Louder Than Words - an LGBTQ ( GAY ) Film

[@jakecumber8961]

Niall’s smile at the end was… everything! Plus it’s so nice to see a happy LGBTQ+ short film, even the saddest part was only an initial rejection and it wasn’t aggressive. This is up there with ‘The Way he Looks’ for revolutionary gay/disabled love stories

[@SuperMatt2112]

Why oh why does everything have to be LGBTQ++++++++ these days, why cant it just be what it is, Same Sex, all the other stuff people do with all these pronouns and gender is all crap, social engendering at it's best, you do realize this is all programed propaganda right, ever wonder why everything has become weaponized? Sexuality, Church, Religion, Education, politics, social justice, all labels created and used against us all, to divide us all rather then live and let live, why can't people just be. human in all their glory as long as their authentic in their being. I am gay, but I despise all this nonsense, its utter BS, just be you and skip all the labeling. there are no gay rights, starlight right, black right or white, their are just rights PERIOD. look back and see where all this started from, learn some history and you might just have another thought of your own rather than this programed propaganda agenda., sorry, but I am so tired of this crap and I have to speak out against it, we are at war and all this division foisted upon us all is part of it, these are tools used by some very crafty but also very evil entities.

[@jakecumber8961]

@@SuperMatt2112 in so far that there shouldn’t be a need for labels for people, and we should just be who we are: I agree. As for the “LGBTQ+’ label issue, we might disagree in its use. The ideal label for me here would just be “non-heteronormative” which would cover all relationships that aren’t straight, but who in their right mind would say that? I hope this has been clarifying for you, with respect to my choice of words. But If you’re just here to look for a fight, then you’re out of luck. I just wouldn’t reply.

[@chiaravadala896]

@@SuperMatt2112 history is the main reason why it is important to do all this, if you don’t think so then you are the one who should learn some history. Only after all of this is finally normalized everywhere and by everyone, and after everyone respects each other’s rights, then we can live and let live. This is not “propaganda”, this is reality.

[@pluubooruu]

@@SuperMatt2112 How about you let other people with different identities live and let live, take your own words of advice. Stop watching media that convinces you that other people you don't understand are just indoctrinated. You're gay, congrats, want an award? And yes, rights need to be specified. Are whites mercilessly killed by police the way POC are? Are trans women abused more than cis women? How long was it since gay marriage was allowed, and also, can you be denied service based on your sexuality with the excuse of "religious freedom"? Also, speaking of religion, when was the last time there was mass persecution of christians (or white people) as opposed to muslims or brown people? Who has suffered genocidal attacks in recent years, christian white men? The reason these distinctions are made is so you're aware of what people may be coming from. On average, LGBTQ and minorities have suffered far more and greater trauma then their "majority" counterparts, and if you want to understand where people come from you have to ask why, and get to the bottom of it. Dismissing it as mere propaganda is laziness and carelessness, and you should consider yourself lucky you haven't been through the trauma of others.

[@davidgervais8876]

I remembered this from many years ago. I wanted to show this to my BF for the dance sequence, in response to a dance clip he just showed me. I thought I remembered a longer solo dance performance with the other guy watching but unnoticed. Is there another clip featuring the dancer alone that I should look for? Thanks if you ever happen to read this and reply.

Thank you all! Wow ! I'm overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support that you all have shown this film that changed my life. I wrote this screenplay while learning ASL and studying Deaf culture. I wanted to express that love with my art. I'm so grateful for the entire cast and crew who helped made this short possible.

Such a sweet, happy story of learning to be accepting ...of new things, of others, and ourselves. Fine dancing, acting, writing, directing. An amazingly uplifting film in so many ways. Can't thank everyone involved enough! Would love to see this story continue!

[@kenefdz]

One of the sweetest gay short films I have ever come across on YT. It showcases genuine sincerity and compassion. It is a gem.

[@befeleme]

I am an old, almost deaf gay guy, and you got me crying. A wonderful film. And thank you very much for the subtitles!

[@turbofanct6679]

How is it that superficial and sugary shorts are more popular than this one? The creators have depicted the birth of a connection with simplicity, yet in a way that this “wire” is almost tangible, just as I could sense it with my fingers. That’s the power of silence and of humility, letting things develop without rushing (as in most, poorly written, films). Thumbs up and thanks for this little gem!

[@talastra]

This one is no less sugary, it's just done well. I will say, that the moment of the "lit up smile" in the presence of one longed for is maybe more powerful than the acknowledgment of the first kiss. Superficial and sugary, or drawn with a bit more depth, it's heartwarming and affirming in a (remembered) world of hopeless longing when younger.

[@billyk8397]

I come back to this short film every year or so, ever since I saw it for the first time all those years ago. It’s crazy how much these characters have stayed with me even after all this space and time. You guys did an incredible job, this is so beautiful.

