The one thing I hate about short films...they are short!!! This was a beautiful work..I wish there was a part two to this. Great acting and great impact!
@@MrWmJosephSmithIII true, still doesn't mean I have to like that they are short.

What you hate about short films is that they’re short? Yikes
@@lucasm4299 have you ever watched a film and wished that there was more?
@@lucasm4299 how is that a yikes 💀 shut up
I believe one of the hardest parts of being gay is care too much about what your parents think about you and how they would react when you talk to them.
Sucha beautiful story...beautiful actors😍❤❤❤❤last scene was so touching..and beautiful..amazing actors the way they hug each other in the end...😘😘😘😘
Forever grateful you allowed me to act in this for you. 🙏 Thank you!
You did grt job man ! Last scene was so perfect ! Hope to see you in more movies
@@sahilxt2688 I think that it is hard to bring a short film to a solid ending. You don't always have enough time to wrap up all of the loose ends of the storyline for a complete ending. This film's ending was great. In the ending we saw that the one guy got beaten up by his father for being gay as the bruises on his face indicated. The other guys father got to see his son's boyfriend and as the one guy held his bruised boyfriend in his arms the boyfriend told him that he loves him. It was a beautiful ending. Out of a horrible situation Love prevailed. Love wins. Love is Love!
If you love what you do it's not work.
Great performance.
Hugs from India
I have so much love for you and the crew my friend ❤
This is the sad reality for a lot of LGBTQ+ teens who just want their parents to understand they are who they are but these parents are so deeply rooted in homophobia and prejudice this is what tends to happen a lot and even with all the advancements and achievements we as a whole community have accomplished, it's still a garage reality and this happens every single day. Another LGBTQ+ kid beat, kicked out or worse killed. We've come so far, but we still have a long way to go.
Yeah. I’m a queer, trans kid and completely terrified.
YAS bitch *clap*
It's my reality😔
The day I come out, will be the last day I hear from my family.
As kids all we need to know that are parents support us 100% even if they don't know everything they shouldn't do that to there kid
Very well put.. 👏
The way he said he love him after getting beat up by his own parents hurt me so much. But im happy that they dont try to make this going bad for their relationship like most gay movie.
i hate it when they say were too young to make those decisions. bet you had relationships when you were young. knew you were straight when you were young. (edit: think i phrased this abit wrong, i know being gay isn't a choice, thats the point. Straight people like this choose to believe that its not okay to be in gay relationships and have these feelings and be this way and that it ia s "decision" when in fact any non-ignorant person would know that this isn't true. fact of the matter is, our love is really no different to theirs and we can develop these feelings young and naturally.)
It's also not a decision to be gay.
@@MazochistaRozsas i know that i meant making a decision to be in those relationships, im gay i know its not a choice haha
for me it went: thought i was straight, turned out no, i'm gay
True!👍👏
True. If he had told his dad he was dating a girl it would have been totally accepted. I hate the "my house my rules" BS also. You may pay the bills but when you decided to have a child and raise it became their house also. The dad in this was a bully but the POS that beat up his son should be prosecuted and serve jail time and never be allowed to see any child he has for the rest of his life and if the mother didn't call the police on her husband then she should be prosecuted, jailed, and never allowed to see any of her children.
A parents love is UNCONDITIONAL or don't have children.
I literally just cried. I hope my bf doesn't have to go through this.
Thank God that my family is very accepting of me
@@brandonyellowman5138 aww
Proud of u
"literally"
Wow wow wow wow!!! I am beyond the moons and stars with this movie. I feel so lucky and blessed to have worked on this film. Stories like this need to be told.
Very well acted. Beautifully presented. Loved it.
I’m lucky to have worked with you! You’re so talented and wonderful. 😊🙏
Loved your role I loved both of y'all role
@@makirainman2710 thank you friend!
amazing! keep up the great work! :)
I came out at the age of 17 to my parents when I was in high school because I was in love with boy. While I never experienced physical abuse or violence, the emotional & mental abuse was real. The actor portraying the character Jay is phenomenal & brought me to tears when he tried to communicate with his dad.
🌈💜 FYI my then high school sweetheart is now my husband 💕 We will celebrate our 40th anniversary this New Year’s Eve ♥️🏳️🌈 #LoveIsLove
Congratulations to the both of you! Hope you guys have many more to come! ❤❤❤
May there be many more! 🤗
Beautiful. 💗
Wow. Good for you xx
you made me cry happy tears aaahhhh
I was scared my Dad would beat the sh*t out of me, too, at that age. I waited until I joined the military to come out, and be away from my family. They all took it badly, & the same old BS like "Did we do this to you?" I was barely 20y.o. It was the best decision of my life... to not live a lie, like so many still do today.
