- A man is cut off from his son.
NAYSAYER is used with permission from David M. Helman. Learn more at davidmhelman.com.
A young father, Ian, is on the road, speeding down the highway and trying to talk to his wife on the phone. Recently separated from her, he feels he's being unfairly kept away from his newborn son Colin. And he's now taking matters into his own hands.
But when he finally gets his wife on the phone, alliances will shift and feelings will change as new information emerges during the course of the conversation.
Directed by David M. Helman and written by Nathaniel David Shriver, Naysayer features an intense performance by THE WALKING DEAD actor Steven Yeun, who holds the screen on his own with compelling agitation and intensity.
Playing a father struggling to be a part of his son's life, Yeun brings the initial emotional dilemma of the film to life with conviction, and each story beat adds a layer of complexity to our understanding of him and his motives. He works beautifully off of a voice performance by actress Alanna Masterson, who manages to convey a rich spectrum of feeling and realization without appearing onscreen. Character and situation are rendered through excellent and precise dialogue, which masterfully controls the information available to the viewer, while deepening our engagement with Ian as a character.
Visually, NAYSAYER is a road movie, with Ian on the run as he travels through the rich yet desolate desert landscape, a small speck on a vast expanse. The moving landscape adds to the visual dynamism of the short, while also underscoring Ian's isolation and desperation. As the film slowly darkens -- and the sound design ratchets the intensity with a baby's increased wailing in the background -- so does the audience's understanding of what's really going on with Ian.
Using a gracefully executed, emotionally devastating sleight-of-hand, the final twist is heart-wrenching, both for Ian as he confronts the meaning of his actions and for the audience, who gets the whole picture of what is happening, and why. Revealing itself in the end as an emotional mystery, it begs for a re-watching of the short -- and shows how things are never as they entirely seem, especially in domestic conflicts, though it can be easy to make it seem so. - Krátké a kreslené filmy
Maggie really be stressing my boy out
Actually, if you notice the credits, I believe that's Tara on the phone! 🙊
@@BoydOfPray Hes making a joke from the walking dead lad apparently you dont have a sense of humour
@@kanecallaghan1954 I just thought it was interesting that another Walking Dead actor was the voice on the phone lad. And I thought I'd share that because I don't know how many other people caught that. I get the joke though, thanks.
@@BoydOfPray no problem lad
Noah Batterson LoL ikr
Dude did that whole acting on one take.
@Dave"Nyce"Katulak it's...still a way longer than your average shot and still impressive.
@@edddmund yes
Clearly a lot of people don't get it. This is freaking amazing. Steven Yeun is an incredible actor
@Dave"Nyce"Katulak Try to understand what the person is saying before you try to act smart.
@Dave"Nyce"Katulak getting the lines right, showing emotion, knowing who speaks when and when he can talk, ...
I KNEW there was a reason she was so strangely calm!
i find that.
I thought it was bad acting at first but then it all made sense.
I mid video idk why yet
@@tracerit yo me too
Could you please share?!
Mental health is no joke. This brilliantly was delivered.
Agreed.
Mental joke no is health. Was this delivered brilliantly.
@So Jorn it was deep fried and eaten like a kentuckys fried children
@So Jorn he never really had the baby, his ex had the baby and let it cry into the phone at the end to let the dad know he was delusional.
did anyone think in the end he was going to crash his car in the end or is that just me
i thought for a second that maybe he grabbed the wrong baby
Me too
Same. Would've made more sense after being away from his son.
I thought that as well frfr
So what was the deal there was never a baby in he car to begin with
Elisaundre so he was just imagining a baby in the car when there wasn't a baby there
The cinematography made me stay, the tension kept me from looking away, and the ending made this one of my favorite short films.
