[@RolyWestYT]

This was everything! It's clear to see how much you put into this! Was hard to hear some parts seeming well it's clear how much I adore Calum but truly inspiring! Side note Calum needs to stop stealing my heels xx

[@Name-dn5gr]

But you have to admit,he really looks fabulous in high heels..😍

[@TheReelCorner]

+Roly I'm gonna steal them when I come back! P.S. thank you for putting up with me for two weeks while I make the ideas in my head come to life

[@CalumMcSwiggan]

When I watched the first draft of this film all those weeks ago it hit me so hard that I felt like I couldn't even breathe. I felt that you had understood something about me that nobody else before had understood, and you'd captured it on film so perfectly. This film is me and everything I am, all rolled into one beautiful stunning little package, and it's the most generous gift anyone has ever given to me. I hope this film helps people, I hope it makes them feel empowered and strong, I hope it touches them in the same way it touches me, because this film isn't just about me, it's about the whole LGBT+ community, it's about all of us x

[@iam1tufsob]

+Calum McSwiggan You are a true inspiration. I am a 51 yr old male in the USA and have struggled with mental health issues for over 1/2 my life. I am also bi-sexual and have been struggling with those feelings as well. My first wife was really discouraging when it came to LGBT issues. My current wife is totally accepting of my sexuality. I enjoy your KZbin channel. Keep on keeping on and thanks for sharing your story.

[@Risadjinu92]

+Calum McSwiggan i just wanna say, thx God you are still here in this world and thx so much Callum for believe in yourself and find the happiness and then you spread that happiness to people around you.. all the best for you callum.. XOXO..

[@56deegeebee]

+Calum McSwiggan This is a lovely film about a beautiful person.. I understand how you felt with depression.. It is how, just about 4-5 weeks ago, I felt about life. I didn't want to kill myself but just not exist anymore.. I came up with 3 reasons not to.. My children, my grandchildren and the fact that my parents had lost their youngest child (just 5 years ago) and I couldn't have them loose another.. I am still struggling to keep it together.. This film is like a snapshot of your life (or part of your life),. Calum, you are an inspiration to so many, including this older straight grandmother.. You are someone who cares, someone who informs and someone who teaches.. You are an asset to this world.. This world needs people like you.. And I think this film shows how the man you are today was formed.. Thank you Fraser and Calum for this insight into the man who is Calum McSwiggan..

[@jaimieedwards4213]

It most definitely helped me thank you xx

[@TheReelCorner]

+Calum McSwiggan I remember your initial response. That was when I knew we had captured something amazing, and you had opened up to show the world. Your reaction, made my reaction even stronger! I hope this helps people's lives for the better. It was a joy making this film, and I still tear up towards the end. I don't really want it to end. Can't wait to see you again in July for many more fun happy times :)

[@Nick-im3sm]

I'm almost speechless.. This has me feeling about 800 emotions all at the same time. I knew it would be good.. But it's not just good, it's an absolutely stunning and amazing look into the life of someone I feel has become a huge part of my life, even if we've never met.. I don't know if Calum will see these comments as well, but I want him to know he's loved and treasured by so many of us now. Fraser, you have a gift.. I can't believe how amazing this film turned out, and I just want to hug both of you!

[@TheReelCorner]

+NickWMpls Thank you Nick :) that's so very reinforcing to hear! Filmmakers doubt themselves very quickly, but hearing this kind of feedback reminds me that I should keep doing it!

[@Nick-im3sm]

You're incredible.. There's something intangible in your vids that just pulls you in. I'm not usually one for waterworks with films of any type, but they turned on for a bit with this one! I honestly hope that you'll make films like this forever.. A true artist often has lots of self doubt, but never let it get in your way 💜

[@JonasDenmark]

I have almost all of those feeling that you're talking about. I wish I didn't exist almost every day, I can't make myself do the simplest things just leaving my apartment is hard for me. I really appreciate this video since I can relate to it and seeing you coming out of this makes me think that I can as well. So thank you for making it.

[@jamiepine]

This was amazing, the entire world needs to watch this.

