- A young woman accidentally sends a confessional text to her crush.
SEASICK is used with permission from Lindsey Ryan. Learn more at / seasickfilm .
Sadie is a deckhand working on a ferry boat for the summer. It's an unglamorous job, but it's enlivened by her co-workers -- most especially the ferry captain, Jess, whom Sadie has a crush on.
Sadie is texting a friend about her crush on Jess when her attention is distracted, so she doesn't realize until it is too late that she didn't text her friend -- she sent the text somehow to Jess instead. Though the reception on her cell phone is thankfully not working this far out on the water, Sadie must try to intercept the message somehow before they go back to shore and her secret comes out.
Directed and written by Lindsey Ryan, this quietly compelling short drama is not just an intimate and incisive study about the quiet mortifications of a hidden romantic yearning, when saying or doing the wrong thing at the wrong time could lead to embarrassment. Immersed in a watery setting that is both wide-open and isolated, it's also a sharply observed portrait of how hiding a fundamental part of one's self and identity can raise the stakes of even the most ordinary mishaps, imbuing what should be normal young lives and milestones with a sense of peril and fear.
Reflecting the introverted, shy nature of its main character, the storytelling has a naturalistic, observational tenor, watchful of reactions, gestures and textures of moments. Sadie is on the margin of things, not quite belonging to her group of co-workers, led by the outgoing, charismatic Jess. Part of that is Sadie's shyness, but it's also by design: Sadie fears the discovery of her queer identity. But when she sends off a confessional type of text to Jess by accident, that secret threatens to come out, though Sadie gets something of a break because of her cell phone's slowness, allowing her to grapple with her feelings and try to find a way to rectify the situation.
As Sadie, actor Pauline Chalamet (of HBO's Sex Lives of College Girls) deftly captures not just a girl shimmering with the excitement of a crush nearby, but also the fundamental sensitivity of the character, whose latent anxieties heighten to acute panic due to the situation. Yet Sadie must still hide her spiraling emotions from the surface, adding to the stress of the situation and conveying the layers of fear and shame she deals with.
Though SEASICK offers Sadie a reprieve and ends on something of a zinger, what comes through is just how agonizing it is to keep a fundamental secret in a world that could be hostile to one's self. The storytelling's elegant, pared-down nature never overstates, but its sensitivity puts us in Sadie's headspace, and when she must reconcile herself to the notion of being discovered, we feel her pain that it's not on her own terms. Yet she summons her inner resolve to confront the situation finally, when she realizes the act of hiding is not sustainable anymore, both in the situation and for herself. - Krátké a kreslené filmy

Not only the Apple phones are waterproof, bet the messages are on backup anyway...
Lies,lies.waterproof? Mmmmmh,backing up pics? Own setting,not always the case....
And this pub for I phone? Well,a samsung or oppo at half the price have these features ...
Not really a good movie.But! I am a babyboomer,I always say what I think,and I do not like Iphones....😮😅
I mean yeah 🤣👍
Good thing we can unsend messages now
Ikr
can we?!? how?!!
You can't unsend messages once they're in a person's phone@@helenepajot7744
Exactly 💯
Really? on imessage?
Honestly, she could’ve saved herself from the panic and just borrowed the phone for a call. Not a big deal
Exactly 💯
😂
Oh hey my phone just died can I use yours, I really have to call my cousin who is very sick. Problem solved. 👍
"Oh no, I just got this!"
_(Yaaay!)_
"All the new iPhones are waterproof."
_(Nooooo!)_
Oh good you got it.
All she had to do was tell the Captain her text/pic was a mistake & that she was trying to snap the dude & send it to her friend. Duh. Forget all the lesbo panic.
Lesbo panic 💀
I mean yeah 👍
@@NikkiM6593 at the lesbo disco
She's Introvert 😄
This is absolutely brilliant. Perfect storytelling, and love the triple plot-twist flash at the end. One of the best Omeletos in a long time, and ever!
Loved this. Really great job on the edit keeping the audience attention. Can’t wait for the next short🔥🔥🔥🔥
Sea sick / love sick . . i felt her panic.
Is that Timothy Chalemets sister?
Awesome acting performances 😎
Not*
Nice shots, nice cut.
Well played 😂❤ Brilliant 😁
Also what was your camera(s) of choice?
I do not get it!
Awesome 😎
I guess in the end she had nothing to worry about. Hopefully she'll have the chance to open up and tell her one day. This short film was nice.