Negan hit him so hard he traveled to another dimension
Gocolas 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Abbilynn Payne :)
lmao nuuuu :(
😂
Dude🤣😭
The moment he realized he’s the one who’s not in the right mind 😭
There's many ways to interpret this:
Schizophrenia - The child was a figment of his hallucination that's why even the woman on the phone is not alarmed - because the baby is not real. Yes, it showed he saw photos of a baby on his phone, but that's what schizophrenia does, it makes you believe on things that aren't there.
Grief/Trauma - The baby probably is deceased and he can't cope with the death. My aunt went through that, believe me it took her 2 decades to accept that my cousin (who died at age of 5) was really gone. She believed he'd come back, she believed that he was still around. Would leave a seat on the dining table, his room was kept to how he left it, would still say something like "Sorry he couldn't make it to your party" etc
Dementia/Short term memory - He forgets that he and his wife are divorced, the baby is with her, everything. The clue was her constant asking "tell me where you are". One of the first signs of dementia is not knowing where you are and what you were doing.
I'd like to believe it is more schizophrenia.
I swear to God that I was looking exactly for this kind of comment which would've explained what kind of sicknesses or mental illnesses it could've been. Thanks man
I think what happened is that the baby is with the mother. The part when she said "Ian, I want you to listen", she held the phone close to the crying baby. Ian looked to his back seats and realizes that the baby is not there but with the mother.......
Michelle Neelie the point was to emphasize what his mind is doing. He’s constantly hearing his son even though the child wasn’t there the entire time. There never was a baby with him
You're medically correct. But I think film producers would pick an illness that is known by large number of people. So I'd say it's the schizophrenia.
Michelle Neelie but like, where did the baby go
Great touch to use a phone with a shattered screen. The way he looks through a broken screen to see the photos is how he uses his broken memory to remember his family’s situation.
Exactly -- the cracked screen hints at his mental state and his obsession with his child. Very sad and powerful.
And his fractured view of reality,
steven is so talented, he needs to be in more films
Watch burning, Steve act pretty well on it
This aged well 👍🏼 He’s been nominated for an Oscar for his role in Minari
Watch him in Invincible....
He on walking dead
Glen lives
The best stories are always the simplest ones told in a compelling way.
Broo I thought he took the wrong kid or something lmaooo
Me too! I thought he'd snatched someone else's baby 😌
Same here, I was waiting for it haha
Wait I’m confused did he have it or like? Cuz I heard it in the beginning
steven is my favorite actor. he’s one of my favorite people on this planet. his acting is so compelling, he’s very educated and is capable to have intellectual conversations with people. he can put his ego aside and focus on his family. i love steven.

Jesus you're like this guy in the video
Sameeeee
Right when I read “Steven Yuen”, I clicked on the video.
Same dude

Who is he again?
Steven is absolutely brilliant. His acting is so multidimensional. He says everything without saying anything. The stifled emotion, the disgust in his expressions. He’s absolutely captivating.
First time watching this, I was so nervous and worried for the baby, not sure what's going on here. Second time, after understanding the problem, re-watching it just makes me feel much more painful for all the patients who suffer from mental illness. How scary mental issue is...
One film, but two different emotions.
Speechless! Such an amazing one!
I stopped watching the walking dead after they killed his character off
The show died with him, so I don’t blame you.
sameeee
Caustic Soda And me.😔
I kept watching but they basically just keep killing off characters and adding new ones
@@loganhollis4891 Milking in other words...
brilliant portrayal of mental illness and steven yeun is an absolute gem. this was great
Wow..... Had to watch the ending 3 times to understand what is happening. When she said "Ian, I want you to listen" she held the phone to the baby (crying). Ian heard the baby crying over the phone and looked at the back seat to realize that the baby is with her.......
Scary.....
OMG! you're right.
this took you 3 times?
I got it! His son is invisible!
Why didn’t I think of it before we need to take him to a school for the gifted
John cena?
