved it 💖🙏✨

Well executed and on point...

Wow, so powerful!

Just Beautiful 😢❤ Bravo

I'm from india after i saw this short movie such a great work and story in simple scence. It's a reality of life every struggling person.

Wonderful. Brilliant. Thank you

this is beautiful

Beautiful!

Such a bizarre concoction of extreme emotions leaves me incredulous. The trio of friends are comic in an alarming way. There is a lot more to Van Gogh than his cutting off his ear, and yet that is what is remembered by so many. However, although "struggle" is necessary, it is only the outcome that may be important. Suicide is a shock tactic for attention, it is not about an artistic ability.finding a way to express itself brilliantly.

Just beautiful 👏

Absolutely stunning.. from the filming to the grading and the acting. Amazing work by all.

wow! really ,really loved this

Brilliant story, that would make a great drama series 👏👏👏

Brilliant, touching, poignant! Grazie from Rome!

Wow what a great short movie.

Hauntingly,poignant, piece of work.

This was excellent! Thank you!

This is fantastic.

Norfolk ! and Anteros ! Interesting subject and so true .

this was really good

Absolutely fantastic :0

Outstanding. Very well done and definitely got my full attention for the short duration of the piece. I very much enjoyed the camera work, excellent acting and lighting of the scenes. Very impressive.

An amazing job. Great film making

Not perfect - but perfect enough. Very inventive, creative and fresh - bravo!

wow! what a incredible plot she was working on her death all time which is scary and also blows up your mind

Awesome short. I loved it

aaahhhhh! Not at all the ending I expected but maybe I should have - lovely cinematography

Wonderful little movie. So creative!

I really learnt a great lesson is that people are not going to care about you or preciate what you did until you pass away

08:19 Why didn't they at least wait for her to come back up to the beach. She could have gone elsewhere after that. And what's it about destroying all her work? it wasn't necessary at all, even if he was grieving.

Exact example of when a Family pressure hits you so hard to study the subject you don't even want to be💔

Great piece of work.

What an amazing plotwist!

magnificent!

Really great… short words but really expressed many things 💙🙏🥷🏻

Damnnnnnn . Deep.

You know what when I was working at a nursing home I talk to a janitor about my art he loved it, and I told him about this artist I love, his art was unbelievably good he made a lot of money but he was depressed and drank himself to death he said all artist are depressed he said it's goung to happen to me the depression I mean and you know he was right people love my art and I'm on my way but I suffer from real bad depression but I'm getting some help I don't want to end up dead and not enjoy what I do. But I wonder why artist are depressed when they create such beauty.😮

Amazing perfectionist Jrain

Great short. I like how you introduce the watchers to the film with spellbinding images and music. Then how we step-by-step are pulled into the main character's shoes. Planting plot-devices, introducing secondary characters, slowly building for dramatic punch and then ending the film with a good twist or two. It's the craftmanship of this film that impressed me the most but also the Ireland-wibe. It's something about Ireland (Was the film shot in Ireland or England?) on film that many times presents *good magic*: The Landscape, The People, The Music. I was really impressed with the acting in this film. How all actors involved really were convincing from my point of view, they had a *charm* to them. The Ireland wibe, I think you nailed the characters that made me think of "Trainspotting" in a way. Good charm, good drama, good visuals and music. And the message was spot on! Good work! If you feel like it check out my computer animated short "Alien Forever" about a lone woman confronting an international war scenario in the future and learning odd things on the way. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9p9wMVGhBKE.html

Lovely 💙💙💙

Society mind opening!!! Brilliant short film!!!

I could think of three or four alternate endings to this, but the one used was good. It wrapped up the story nicely.

Incredible, oshadharon(excellent)

Well written, well acting

Fantastic

Why would you destroy her artwork who are you

why we value the person, emotions, and Their work when one departs? The films invokes these questions

Perfect

COLOR HER DECEITFUL The Deepest Blue is the Deepest Depression and Deepest Deceit. [12:35] An amateur oil painting of overcast black clouds, turbulent black ocean waves, brown eroded beach at point of a riptide, and windswept brown-grey dune grass. The colors, shapes, medium and technique of the painting tell the story of a painter who felt like a failure with nothing to live for. As a last resort, she concocted a hoax that matched her personality of self-deception.

Nailed it

Brilliant.

This was brilliant.....TFS

Artiest needed appreciation We should End is goosebumps

Well done, excellent storyline, believable and all well acted. Kudos to you all

Dark sarcasm👏

It made me cry

Mad

Love it

Painting is for generations to see and feel mesmerized by the artist's unfathomable skills. The painting shown around 5:30 is not real artistry. A painting is of no use if masses don't connect with it. So stupid but definitely the film is nicely directed and acted.

She should've live for the sake of living in the joy of creating art. And apart from anything she herself was the beautiful art piece. There was a room for improvement in storyline. 🙏

Well done you guys xxx

awesome

Beautiful but sad and depressing too.

a nice movie!
