When he said "You're the first girl I've touched in ages", and she burst into tears, I felt that. No words or exposition were necessary to convey what she felt.

She burst into tears? How could you not. It could be such a simple thing; a sentence, a single word, or a look, but the impact can be enormous.

Definitely one of the more nuanced portrayals of a trans woman I've seen in a short film. When you're actually out living as a trans woman, or trans person for that matter, it's not the spectacle of transitioning that shapes you the most. More often, it's the small, beautiful moments; those odd little interactions that let you see yourself in a new light. Even if they only last for a brief moment, it's those simple things that force you to see your own beauty.

Such a wonderful film. Beautifully layered and impeccably acted. Is it strange to say that one of things (and there are many) that I liked was the scene with Dawn getting on the bus? As a trans woman, I've been out and about, and ended up near a bunch of rowdy teens more than once. Almost every time, they've been polite, quietened down (for a minute) and shown themselves in a good light. The only downside being my age, where I now get called "madam". ;-) But, in all seriousness, I love the intersectionality of this film. We're all more complex than one-dimensional caricatures portrayed by some media. Keep up the good work, Jake!

@@JakeGrafFilms I came back again (to Find This, again) after 2 years. it *IS* very Very well done. There really *SHOULD* be a part 2, .... I tried (briefly) to do a basic search. .... there _Should_ (there *Could* be) a part 2 to this. The: *_First Girl I've touched_* Line..... Where Dawn breaks for a moment, really is super-touching. There was a lot packed into the few minutes of this. You rapidly become "invested" in these young adults. And you do *_WONDER what happens with both of them_* Basically you come away from this little drama, saying to yourself: _There could be _*_worse things_*_ than, being KIND to One Another_

I've commented on your work before! Love how transportive this film is - introducing those of us who may be sighted/cis-/straight to ways of otherness that ultimately loop back to embrace us all. An open invitation for a more trusting, sensuous and feeling world. Thank you Jake!

I've watched this several times a week since I first saw this. This is hands-down one of my absolute favourite short films of all time! Such a simple, yet powerful reminder of the power and importance of connections, no matter how brief or unorthodox in nature they might be. And I think this speaks to all, irrespective of being trans or not. Really well done to everyone involved, you all should be very proud! 👏🎬

I love the glimpse of hope, strength, optimism and the use of literal x figurative metaphor of the "eyes". Having it makes people blind to see the essence of a transwoman: a human who deserves to be treated fairly. I finished the movie feeling triumph, pride and tranquility. Just one thing, I am not a native English speaker, and it was difficult for me to hear some of what they said, so subtitles, please.

Touching film, Subscribed! I'm disabled and trans; weird intersection. Partially paralyzed due to a stroke, but still started HRT. Finally understand this whole happiness and pride thing some people say they feel. Good to want to live after half a century of suicidal ideation. My wife is staying saying she "loves a person, not a gender". I am not worthy!

In my eyes it was a happy ending, because the woman got the guy's jacket, the guy was really nice to her, and the people on the bus gendered her correctly. Maybe that's just my optimism, but it could've been a sad ending
