Kudos to you two. I got the chilly bumps. Love comes in some many different forms. I think it's great you didn't answer the question of true love. Who's to say they know when their in Love?

This kind of short that is able to say so much that is really important about life in such short time and with so little is a true gem. Thank for this film. I makes me want, treasure, ask for, pray for, appreciate, protect, care for, believe in love for just a moment.

I really like it. It's extremely touching. But I think it's unclear whether you are admitting to having a sexual relationship with her, or if she was someone you platonically loved who you now are debating being your lifemate. By the end, I couldn't tell if you were now openly in a romantic relationship with her, or not.

Greenlight. I thought it was a very interesting piece. Your arriving at the realization that you were in such a relationship was beautifully articulated. A thought provoking film.
My first Current TV endeavor is a sardonic look at US flag etiquette in New York which I've been working on since 1994. - 4 years ago

You speak very well. Naturally the subject allured my attention right away (female voice in a pod titled, "My First Girlfriend"), but I liked listening to you.
Does she know that you are "not IN love with her?"

Well done. It's a well-told story, and I enjoy seeing the found footage. Did you zoom in to attempt to crop out the date in the corner? I think I'd prefer to see it in its entirety or not there at all. Even if you crop the fraem so that it's smaller than the TV safe area, it would still work because then it feels almost like a projection home video. Otherwise, I wouldn't change a thing!

The problem I have with this is that when you look at a lot of other pods they concern more than just the people making the pod or they are based on something very quirky about individuals. I just don't think the subject matter is notable or unique enough for TV. You are hardly the first person to have had a teenage sweetheart, even a same sex one. Maybe if you could better relate it to a broader human experience?

I really like this, but I feel like it is incomplete. Are you two actually together, or just very good friends? There isn't a clear ending, other than your still in contact (which is fantastic). I really like this, but I personally think it needs a little bit more before it is ready for prime time. Certainly on the right track!!