I don't think you should make a sarcastic joke abt that, but too late now
No he has schizophrenia he thinks the baby is there but he actually isn't there
This is the best i've seen from steven yeun since the walking dead, definetley one of the underrated actors, he should be shown more in the industry, what an amazing actor
I dated a guy with paranoid schizophrenia. I thought we could make it work as I too hear and see things. But he was way deeper in his illness than myself. I didn't let my illness control me or define me. I make an effort to over come it. He on the other hand laid into his illness using it as an excuse for the hurtful things he did and said. He would go on these binges of telling me about how I'm going to die if I eat this. Or do this. He started to obsess over my health and stressing me out. It got to the point where I feared for my life and unsafe I broke it off.
I feel bad for him. I have no clue what goes on in his head but I couldn't sit around and wait for it to get worse.
I hope everything is fine with you now 🙂
@@gargdevhuti8924 Woah I honestly forgot about this. Put that in my past and buried it. By the grace of Yahweh alone I'm good as good can get lol. Thank you!
Spoiler alert!!!
What a powerful short about mental issue. Steven was phenomenal. I was really worried for the baby up until the end then I was just sad for him and them. 😢
Thanks a lot !!! Dammit
Phoenix Uprising can you explain?
Phoenix uprising what do you mean?
@@kaylamorgan8165 he is paranoic
Very compelling. Amazing film. The buildup is intense. So many combinations of potential tragedy run through the viewers head...
This made me cry, the moment he realizes what's going on. Wow wow wow.
I don't think he ever "knew what was going on" at the end. I think he just spaced out.
I actually thought it's some kind of prequel of TWD focussing on him.
*Well, I forgot that he was a pizza boy and wasn't married* 😅
I think he's going to be Glenn forever.
@@jerrysstories711 sadly him and his career died.
@@grindergaming8286 Yeah, sadly it's true.
He WAS married, to Meggie and they had a child two + Stewen Yeun is NOT Glenn Rhee.
@@Nannnnnnnnnna Well, he wasn't at first, since I thought it's a prequel.
And I know he's not Glenn. I just said it for fun. 😅
It really frustrated me how she wasn't screaming at him, insulting him, or going through hysteria. I was so stressed that she wasn't defending herself in any way either, because I was guessing that she was just being a horrible mother and neglecting her child; and I would think that would make her even more susceptible to hysteria. When she said "I need you to stop talking and I need you to listen," it really hit hard. Such a captivating short.
My son's father has extreme mental episodes, I have been protecting our son since birth and can relate 100%. I will not let him even visit unless he is calm, clear, and on his medicine. What a life.
I hope all of you are doing fine
Surprise The Walking Dead reunion!
This was so great! I thought that woman's voice sounded so familiar. Steven Yeun is such a great actor. I want to see him in more movies and series. I loved hearing Alanna Masterson in this, as well. She was so enduring in TWD.
Word Unheard look up Burning, if you haven’t seen it already. He is excellent in that as well. (On Netflix now).
@@cmessett11
I'll have to wait until I can afford Netflix again. Have you seen Mayhem? It's similar to The Belko Experiment, but I liked it better. Steven Yeun was great in it, too.
@@WordUnheard nope, but now it's on my radar! love hunting down a good story, actor or director's work.
