HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!!!! 🏳️🌈❤️ Thank you everyone for 100K!! Glad our little short film could reach and connect with so many people! Gracias a todos por 100K!! ¡Somos muy agradecidos que tanta gente se conecta a nuestra pequeña película!
Please share more stories like these -They must be told so we may create a safer world for us all. Thank you for posting, this will help us heal and also help those struggling.
There are many other stories that are not illustrated, like the men and woman looking for love that are denied for being too short, too shy, too prude, too chubby, too different. Sex is for people to make babies and it doesn't mean people are lesbian or gay just because they aren't happy, life is more then fucking people of the same sex, fuck this agenda,
Como Latinx lgbt, es la primera vez que veo ambas partes de mi representadas en algo así. Muchas veces siento que ambas partes de mi identidad son incompatibles. Soy muy latinx para ser queer y muy queer para ser Latinx. Jamás tuve representación lgbt latina, y en donde vivo también son comunidades separadas. Gracias por crear una historia así. Hermosa historia y muy emotiva.
iM literally sobbing- as Latinx lgbtq+ I understood the end so much.. I just dont understand why some of us have to hide because we are scared of being kicked out like why can't we just like be with who we want like we are our own person...we cant even control who we like... I just hope in future generations there can be more accepting people; parents, friends, siblings......family
Gracias por la representación. A la cultura latinoamericana aún le hace falta aceptación y respeto por los demás, pero vamos paso a paso avanzando sin rendirnos. Love to u all from Cali, Colombia. Such a great story, well done!
Mejor aprenda a respetar la gente que no tiene control de su altura, su piel, su familia, su cuerpo, alv con ustedes que se olvidan de la mayoría y mejor le ponen atención a estas pendejadas
Thank you Ms. Alvarez, and all your crew, for putting together this short film. I must say that for a film with no budget, shot in two nights, its production is as good as many shorts I've seen with college or decent budgets, so kudos on the production front. I want to thank you for your contribution to this issue. I grew up in a fundamentalist christian cult and was excommunicated at 19 (for smoking no less! LOL), but had already left home 1.5 years earlier and the church 3 years earlier. Of course as I and my younger brother, who I would lose tra k of for years at a time, were not allowed to be visited or talked by my older brother or he would be excommunicated and not see our sister. But during those years I did not know that my older brother was gay and hidden from the church, apparently his partner was a church member also. My brother came out to my father, I don't know if he was caught like Veronica, or if he went to my father on his own, but my father was like a junior elder type (not at the top, but not at the bottom of the church's hierarchy) and a strict church doctrinal follower. Apparently, he called my brother every ugly name (those of you who are religious, you must excuse me as I am an atheist/humanist who has no use for old so-called holy books) in Leviticus and disowned him as well. I did not learn this until after my father's death of a massive heart giving closing prayer at a church service (the irony just pours over me in waves! LOL) and 3 years after that occurrence at the murder of my older brother when I went and got a judge to kick my stepmother and half-sister out of his estate and our real mother named me his executor. It is painful for me for my brother not to have told me during the 4-5 times he answered the phone, but no cell phones then, but I'm sure he had his reasons or cautions. He did know that as we grew up in Northern California in the agricultural valley of course I was taught to hate the LGBTQ+ community, but as I moved to the southern California Coast, I had made friends of people who had all kinds of little differences that only made people unique and individual, not something to judge or condemn. I am sorry I was not able to find his partner and of course church members attending the funeral would not even look at me. I related to your characters as there was a large population of hispanic families up and down the valley and for many years my best friend "Fast Eddie Sala..." and I use to get into so much trouble as teenagers and young adults, but his mom made the best food and never very spicy cause I ate there alot and I can't handle spicy food. And I was so in love with his sister! But anyway, I'm reminiscing and getting off track. My brother was killed by a 20 year old medical student who rented a 9mm and a handful of clips and went inside a pistol range where my brother was the only one there and when he stepped back out of his cubicle and the guy started yelling through the P.A. system to return and empty his weapon, upon hearing some noise through his ear protectors, my brother stepped and turned towards the P.A. guy's window and the gunman was right in front of him, raised his arm and put 2 rounds point blank through his heart. The sheriff said he probably died within 20 seconds. Nobody knows if the gunman ,new my brother or not, if he was murdered because he was gay or just unlucky. After shooting the place up inside, the gunman walked over