I just watched it and found it so interesting, how passionate that man is about his life project and how is grandparents were always supporting him, it was very heartwarming!

[Plastics]

Was literally the most hopeful, heartwarming and positive thing I've seen in over two years. Simple incredible. Best wishes to John.

[fdfdfd]

John devoted his whole life to contact with aliens. I respect him and this is the most beautiful journey I have ever seen

[shanemarquis]

I just watched this short film. Such a comforting story. Very inspirational. My 1993 hasn't happened yet. I am quietly optimistic. Until then, I will continue to search the stars

Imagine we find aliens but they are just exact replicas of us

[sarfaraz.hosseini]

*SPOILER:* This is probably not about aliens, but about John, about obcessive personalities, and people who are dreamers. It's really about us, and what it means to be human.

[alexanderkappelhoff]

I absolutely loved this short. It's more about passion than it is about aliens

[HenningsMinionEIGHT]

"John was searching for aliens - but what he found was true love!"

I hope whatever intelligent life exists out there finds the human beings who display empathy, love, peace, compassion and humility.

This stpry was not what I was expecting, but it definately exceed my expectations and was worth the watch!

[WillsPracticalYoga]

This was wonderful. At one point, I was like "what am I watching?" then, bam, the sweetest movie about exploring the unknown and finding love. So sweet.

[selen]

I will watch this 100% I love this whole space and alien stuff

[BillSchwab]

I know Johnny. An amazing human being. I can almost guarantee you this is not going to be about aliens.

[TheRwiticulousGuy]

the BGM feels like that of Stranger Things

[corysimpson]

This film saved my life. I'll hold the details for myself, but I will say I waited for the night of it's debut on Netflix to be the last thing I ever watched. Other than a recognized divine intervention, this was the most important 16 minutes of my life.

[poweroffriendship.]

*Humans:* Hmmm... I wonder if we could just contact the "green little space men" from the distant stars using our technology.

*Aliens, from the galaxy from far far away:* I AM NOT GREEN!

[sdlillthug]

This: John was trying to contact aliens

Meanwhile
Me: I tried to contact my dad irl

[andrewlewis]

I’m a simple man. I see aliens, I click

[kevinjozwiak]

John is my neighbor. Next door. NO JOKE. Psyched to watch this!

[Moongazer]

They have contacted us. John you are not alone..🛸

[FixFilmsLtd]

Wow, John sounds like a fascinating character. He certainly had a commitment to scientific discovery.

[thehiddenlifepodcast]
