I'm a filmmaker myself and I have to say I've fallen in love with this piece of art. Simply beautiful.

Excellent work! No one ever talks about the senior members of the LGBT community. I'm glad you covered the topic of being in the closet in such a hopeful light.

Very beautiful, I loved the symbolism, I personally always found that the butterfly represents freedom, and so I decorate my things with them, and whenever I feel trapped I just look to my beloved butterflies and imagine breaking out of my cocoon and flying away. :)

When I was a kid I used to go to the house of two women in their 50's they where my parents friends and they treated me so well. I always thought they where sisters. The other day, I saw them in a bar (they moved to other house so long ago) and I thought about them. After that day I said to my father "Dad, the two ladies that we used to meet when I was a little boy... they weren't sisters right?" He said "No" I didn't need to ask if they were a couple. I feel happy for them to be together still.

The first thing that popped into my mind when i saw the two old ladies together was'' Oh grannies are gonna get it on'' O.o
