This is my film submission, but I would like to also share my story. It's time for you to know the man behind the camera. I grew up in a little country known as Vietnam (fun fact, Gaga made her first major performance there at the Miss Universe Award). My father cheated on my mother so they divorced, I was 5. Anyway my mum remarried and we moved to Australia when I was 11. I felt lost when I moved here at first, it was a scary new world that I had to explore. From that moment on, I always found it hard to connect with people or make friends. I was forced to come out in year 7 to the people at school actually, I wasn't ready at all. I sent a boy that I liked at the time a message saying that I liked him, I really thought he was different, I thought he was nice at least, but you never truly know someone. Anyway he saved the message and sent it to the entire year 7. I remembered it like it was yesterday. It was the day of the school dance, I turned up and everyone was staring at me like I was some kind of freak. I decided that I wasn't going to have a public meltdown so I danced in the dark by myself for the whole night. (I cried when I went to bed that night). I came out to my mother last year, she almost kicked me out of the house (I was raised in a very strict Catholic family). For years I hated myself for who I was, people told me that I will have AIDS and die one day (maybe that's why I'm afraid to be intimate with others). But now I love who I am, Mum I forgive you, I love you and I will always cherish you no matter how you treated me. I feel that 2013 will be revolutionary for me, I will turn 21 in march this year. For the first time I feel love, this ray of light that I hold dear to my heart. I'm happy.
