Impeccable cinematography with a spot-on storytelling. This is so good man, awesome!

[StevenSchultz]

Your best video yet, dude. Gorgeous, funny, and heartwarming storytelling wrapped around a convicting central message. SO well done, brother 😊

[NiklasChristl]

Absolutely loved this Eric! A breath of fresh air on Youtube 💯

Fantastic work Eric. Truly fantastic. My habit of constantly checking my phone is also a big destroyer of my creativity and productivity as well. Like you talked about, using our phones as tools and not having them use us is so paramount to a fruitful life. I used to have solid habits of putting my phone away and not checking it throughout the day, but as of late, I've faltered. Thanks for making this and snapping me out of it. 🙏🏼

the cinematography in this video is so thoughtful and intentional, the narrative really pulled me in, and the message is so important (and one that I really needed to hear). I myself am constantly looking for content to consume in fear of boredom, but this was a great reminder as to how boredom can be an invaluable asset for sparking creativity. amazing stuff!!

This was incredible dude! 🗣 I’m deleting my social media apps now & focusing in because the convo with your wife & the need to shape yourself as a father were 2 very touching points. Well done, your creation served a good purpose!

Dude... I've been struggling with this so intensely that I haven't been able to see anything in life clearly. Technology is amazing, but man.. it is worrisome sometimes with just how easy it is to fall into a consumption mode where you end up feeling less than EVERYONE. Beautiful film man

Thank you so much for that wonderful message. Most specially the one at the end of your video. I have been struggling recently in finding motivation and being creative after editing videos for almost 6 years now. After watching this, I realized that I was often on my phone whenever I feel unmotivated and "hit a wall" when I edit. I will now be starting to "GET BORED & MAKE STUFF." Thank you once again.

Actually, the thing that I like the most of this video is noticing how much you do love being a father. In this days that is refreshing. And wonderful.👍🙂👏👏👏👏

It’s 2:24 in the morning and I needed this!

[JDTechTV]

This wonderful and warm video could not have come at a better time, selfishly, for me. Sometimes the universe aligns, ya know? Have my first kid weeks away from being born, concerned about how I could possibly be a guiding light for another whole human, feeling the constant need to distract myself as a stress relief, and have my largest creative project just a week away I'm scrambling to get ready for. This was a great reminder to take a breath and also (perhaps) an inadvertent display of empathy on your part.

Projects like this one you made are important. First, for you. I cannot imagine how cathartic this was for you to make this. Very well done, by the way. But I always find it very important to explicitly tell an artist when something they created had a genuine impact on me. It's a wonderful message built around seemingly simple concepts. This hit home for me and greatly appreciate the effort you put in to making it.

Also...downloading that damn app immediately haha!

Bro this made me cry! I think this is your best video ever. The shots of your family placed so well and it was just so redemptive and inspiring. Love you Eric, and thank you for always inspiring us.

[DodfordYT]

WOW. I’ve never come across you before but man, this was an experience that warrants some kind of reward! Instant sub. Keep them coming!

[LaytonObserves]

This video gave so much more than I expected. What a beautiful ending.

[RyanKao]

Wow. This was genuinely amazing dude. Blown away with the light but deeply meaningful approach to this whole film. Brilliant ⚡️

[Suhailagha]

The lighting in some of these scenes are phenomenal man.

[Jonmaccom]

As someone who is wanting to grow and stretch myself creatively. And my wife and I are expecting our first child in 2 months. This video felt tailor-made for me and was not prepared for this on a Monday morning. I appreciate you Matt D'Avella, I mean Eric!

[joannaschnitzer]

Every moment of this was so intentional. Spoke the heart of so many struggles, challenges, and joys we all experience. Thank you for sharing 🧡

[TeppoHaapoja]

Ah Eric, congrats on the 3rd child. Your an amazing dad!

[edwardleefilms]

This was such a beautiful video filled with takeaways but not in an attacking way. Thank you so much for taking the time to create this for us man ✌🏼
