How was that a twist? Any guy who receives a message or call from their girlfriend saying that they shouldn't be together anymore, especially on Prom night, would be devastated. What did you think would happen?

I really loved this! Relatable, creepy, but no horrible ending (which is refreshing sometimes, even in a horror short). Well done :)

when she cried after breaking the mirror she thought her friends were gone forever that put tears into my eyes. knowing she knew her real friends were in the mirror stuck all she wanted was her friends back.

i LOVED that last touch of the door slamming shut by itself and the light turning off. what i love most about horror is just a really good old fashioned haunted house story. very well done!

dude Todd's voicemail at the end LMAOOO im screaming, somebody please help the poor man

Oh my. I love Olivia and the funny voices she does when mocking something because it's so real! But they all do a great job. Really nailed the roles and that teenage angst as high school ends but the next phase of your life hasn't started. Fun short.

Loved it!! The three actresses chemistry was SO AUTHENTIC!!!! I had to remember that they were just acting!

Wow, this was really good!! Nice twist on 'Be careful what you wish for' meets 'Sometimes those who offer you everything.....are really taking everything.' Perfectly-filmed & acting was good!! Well done.

Really sweet movie. I love how the two friends care about the third enough to leave their prom to take care of her when she's feeling depressed. The mirror part adds some refreshing horror elements so it's not just a sappy movie. Overall, really well done, thanks for making it

Good, good, good!!!!💯 These are the shorts I love!!! No more mental illness/hidden meaning shorts! I have to keep my fingers crossed every time I watch one of these. This one was GREAT!!!!

"You wouldn't want to take that away from them..." I mean, if _they_ would take it away from _her,_ then only a saint would be so selfless in return. True love works both ways. And there are more important things in life than happiness; no, I wouldn't want someone I love to be happier at the expense of more important things, like honor, health and family. I hate how most people conflate "love" with "desiring your pleasure".

This was amazing. Thank you so much for sharing.💕

Random, but I love that her friends called her Vee. That's such a cute nickname for Olivia! 🤗💖 Also I loved this short! I felt like something was up with her friends after she flipped the mirror. Them being all giggly &+ suddenly not wanting to go back to prom. I haven't finshed it yet only at 7:57, but I have a feeling the mirror trapped her friends when it flipped, &+ is showing her friends in a way that she'd want them to be? 🤔😄

@@maggotbitch I used to believe the same thing until I figured myself out and went back to my ex to explain, give him closure, and come out. Yes, come out. As in there was a good reason we couldn't date anymore. Then he wanted to get back together with me when he realized I didn't leave him because of anything he did or because I disliked him. Most people need closure, but some just need to be left alone. I learned that the hard way. I can't tell which kind prefers what, so I'd still recommend closure, but I think people need to be careful and aware that some people just don't know how to let go, even with closure.

amazing story, amazing actors as well as amazing execution.... kudos

oooooo me like. the shift in behavior from the friends caught my attention but i couldn't put my finger on it. i was half expecting the "new" friends to be faking and show up at the end. regardless, it was great.

They don’t make any films at all. They acquire the rights to show short films made by others. I think they might’ve started producing one or two here and there after the channel took off but basically it’s a platform for short film producers from all over to display their work.

Some kind of possession thing related to the mirror. Like doppelgängers or something. I dunno, it’s probably best left ambiguous, it lets you speculate and come up with theories.

@@MisterG2323 Oh Todd is definitely having a shitty day. Not sure him and Tanya are going to make it tbh... But the focus for us was externalizing that internal Olivia's anxiety so that she's forced to deal with it. In this case, what we wanted to explore was how when you're in that kind of destructive self hate - even if you think you're not hurting someone else, you still do. So to go through that realization, ultimately Olivia had to make the choice to save her friends rather than lets the mirror win. That being said - the whole concept started as a feature film... so it's possible you're catching breadcrumbs for a bigger plot...

by the way, if anybody is wondering, the song at 5:20 is called Capo 9 by Angus Maude ☺

Olivia shattered the mirror....therefore 'breaking the deal' she had made with the demonic doubles. That freed her friends & sent her evil double back to its dimension.
