Coolguy (2022)

THE GUY rocks up at a photoshoot feeling like the king of the world. He's in the zone; this is his space. On his way across the room to meet the stylist he is stopped in his tracks when he sees THE COOLGUY enter the room and begin walking in his direction. A sea of anxious thoughts flow through the Guy's head as he compares himself to the Coolguy, concluding that the Coolguy is everything he wants to be. As the Guy and the Coolguy cross paths, the Guy attempts to make a "cool" comment but ultimately embarrasses himself. Gritting his teeth, he soldiers on and keeps walking until his curiosity gets the best of him, and he looks back toward the Coolguy, only to realise that the Coolguy seemed to not have even noticed him. Cutting to the climactic shot of the Coolguy moments later, we see the Coolguy going through the exact same thought process as the Guy. He turns back to look at the Guy, only to realise that the Guy seemed to not have even noticed him. The two go on, never realising just how perfect they could have been for one another.
