It‘s not about who you love, it‘s all about your happiness❤️

For a student film that's pretty damned good, and I love seeing a parent portrayed as accepting. As we all know, too many parents are NOT accepting.

Halo

[@scarlettmarmont]

Great film! I really loved the scenes between the mother and daughter, in particular the wound healing scene. It was beautifully captured. If anybody is interested I too just released an lgbtq short film on my channel. Like the other girls, about a transgender son and her father for anyone who wants to check it out 😊
