Interesting, doesn't relate to me at all but I enjoyed the creativity and publicity you guys are giving to a over looked culture. Keep it up. Support what you believe.·
In a word: BRILLIANT!!! I am in awe of the bravery of both the film maker and the lead, Tajir. This film just gave me my ENTIRE life... and the ending track was absolute perfection!!!I can't say enough about this film... continued blessings to everyone involved in this timely and oh so necessary piece of art!·-
O and 285 has been under construction for two years? Hilarious! But don't do my city like that *side eye* lol #foreveriloveatlanta·-
- What in the HELL took you so long to find this PERFECT role for Tajir? Omg... that was pure ART EFFIN WORK I've seen Tajir act in like 2 other things, but this? Amazing. The production team. the script, the characters, the actor/resses... LOVED IT. This was beyond phenomenal. Standing ovation, encore encore I can't wait to see more.·
- aww #reedcheeks I truly appreciate the love, we all do!
Friggin' love it! I am intrigued with identity from every perspective. I love this debut from beginning to end. Definitely keep your dream at the forefrontn I can see the essence of your heart in your characters. I'm looking forward to much more from you!·
- Thank you for making this film. Def can't wait to see more. Tahoe is awesome·
Very, very profound. In my opinion, this is not just about Dale and his transformation. I think that there is SO much more to this that just a ftm life change. I think that we can all say that there is a little bit of Dale in all of us. We go through life with people seeing us, but not really SEEING us. No one knows of Dales inner turmoil, desires, or secrets. No one knew what Dale was going through to simply be... Dale. I LOVE THIS! Awesome job!· 2
Thank you for presenting this film...this story... this truth. I admire it all and you both. Bold. Beautiful. Real. Strong. and Necessary.· 3
Im loving this film! It says soo much about guys like myself that are MEN nothing less. I would love to see this turn into a movie. Please keep me posted on updates emailing list whatever. I am passing this on. Thank You!blackout.society.inc@gmail.com· 4
I really enjoyed this taste of the full-length feature. I can't wait to experience it in its fullness! I'm loving the vision and temperature of this project - we, as a society and even in the LGBT community, need to embrace or transgendered brothers and sisters more. They are real, they are human, and they need our love and attention. Many Blessings to you and all of those involved in making your film.·- So awesome. So poignant. So effective. What a tremendous premiere. I applaud all men and women of trans experience who take to the airwaves to present their stories from the heart. Fantastic job. Who knows, maybe one day my youtube vids may be broadcast on the big screen. lol. Much luv!·
- Great job TDV. I expected nothing but greatness and that what produced. You're always on your "A" game.·
I just keep watching this over and over again! TDV this transman thanks you for stepping out and doing this!·
After the 3rd time watching this, I still love it, I know it is speaking to a lot of people. It is a very powerful story. Bravery is definitely an important key in life, and Tajir really has it. Decision making can be hard in this film but I know through out what's next to come, everyone will make the right ones. Tajir is a terrific actor & can't wait to see more. It is always wonderful. I'm definitely passing this on to a lot of people I know.·
Just finished watching the film and in my eyes it made me feel lots of different emotions at the end and all I can say is Bravo!!! I know it had to be a short movie but if this was taken further and deeper, few tweeks, it could be an amazing film. I just recently found out you did this and wanted to see your work. Be very proud of all your hard work and this film. Just amazing and breath taking in the end seen!!·
What an excellent film! Now that I have seen this one - it is on to the others. Your voice is well spoken. But I am keeping my shirt on!!·- My dude Tajir did his thang! I dig this made me think. Can't wait for more!·
- Lol,Tajir is amazing.Everytime I see her perform I'm awestruck...Wow!!! In a Great Way,just Wow·
Good execution. Interesting, and powerful story. I follow on you on FB, and tracked the production of this, so the reveal was not surprising, however, the how, and the when were. No negative comments should be shared here, because the hardest thing about screenwriting and filming, is completing it. Congratulations. Good casting on the lead.·
Wow that reveal was powerful Teresa!!! And thank you Tajir, I admire brave artists like you. I also agree with Sajeera, there was something about the connection between the two characters Dale and Sabrina that is relatable on a universal level. Brilliant concept Teresa, looking forward to more exploration on the topic and the storyline of Dale and Sabrina.·
Now that's what I am talking about! The definition of brave film making. I am passing this along because it is a story that needs to be heard and celebrated.· 4
Thank you love!! I SO happy you like it! Makes ME happy! lol
Awesome job. it take a really brave person to do that thank: Tajirs S Hawkins.·
I am really digging this flick so far. I can't wait to see it on the big screen. I think my favorite characters are going to be Dale and Sabrina. The connection between these two is awesome. People can relate to this film in many ways. I do have question...will Dale have any lesbian friends, or is he always hanging the homeboys? -Sleepy·
Hey Tajir! Saw the film it was really good. I am so proud to have contributed financial to bring this film to fruition. You were awesome in it Family. I would have liked to see the reactions of Dale's male friends, when he revealed himself, and how the writer addresses how Dale explains this to Sabrina. I understand that this short film, will be a feature due out Dec 2013 and those questions will be answered then.·
Epic!(Dale & Sabrina, they should definitely make something beautiful.)·
I knew by the title this was going to be great. I was amazed at the film, it left me wanting to see more. I can't wait to see the entire film. You guys did an amazing amazing job!!!!·- watched it 3 times nd then just sat here for like 5 min trying to think of how to express what i was thinking nd feeling... much respect to TDV for an amazing story! s/o to Tajir for a brilliant performance! those moments when we were taken on that death-defying roller coaster of emotions almost did me in... absolutely powerful!! i love it!·
