Luca & Finn | My shortfilm about internalized homophobia
(Admins please let me know if this isn't allowed)
Hey everyone!
I wanted to share a project I've been working on called Luca & Finn. It's a queer coming-of-age short film that I wrote based on my own experiences, with inspiration from Young Hearts.
The story follows a teenager who's trying to figure out his feelings and come to terms with who he is. One of the biggest things I wanted to explore with this film is how accepting yourself can sometimes be harder than getting other people to accept you.
I know a lot of us love films like Young Hearts and Close because of the beautiful storytelling they have, and that's something I wanted to bring into this project as well.
We're currently working on bringing the film to life, and we just launched our Indiegogo campaign! I figured this might be a community that would connect with the story.
If anyone wants to check it out, I'll leave our Instagram and Indiegogo below. Even just following along or sharing the project would mean a lot.