[@TheReelCorner]

+Jamie Pine Thanks so much for watching Jamie :) did you see your little cameo in the credits? Haha! ;)

[@boinerz]

Because of personal events swirling about me, I am coming to this late, way late (more than four days) after it was posted. I feel there are no superlatives sufficient to describe how wonderful I think this small film is. Carried by gorgeous photography and brilliant editing, we encounter something even more wondrous: the beautiful soul that is Calum McSwiggan. Those of us who have followed his channel on KZbin for any considerable time now get to see a depth and breadth of this remarkable person I feel we wouldn't get to see any other way. I found myself crying at the end, not from sadness but from the sheer joy of that revelation. And how the hell did you do that under-the-plane shot??!! Brilliant, Fraser and Calum! Simply brilliant. Bravo!

[@MichaelLeeHoward]

As a gay man who had dealt with depression and challenging relationships I found this so amazing and so true to my own story. Thank you to you and to calum. Just plain beautiful.

[@benth162]

You really are a very special young man Calum. I am so glad they asked you to do this video, it is inspirational. When you described the emptiness, it brought back what I had felt at times in my life. One day I started out my day normally, and while driving to work something switched in my brain. I turned the car around and drove home. I took out all the pills I had from having a bad back and put them all out on the counter and stared at them for the longest time. Something inside of me decided not to go through with it and now some 25 years later I am in a relationship where love actually exist, instead of just two men cohabitating together. I pray that you find that special person who values and loves you for you, including your quirks, (that is if you have any). I am very happy for you and what you have accomplished in spite of the hardships you have had to endure. You are someone I could call my friend. Thanks buddy

[@hofmeiszter]

Thank you for this! I suffer from clinical depression myself, and i can relate 100% what you've said Calum, about not wanting to exist anymore, and pushing the button.

[@DemonRider]

depression is like carrying a big boulder on your shoulders every day, I hate it when people compare depression to just being sad, because it's not

[@CookingwithKarma]

Well now I'm really late for work, but I couldn't stop watching! That my friend was probably your best film so far. Powerful, thought provoking, sad yet empowering. You never know what someone has been through. It takes a true filmmaker to catch all of those emotions and tell someones true story. Well done xx

[@TheReelCorner]

+CookingwithKarma Screw work! This is more important! Hahaha But in all seriousness, thank you for those kind words of feedback. Everyone has a story to tell, they just need the right canvas for it to be told :)

[@prmgr0767able]

Fraser- WOW! I am speechless. A million thoughts running thru my head, but I cannot express them. This was a WONDERFUL video! Thank you for making it, with Calum. I went thru those feelings years ago, but haven ow accepted myself, although I am still in the closet. I am SO GLAD that today is so different than it was years ago, although as Calum says, there is still homophobia in this world. I wish the best for all of you younger guys, that you may live free! Hugs-

[@PriestmanCub]

Listening to the terrible things that happened to you at your post office job brought a tear to my eye, I wanted you to step out of my laptop so I could give you a hug. It also made me very angry that any human being could do that to another, just because he was gay. I've watched your vlogs for about a year and a half now and the one thing that has always impressed me about you Calum, YOU are such a GREAT PERSON who really does care about other people. I'm so glad that you didn't end your life, because this world, our world needs and is in desperate need of more people just like you, people that DO CARE and are prepared to do something about it. With more people like YOU we can change this world, YOU inspire people like me to treat others with more thought and care. This Documentary is an excellent film which, hopefully, will inspire more "Calum McSwiggan's to come out and be their true selves. One other thing I loved about this film, it showed off that Beautiful smile of yours, a smile you should show more often. Lots of LOVE Calum and keep up the fight. John, in Yorkshire.

[@creativereindeer]

The fade in from 14.30 was so nice. The story-ness of this piece was beautiful, stunning work and I have so much respect for those behind these lives.

[@thetompotterable]

I can't begin to tell you how much I needed this film right now. It's such a small thing but hearing someone I adore (Callum) talking about feeling how I feel right now, and talking about doing things I do rn, but using past tense makes me feel slightly more okay. Something about Callum has always resonated with me, I've always felt happiness in his videos. And it's not until now that I realise me(nearly 19 currently, in a small ish town, not out, and dreaming of suicide on various occasions) has something deeper with Callum. Thank you so fucking much for creating this. And thank you so much Callum for sharing this. It gives little depressed gays like me something to look forward to and something to aspire to and something to stay here for. I know I've said it loads of times in this comment but all I want to say is thank you. And if I see you at London pride this year Callum I'm going to hug you so tight if you'll allow me! Thank you. This video WILL save lives.

