So sad when she said, "So were you". Great life' lesson

Wow, the film's theme about insecurity is very relatable. We look for evidence to confirm or justify our insecurities and he found a pattern in her past then assigned negative meaning to support his insecurity. He didn't feel like he belonged with her and was insecure but projected his insecurity on her and self sabotaged only to realize his mistake too late. Great film.

Interesting, I took from it that if you are being fetishized - Does the person really love you or just the thought of you? Are you really an individual to them or just some reaction to combat their upbringing. The girlfriend said as much herself. She didn’t know if her penchant for dating people who didn’t look like her (white) was a reaction to her xenophobic upbringing or not. The ending where she stated that he was also perfect for her showed she truly did love him as an individual and not as a fetishized ideal to prove something to herself by being contrary to her upbringing.

When you keep bringing up the past in a relationship , you change the future of it to null.

you don't get into a relationship with someone who has a past of sleeping with multiple men

The creepy White Lotus music adds to the suspenseful vibe. Great film.

the shock sound effect after "i really fancy an indian." cracked me up. great work!!

Thoroughly enjoyed it. Felt every bit of the pain an sadness. Wow! We are our own worst enemy sometimes

I've just come from Big Ears. I don't think she was fetishising Indian guys, it was more a personal preference. For him, his worries and insecurities really overtook having a balanced perspective and inevitably jeopardised his relationship. I wonder if he'd had therapy he could've looked at his emotions and thought processes more objectively and the outcome could've been they were still together. But I feel empathy for him. Haven't a lot of people done this? I have. Been so caught up in a perspective which one fully convinces themselves was right, but it's a perspective which is skewed, dominated by a personal narrative which most likely stemmed from fear and a need to self protect. Not realising until hindsight, one has made a choice which completely affected the outcome? 💖

This is great..hugs. Shows how our insecurities keep us from so much life.. it’s ok. Compassion. It’s my path to learning to love myself. Thank you great movie

This popped up on my feed and immediately drew me in with the cover. So glad I watched it. Have sent it on to some freinds to watch as well. Fantastic short film, thank you for your work and congrats on it!

My pediatrician used to call me “beta” and cup my chin in her hand- I know this was not at all about that moment, but it immediately gave me warm feelings. I was at the doctor a lot for respiratory problems as a child and it was always a comfort. I miss her smile. Lovely, lovely job to everyone involved.

Ooft, he was in his own head and now you're in mine 🤣 so many questions and possibilities. That was great, thanks. Worth the wait.

Honestly I get this. I get his insecurities. I married a white man(and im black) and at first it seemed like love but any more, it only seems like I'm a black girl fetish to him. Why? you ask. Because the girls he cheated on me with are black girls.

Being attracted to certain features doesn’t have to be about racism. Insecurities and being reductive can lead a person to project it as racism though. Your ex’s biggest issue is cheating-he just happens to like black women. Assuming you’re hetero, you like men, does that make you homophobic?

SAMMMMMMMM! Such a great film! Amit is ALWAYS superb! Bravo & congrats and all that schtuff!

As we saw in the classic Spike Lee joint “Jungle Fever”, racial fetishes are REAL, y’all. The key question here is: “Is the relationship based on love (which is deep) or based on the fetish (which is shallow).” A racial fetish feels very different than an interracial relationship that is based on love, admiration, honesty & respect (especially when it involves women of colour👈🏽). I will say this was an honest movie🎥 but I didn’t buy that she loved the Caucasian guy at the end (a Black guy would have been a nice addition to the story, just saying🤷🏽‍♀️) But IMO this couple did the right thing by breaking up…I believe she did fetishize him and that would have forever plagued him.❤️‍🩹

The Indian actor played a gay dude in a tv series with Jonathan Bailey.

so men can date blonde models who look alike again and again but she can't have a preference. Cmon

Next time don't think of getting a woman pregnant if you are not yet mature enough to overcome past relationships.

Sad. Hopefully that fear of being fetishized isn’t too widespread in real life. If you’re true to yourself, you should have an easy enough time falling in love with a real one and knowing where they’re actually coming from.

Same here…but that said, I don’t think she has an Indian fetish. Just a promiscuous floozy who would get with any man of any race, shape or size.

The same thing happened to me, I dated someone who don’t date men of her race, I was also feeling insecure, especially when I notice some of the men were very ugly.

I don’t see the issue here. I’m black and if I liked white culture and only wanted to date white what’s wrong wit that as long as I’m not shaming or downplaying black women. So what?! I hate how majority of black ppl love so it’s not my preference. So what?!
