Note from Todd: I am grateful for the supporting father I have, but I want to be clear that I know this is not how many people’s experiences are like. I just want to share some happy ending story like mine out there for more positivity and hope! The message is that sometimes we need to give our parents a little more credit for acceptance. Hope this video does that for as many people out there as possible!

This is my coming out thesis film from my New York Film Academy MFA Program based on the true story of me coming out to my father.