The father character definitely has schizophrenia. He really thought the baby was with him the whole time. The mother is not keeping him from the baby to hurt him. She’s doing it to keep him from accidentally hurting the baby during one of his bad episodes. It’s all very sad. As someone who used to be with a man that became bipolar then, became schizophrenic I understand the sadness in the woman’s voice. She probably loves the man very much. However, it comes to a point that it’s just not healthy or safe to be around them anymore. They see and hear things and people that are not there. They will literally fight with them and tear the house apart. They will accuse you of betraying them and all kinds of things because, someone told them so, a someone that doesn’t even exist in the real world. Bipolar is seriously hard enough to try to deal with but, schizophrenia is completely impossible. The person they were is gone forever. They disappear and this like demon possessed person is left in their place. It’s very hard and heartbreaking. They really need to keep schizophrenics locked up in special facilities for their own safety, as well as everyone else. 😢
Chill, some people refuse to accept that they, themselves are mentally or physically ill. He probably meant _some_ schizophrenic people not all
That was ignorant and pretty disgusting to say. You think just because someone is different mentally should be locked away. They are plenty of people with schizophrenia out there who lead normal lives just as people who suffer from disassociate identity disorder
@sandramullikin5088: Some of what you say reminds me of my ex fiancee. I was 43, he 53, when we met. The 1st 2 yrs were great, I ignored the gradual red flags. By the 4 yr mark, I was afraid he'd kill me in my sleep. I finally left for the 3rd & last time; I've since realized he was emotionally disturbed, in the truest sense. Beware of charming, malignant, violent narcissists. They walk among us. "Demon- possessed", indeed. When you see their eyes change during an episode, you KNOW it can really happen, it's not just in horror movies.
Dude, the only two actors in this short are from TWD. And both are amazing people, I absolutely adore Steven Yeun, there has not been a day where I haven't mentioned his name. I could rant about hi all day with nothing bad to say about him. Putting that aside, it doesn't surprise me that he did a short on mental awareness, he's a sweetheart. He portrayed the character so well and so did Alanna, even over the phone. I know I give all my praise to Steven, but I love Alanna, too, she's an amazing human being. This short film was pure gold, and not just because of the cast.
Alanna Masterson is Tara from the Walking Dead!
No shhh sherlock
This was so, so , so good. My heart went out to the father throughout the movie-good acting on his part. Good story writing too.
An entire short film that takes place in a car. This was pretty brilliant. Had me in the first half, and then my heart sank in the final 10/15 seconds
Glenn and Tara!
@Maricel Mendoza yes. And the wife is voiced by Tara.
I Miss them so much😔💚
Aaaa two of my favorite actors doing amazing work together yet again!!
As a distant father I can only say: this is so sad.
Steven Yuen ia one of my fave
Simple, yet so captivating!
Everything about this short film is amazing. I love this guy, he's so talented.
Brilliant cinematography and brilliant acting by Steven Yeun! Just brilliant!
HOW THE HELL DID I NOT DISCOVER THIS CHANNEL EARLIER?! GOD DAMN!
so many good shortfilms, SO MANY! I could keep watching this for AGES!
Oh my god! Why did I ever stop watching these? They're amazing!
I know he probably wants to get away from talking about his role as glen. But damn what a powerful line "I'll find you"
Bravo! Well done. Such conditions may afflict any of us at any time. Great work, everybody. Thank you.
You have a good heart to say that . So true
No way i just found out that was tara, Tara and glen my fav characters dead and now i get to see them together again....well sort of. Either way i lv them and wished they hadn't died.
the voice on the phone does sound like Tara's right? Good catch.
Kham Vo it is Alanna Masterson (Tara’s actress)!
xAella I knew I recognized her voice from somewhere!!!
Wow, that was a creepy twist. Well done. So glad I found this channel.
Wow... what a powerful performance and he did it in one take.
Oh...my... GOODNES!!!!!!!!🤯
So Many Emotions right now!!!
Wow. Just...WOW!
Good job everyone involved in this short! I NEVER saw that coming...and I can usually call it!
10/10 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
👏👏👏
The first time it shocked me, the second time it broke my heart. So simple, so amazing!
He's rocking that Frank Gallagher coat lol Damn I need me one of those. Awesome short film!
What a strange, mindfuck, MacGuffinesque twist! This film was powerfully written, directed, and performed. Brilliant work!
The ending tho 😭😭😭
I like Steven in any role he plays.
Great short very simple but effective. Going to watch Burning now.
you won't regret it, it's my favorite film of 2018 easy
I had to watch the ending twice to understand what was going on.