This must stop, the idea that parents have that they OWN their children.
Parents are merely caregivers and should never view their child as their propery.
How can you EVER own another human being? Such a shame, but yet a reality for too many.
😞
Parents are not "merely caregivers.' It's unfortunate that you've reached such a conclusion. Hope things get better for you.
@@jaredmacbride721 They are "merely caregivers" in the sense that parents don't own their children they way they own a car or a house.
Very strong point. This is one of the things why I find this short film so excellent. It shows that exact fenomenon so well.
Basically this film displays how the masculinist ego plays an important part of the problems.
Connected to homophobia is a bigger story of fear by men that they should be strong and show what they own, in general of people that they need to fit into the typical picture, and therefore that their children should also be like that as well.
you don’t force someone to come out. periodt
Well, Alex told Jason that he had already told his parents. So, its not really the Mom's fault.
You have to live it to understand it, it is not healthy for a relationship that your partner is in the closet, has to constantly lie about your relationship with you, and it's going to hurt you many times, 4 years in a relationship like that and believe me, it wasn’t nice...
@@salvadorgomez6191 I know what you mean man, shit fcking sucks!
Ik! There are so many tv shows, books, movies, etc, where one person forces their boyfriend or girlfriend to come out to there homophobic family and its supposed to be romantic but it's just really toxic.
I totally get where you're coming from but you gotta understand the man, feeling like you are a shameful secret that must stay hidden is super unhealthy too. You can't really hide your relationship and forcing yourself into the closet is damaging too
So he wasn't really out with his parents and they beat the crap out of their own son?!?
yep... and not "they"... it was the father
I hate the fact that everyone knows that their are many people that are getting beat just because they love someone cause it’s not their choice to be gay like no one wants to get beat up for loving someone 🥺
The dad sees the love the two boys have for each other. He can’t call it a phase any longer.
Yea he realize that what they have is real love ❤
To me that's the most important part of the film.
@@talastra I thought (hoped) that the bike rider at the end was Jason's father going to the other boy's father to bang him around a little. That would have been fitting!
I hope the Dad doesn’t object to having two gay sons.
I don’t like the idea of this boyfriend being forced to go home.
This story is so beautifully told and really captures what its like to come out as a person from the LGBTQ community. It can either go really well or crumble away, but some parents come around after seeing their kid suffer. When I came out to my mom as trans, she was really unspportive at first but when she saw how much I was suffering, she ended up coming around.
I'm trans male and I havent and probably never will tell my mum. I already told her when I was a teen and she kind of supported me but not fully. She didn't fully accept it but just went along with it but without calling me her son or by male pronouns. She just let me dress as a boy and stuff. When I was 19 I decided to try being a girl again, just to see if I was kidding myself but after a while I realise I still feel male. I won't tell my mum I have gone back to "the weirdness" as she calls it
I’m sorry. It is so disheartening that these stories still need to be told - it’s 2021 and gay rights have been recognised in virtually every western society decades ago, forgodssakes!
I was lucky...my entire family accepted the "information" from day one!!! They could NOT stand my ex....but my husband now of almost 23 years....they worship the ground he walks on!!!!
I came out in 1979 when I was in 9th grade . I am so glad i had parents the excepted me for who I was . They have always been really open minded of everyone around them . our house was always filled with people of many sexes creeds and cultures I know that this is a
i came out when i was 16 - worse thing i ever did - i regretted doing so for years to come - all the stress and anger the arguing for years to come changed me as an individual and changed the schooling choices i made - if i had my chance again i would have waited 5 more years or more when i could support myself and live on my own.. nothing like a mother in tears waking you up in the middle of the night and screaming at you to get out.. and a father that almost bashes your head in with a statue.. the school i attended was no better the kids made fun of me and ridiculed me .. so much damage was made - not worth it.. i lost my faith in humanity a long time ago and partly for the way i was treated by them - i now over 50 and haven't really been able to get past the way family and supposed friends have treated me differently before they knew and after - i witnessed hate in its entirety like a light switch - a buddy in the army who was my best friend for years turned on me when i told him and he told me to keep the f away from him or he will f kill me - this is after i thought i knew him well enough to tell disclose this to him and tell him about someone i was seeing - a buddy that we had a normal straight friendship with for years - you do not know how people will react til you tell them but do not be surprised if they end up hating you
@@dinscaavinsca9001 I'm so sorry for that. Hope you are doing well now. By the way, I'm also a closeted gay
So sad, this could so easily have been me back in the eighties. I made the difficult decision to live life alone.
