The short film, I Walk With Ghosts, based on a poem written by me. It’s been around the world and is finally out and available to everyone!

We shared love through the music taste we have. It is the very first time, my music vibes matched with someone and it was you ♡

The Accident

The film explores the theme of fate, love and the risk we face when we decide to trust our heart to another person. The film shows how difficult it is to give yourself a chance for happiness after bitter losses and disappointments, as well as how important it is not to be afraid to take a step towards new feelings, even if the path seems too risky.

A Bullet Is Waiting (1954)

"I hope you don't think that I'm taking your side against Mr. Munson. All those nice things that you did, like taking care of the lamb and getting supper ready, I saw through them easily. You're probably everything that Mr. Munson says you are."

"Oh, I'm a very bad character."

About the list of favorite bl I want to add a personal selection from Thailand: the short 'Before I love you' from Imagine Thailand in YouTube. Short and sweet.

Oh, Anon, my list of favorite Thai BLs could never contain all my favorite short films because I love so many! So I'm thrilled you recommended "Before I Love You" since I only watched the first part and never knew there were other parts, AND I could not figure out where I knew this Past-Senger jerk from!

Meen was in the first "Before I Love You" AND he has directed a few short BL films too for the Once in Memory series.

But to your ask -

I liked the first eight-minute part Phu x Tawan [two friends realize they want to be more than friends], but the second part bothered me since it came out five months later and is less than two minutes with a happy ending, yet threw an unnecessary complication in the mix.

Now, because of your ask, I went and watched the other installments.

Rain x Storm [freshman boy stalks his senior crush then realizes his crush likes him back] was cute because it was Secret Crush on You before Secret Crush on You. The narrator was also funny with her calling out Rain for being a psycho, but a psycho in love. Toh, is that you boo boo?

Mek x Mork [a man's friends sneakily try to set him up with one of their co-workers] was odd because those girls were too invested in Mork getting a man by all means including lies and manipulation, but you know what? Gaslight. Gatekeep. Girlboss. I support it.

BONUS! Because once I clicked on these, my recommended list gave me Imagine Thailand's "Romantic Station" [a guy wakes up on a stranger's shoulder while waiting for the train only to realize his wallet is missing] and it was great! I loved it!

And finally, "Night of Love" [a couple celebrates their three-month anniversary by having sex for the first time] is excellent because it shows safe sex, open conversations, and the morning after shenanigans.

Now let me go watch some of the company's other offerings. Thanks, Anon! And if any of you have other short film recs, feel free to tag me!

The Blue Lagoon (1980) is actually a good movie that was bogged down by questionable casting and piled on by critics, but y'all aren't ready for that conversation yet.
