- This piece was a creative spin on the stories of my sibling-ship as well as others who I interviewed. I hope that this video will inspire you to reach out to your loved ones this holiday season, especially for those who you have lost connection with throughout the years.

A short film about siblings and the inevitable stages we go through.
This piece is dedicated to my brother Alvin and my sister Tiffany, who are the best siblings in the world. We've gone through ups and downs but at the end of the day I know I can always count on y'all for anything :) May God bless you guys in everything that you do!

+Michelle Veth AAAAYYYE 👊🏾
I think this scenario applies to friends too where there comes a point in life when people kinda drift apart because they get occupied w/ various activities, people, and choices in their lives. I have one older sister who I'm close to; sometimes I think too close, but I remember a time when she was in college and I was in middle school that I felt like we were so far away from each other. I mean there's definitely an age gap there, but thinking back, it's only natural that she and I kinda grew apart then because we were in totally different stages in life. Now that I'm older (we're both working adults now), we begin to spend more time w/ each other. This is a really touching video. I like how you're so down to earth and share what's important in real life.
The 2 kids at the end were adorable!!
This hit home really hard for me. Going through some tough times with my younger brother and I'm really hoping we can get to Stage 4! btw loved the different shots in the short..esp the chess one! good job!
thanks dude! my DP is AMAZING.. no joke.
this video is spot on for me. except the neglect happened much earlier for me when my sister was in middle school and i had just entered. i think she was trying to be cool or something but she was always trying to avoid me. when she didn't want to sit next to me on the bus for the first time i cried making everyone turn to look at her and think she was a jerk and she sat back down with me. it was satisfying but i felt bad so i let her go and just hung out with my own friends more. i just accepted that teenagers needed their space :P makes me want to talk to my sister about the old times. great video! :)
Hey Steven,
I just wanted to thank you for your amazing videos. Each one touches my heart! They are so relatable, funny and unique. Your videos are so inspiring and beautiful. I subscribed instantly..I don't think I've ever felt so touched by videos made by one person/channel itself. Thank you. After watching several of your videos I feel so moved and grateful for everything that I have and for my family. I am so glad I stumbled on your channel..I look forward to every video!
Thanks again,
Alaina
cant agree more.
this had me tearing up.
I really appreciate this short film
Mine was worst, an embarrassing pic of me and my slightly bigger sized cousin was taken and posted my my father's sister with the caption "Guess who is Form 3 (15) and who is Standard 5 (11)?" I had already felt horrible about my inability to grow and brother saw that picture/post of me. He laughed and yelled "ROASTED OHHH!!" and showed it to my grandma, me and mom (mom already knew and was mad at my aunt) and laughed about it to them. I showed how affected by saying "I don't want to see it." and teared up a bit. But he just continued to mock me and later on that night, after hours of forcing and telling myself that I shouldn't be bothered by both the picture and my brother's reaction, I broke down. I'm not sure if anyone heard me or just chose to ignore it, but it hurt a lot. After weeks of it happening, it still replays over and over in my mind, with the same exact line and the same exact feeling of hurt and betrayal. He was suppose to be my protective brother, but after years of neglection and bullying, I really don't know how to deal with him anymore. He's my only sibling, but I can never count on him even though he can always count on me. God, what do I do?
Are things better between you and your brother?
Tears legit tears right now. I'm speechless
I've seen you a couple of times on Buzzfeed. To be honest I never quite gave you much thought. Aside from thinking you were funny in those videos you were just that extra guy placed in it. While I had some free time I came across your channel. And I am glad I did. Your videos are so well done! Its clear just how much thought and effort you put into your work. I have to say that some of these made me cry. Especially Restaurant Kid. In a way I was in the same position. But with a few changes. That video made me think back on how much my mom gave up for my brother and I. And your other videos made me ponder on other things. In my opinion, that is the best kind of material someone could make. I know they are making others just like me really think about what is important. So I just want to say thank you! That was awesome!