[@TheReelCorner]

+thetompotterable I'm so glad you've been touched by this story. Everyone in this world matters, and I want LGBT+ people to know that they matter and deserve to have a happy life. This story shows it is possible :)

[@kieselmk]

Wow, Fraser, I am overwhelmed by how professional and how beautiful this film is. You just showed me a Calum that is so different to what i've seen of him before and yet so authentic. I've seen good short films you did but this really is a masterpiece. I really would want you to film more portraits like this... you seem to understand people and you seem to be more than able to put their personality into a film. Thank you very much for this beautiful and touching docu-video. Thanks!!! Greetings from Europe, Germany!!

[@SpoonieScully]

The clip with v-squared gets me every time. This was amazing it had me to tears. I love calum with all my heart and it makes me so happy to personally hear why he goes through the efforts he does for his KZbin channel. Calum you're amazing and I wish you the best in your future endeavors. And I have to say, even though I'm have a welcoming and accepting family and friends, I was terrified to come out because there were one or two homophobic people at my school and because of you I was able to come out and meet my amazing (now ex) girlfriend. I've learned so much from calum. I'm the Vice President of my schools LGBT+ club and every week I mention something said is a video that has been done by calum. I appreciate everything you do for us and for yourself. Stay amazing :)

[@DivineDezi]

I didn't realize how much I needed to see this until I decided to watch it. Calum, thank you for telling your story. Fraser, this was such a well done docu-film.

[@josephreginaldcota2723]

I'm so glad to have watched your work, Mr. Green. Even though your subject's age and mine are quite far apart, the telling of the tale of one's depression and it's effect, is ageless. I too have felt as though I'd just like to jump off the balcony, quite literally as a matter of fact, but didn't, obviously. Calum has it right. Human beings are, "built to survive". Something inside all of us, gets us to not self-destruct, if we're lucky. Listening to that voice in our head, that reminds us of our worth to others and ourselves, when all around us is negative, is what Calum heard. Aren't we all the luckier for it. And of course to you, Mr. Green, with your marvelous talents of storytelling, and writing. I'm sure we'll all hear a lot more of you, in the future. Superb. Simply superb, sir!

[@saschathinius7082]

Tnx Calum that was the best verbal expression for depression I ever heard... now i have some words to describe how I had felt when I was depressed... Fraser good job with the art of storytelling!

[@lakv126]

Blown away. Don't ever stop these stories on LGBT life.

[@jstamps9578]

Powerful and heartfelt. Lovely and sensatively produced and scored. You give Calum's struggle weight and hope. YAY Calum thanks for sharing your caring heart. The world needs these experiences shared to lessen and heal homophobia worldwide.

[@dannybobbington6176]

The most beautiful part of this video is Calum's smile x

[@Jet2SA]

A shining example of how just being you can change anyone's life.

[@Nat-ho4nk]

absolutely amazing, I actually cried because I have gone through so many similar struggles seeing how calum has come out the other side gives me so much hope to keep on going

[@draxquirnon6809]

This is so powerful!!! I hope tons of people see this!!! Calum, you are loved, especially by me!!! Huge hugs!!! 💜

[@vk3crg]

That was awesome! Thanks for opening up about your struggles with depression. The line "sadness is a relief from depression" really hit home for me Callum. I've had my struggles with depression too but am now OK. Such a well made short film. You really do come across as a very level-headed, likeable person. Thanks for your KZbin channel and all you do. You're actually helping people around the world without probably realising it. Keep up the great work! - PS Glad you never flung yourself off a building otherwise we'd all not be watching you now - Craig - Australia

[@erandle9581]

Fraser this really hits home for me. I suffer from major depression and anxiety disorder. The part about having a button is so true. I used to wish I was dead, but I got on some good antidepressants and now I'm better. Thanks for making this......It means a lot.

