Фильм және анимация

"Chapters of you" is a short film representing the lgbtq+ community in their early stage of self-discovery. The film is about a teenager discovering herself through the strange emotion she has for her girl best friend! As the story progresses, she faces an unprecendented truth about her identity that changes her way of thinking in the future.
thanks for watching!

Hi guys, I'm Fin and I just graduated from Hanoi-Amsterdam High School For The Gifted. I plan to pursue Digital Media Studies at the University of Rochester in the future.
This is a short film I created for my personal project called "Lucid Pictures". "Chapters of You" is what I have experienced on the way of discovering my sexuality. I used to have a crush on my best friend lol. Whenever I look back at that period of time, I always smile as if it's a memory that helped me become the person today - mature and independent.
Through the film, I also want Vietnamese community to normalize the image of LGBTQ+ love and take a generous perspective on the community

"The Book of You and I" - Alec Benjamin is rewritten and sung by my best friend in this short film

    *Important note: Since the short film is based in Vietnam where the lgbtq+ community is not as fully recognized and supported as in other country and there are places that illegalize same-sex relationship, I have to make the film less sensitive as possible. Therefore, some of you guys might not get the sensation and feeling you ever wanted. I just want to show people that homosexual feeling exists, how lgbt kids experience confusion in a community where they only praise “man” and “woman” loves and how lgbt people deserve to be loved as portrayed in the end of the movie that the main character has an unannounced girlfriend. Thank you!

    It really hurts especially if you assume that you have the same feelings to each other but it ended up as a friend, that's the sad truth if you are going to fall in a straight girl.🙃

    I fell inlove with a straight girl and then thought we may have mutual feelings with each other but found out that she didn't swing the same way. But now I'm happy for myself, I'm definitely moving on and still friends with her. Hoping she'll find someone who deserves her. I'll be rooting for all lqbtq+ wishing that someday we'll all find happiness 💕💕

    To all my fellow sapphic women who have fallen for a straight girl. I know we have all done it. I know right now it hurts. I hurts so bad to know that she can not possibly ever have feelings for you. It hurts to know that no matter what you do you will never be good enough for her. It is going to be okay. There is a person out there right now for you. Your soulmate. One day you'll meet them. This girl might seem like your whole world but I promise it will all be okay. Your feelings are important and not stupid. You are forever valid and you should know that you are loved and free to talk to me if you need somebody to talk to.
