As one comment said on YouTube, "I've came because of the gay and enjoyed the story" or something similar. However, I'm not sure if I acutally understood what was presented in all of its short eleven minutes. When the movie ended all I was thinking was what's a wetstone anyway just like our main character Theo wants to know when he discovers that the mysterious stone he got near a river was one of those wetstones, a rare element that can dry water or make it everything wet depending on how you deal with it. And there's the story of him and his lover Nick as well, which goes paralel as the mystery keeps haunting Theo in his dreams and in reality with water objects on his apartment.
The sci-fi elements take over the film in a horrific and original way that leaves viewers unsettled while the few romance bits is just to attract audiences since Andrew Neighbors and Nick Theurer make a real nice pair and we're all invested on their romance even though it all falls apart. But they're good, just as Theo's friend (Julia Black) who is funny as hell. Having been made as a feature film this would be a lot more interesting, more enlightening and just like here no answer should be given. It's fun to be a little clueless about the results, to feel immersed in the mystery and to see how Theo will actually find some good company who help him understand what's a wetstone anyway. But nature conquered the man...and the charade remains. 7/10.