[@irishelf426]

Such a beautiful and inspirational film! Thank you so much for sharing Calum and Fraser for documenting the journey. I live in the USA and am 27 years old and I've known I was gay for 14 years, but I am not out. Videos like this lend me strength. Thank you!

[@Animelover14241]

I'm so in love with this. I saw the video that Calum made about being fired but hearing it again brings back my first reaction of utter disgust that this happened. Hearing such personal things makes me absolutly adore him and simultaneously want to cry. Thankyou for making this, everything about it is utterly incredible and stunning.

[@paulwiggins7699]

Fraser and Calum what a powerful and sensitive film. You should both be very proud. Lets hope many more, young or old, can get to watch this film. Just so they can listen to Calum's message and know there is happiness to be found. No matter how dark the days can be sometimes. Thank you.

[@Blamage]

This is such a beautiful and uplifting documentry. I am glad that you were able to share this story and I hope that you are able to contiune to help people all around the world.

[@noahp.8301]

With you being a KZbinr, people gathered many facts about you and your life. With this documentary, you provided the opportunity to fill these gaps of your history, not just for the people who look upon you, but also for the ones who dislike you or even enjoy seeing you in pain. I appreciate the courage you took to let us learn more about your journey and I think it makes you stronger and will build up your confidence. You are a very, very creative human being, Calum and I'm incredibly happy that i once found your KZbin channel. Fraser's documentary itself is so well done! The shots are great, the music is stunning, the colors were used very thoughtfully and most importantly, the messages are significant. It is indeed a professional film.

[@DharmaOcean108]

Thanks Calum, for being you, for putting yourself out there, for being visible and alive.

[@leland61]

Calum, you are such a wonderful person. This hit so many like notes in my life, it is amazing. Thank you for this and thanks to Fraser as well.

[@jaimieedwards4213]

OMG I've been waiting all weekend for this it's amazing really good work to both of you xx love you both xxx

[@TheReelCorner]

+Calum Edwards I saw your comment as one of the first :) thanks so much for your awesome support! So glad you enjoyed the film :)

[@jaimieedwards4213]

TheReelCorner yea I loved it. It really helps me. Thank you for making it xx

[@lpforever6273]

Hey!!! I am wanting a mini-series now, come on BBC etc. we need more vignettes of this type on our screens, everywhere!!!

[@melancholymelodies89]

Fraser - Thank you for so brilliantly capturing this on film. Honest artistry at it's finest. Calum - Thank you for your bravery to bear your soul and share your story. Love from Ohio, USA.

[@swscratch]

This film has captured, so perfectly, the way so many of us feel. Thanks to Cal for sharing his story and experiences. Well Done!

[@johntonks3474]

An excellent docu-film. Calum has a powerful message that all people need to hear.

[@Gyllsd1]

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and feelings. I certainly can relate to depression and anxiety. Mine in clinical. It runs in my family. But, I certainly know the feelings. So many other things were part of my thoughts as well. Calum, please know the good you are doing for all of us, and keep doing what you are doing. I love to watch your videos. I especially love the ones with other people that make me laugh. Take care. You are loved by many people, and I am one of them. Your friend, Greg

[@bogstandardful]

Okay Calum made me cry. Great work guys.

[@its_sophie_blake1307]

Such an inspirational short film I have been watching Callum for a long time she always chose to hide him emotions and things like this for a long time and for him to let it out and for him to tell people his point of view is so inspirational when I'm having a bad day I watch Callum it makes things better he shouldn't have it bad he is such a kind catering man he shouldn't be treated how he did and everything should change every person is equal no matter what and this should never happen cried tho just about all of this... Don't let anything put u down Callum u are a great man and don't let anyone tell u other wise... Such a great film with great editing well done ... Love you both ❤️❤️💖💖

[@williamhwl]

This was absolutely amazing and touching. 8:00 "I just wanted to stop existing" this part hits me so hard and had me crying :( #StoryOfMyLife Thank you for sharing this. Love you Calum xoxo

[@TomHallTV]

This has made me love you even more Callum! Thankyou for sharing your story! Good job everyone involved!

[@natashaflaten5686]

This was beyond anything I've ever experienced. It was more than spectacular, more than beautiful, and this has taught me so much. Calum you're so strong, everyone is so strong. This was a rollercoaster of emotions but one taken true to heart. I appreciated this so much, thank you.

