A brilliant idea and very moving with what buddy had to go through

.." The Warmth of the Story " & it overflows . every time we get together , it gets Stronger .

Revived my long awaited copy of being . Fantastic short film by devlin crow a must have for anyones mod movie collection great cast and direction.

A huge-hearted story of mothers and sons, mods and scooters, love, anger and human kindness.

Thoughtful and well made drama centering on those whose lives have been affected by MS. Everyday lives which non sufferers take for granted are bought sensitively to light from the view point of those who have to live with the condition. Wonderfully shot and scored. It deals with the issues at hand head on without ever shying away from the subject matter. MS affects everyone around the person suffering from the terrible condition such as family, friends carers etc. The film perfectly captures the plight and struggle of these people whilst also maintaining a great sense of humour and spirit in the face of adversity. Faultless performances from the cast and with incredibly sensitive direction from Crow. Marvellous score and wonderful location work bringing the Brighton Mod scene to vivid life. My only complaint is that I wish it were longer as I would have loved to have spent more time in the company of these characters however I hear there is a sequel in the works. Bring it on I say!

I was over at a friends who had this movie, we were both massive fans of Quadrophenia & I had heard this short was in the works. When I read about this movie coming out a few years back it was hinted at a follow up to Quadrophenia, it isn't. There is a message in here about how hard it is being a carer and the sacrifices you have to make, So with that in mind I haven't given it a 1. The main problem with the movie is the acting, in a word it's terrible the accent of the mother is shocking, (I think she could give Dick Van Dyke In Mary Poppins a run for his money at the worst accent ever) and that combined with the lazy script writing (how many times does she swear in the movie?) there's plot holes in it too but for me I was just really disappointed in it. Other people seem to like it maybe it's just me that's wrong.

Hi Devlin

Loved that! Great film, thank you, heartfelt and great to watch well done to you and all involved!

Kind Regards

Michael

Really really enjoyed this short film, only wish it was longer. Definitely worth a buy.

Being is a film that brings a real life situation to the big screen. Devlin has created a film with a new actor josh, who plays his roll as a young carer to how hardship and realaity happens with children that care for sick parents. the point has been done by the use of mods and scooters. if you want a short heart string pulling film. then get the popcorn out,dim the lights and relax.to a wonderful movie. ❤❤

A nice little Indie movie and worth the wait. Actually had a lump in my throat from start to finish. A big thumbs up from me

Excellent Film, strong message and what a blast to see MODS doing their thing! Mark Wingett still riding, still looking like he enjoys what he was a part of

This is great short film by Devlin Crow. Superb acting by the cast, and good to see Jimmy's Lambretta from Quadrophenia making an appearance too.

A really well written script, that empathises rather than sympathises with sufferers of MS. It highlights the role of their carers and the pressure they have in their lives away from the daily grind of caring. It also highlights the wide age range of the appeal of Modernism, music and scooters, from youngsters to people of all ages and the ability to create friendships within the group. A great short film, with excellent use of music, bringing Quadrophenia into the modern day with the film clips used and keeping the interest in the scene.

Mods Of Your Generation "Being" Film Review

"Such a powerful message about the struggles of dealing with multiple sclerosis and the effects on young Carers. A nice little nod to the mod scene, Quadrophenia and The Who"

looking forward to the follow up.

The best short film I have ever seen, have the blueray version and it brings back my past to life. A Mod in the 60's and in Brighton. The actors bring a real story to life that needs more airing . More people NEED to see this film . Go for it Girl

Lovely mod movie set in Brighton. Loving the actors. Not that oftern does a smaller film get put on to DVD these days. So it was a pleasure to see this.

Well worth a watch.

Thanks regards Jamie

I really looked forward to this arriving in the post and when I did I wasn't disappointed, it's a fantastic short film with great acting and a nice story to, looking forward to the sequel now 👍

Excellent short film by Devlin Crow. Enjoyed the full story from start to finish. Very enjoyable.

I recommend this film, not just for the niche mod market but for the wider audience too.

It has a very good storyline which is brought to life by a cast who are both likeable and believable. Not to mention, the young gentleman lead, star in the making without a doubt. Definitely worth watching

What makes this film special is that it shows great understanding of living with MS and the strength of young carers.

Of course, without a doubt, mods will like this film. There is a nod to the cult classic, Quadrophenia, including one of the faces, one of many from the film who became a household name. It has a teenager discovering the mod scene. filmed in Brighton, has scooters, good soundtrack. What's not to like. This film is a job well done.

The end of the film leaves you wanting more, wishing it was longer, hoping there's more in the pipeline.

For me that makes me feel like I've just watched a great film.

A film with a heroic nod to the spirit of the mods of Quadrophenia. Doley (Mark Wingett from the original cast) befriends a young schoolboy (Buddy) who cares for his mother who has MS. Buddy is devoted to The Who and fascinated by the mod era (it's what gets him through the day). Doley shows the boy some true magic with a trip to Brighton on his scooter. Along the way Buddy discovers more about himself than perhaps he realised. Beautifully shot, it tackles difficult subjects like loneliness, illness and bullying deftly, through this remarkable friendship.

A good film dealing with the stress of being a young career. As well as Illness with a nod to quadrophenia and some nice scooters..

I really enjoyed Being. The film just popped out on blu ray and was visually stunning. Great performances and the soundtrack was awesome. Some nice nods to Quadrophenia and mod culture. A very uplifting film that really does send the message out regarding the role of carers and the sacrifices they make for love.

A great watchable film which leaves you wanting more of the characters and where their story would continue.
