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
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
This was amazing, the entire world needs to watch this.
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!
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.
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
Blown away. Don't ever stop these stories on LGBT life.
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
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.
You really are a very special young man Calum. I am so glad they asked you to do this video, it is inspirational.
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 UA-cam 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
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.
The most beautiful part of this video is Calum's smile x
Fantastic job. Thank you Fraser. Thank you Calum.
This is just... wow... I can't even find the words! Amazing!
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!!
A shining example of how just being you can change anyone's life.
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.
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 UA-cam 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 :) <4
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
