#queer relativity

Thank you for sharing it with the world. It's beautiful.

Thank you so much for sharing this, comments and responses to my work like this are one of my favourite things in the world and really help to motivate me as an artist. Especially ones that affirm that the work did exactly what I wanted it to.

With 19 films watched and 2 favorited from 2022, I composed a list of my top. To coincide with 2019′s pure happenstance, the list is ‘almost’ an exact third (7) of the total films watched. Anything seen after the end of February, 2023, isn’t included (with 1 exception).

Honorable Mentions: Infernal Affairs remastered trilogy (2002 - 2003), Skinamarink, Vesper, TÁR Exception: Aranock’s Queer Relativity Why’s this so late? Yes, it is late.

Blind Rating is how worthwhile the film is watching “blind” (or knowing nothing). The scale is 1 (worth it) to 5 (you must). ‘Eh is essentially a 0.5.

Thank you, I'm gabbling gleeful words into friends inboxes and my brain is on fire (positive).

I'm glad you found it so resonant! It's nice to hear when it reaches new people and they connect with it strongly. I still think that it's my best released work, though I have some upcoming works that I think are better, most immediately Jessie and my Star wars video.
