    Howdy y'all 🤠 I'm Gregory, the Director & Writer for POCKET BOYFRIEND. Thank you for being here! I hope you revisit this film when you need inspiration to move on and let go.

    This is why I love shorts! This translates well what is it that we do with that void left by someone who's not there anymore, be it an ex or a diceased loved one. Both actors were spot on and Theresa is lovely.

      Exactly! The void left by someone...also yes, Theresa Rowley is a movie star.

    “I out grew you…. But I didn’t want to lose everything, I wanted to keep something from that time.”
    Beautifully brought to life the complexities of relationships through a funny and unique premise.
    Quick shout out to some of the shots in that film too. Particularly the dock shot at 8:23 😮‍💨

      Thank you Andrew! That's exactly what we set out to do. White Rock Lake looks good on camera!

    IT''s LIVE!!! So exciting. This film really captures a feeling most of us feel after a breakup and can't put into words. Great work.

    We always keep a little piece of them. They are each part of what made us who we are.

    I liked it. It left a lot of questions unanswered and that's good, because that's how it works in real life. Story was unique, performances solid. Music was outstanding.
    Minor, minor, MINOR quibble. She tells him they're not dating anymore, then immediately follows it with a line about living together for 3 1/2 years. Most people wouldn't call cohabitation 'dating'.
    I look forward to seeing more from you.

    Sadly, this is too true. As a husband and a boyfriend, I've always been disposable. Most men are treated as pocket boyfriends. Cut-outs

    • @dowellers
      @dowellers  Před 3 měsíci +3

      We're sorry to hear that! The hope is that the metaphor in this film empowers everyone to see value in themselves, both big and small. Men navigate nuanced and complex roles in our society and it's interesting to see how it wears on all types of folks.