Consider, if you will, the fact that cell ones have COMPLETELY taken over the lives of anyone under the age of 40. It's pretty sad. I asked a teenaged girl the other day how long cell fones have been around. Her response? 50 years.
This is true , but from age 4 and up , internet has taken over ..
Cell phones were invented in 1973 so her response is remarkably accurate
@@dfb2913Oppositional much?
@@dfb2913- But they didn't become really popular till the late '90s.
Hahahah 🤣, excellent...waiting for part 2 ... cheers to you 🤟🎶
Oh no, what now? We need a part 2!
dope!
Well...the cats out of the bag.....so, see what happens...either way there are a lot worse things in life...
I just realised that's timothee chalamet's sister
I think older people know that younger people will say and do almost anything when it comes to romance. Jesse likely lets her down with a smile
Older? She couldn’t have been more than 30. Now I feel like I’m ancient
Perhaps meaning "more experienced people." At 30 you understand more than a person in their 20s. And, even a few more years in the 20s matters. Our brains are not fully formed until age 25. The brain's frontal lobe, especially the prefrontal cortex, isn't fully mature until around age 25. The development of the pre-frontal cortex of the frontal lobe allows us to process the pros and cons of a decision before it is made.

@@jamiejoygatto That's exactly what I meant. Plus, unless we're sociopaths, we think of ourselves a little less and have a little bit more compassion
@@johnkennedy4023 Yes, it's true!
Putting it airplane mode def would’ve canceled that send..
I tried that once. It sent.
@@user-wh5ir4fo4r oh no! I felt your anxiety when I read this. heehee
They didn't honk 3 times to reverse...
Literally unwatchable
Why?@@holyturbinebatman
Exactly 💯
I don't quite understand what this was all about but that's okay. Maybe she had a crush on the captain or something, I don't know.
Did you not read the video description?
@@jamespaul2587 You do realise that the *entire point* of a production or short film is to successfully portray the story, *using the short film* right?
@@MrMelonsz yes, and this was not difficult to understand
Did you watch the movie? :D
I’m with you, hard to follow the texts that I can’t see lol
shocked n laughed a lil bit when i see the tn bc im like boi is it the girl from SLOCG n im exactly right lol
Huh??
Sending Dramamine
Sucked ! Flew through it! Had to be gay again huh? Such a new idea
Is scissoring a real thing LOL
My God get an Android and you won't have that problem
As a guy, we laugh, because this is such a nothing burger 🍔
At least Apple phones can unsend messages
Why are there disproportionally more Womann in Omeleto-Films than Men?
You have any data to back that up? I've been watching Omeleto shorts for a number of years now, and have never noticed any preponderence of women.
@@MisterG2323 Literally scroll down and look at the thumbnails
No need for data to prove somehting this obvious
@@slevinchannel7589 there is always need for data when you make absolute statements. You mention numbers by saying "more than." If it is true then perhaps it is because women are more complex and more beautiful than men.
Weird 😅
apple plug
Good Film. Ending should have been different, like a Kiss or something. PS. Apple iPhones aren't Water Proof, they are Water Resistant. No Mobile is Water Proof in this World.
And they lived happily ever after?
I found the story to be confusing. It seems over rated.
@@eugenetswongAgreed. But nice film making!
That is definitely true. I would totally accept the chance to be in that film.@@beatweezl
she looks like timothee chalamet
That's his sister.
That was absolutely terrible.
How novel, I thought this was going to be a rare male and female crush for a change,,,,,,,
I don’t get it.
Boooor-ing!
Not a real chef d'oeuvres,this film,I will say....
But pardon me,I do not like I phones. Samsung or Oppo at half this pricey iphones have the same features....😮
ping
Meh
Meh.
Can someone explain????
If you turn your phone off in the middle of a send like that it won’t actually send
Another LGBT-whatev episode? A bit of over representation, wouldn’t you say?
If we’re trying to reflect actual population ratios, it should be less than one per 20, or thereabouts.
Or maybe I’m mixing it up with the Black Mirror I watched this week. Lol
I liked it..
That's what I was thinking....more gay crap
loved it == cute story.Don't be such a snowflake.
Have you never been to Fire Island? Underrepresention I would say!
this is not on a schedule of percentages. These movies are free. You are free. You are also free to watch another channel. Or any other video.
Thanks for some more indoctrination from Cloud Woke
The worst acting I’ve seen on this channel, and to be fair, there has been some great acting. Just sayin’.
Well played 😂❤ Brilliant 😁
