Private Project

What Is Love

We follow Patrick from age 5 to 15 as he comes out to his family and friends as being gay. Patrick's mother has a negative reaction when she finds out and she confronts Patrick right away. Patrick decides he wants to live with his godmother who is gay herself and very accepting of Patrick's sexuality.

This film was made last summer at Everett's Summer Film Program, which was funded through a grant from One Providence for Youth: Mayor Elorza’s Summer Jobs Program. Everett gave youth the opportunity to produce, write, direct, act in and edit multi-faceted video projects around the theme of mental health. Stories that begged to be told were uncovered and given visuals.
