    i normally don't comment but theres so much i have to say about this short film. you've created a film that felt like it was made for me. an asian american college lesbian who has had conversations like this and also watched the ending go badly. this is the happy ending i wanted so desperately and when have i ever seen a happy ending on screen. the casting, two women of color, people who look like me falling in love and in a setting so familiar too. a college party where everything is possible and also nothing is certain. and finally, the vulnerability of it all and also the strength. these characters are comfortable in themselves and their identities. i've followed you for five years and from your quick skits to this film your videos have been a part of my identity. this is what i needed as a young queer and what i want now. thank you Alexis
