Great film

[directorhughes · 10/10 · 8 October 2020]

Real life with education- should be seen in every edicational system. Kids - as well as adults - have no idea.

Great for Young Adults!

[edakaragoz · 10/10 · 18 May 2020]

I would highly recommend this short film to anyone watching, but especially to youth. It encourages people to get STD/HIV tested and portrays a great message in an emotional manner.

Relatable

[agusdfv · 9/10 · 27 July 2018]

The classic locker room setting... ah where so many of us had anxious & coming-of-age moments growing up in high school. Having recently (3 years ago) graduated from high school, I think that the characters in this film and the actors portrayal of them are very relatable for teenagers who are discovering and learning to manage the intimacy and risk of sex & all its unintended consequences.The story of this film is simple and short, so it cannot really develop much plot but for the duration of the film it did hold my attention and evoke the emotions and experiences I remember from the locker room in high school.

World needs more of these smart films

[mick-fil-a · 10/10 · 13 October 2023]

This short film teaches more about important topics than majority of modern media in the US. The characters are well written and the situations are realistic enough to learn from the dialogue.

More artists should be focusing on films like this where you can teach the audience an important topic that isn't widely talked about. Especially with how important ones like the awareness of sexually transmitted diseases. They are serious and must be discussed more. This video can be used in a class room to teach our future generations.

Hopefully one day students can see these videos and learn important lessons from them!

Great short film!

[sarahbronnberg · 10/10 · 9 June 2021]

I really enjoyed watching this film. I will definitely recommend to a friend!

Excellent!

[Franck_x · 10/10 · 13 October 2023]

Excellent short film. This is an excellent material to show to the youth, and take them to learn the consequences of certain actions. The importance of looking for guidance from parents, and professionals in the matter.

Now, the short film message can be given to young individuals as well as to adults such as parents, since it shows the importance of creating a link of trust between the adolescent and the guardian/parent, to avoid escenarios as shown in the short film.

Given this base of trust, it may increase the encouragement of the adolescent in looking for ways to protect themselves, and get regular check-ups with health professionals.

Fantastic Short Film About Teen Sexual Health

[faraahbekheet · 10/10 · 23 July 2018]

The cast and crew did an amazing job of portraying a real issue that many young adults are afraid to voice. This is a great message to youth to care about their health!! Can't wait for the sequel!

WOW!!!

[micber397 · 10/10 · 27 July 2018]

There was so much emotion in this! Amazing!! Can't wait to see what happens next!!!!!

Important message!

[caitlynklein · 10/10 · 11 October 2023]

The script for this short film is sooo accurate. The opening scene with the two girls talking is an accurate representation of high school. It felt realistic, especially for young adults. I like how this film brings awareness to the point that even if you don't "sleep around", the person you have slept with might have. It shows that you should get tested because you never know what you might have gotten. I like how they describe the process of getting tested, just in case you might have not known. Even if you were "careful" doesn't mean you didn't catch something. I love the message of this short film and I love all the work F. L. O. W has created!

AMAZING

[dianasofiaramirez · 10/10 · 31 August 2020]

CLIFF HANGER !!!

[chelseachico · 9/10 · 27 July 2018]

This short film had me on the edge of my seat, can't wait to see what happens next as the plot thickens !! The cast did an amazing job getting the message across, hopefully you get it when you watch it :)

Awesome Film

[tatianampeixoto · 10/10 · 30 May 2023]

This is definitely a film worth watching! The message of increasing STD and HIV/AIDs awareness and testing is incredibly important. The film portrays this message through the use of highly relatable characters especially to those who are currently in high school. The acting is exceptional and the storyline is very well written. I would definitely recommend this film to everyone, especially to a younger high school audience as it is very relatable for them. I definitely think this film would be great to show within a classroom setting as it transmits an educational message in a very engaging way. This film was a great watch and does an amazing job of spreading awareness - definitely a 10/10 in my book.

KEEP IT COMING!

[tiffanyortiz-86497 · 10/10 · 2 July 2023]

This short film is worth the watch!!!! Great for young adults and adults who want an introduction and view into real world scenarios about HIV/STD testing and the importance of it. I have two younger siblings and I found this short film to be perfect to use when having to talk to them about these types of serious conversations. This also goes for my friends as well. It didn't feel awkward, I knew exactly what to say after showing them this short film. Great script writing. Fantastic actors! I want to see more short films from this group!!!!

If you haven't seen this yet, I highly recommend it!

AMAZING

[nxm-46215 · 10/10 · 26 July 2018]

I love this! The cast did an amazing job capturing the many emotions that are felt by adolescents that face this situation! I cannot wait to see how it all turns out!

Strong message about risky behaviors'

[grechsantiago · 10/10 · 5 September 2023]

This film does an excellent job at demonstrating the true vulnerability of teens and young adults engaging in risky behaviors. It's a real eye-opener when HIV hits close to Home and all of a sudden you may be the one getting a life-changing diagnosis.

I highly recommend this short film to anyone who thinks they are not at risk!! I guarantee this film will change the way you see and do things!

Finally, the actresses in the film both show characters with strong personalities, yet are easy to relate to. HIV is such a delicate topic to present, and I think the actors in this film do a great job of delivering a message of self love and sisterhood.

So informative

[kyleekjohnson · 10/10 · 16 October 2023]

It was really nice to see how they both were able to talk to each other and feel comfortable and not judged. You could really see the emotion on Candy's face when she sees that she is not alone and she has made a close friend. Not showing the results of the test also left us the viewers a sense of wow like we were really there in that room. All in all i'd say this was a really lovely short the emotions were there it was informative in a way that reaches younger audiences without getting boring. I cannot wait to see more on similar topics or just how they will continue to change this up very nice!

Great movie

[maiahunter · 10/10 · 28 July 2020]

[tightpants-18284 · 10/10 · 27 July 2018]

The movie was worth watching. I do not regret watching this movie. Everyone tell a friend!!!
