He is a writer, so it’s about writing and the rest of his life. Welcome.

Love is all you need, a short movie. This story is multi-dimensional; bullying is only one layer. As for the main theme, it could be read in two different ways: either as a metaphor for the oppression of the gay people,  or, to turn the movie on its head, perhaps, as a cautious tale about…

“Coercion” and “Rent.”