More Noah and Ziah
When I was younger I wanted to play with my sister a lot because I didn't really have friends outside of school. Usually she didn't want to do what I wanted or just wanted to do her own thing with her friends and whatnot. Eventually I started using the computer and playing video games more so we didn't really hang out together. Apparently when I was younger I thought my sister was kind of weird, but when I got older I came into who I am now and realized that I'm not that much different than her. She's only two years older than me so when we were in high school together she would always help me if I needed it, although I never really reached out to her. It wasn't really until she went to university and lived in the dorms that we started to connect a bit more. My parents could never get their point across with me and vice versa when we were talking about my future and my sister is really the only person that can help mediate that issue with us. Now I feel like we're a lot closer than we ever were before. Soon she's going to be moving to pursue grad school in California and asked if I wanted to come with her, it would definitely make things easier and maybe things would work out for the better. :) Loved your video, Steven! Keep doing what you're doing!
This is now officially my favorite youtube video ever.
More Ziah and Noah!!
might as well call this channel the ziah and noah show...
Very touching video, hope for success for your CZcams channel.
thank you :) you can help by sharing! :D
More of them in the vids!!
Awww that was a sweet story....I liked the overhead shot of the little kids playing chess...I have an older sister so I understand the sibling thing .. the acting was good too!
I WANT TO SEE THEM IN MORE VIDEOS THEY ARE ADORABLE!!!!
I love how real you are, the honesty is so refreshing! Your channel is awesome, keep up the hard work :)
Steven, amazing, phenominal, so heart-breaking. I just love your variety of short films and themes on you channel! :D
Aww so sweet I cried 😭
Absolutely incredible don't know how you do it. Keep up the amazing work.
heart warming :') im glad you two worked things out
Hey Steven! I just wanted to take a moment to say thanks so much for making this video. My brother and I have a huge age gap, and with the both of us in very different stages in our lives growing up, at times it felt like we skipped "companionship". I've always told myself, especially since starting college, that I should work hard to be a better example and better sibling. Instead our different interests and arguments kept that from happening, and the only times I have been able to be "there" and helpful has been through giving advice about social life in school and home life when problems came up. Watching your video inspires me to make now and this new year a step towards getting back to companionship, to be real friends and siblings. Thank you so much, and continue the amazing work you do! You're awesome!
Awww,this was really sweet.You reminded me in one short video how much I love and appreciate my siblings.Thank you!It was very touching.Best wishes for you and your family!😊💫💕
Omg this video is unexpectedly raw and I can't believe I'm sobbing over this now.... Steven you are a talented story teller, please put up more content, you have the ability to touch ppl's heart.
definitely wanna see the two lil kiddies so much more; they are good actors!
Awesome video Steven! Can't wait to see new ones :)
I cry. Steven is brilliant
The kids are so cute! This was just heartwarming, the feelssss!
This was a very touching short :)
p.s.- I WOULD LOVE MORE ZION AND "ME"
"God's perfect gift" Ahaha you always throw in SOMETHING to up yourself xDD
What an interesting way to tell us the story of you & your brother! Really well done.
And yes boys! Would love to see you in Stevens videos again :P
-
This is kind of like me & my cousin rn except we're probably at like...companionship. The end stages happened after the 1st stage for us so it was out of the order you went through
We were never close & didn't really talk about ourselves or talk in general unless we were at family parties but this year we started to talk more & more.
We started talking more in a group chat w/ all the cousins then it became just us 2 that talked because everyone else just stopped responding in the chat so..
I wanna say we're close but lol...don't think she feels the same yet :P
oh my gosh :( this is SO SAD :( I don't have a sibling but this just made me really sad :( I hope you'll have a better relationship with your brother from now leading into the future + I liked those two boys :) more of them in your future videos, please!!
This is amazinggg
awesome video..brought tears to my eyes..truly worth sharing!!
I just recently discovered this channel and I love it.