[@evapreiss5292]

The fact that people have to give people pills to make them feel kinda good again is really upsetting. Emotions and love towards one another doesn't seem to be enough sometimes. - Great film, thank you.

[@benbethel122]

Both the editing and Calum are beautiful! Calum's such an inspiration to everyone that watches his videos! Love y'all!

[@armandmauricasas5623]

Thank you both! This is the best and most beautiful way to help.

[@Rainbow_Wolf]

This is just... wow... I can't even find the words! Amazing!

[@DanStorm7]

One of the best and most well deserved likes I've given on KZbin. Totally emotional, hard hitting and yet by the end, inspirational. Creatively really well put together, and to see Calum in such an overarching way, seeing his journey from on high like that really hit home. Great work guys :) such a powerful message.

[@TheReelCorner]

+Dan Gamble Thanks Dan, that's a very nice thing to say. I really hope more of this type of content gets attention on KZbin. You're part of the group that make it so :)

[@OLDS98]

Powerful video. This is your journey and I am glad you shared it Calum. Thank you to the people who were involved in this project. You have come a long way with your journey Calum. You really have.

[@claudiaorefice5750]

absolutely took my breath away! Calum, you are the most amazing, precious human being on this earth. thank you so much for this xx

[@antonhaq3503]

"Sadness is a relief from depression ' - Wow, that perfectly sums it up.

[@brunerguy1]

Calum is such a precious and beautiful soul. And this film captured so much. Thank you.

[@crossfire1605]

That was a brilliant, emotive, poignant and heartfelt docufilm Fraser! Calum You're amazing - the world is better for having you in it because you inspire people everyday! :-)

[@PeterAmbos]

This gave me a new viewpoint onto some of the emotional trouble in my life. Thank you Fraser, thank you Calum.

[@TheBookTuber]

Such a powerful and inspiring story, and well-told. You guys should be proud of this film!

[@henriettashaw9353]

This completely broke me. It was a complete emotional rollercoaster. it is such a beautiful film, to hear someone describe exactly how I feel had made me feel slightly more normal. thank you for making this, it is truly wonderful xx

[@InfinityAtlas]

This video contains so many important messages. You need to realize that you value and that you should always be able to pursue your happiness. You should never be ashamed of who you are. You should be proud of yourself for you are unique and special. Ignore people controlling the life you live. This is seriously an important video. Both of you did such an amazing job. 😉😊 It's also impressive how far you've come and what you've done to pursue your dreams Calum.

[@TheReelCorner]

+Infinity Atlas Thanks Stephan :) it's a message I hope people who are struggling can relate to on some level and keep their head up.

[@KnightRaymund]

Fantastic job. Thank you Fraser. Thank you Calum.

[@daeslepr400]

Fraser, Cal, this is powerful stuff. Well done, and Cal I hope you've found a home

[@louisortiz92]

I'm already watching this for the second time. This is so inspiring. Calum, you are making impact on so many people. Keep doing the amazing work that you already started doing. This is beautiful. ❤️

[@matthewfrank7513]

This was amazing, all the emotions and brave honesty from you Cal. Well done Fraser and Calum.

[@breakfast-burrito]

Everything about this documentary is just perfect. needless to say, we all love you Cal💙💚💛💜❤

[@russmorgan7941]

This was a lovely film. Seeing Calum almost always makes me smile. You filmed his story so beautifully. I want to see more of your work, so I'm subscribing to your channel. Thank you.

[@SteveJFrost]

Thank you Fraser and Calum for this piece of magic. I feel less alone.

[@rebornboy7]

Wow this is super powerful! Calum is an amazing man and I am super glad he is doing so well now a days. His story and his heart have helped so many people going through so many things. Great Documentary and I will be promoting this documentary myself.

[@danielmilks8671]

Great Documentary Fraser. I love watching people use their creativity and talent towards those things in life that are truly worthwhile, and that is the healing that so many need. I'm sure your documentary has had quite an impact. Keep up the good work!

[@tallactordude]

Beautifully done, and incredibly moving. Thank you so much for this!

[@suffl]

Thank you, Fraser, for your great work on this & Thank you, Cal, for giving us this very intimate and honest insight!