Both actors are incredible with their portrayals.
That ending absolutely crushed my heart but it mended it just to see how much Jason cared about Alex, it is just amazingly acted and I just can’t believe this many people put so much effort into this one video, but either way it ended up great, and I could watch it a million times again❤❤
There should be a continuation of this story.
I came out to my family back in 2014 and my coming out wasn't planned at all. I felt pressured mostly from my mom cause my mom is one of those people who if she knows something is up she will bug you til you finally tell her the truth. I couldn't hide it from her and I told her and she told my entire family and they didn't accepted me at all at first. It took them almost a full 2 years to do so. And now they 100% support me and also I opened the doors for my cousins and nephew to come out and I didn't know they themselves were struggling to come out as well. My advice to people is to take your time to come out. Have a plan and be prepared for the outcome cause I wasn't prepared at all.
Also by you coming out you never know who's door your opening :)
Thank you for sharing your story!
This set was so memorable. The collaboration behind this project was truly coming of age. Thank you for letting me be a little part in this journey.
that's is why I hate my father.... coming OUT!!!!! seriously is the hardest thing to do I still don't know how or when but my family knows because I was beat for it as a child by my father for me the hardest will be is to those I care about which are some friends and my students. thank you for creating this video very emotional and great acting :"")
It’s so sad the way people are treated and how people stigmatise them! People do not deserve to be treated like crap because they are different man! Life is hard enough never mind like this to deal with. Sad 😞 soo sad!
What a beautiful Mother Jason has.
the worst parts when you lose the ones you love trying to keep "family" around and then you're left with no one
Very real portrayal. I am so scared to come out too. The fact that the country I live in does not even look for us, just makes it worse.
Never forget you have tens of millions of fellow LGBT brothers and sisters who support you. But I know that doesn't make it much easier. Stay strong. 👍😊😘
And plenty of moms of moms if needed my daughter is gay and i wouldnt change a damn thing about her its others who need to change their way of thinking and acting but know many parents would love to have you and be proud of you for all you are not mistreat you for such a small part of what makes u great i pray u find love and peace somehow as you deserve but never forget people care and support you both gay and straight love you and stay strong i wish i could fix the world for people like u but i know i will make sure my daughter and her girlfriend always loved and fully accepted sadly her girlfriends parents dont support it so they have yo pretend to be friends and it breaks my heart
why do parents have to be so hard on the kids who come out?this touched me deeply.What if those kids kill themselves?Think parents-think
A good short gay themed film worth watching. The film as depth, interest and resolution that makes it worth viewing multiple times.
So sad that this is still going on today in 2023. We are under attack here in Florida. Pease support your LGBT community…
This brought back feelings of my coming out. Looking back...it's weird to think about how much I cried breaking the news to my mom like I was telling her I had terminal cancer or something.
I had an eerie premonition about Alex; confirmed when Jay's mom called his mom.
A lot of good writing, acting and directing to carry the story through. Jay's dad in the end showed his humanity.
More from this team!!
This is a real eye opener, makes me upset to know that so many people & parents have such reactions to LGBTQ+. I myself have had to stand strong for my guys against their grandparents due to their phobias. I pray that I am viewed by my guys as non-judgemental and that they feel safe to talk to me. Thank you for this film.
A very moving film about young romance in our LGBTQ2S community. My mother knew while I was teenage (early 70's) but did not approach the issue and we did not have that conversation before she died in 1989. I want to believe that she would have been like your mother. ❤️😥❤️😥❤️😥
Im sure she’s so proud of the person you are! ❤️
Very well done 👍🏼 remarquable movie! Too bad it’s a short movie, I would have enjoyed 90 minutes of it 😉
I am not crying. Not crying. Damn I'm crying. 😭😭😭
Their a psycho bc they are expressing emotion?
Mabuhay! I just woke up and saw this film why am I crying? In the middle of the pandemic.....this just made me cry. Kudos though.
In this day and age "coming out" should be a non issue. I really don't get parents (in particular) who can't/won't accept their children regardless.
“Under my house, under my rules!” Oh okay sorry lemme just stop being me until I move out 🤪✌️ because it’s just something you can easily wish away 💀
Beautiful. Masterfully acted and directed. I was invested in the actors, and the storyline. I definitely want to see more from these two actors, and this director. Bravissimo! ❤️
Well done, a lot of content in 15 minutes, a great starting point
Thanks from Ukraine 🇺🇦❤️
Thank you for your film. Good job!
I feel like I just got gut-punched at the end of this film, you made a wonderful movie, but it definitely touched a nerve in me with both of the main characters and their struggles. Thank you for making this film, it is a very good portrayal of the struggles around coming out.