[@lotionman2587]

This is just damned cute. Always central to these gay shorts is the turning point at which the two protagonists find that they are gay for each other and go for it. I'm 60 years old now. Things haven't changed much.

[@dafttool]

Glad to see a deaf gay film. On many occasions, I’ve seen groups of deaf gays at clubs, so it’s good to see them get representation. And yeah, deaf gays can tear up a dance floor just as much as those with hearing.

[@ak5659]

Yes, rhythm is a brain thing, not an ear thing. More annoyingly, perfect pitch is also a brain thing, NOT an ear thing. I know I girl who got just enough benefit from hearing aids that she wore them. She could recognize her friends by voice but never got words. Anyway, one day there was this guy whoi liked to sing and he walked past her room. She came out screaming, "STFU!!! STOP!!! OMFG! WTF is your problem? You're way off key and you're FLAT!!! And what's wrong with all of you with perfect hearing? How can you stand it?" And there was me with perfect hearing but I have NO rhythm and am seriously tone deaf. His singing didn't bother me at all, lol. So yeah, pitch and rhythm work just fine without hearing, bizarre as that sounds. Funny thing was since I'm fluent in ASL, I got nominated to explain it all to her. It blew her mind. She just thought she was more sensitive than most peoplewith her hearing loss. She had no idea that people with perfect hearing could be oblivious to things like being off key:-)

[@euphoricallygemini4969]

I just have to say this short film was so conversational through all the gestures, It was beautifully told through actions. I loved that the guy tried to have a conversation even though he didn't know the sign what made me smile is the final kiss :) I really enjoyed it thanks for sharing this beautiful piece of wonder.

Yes, I'm amazed at how short some peoples' attention spans seem to be, yet a lot want to see full length films. The art of the short film is just that, an art. It's much more difficult to convey a convincing story in under 20 minutes.

[@notavailabe]

This was beautiful. Makes me want to learn ASL so I can communicate with people like him. I remember in school trying to tell a boy hello after school and he didn't notice me at first. So I caught up with him and then he saw me. I waved and said hello. He smiled back at me. I asked him how his day was, and then he began to say something in sign that I didn't understand. I was confused, and felt really bad. I remember running to a teacher in tears because I thought I offended him. Being autistic, I always overthink and over worry when someone misunderstands me or gets offended. I used to have frequent breakdowns and anxiety attacks too. I still do unfortunately. The teacher said she would tell his aide and make sure that he knew that I meant well. I still didn't feel good after that. The next week I saw him, he waved at me. I just glanced at him and looked down at the ground. He tried to get my attention, but I was having an anxiety attack, which sometimes makes me go mute because it gets so bad. I signed that I was feeling bad the best I could by pointing at myself and doing a thumbs down. I pointed to the sky and it was overcast that day. He understood but still tried to get me to go over to him. I shook my head no and signed sorry. My teacher's aide taught me how. He then walked up to me and handed me a note that said he had a good day and hope I did too. After that I couldn't get myself to talk with him again because I felt so bad for being unable to understand or communicate. I remember not really being able to speak much that week due to my anxiety and deep regret. It still affects me today, minus the childhood trauma I deal with every day. I wish people would understand that sometimes my anxiety makes me go mute and I can't communicate. Most people say I'm faking a disorder when I'm really not. I don't even know what to do or how to communicate when it gets that bad. I just hope that it's over soon and that's it. 😔

[@LouderThanWordsFilm]

Very well done and touching. Just one thing : having a whole branch of my familly who are deaf, I can assure you that deaf people are very noisy (don't take it in bad way !). They can't speak but can of course make sounds, and as they don't hear their own voice, they are most of the time very loud. Especially when Niall was lying on the floor laughing, he shouldn't have been silent ! Deaf people's laugh is really something !

Marty Lauer’s beautifully delicate performance as Niall is the highlight of this short film and helps overcome some odd time transitions and what for me was a premature ending. The riding of bikes without headlights on snow covered wintry streets in the dead of a night was distracting.

Loved the short and loved their chemistry between the actors... I have one big suggestion that will make a huge difference and that's adding subtitles... I think it would make perfect sense since well it's a story about a disabled person who can't hear and also people who don't speak English can also benefit from subs... Lots of people are asking in the comment section which is why I decided to suggest it cause I do think it needs it...

As a disabled person (difficulties walking) and being gay myself I know the difficulties of getting accepted into our society. It's important to have people who accept you for who you are. That short deserves recognition

If we can get 4 toxic-ass After movies I feel we should be able to get at least one wholesome movie of this short film.

This was so so wholesome, I smiled the whole time. Amazing job, I truly loved it.

A lovely little film. My one criticism... Why would he leave after the kiss? I'd stay and enjoy his company!
