- A woman gets a chance to rekindle romance with her high school boyfriend.
REKINDLED is used with permission from Erin Brown Thomas. Learn more at erinbrownthomas.com.
Kate is a successful career woman, but after a string of failed relationships and a bunch of bad dates that go nowhere, she signs up for a magical Groupon that promises her the chance to rekindle a romance with the love of her life, her high school boyfriend.
But when she shows up to their date, her former flame is still 16, and Kate is forced to see their relationship for what it really was.
Director Erin Brown Thomas, along with writer/lead actor Kelly Vrooman, have created a comedy short that melds the joyous absurdity of a modern fairy tale with a genuine life lesson on keeping romance in perspective, especially when you're young.
The writing and directing come together with an infectious energy at all levels, whether it's in the polished, aspirational cinematography, the witty dialogue or the flourishes of broad humor and physical comedy that punctuate scenes. The pacing and rhythm of the film bubbles from one scenario, creating an enjoyable romp not just through Kate's life as a woman but through contemporary dating as well.
There is an unabashed, delightful silliness to the film, making for great entertainment and amusement. But there's also an emotional intelligence underlying the proceedings, one that imbues lead performer Vrooman's deftly comic performance as Kate.
Informed by sketch comedy, there's a willingness to really push at the boundaries and a wild energy, but Vrooman also hits the right emotional notes when needed, especially as she realizes just how much she idealized her ex from high school -- and just what the truth of that relationship was.
Kate's realization is the crucial turning point of the narrative, which elevates REKINDLED beyond your typical romantic comedy. It argues that clarity and a certain centeredness in romance are actually key to enjoying love and life, debunking the idea that love must be all-consuming to be romantic.
It also very skillfully incorporates the idea about healthy relationships when young, and what the stakes are when they're toxic. Kate may not get the guy she thought she wanted in the end, but no matter what, she has her whole, full, authentic self -- worth more than anything in the end. - Krátké a kreslené filmy
This was a lighthearted film that touched a serious topic of how manipulative exes can negatively affect your future relationships and I greatly enjoyed it.
This is what happens when Bollywood and Disney makes a film together
Now this is how you pack a monster point into a short video! Well done, all.
The waiter was pretty cute.
The weatherman wasn't that ugly either...
Yeah she was far too picky , he seemed nice.
"you're a cougar"
"where'd you learn that"
me: barney stinson
She went through a truck load of men that she couldn't enjoy for who they are, because she wanted them to be someone else.
Yes!! You nailed pointing out the basic plot of the video 🎉🎉🎉 congrats!! 😂😂
I think what this proves, is that we can`t ever recreate our past.
Over the years our minds and bodies, including our whole outlook changes.
Everything moves on and what fitted us yesterday will not fit us today.
Yeah basically the best thing is to move on
Everything looks better in the rear-view mirror. One of the sharpest, funniest short films I've seen, ever.
That actress is hilarious. She have any other movies or shows?
Look up Kelly Vrooman Comedy on Facebook
When you look at someone through rose colored glasses, all the red flags just look like flags.
This reminds me of myself. Trying to rekindle my past relationships, thinking the past was always somehow better. Fortunately, I now focus on my wife and the past is just a pleasant memory.
I do the opposite, the past for me is always worst
This is annoying and funny. And now I will forever dread meeting my teenage crushes and romances. I'm cured.
Loved this. Very smart, and beautifully executed. Congratulations!
I have a friend who's wasting her life waiting for a guy who doesn't like her because "he's the one!". I'm gonna send this to her.
This is how you do comedy right.
Cute as hell.
She should have never
ever stopped while
riding Mr Weatherman!
That part was not real.
C'mon
Great Comedy.
Loved this film!
Kelly is super-hot!
She ROCKS!
(Too bad it's just a story?)
The interior monologue of cats.
Enjoyed this thoroughly.
The first blonde man is one of the actors from The Mighty Ducks. He's aged well
This is fantastic! Absolutely love it!! Hilarious and so well done!
Kelly Vrooman. What an all round talent. Rekindled is the first time I've become aware of your equally good acting and writing skills. You're very likeable* It's a shame the closing credits are so blurred - on a phone screen illegible - I had to Google "who was the leading actress in Omeleto's Rekindled" to realise your identity. Maybe I'm the only person in the world who doesn't know who you are....... I havnt owned a tv for past 30 years tho so I have some excuse. I'll look out for your writing. Cheers. Adam.
Loved this omletto everything was well thought, love it
Is any of the production team behind the hit tv series "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" were involved with this short...?
No! but I got a meeting with one of their execs after directing this. Never got hired but great to get meetings.
I knew someone JUST LIKE THAT !!! Wow.
Love it.
This was prickly!!!
cute and all and the ending credits thing is a cool idea but really puts how white it is into stark relief
Pretty interesting stuff! Funny and educational.
😂 I really enjoyed this!!
I'd watch the series!🎉
Awesome.
Very dynamic funny movie. 😂
And, makes a point too.
Very good short. I can see myself as both the antagonist and protagonist. What movie in 13:30secs can do that?
That kid was like Zack Morris' cousin
I knew the waiter looked familiar. He's on the tv show, Ghosts now.
FUNNY SONG TOO
ladies will like this one ✍️🤷♂
Mrs Punic in the last scene, was she there too, to meet her ex?
Yes! The teen boy, because he mentioned about her, so yep!
I used to have an Adam's apple like that kid before I got old and fat.
worst ever
‘But now and we’ll throw in a *set of state knives* ’
Now that is some deal I’m up for... gimme them knives!
Edit: Y’all I meant steak knives
*steak
@@Dayvit78 no, you slice up your medium rare states with them lol
Kandie 😂😂😂
I haven’t laughed harder in a while now
Moderately entertaining but it paints a picture that's too simple, the HS bf is too clearly a bad guy and she's a too much of a victim. Real life is messy
If this is female comedy, I wanna see less of it.
Meh.
