HOMESICK

[samgoodwin]

Hey guys! This is Sam Goodwin, the writer and director of this film! If you have any questions please put em in this thread!

Give this young boy a medal, he has such a good acting skill. 👏👏👏

[afinafasya]

The way he called out his mom, and he is so brave. feel like want to give that boy a hug :'(

[SBond-jxtb]

Child actors are usually hit or miss. This kid was awesome.

[captainames]

As a mother myself, the tension, the uncertainty and the whole tone made me feel sick to my stomach in a sense. A horror unlike typical horror. This was superbly made and the ending like a punch in the gut for me.

[momoyuan]

He turned on the tv at exactly “TV time”. This boy has more self-discipline than i am 😭👏🏻

[chaotic_ourple]

Ok this was actually more sad than scary, I feel so bad for this kid-

[madiicantsleep]

bro when I was his age I was still yelling into the fan and watching Elmo, he's badass

[jleahy]

How come I get the feeling that his parents are dead already?

[goblintacos]

This could be a full length movie, even though there's hardly any dialogue you just cant help to watch to see what the boy does next, great film!

[MerryKeli]

Ohh, I felt so nervous for the kid with so many of the lights staying on through the night. You'd think that that would work like a beacon for anything that might be roaming outside in the dark.

[yvonnegumapac]

As a mother, I was really astonished on the discipline that he showed here, I mean not all kids, specially nowadays can stick to a well disciplined routine like his, from the way he moves, the way he looks, everything is brilliant! And that part where the zombie came in. Damm! My heart skipped for 2 sec!

All in All, Kudos to this wonderful actor, well played!

[derashines]

Wow this was deep and scary at the same time....

[humanbeing]

Initially I thought his mother was out working and left him alone at home for so long.. then it started to raise a doubt whether he was abandoned. But then when a zombie suddenly barge in, it all makes sense.

[dawglover]

This was so sad to see him alone. I wanted to reach in and hug him and get him out of there. They way he yelled for his mom. He did such a wonderful job. Can’t wait to see him in more films and in the big screen some day.

[cesrelawrence-towner]

Did anyone elses heart break when he put on his mom's earrings?

[hannathomas]

Quiet a matured and *BRAVE* kiddo he is!! Wonderful short.

[r.y]

So he is alone in his house and he has to defend it from zombies?

[Eris_Strife]

I feel pity for the character, but I'm weirdly proud as hell at the way he handed himself and his discipline to his routine. Kudos to the actor too! He really brought this to life! ❤️

The Kid's got BALLS OF stainless STEEL.