This made me tear up. I feel like that with my older brother right now. I looked up to him so much. He was my role model, but then he neglected me during a really hard time with family life. I needed him more than anything, and I was so hurt when he didn't respond to my pleas for help. Our relationship crumbled, and just now he apologized for not being there for me...but I'm still so angry. I think it is going to take a long time for me to let go... I have to heal first. I am also living in S. Korea right now, but maybe reconciliation can happen when I go back to America... Maybe...
This is so relatable. You should upload more vids. Or even on buzzfeed pls pls pls
Damn steven, your videos make me cry
thanks for sharing and being real and personal
Thank you for this video. I can not even explain the feelings that I am feeling right now.
You are an amazing person. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart
I loved this video, I am the youngest of two sisters and they are both in college so I miss them very much and I get how it feels to grow apart. Thank you.
amazing bro so relatable
Steven, your videos are really meaningful and helpful. Thank you. The kids are cool too.
I'm handicapped. I had very strict, sometimes controlling and overprotective parents, religious, but I was loved and I was a good kid most of the time. -- But like with you and your brother, there are still things that get between people, even in a mostly good relationship, especially family. I was an only child. There were some things I just could not talk about with my parents, and a few things that really hurt, growing up and as a young adult. We stuck together, but those things were dividing us. -- It was only when my parents were gone that I realized how much they'd limited my life, and yet they didn't mean to do wrong, they thought they were right. -- And I wish I could go back and talk to them, tell them why, and get them to change. And yet I can't, of course, I have to move on. Yet I still love them, and hey, I am not perfect either. I have rarely had best friends I felt were like brothers, but it's happened a couple of times. -- I would urge people to try to work through their differences and stay connected. But I also know, sometimes, with some people, one or both sides need to end the relationship for their own or mutual good. So it's hard to say. Anyway, this story of getting through a complicated relationship and getting back together, really is good. I hoe you guys can always work through being brothers and friends. I think you guys are lucky to have a brother. Thanks.
I have been going through same phase with my younger brother. We fight but at the end we reconcile by treating each other with our favorite food :)
so sweet
just like you!
its so cute
to those 2 kids: yas u guys r so adorable!
im half glad i dont have siblings but i always wanted a younger sister
This is so sad it made me cry
Beautiful and amazing
Realy miss those happy times though:(
Great video!! Are you a youngest too?! I have two older siblings (sister and brother) and we spent a lot of time together growing up but the more interesting relationship is with my sister hahaha. We went through the stages you talked about but we also shared a room for a long time so neglect became annoyance. Siblings really are irreplaceable though.
The little kids!!!plz!
THE FEEELS
*sigh* Now I have see if my sibling feel the same since I am the oldest and have 7 younger siblings?! Cause I am a person who doesn't realize something because they are always around and it is not direct.
That's a lot like how my older brother and I are.... we're currently somewhere in-between the Neglect and Reconciliation stage. Since we're both the two eldest and going to college at the same time, I think we mended faster. But it's still not the same as when we were little kids.
This is really touching ~{TT÷TT}~
I cried watching this 😅
ahh i live his early works
Nobody dislikes this vid.Finally found a perfect video
deep... thank you for sharing.👍 I feel like me&my brother are kinda at the neglecting stage now 😔
Same thing bothers me too I love my brother but he is not aware of it I am Indian and I stay in China now which creates a lot of diffrence
good job
High quality~
I'm still at neglect with my sibling.How long do you think it will take to finally reach reconciliation?
I have a older brother who is 10 years older than me lmao
1:34 ROFL that's a great friend right there, isn't he in your other video (Asian parents?) where he was emabrrased but happily yelled out "STAP it!" when his mom said he's the best son?
totally off topic ... but what’s the name of that drama at 2:04？
wong fu???? strangers again?
brothers, again?
Nice. I love games.
Nice room
I feel my brother and I skipped stage 2 mhm
Hello! Can you do a video taking about interracial couples? Like asians and black peoples? :3
Is the brother in this video your real bro?
Why does he have a different last name to you?
They're college best friends.
