Quick everyone! Take a break from your Snapchatting and Pokémon Go-ing and check out New York-based director and ADC Young Guns X winner Brad Hasse‘s new short film, entitled ‘Smile’.

“All it takes is the quick chime from a text message to ruin a beautiful moment, and I wanted to do this through the imagery of a bunch of smiling weirdos sharing their toothy grins with each other, as it was a visual that made me, well… smile,” explains Brad. “I figured that making this a non-verbal short would create a more meditative experience for the viewer, where they can get lost in the happiness of the moment.”

Oooh! I just caught a Bulbasaur!