to my brother who sat on the floor back against his cubicle wall, then the gunman put 12 more rounds between his neck and his belt line. After that, upon his 2nd try, he successfully put a final round through his temple. I am disabled, but I try to do what I can to help the LGBTQ+ community, even if it is just educating someone or relating my experiences. Before I moved away from where I grew up, I had heard that a kid I knew of, he hung out with the nerdy crowd, I was in an unpopular group who always looked like their eyes were almost shut and dug Led Zeppelin music, but I heard he had took his life and it had seemed like maybe his homelife wasn't too good, but I had my own problems with a violent home and my stepmother's love for the old style picana we had (I lived on a cattle ranch). Probably the same things Pinochet was using down in South America cause they would burn marks on your s,in depending on how long she kept the juice going or you dropped to the floor. He may have been another victim like Veronica. When late February comes and that day is here, I often find myself holding my breath for 20 seconds, or seeing if I still can. Once a friend of ours came over for dinner and brought a friend of theirs with them and they came from a culture in which it is illegal to show any form of PDA if you are gay, trans, etc. or if you tell another person that being LGBTQ+ is "normal" you can be fined for first offense. But this person said some negative about a gay man, it wasn't that they should be killed or anything on that level, but this something I do not tolerate in my house. And I'm pretty proud that I didn't just throw him out on the street, but I did explain that my brother was gay until his murder and that we do not accept any negative talk about the LGBTQ+ community in our house. And I asked if he had ever met a gay person and he said no, never. I told him that is statistically not possible due to the estimated size of the community you would have probably met 50-100 so far in life (I had no idea if it was correct or not! LOL) and so since had, none of them were hitting on him or attacking his son and on and on. I think I got some point across, but I'm trying to get better and less reactionary. Well, thanks for the wonderful film. Elena's performance, especially at last part in the alley, was very convincing and realistic. I started to cry with her. Beautiful, just beautiful!!❤❤❤
Aún en este siglo seguimos sufriendo discriminación. Precisamente anoche una persona mayor, un hombre adulto me dijo que para él nosotros somos personas enfermas
It seems to me very interesting how in the USA the Latino cultures have been developed. Kinda different from here on Latin America. Besides representing lgbt+ community I really payed attention on Latinx aspects. Greetings from Mexico!
I have friends with family like that, when someone doesn’t accept you that you care about it feels like you have nothing left. You fall into a deep state of depression and only very few overcome it.
La chica Lena estaba enamorada de Verónica, la amiga, la amiga lo descubrió pero le dijo que no sentía mo mismo por miedo a ser rechazada y discriminada, la hermana de Verónica las vio y luego Lena la hecharon de la casa y aunque Verónica trató de encontrarla nunca la pudo ver de nuevo,... Sintiendo el rechazo de su familia venir, el ser rechazada y ver la homofobia en la familia, Verónica se suicidó... Solo dejó una carta que fue la que le entregaron a Lena donde Verónica confeso que siempre la amo y no se lo dijo por miedo, que esperaba que encontrara alguien que si la amara y fueran por una "Paleta" o helado,... Lena encontró a esa persona y es la chica del final que le dice que esta bien y no hay problema que llore por Verónica porque significó mucho para ella, y Lena le hizo la reflexión que a pesar de todo lo malo que pasó viviendo en las calles ahora era feliz y fuera por un helado... FIN (También se me hizo difícil pero básicamente ese es el contexto general) :D

Sad, and beautiful. There are too many real stories like this one. We need to highlight them so we can build a better world.
There are many other stories that are not illustrated, like the men and woman looking for love that are denied for being too short, too shy, too prude, too chubby, too different.

me llegó directo al corazón, gracias por crear una historia tan bonita y real.
Amazing movie and really deep and powerful story !
Super deep/ sad and a tad dark But totally worth it! So good. Can be in the physical death or even someone that can't be in your life anymore
Easily my favorite short film on UA-cam ❤
I have that blanket she is using in the beginning. Got it for $5 at Walmart it’s a giant portrait of Virgin Mary
nice catch!! I got mine at the swap meet

Greetings from Mexico!
This was really good.. keep up with the work team
"or you can just love them, because they're your kid and they don't owe you anything"
This is a great video and so powerful message
Love is Love.
I have friends with family like that, when someone doesn’t accept you that you care about it feels like you have nothing left. You fall into a deep state of depression and only very few overcome it.
Many flashback.. If you like someone not hide your feeling.. Too Very late if you noticed cuz everything is over.. And the Best solution is dead...
loved it....just a thing that audio could have been louder

Excellent short film! ❤️👏
