Finally, a short gay film that ends on a positive note!

[@ajwalker4416]

There are plenty of short gay films that end on a positive note. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ There are also some that don't but I've found many that do.

[@IWillHarvestYourToes]

@@ajwalker4416 ...nah, shut up. All gay stories end in a bitter disconnect or with a straight up death. How old are you? Get a grip. Stories with a happy gay ending have been few and far between.

[@ajwalker4416]

@@IWillHarvestYourToes You didn't have to be rude and finding them isn't as hard as you seem to what to make it out to be. This is one example already and I can think of dozens and dozens more. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ You need to open your eyes to find them.

[@IWillHarvestYourToes]

@@ajwalker4416 ...girl, don't try to victimize yourself over here on the youtubes okay? I wasn't rude at all. I was talking to you just like how I would talk to my friends. Don't take me too seriously because I'm quite silly most of the time. Sorry if I offended you, that wasn't my intention. I think most gay films end up on a bittersweet or sour note and most str8 love stories are all about the happy ever after. That's just my opinion, but you're welcome to disagree. You do you. Have a nice rest of your day my friend.

Lately, the KZbin algorithm has been showing me a run of LGBT short films. This one is perhaps my favorite thus far. Though, generationally, I'm far-removed from the high school era, watching Andrew's doe-eyed enchantment with Ricky and his athleticism, feelings soaring with any small gesture of nicety, transports me back to that time, as did his body-image issues, fear of rejection, and feeling like a fish out of water around athletics. Andrew's mom and her nuggets of encouragement were gems, and I'm delighted that the film didn't end in tears of sadness.

This was very enjoyable! The acting was natural and storyline was really cute. I LOVED how this wasn't about a guy coming out to his parents or the school. Seems like that has already been resolved with seemingly positive results. It's tiring to constantly hear storylines centering around a teen coming out and facing adversity because of it. It leaves no room for any other story. I wish there could be more of these!

[@lotionman2587]

Very cute, simple, elegant story, well done by all. I love the contrast between Joelle's skeptical protectiveness (just let it be and then let's get out of this Central Valley hellhole) vs. the grab 'em by the balls lawyer Mom's pushing him to fight and take risks. What differentiates this gay short film from many others is that the kid is surrounded by support from those closest to him; the only thing holding him back is fear of rejection (and a lack of trust in his own Gaydar!). As an aside, I went to high school in the in the 1970's in the Sacramento Valley and was among a handful who managed to escape by going away to college. Gonna guess that this was filmed further south, like outside of Salinas or King City? Again, as someone else said, everyone involve with this project can be proud of their efforts.