I did notice that when she says stop talking and listen, the baby's crying changed a little, kinda like it was coming from the phone. I should have realized it then.
That would be so terrifying to discover. This really left a heavy feeling in my chest 💔
Love to see Steven again after a while. And this time with a different struggle other than zombies!!!
That was chilling. Reminded me a lot of my relationship with my ex aside from the delusions of having a child with me. I mean the type of conversations we'd consistently have to have about why we wouldn't work but still knowing deep inside we need the other. Depression/mental health/anxiety is all a scary thing. :/
Same here ,my ex has mental illness and she would say she can't take certain medications because she's pregnant although her tubes are tied and we don't have children together and she constantly think im two different people this almost brought to tears
Amazing! Steven is a well of emotions.
Stunning shocking all the best which is what we’ve come to expect from Steven Yeun.
Crazy how they got both Glenn and Tara from TWD to make one helluva short film.
Fantastic. Very well done. One of the best shorts ever.
In case anyone was wondering what she was saying at the end: "Maybe -- maybe blocking you did this, but I -- I can't.. I can't do this anymore"
Also "I'm so sorry this has gotten worse"
I felt this on another level. Damn.
this would be the perfect end to a whole movie with this idea in mind. i love it 100%
It was short but it was all what I needed.
Who clicked because they saw Glen from 'The walking dead'?
Meh 😭
Me 😂
Very well done!
the voice on the other end was "Tara's" aka Alanna Masterson from TWD!
Steven Yeun is so strong with these scenes.
I'm glad I found this channel such great stories
So Tera and glen had a baby. Love it
I don't know if I've ever watched the same content back to back before feeling sympathy for the opposite character. This was brilliant.
My heart sank at the ending
That was... incredible. Ive learnt so much from this short about filmaking
Steven deserves an oscar
Amazing delivery👏🏻
I clicked on omeleto comedy and this is what I got. People are right. Mental health is not a joke.
I JUST LOVE STEVEN'S ACTING....HE IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE ACTORS.....HE also lead a main voice in voltron....So I love his voice too....
My head is exploding ! Its exploding with tension !
Bravo! You are an amazing actor. We will be seeing more of you. 🥰
He was on The Walking Dead for several seasons.
@@ARasputinaFan I know. He was Glenn. Loved him there also.
Wow. Plot twist. Well done. Whew my emotions are flying right now!
Pobrecito...Such a sad short. Steven knocked it out!!!
What appears to be a simple short movie is very complex. The complexity is caused by how abstract this short is, this abstraction interacts directly with each viewers personal experience and background. Hence each viewer sees what they want to see. That phenomenon is a genius Of a good literature, art and movie that evokes emotions to a point that a viewer to become part of the experience
Steven yay I am so excited for season 10 of the walking dead. Even though he’s not in it anymore
That ending was great. Awesome story
One of the best psychothrillers I have seen lately. should be on 100 best short stories IMDB!
great job done team
was left shocked at the end
Glenn and Tara hooked up and years later they had a child but Glenn is mental because Negan hit him lol
I LOVE THIS PREMISE. And it just gave me a good idea on how to flip this......
Share with us.
i had to watch twice to understand but once i did... wow!
This broke my heart.
The conversation on phone was one take?
Brilliantly captured and captivating
Plz I didn't understand the story where is the baby
@@sq6394 SPOILER !! as far as I can tell, the baby is with the mom. The mom is (and has been) concerned about the dad's mental state, and she was asking for his location so she could get help for him. The last thing she said was, "You say the baby is with you?" and then the baby's cries faded away as he began to realize the reality of the situation.
All I can say is.. oh my God. Brilliant... 😔😭
Wow. That was amazing. Steven Yeun is such an awesome actor!
These videos are sooo realistic ❤️❤️❤️
My younger brother is going through this and it isn't easy to deal with someone who hears voices even when everyone's telling the person it's only in their head.
This dude is amazing
My God he is spectacular. Every aspect.
