- ODE TO THE SINGING BUTLER brings to life the characters of Jack Vettriano's iconic painting, "The Singing Butler.” With an original award-winning score by Jake Weinstein, the film explores the moments leading up to the iconic image of the man and woman dancing on the beach.

Thanks. A great living work of art!
So i know most peope on this page wont put the same effort or thought into this comment like i have, I grew up dealing with drugs and abuse not really knowing where i fit. Every time there was a problem it was no problem for me to move once again to my grandmothers. At this place i got to learn, love, laugh, and make friends even ones i met online to a the same degree i hold anyone i know irl. This painting was hanging up for even longer than my mother can know, during one of the last nights she was alive i looked up at the wall and saw this same picture that had been hanging up in the only place i called home or loved during my childhood. Other than the little things like this painting my thoughts would have no where to reside or collect it would be a endless void of trying to connect memories to places i dont remember. But this painting was in MY home My place. No more moving house to house or apartment to apartment. This short film means more to me than literally anything on here and you would have never knew this painting or this short would effect someone like me, i want to be a film director and maybe one day use the feeling i get from this in the way to explain without words how i feel. Thank you.
Thank you for this lovely message. I'm so glad our short film brought joy into your life. Wishing you all the best! Cheering you on. Can't wait to see one of your films some day.
Thank you for your heartfelt comment , and it is so wonderful this beautiful video art evoked in you such feelings : a real tribute to everyone involved . I wish you all the best for your future . 🐬
Absolutely beautiful

beautiful, nice job!
Qué bello esto :)
Fucking brilliant, photography blew me away, a meisterstück in facet
A brilliant film interpretation of Jack Vettriano's, 'The Singing Butler', beautifully shot, great choreography, and excellent musical score. I look forward to the next offering!
Original and nicely done.
This....was just beautiful. The funny bits with the butler and maid added a sweet bit of charm. I love how there is so much expression;her turning to the maid in a bit of stunned confusion, his earnest smile, and the tossing of the ring when she said yes. This is one of my favpurite paintings and I felt like applauding when they all took their places right at the end!
4:59, the cutest scene
I watched this while I was listening "Euritan Dantzan (a song by Gatibu)" which means "dancing in the rain" in basque, I loved it. Beautiful video. Thank you.
I... love art 😭
Thanks!
