Michael Carter shared three short films covering the topic of love, albeit with a proper twist on the overdone subject. They are all beautiful shot and treat their subjects with respect and fragility (when appropriate). On their own, each is properly powerful but together they make for an even stronger look at our most complex emotion.
- Sarah and Bri - what's it like to be young, gay and steeped in Bible Belt conservative culture? Whatever it is, it's not easy.
- Dylan and Brianna - the aftermath of a breakup is never easy, particular when you're sixteen and have been dating the same person since you were twelve.
- Lil Vac and Tiara - losing a loved one to cancer is a difficulty I can't even begin to grapple with.
I admit that this has a weight to it that may make you feel inclined to stay away from it - this is the Internet after all, land of bite size, emotionless, morsels - but I think you'll find the endeavor worth it.
