Back in May, the trailer for In A Hearbeat got a lot of people excited for this Pixar-eque animated short about a sweet gay love story. At the time, filmmakers Esteban Bravo and Beth David from the Ringling College of Art commented, “Being gay is a subject that hasn’t been widely explored in computer animation. Nine out of ten LGBT youths have reported incidences of bullying based on their orientations and identities… We want to put out a message of love and self acceptance to all the kids and young people who struggle to identify as LGBT+”.
In the exceedingly sweet, charming and often quite witty short, ‘A closeted boy runs the risk of being outed by his own heart after it pops out of his chest to chase down the boy of his dreams.’
