touch grass. (a short film) 

I hope this will show up in everyone's recommendations in like 1-5 years. (or now, that would be even better)

These Ford commercials are getting crazy. (For real though, I love how short this is while still having a good story/message)

idk what kind of awards they give for short films but this should win one.

you're playing with my heart strings with those dove sounds at the end

“ 🎵🎵We are stardust We are golden , And we’ve got to get ourselves , back to the garden” - Woodstock by Joni Mitchel Nice job !

this is so simple and yet so well done. amazing.

Jake you dirty dawg. Another freaking zinger. Felt this video big time. Touching grass is the best medicine though.

so good jake. loved the sound design !

That’s a cool concept, taken probably from a phrase that one can easily find being casually thrown around in today’s social media glossary - Go out and “touch some grass”. Kudos to you and the people involved in the production, we need more short films like these (and I’m about to contribute in that). Alright, off to touch some grass 🌱☘️…

Wow! This is remarkable! A beautiful and simple story told well

omg love everything here! nice light, great colours, lit framing, just love your work!

It’s refreshing to watch a YT short film with dialogue. You crushed it as always sir!

Shout out to Sir Joshua David Brown III !!! Nice work as always Jake

Beautiful, Meaningful, full of Truth! Thanks for sharing!

Creative short Jake, well done. It left me wanting to see the rest of his journey.

This was awesome! Fantastic work,

wow! I didn't know where this was heading but I love the unique take at the end! glad to have found this channel

I always dig your work, man!

Nature ❤

Love it! Amazing how quiet things get when you touch nature.

Bro , THIS is soo fire . love it alot ! keep killing it

Jake, you've quickly become an instant watch. I know I'm gonna enjoy your videos before I even click on them.

I needed to see this today... Sometimes I get lost thinking about all the suffering that is happening around the world, and feeling like I can't really do anything about it. I try to do good around me and my community, and even though I don't have much I still feel like I live in a privileged little bubble away from the horrors of war and extreme poverty. That thought sometimes consumes me. I guess I just need to touch some grass

Movies for gamer 🗣🔥

This is incredible. Thank you.

I love a good composition and this video is full if it, including the last frame

A short film with the Jake Frew aesthetic, this made me smile :)

Love it, great stuff Jake

Brilliant, as always. Thank you for reminding me to step away from the addiction of fear media and step into the beauty that surrounds us.💖🙏🏼

Man I've been thinking and talking to my friends and family about this so much recently. It's easy to live in a bubble of negativity because horrible information gets the most engagement and therefore the most attention on the internet. That makes sense because of our higher sensitivity to negative information. I made the choice to step away from my phone, social media (except youtube sometimes) and the news because I started losing any hope that the future could be better then now... In fact it became a doom spiral that caused me to become ultra pessimistic about any endeavour I was pursuing. I became a black hole, sucking all the light out of anyone that happened to be in my way. The thing was, when I put the phone down and looked around the room, I saw none of the things that I was consuming. My life was actually pretty good, great actually. The further I got away from the internet, the more positive and hopeful I became for the future. Yeah, there's still so much bad in the world, but is it happening to you? Maybe it is. But, why make it worse by taking in the horrors of the world? What are you going to do about it anyway? Simply knowing about it or discussing it over a coffee with your friends still doesn't change jack f*** all. My opinion is that it's better to block it out, be more positive and try to lift up the people around you because you're just great to be around: Lift up your corner of the world. You know that feeling when a stranger compliments you or flashes you a kind smile? Yeah, that s*** feels nice. You could be that nice. We all could be that nice. It's so easy to fall back into the trap of junk content aimed at your limbic system for vanity metrics, just like it's easier to smash chocolate than broccoli, but damn I'm trying. This video encapsulates that feeling perfectly, and I loved it.

the depiction of today’s mind chaos 🤌 *chefs kiss*

very nice shots!

As a fellow creator who just made the move from NYC to Denver, this hit close to home. I lived in NYC all throughout the rise and peak and through the end of the pandemic, and the constant news cycles and noise surrounding everything was deafening. The ringing effect that you added was essentially what my mind felt like every day. Getting out to CO, and taking a breath in was like a reset. This video almost feels nostalgic as it also looks forward. Incredible work as always, Jake!

Interesting perspective. Give the obverse a try. The state of mind that develops while dwelling in the remote 'natural' environment. You know, the unending search for food, secure shelter, protection from predation or attack by other groups that want your 'stuff', reliable and safe water supply and the unending 'assault' of the elements. That, after all, is what led us to where we are now...in a very brief span of about 2.5 million yrs- most of the rapid changes occurring in the last blink of 25 k yrs.

Grounding = wellbeing. Nicely brought to life 👌🏼

WOW!!!!

What. A. Masterpiece. This is slick, bro.

cold

Very good i like how much emotion and real it feels with only on actor and it looks very self filmed

Yuhhhh orange county baby

Great work mate, this dropped at a great time in history. 🎩

i got lost in the story and my subconscious started to believe there was an actual apocalypse or something of that nature irl and i was like "GET IN THE CAR!!" It's fun to be that engaged. Why did you have to hurt our hearts with the mourning dove?

👉🌾❤ so well done. That grass shot at then end was 🔥

Great job guys! I hope I can become this good ome day! 😄

Guys I did it, I touched grass for the very first time. Although unfortunately a monster rash has overtaken my leftermost arm and these doctors are calling it an allergic reaction or something, I don’t know doctors are so unreliable these days. Somebody’s probably just playing a prank on me, happens all the time

I wish i can turn off the news and go off grid, but unfortunatelly my friends and familly are still in Ukranine being bombed daily. So I do wake up every morning and check that they are okay. Good movie, tho. Can't wait when the life is a bit more peacefull for eveyone.

Tell RDJ to sit his little ass down, this is SJDIII time.

Its touch gRass..silence for those who read touch gLass.. Twp minutes of silence for me 😂😂

The real question is... Will you go touch grass now???

Pollen Allergy 📈

Umm. Ok. Great cinematography, though. 🙂

About what this short film? I`m just one here who don`t understand?

That transition at the beginning, going from a night shoot with the police lights to a bright sunny day, was awkward.

Bro, you just do not miss. Everything you put out is so damn good!!!
