It’s a shame that it’s so tough for LGBT short films to get funded, as many of those that do get made are brilliant, so it makes you wonder what we miss out on simply because the cash isn’t available. The people behind Breathe are hoping to ensure that doesn’t include them, as they’ve set up a crowdfunding campaign to help get their short made.
The British and Irish production has already received partial funding from Film London as part of a scheme to support emerging talent, but they’re also hoping to raise 6,000 Euros via crowdfunding.
In the film ‘A hardy Traveller (JOHN CONNORS) becomes increasingly concerned with his seven-year-old son’s femininity and sets about toughening him up. Breathe questions how far a man is willing to defend his family name when the one threatening his legacy is his own son. Does he have the capacity to change and accept him?
‘Breathe is a short film exploring LGBT issues, the Travelling community, and ultimately, the idea of accepting those around us as they are, rather than trying to force change upon them.’
