    beautiful

    A woman in a seaside town. Her boys. And the image of the older in the eyes of his brother. A simple story, great performances, wise balance between realismand fantastic and inspired portrait of family. Short, just beautiful.

    An Unforgettable Coming of Age Story

    Two brother, the older of whom is transgender, encounter intolerance and bigotry in their seaside English village. Outwardly this is a very simple story but one told with unsurpassed grace.

    This short was filmed on a micro-budget. Funds were solicited on social media. The cast and crew were almost entirely amateurs. And yet it conveys more in twenty minutes than most professional films do in two hours.

    A labor of love that has an authenticity that is completely lacking in big budget Hollywood superhero flicks. I don't consider it to be a "Gay" film. It speaks to anyone who was ever been bullied for any reason. It deserves to be viewed and enjoyed by many.