Brilliant story that so many of us can really understand, I really hope as time goes on it get easier for the younger generation. I was very lucky to have such a lovely family who all supported me.
For me, quite emotional having been there a long time ago. I pray for all the young people that will go through this. Just wish I could do more for them. Just remember; Love is Love. We all deserve to love and be loved freely.
it's sad and disappointing that people still have to deal with this today,
They say a mother knows. I never let on about me being gay. I doubt that she ever knew.
Unless you got away with a fake marriage and children, she might have wondered.
@@Leftatalbuquerque nope, single until 40 no girlfriends. With the same guy now for 16 yrs. I came out to my brother and sisters. My sisters said not to tell mom. Even my buddy in the military had no idea but we're still the best of friends.
Short but powerful, such an amazing film. Well done.
Wow! what a touching and truthful story. Thank you for making this kind of short films. People have to understan that there is nothing wrong with being gay and parents must support , accept and protect them. Stop being so irrational. By the way I loved the twist of the story.
this was beautiful. great pacing and transitions!👌🏿✨
Nicely done, it's sad how even w/ the acceptances the world has today & continues to grow, there still families who are not accepting
There’s got to be another movie to continue this.♥️♥️
@@MrWmJosephSmithIII point was made but the story continues 🥰🥰
to who ever who is watching this, scared and lonely like me..... tbvh idk how things are going to go. but I love you. god loves you and everyone loves you.... and one day I hope ad ray people accept me and I find someone who likes me too.
A truly great little movie dealing with a problem in this day and age I wish did not happen! Love is love no matter!
What a powerful film! Thanks for writing this and producing it and sharing it.
Wow! This is a very powerful film. The storyline and acting is excellent. It breaks my heart and brings much sadness to my soul to know that some gay teens still have to go through so much emotional pain and physical pain and shame when they come out to their parents. The one young man in this film had very bad bruises on his face from his father hitting him when his father found out he was gay. That made me feel very angry that a father did that to his son. That is child abuse and maybe even a hate crime! I do not know what the laws are in the U.S. for child abuse but in my opinion a parent who does that to their child should be held accountable by the law and he should be prosecuted in a court of law and put in jail. That kind of behavior by a parent is despicable and horrible and should be punished by the law and by society! The most important part of parenting is to Love your child unconditionally and to support your child to be their true self and to want your child to be happy.
Un très chouette film réalisé avec justesse, qui décrit hélas une situation bien réelle encore de nos jours. Et c'est bien de le faire,il faudrait que des parents le voient pour qu'ils comprennent à quel point leur enfant est en souffrance. Bravo à toute l'équipe du film .
Nice job. Well directed and edited. Keep up the great work.😃😄
If he was my son I would still love him no matter what
Love it! Big hugs from VEGAS!
Thank you so much!
excellent acting. very sad film, but true to some lives. You don't decide to be gay, you decide to live with authenticity.
Well acted and a beauty movie!
Great film, though a tear-jerker, it is the reality that still exist
It do.
Man I'm so sad that people go through this.... I wish everyone is okay but I know no one is really okay. Man that's just... Real life.
I wish we could all get accepted... 😢💔
"you're not old enough to make those decisions"
Bro if he can "decide" he's straight and can date girls, he can do the same for guys. You've probably shipped him with girls before. Why do you assume he'll be straight?
Shame on this dad
Quite an extraordinary little film with a surprise twist at the end. Well done to all involved!
Woow. Excellent.. Great acting.It all comes. To LOVE.. 😍😍😍😍😍
Wow this was amazing. Touched me on so many levels. Great acting from all. Well directed and scored.
Great job. Very enjoyable. Why did Alex lie about his parents knowing?
Good question
“You’re too young to be making decisions like that.”
Oh my god that hit me so close to home- that’s what my parents told me when I first came out. I started tearing up at that part because I could just relate to how Jason was feeling-
I hope there is a part 2 Mr. Blanchard.....I love it!!
I am convinced that it is not important what you are, but what you feel. All the more I hope one day it is no longer important which drawer you belong. But simply living what you feel, that's what ultimately matters in life. After all, feelings should be lived and not put in drawers.
Wonderful amazing
Maria told us about your film and we watched it this morning.We are amazed! It is warm and beautiful and we loved it. You are truly a professional! Hugs and best wishes from Norway!! :-) :-)
Thank you so much for watching! I'm so happy you loved it. The director and everyone involved did a great job. Thank you for your kind words. It truly means a lot.
It was a great short! I'm just in deept with this one...