[@leeroy2432]

This is just amazing! this is a video that has really hit me hard and reduced me to tears. people don't always understand what its like to fight things like depression. I'm currently going through a really hard time in my life but this gives me hope that things will get better. Congratulations on a well developed project that shows hard work and commitment. This is ace!

[@wellingtonmc]

Such an amazing video! Thanks Calum for sharing your story with us! It may help a lot of us passing by tough times!

[@RICKI99]

CALUM ; I`VE JUST WATCHED , "McSWIGGAN" AND I FEEL THAT YOU ARE A BEAUTIFUL HUMAN BEING WITH A WONDERFUL ,SOUL AND A CARING AND AND JOYFUL HEART !!!!! i HAVE ONLY BEEN TO LONDON ONCE,BUT WOULD LOVE TO COME BACK. PLEASE EXCUSE THE CAPS. IT IS JUST BECAUSE OF THE WAY I FEEL ABOUT YOU! LOVE YOU FRED.

[@PapadumGeek]

Great work man, really enjoyed how you told Calums story.

[@TheReelCorner]

+ThePapadumGeek Thanks Ritchie! :)

[@TigerPrawn_]

This was wonderful. Hope is a very powerful thing, it's what keeps us going in the darkest of times. There is hope that humans can stop hating each other because god forbid a person of a certain gender loves someone of the same gender! This mentality is so ridiculous when you think about it. Shouldn't we all just accept and appreciate love no matter who it's between? peace x

[@JohnKommenos]

I cried in the end. Thx for sharing Calum.

[@jamesca82]

Such a powerful story. I'm glad you're here and you couldn't just push a button.

[@davidcaulfield8427]

This is so good, amazingly filmed with such openness about depression. Great work guys.

[@jamesnebraska78731]

Phenomenally good film, from the production itself to the substance and message. Well done--be proud!

This is so important. Thank you for inspiring others and being yourself. Callum your story is so important. thank you for sharing with the utmost honesty and creative brilliance. I will forever look up to you.

[@j_squared5ever543]

Thank you Fraser for taking the time, money, and energy to do this Awemazing and inspirational piece of art. I always have described Calum as the glue that holds the LGBT YouTUbe family together and now i have a deeper understanding of why he is such an important part to this community.

[@tomgray7049]

Just seen this for the first time. Thank you so much for what you do. Im battleling depression rn and going thru what you have. Wish i can tell you more. Sometimes i wish i was dead. But thru some of your stuff, i have hope, but fading. But this is inspiring. Thank you. Hope to get to know u as a friend someday. Vidcon 18 in la. --- Tom

[@charleskesner1302]

What a journey! Thanks for sharing and doing this. Fraser you did a wonderful job.

[@xt3988]

[@LukeC_96]

Brilliant video, so well spoken! I've just discovered both of your channels, seems like you have a great friendship.

[@jakotens]

Everything about this is beautiful and inspiring. I know it must have been hard for Calum, but we all love him for being so strong through those times. If you see this, Calum, stay strong and stay you!

[@ownyourcrazy8734]

Brilliant work +TheReelCorner. I hope you truly impact people (and the world) positively with this and all future work.

[@ingelabjorklund178]

Thank you! How very professional done!

[@DerekMartinez4Real]

This is absolutely brilliant and touching. There are parts that are so relatable to my own life. Fraser this is absolutely amazing and Calum, I didn't think it was possible to like you even more. You are amazing and have made it through a lot of garbage to a better place. It's inspiring!

[@danbradley2857]

I just want to give him a massive hug. He is so amazing and it’s so brave for him to talk about this kind of stuff.

[@davidbrenneman9447]

Beautiful message delivered beautifully!

[@shannonhensley7002]

I have been looking for this for ages. Now that i have watched it. i can't stop. This made my emotions just come out. Calum is an inspiration to me, I love you so much.. i will be able to thank you for what you have done for me❤❤

[@OnthewaytoEuu]

Well done! It sends such an important message and I hope a lot of people will get to watch it and at least realise how words can hurt. - G.

[@WillMruzek]

It's so great to see a different side of Calum and a different kind of video on KZbin. Thank you for your story