Wow…amazing story. Brings tears to my eyes. I waited until i was 38, had been married for 15 years and had a 5 year old daughter to come out. I am happy to say my family was very loving and kind. It did take them a bit to accept my truth, but it was only fair for them to need a bit to understand something that I had been hiding for my whole life. I am so happy, and blessed to say I am now married to an amazing man, have an awesome relationship with my parents and life is good. We need to love each other and stop the hate and discrimination. Thank you for this film!
I came out in my mid-40’s, had been married over 20 years with high school kids. It was a bumpy ride, but my parents did exactly what I knew they would do; cut me out of their lives. Coming out was so worth it however, as I’m very happily married to the most amazing man, and I finally feel like I’m living the life I was meant to.
This was well done and very touching.Thank you! 🙂✌🏻🙂
Wow! This short film HURTS! 2 think a parent abuse U 4 coming out! I got emotional after watching it, even though it didn't happen 2 me. It still HURTS. Wow!
I know what you mean, I felt like I got punched at the end, this was a beautiful, emotional film.
Omg this was such a Good Short Film 🥺🥺🥺 so sad and touching! ❤️
Dad turned out to be stand up after all lol
I've never understood how a loving parent could be hostile to a homosexual child. It might be a shock initially, but after time for acceptance, the love usually prevails.
@@denniscnaz2844 because people are stupid 🤷♂️
@@keithss67 often true.........
@@keithss67 or it’s cause of shock? shock is a naturally thing.Yet others are idiots
I’m so glad my parents and my girlfriends mom are so supportive. I feel so bad for people who have to deal with this if you can’t love your child because they love someone of the same gender then you don’t deserve to be a parent
If this movie was filmed in 2017 (pre-Covid), why did it take so long to get released?
Yes, too many times . . . and if not the family, The "village" will take it's place . . .
Thank you for the presentation. 💝
Always tell the truth!
This story is very powerful and extremely well made. The acting is amazing. The characters play their roles do well you are drawn into the story
If this were a real life situations I would hope Alex’s father would be charged with battery and given a stiff sentence. The sad thing is this probably does happen more than I would think. And this type of abuse/violence is considered normal
when i went to my first pride this year, my father reacted horribly. ive never been more devastated, hurt and scared in my life and i didnt even tell him im queer i said "i was going with friends to show support" so i cant imagine what wouldve happened if i had told him. im a trans guy man, i truly hope one day i will move out of here and find happiness and someone who actually does love me because this isnt love, this is abuse. i wish my parents supported me
You are enough
I just wanna vent about how much I hate it when homophobes say that “we’re too young to know”
I have a trans FTM friend, a friend who is pansexual and two bisexual friends. My dad believes that they’re all immature and trying to be “cool” and he almost convinced me that that’s the truth until I realized that I’m bisexual myself, and that I don’t use labels for my gender identity and instead use all pronouns. Young people should be able feel confident in their feelings just like straight children and teens understand that they like the opposite sex.
Great , simple and heartwarming - on in the background but made me stop and watch! xx
One of the very best LGBTQ short films that I've ever seen....bravo!!!
Excellent movie of one coming out too his family. I have been there and it's a hard thing too do if family is not supportive.
Wow, Among the best work I have ever seen.
It was a great video with a compelling story and good acting. One thing that surprised me was that this was photographed in Los Angeles, which is not exactly a city where I would expect young people to still face much difficulty in coming out to their parents. I live in LA and came out to my parents at the age of 18 back in 1977. My father, brother and sister rejected me at first, just like Dad did in this video. This movie makes me feel like LA has gone nowhere in 43 years. Is that true?
I don’t think the city it takes place in matters. No matter where a person lives, they will undoubtedly run into conflict simply for being gay. While some areas are more forward thinking then others, you will always have closed minded people living in them. Sad and unfortunate, but true. ✌🏻🙂✌🏻
There are homophobes and religious bigots in every corner of the world. In some places more than others. Even some liberals are homophobic.
Do you have white privilege? Having a gay child is still not readily accepted in many black, Hispanic and Asian families.
@@markmh835 Enough of this "white privilege" crap! Do you really think that just because someone is white their sexuality is accepted? Brainwashed nonsense!!
I think my Mom knows too. Although I'm not dating anyone.
@@linkadevice9748 yes. Why??
@@linkadevice9748 it's okay. We've all been there.

Great film, thank you
I've never understood why, before coming out to their family members, people don't make themselves self-sufficient in case of rejection or a negative reaction. Wait until you have an independent life! If you are sure of your parents' love and understanding, wait until you are independent anyway. It is a security that you must not give up.
Beautiful ♥️ and absolutely heartbreaking 💔
