SPENCER SHARP's video: Gay Short Film - Check Mate

Gay Short Movie on Homophobia, marriage equality and bullying -- "Check Mate" Check Mate (Gay Short Film on bullying) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGnSuNa5Y-w Here’s a music video I made last year about an issue I saw quite commonly growing up. Homophobia and bullying between closeted gays. Two old men sit in a park, playing chess. As the game heats up, we are taken through flashbacks to their earlier years: A 17 year old boy named Terry struggles to keep a relationship with his only friend, Eliot, a fellow classmate who only shows him affection when they are alone. They are both gay, but Eliot is closeted and ironically homophobic, beating up Terry whenever they are seen in public. I was supposed to have 4 people on crew to help me but they all bailed LITERALLY 15 minutes before the shoot, so I pretty much made this movie by myself in a day and a half. Ironically, the crew bailed because they were against the subject content. The budget for this movie was $250 which is why the production-quality aint that nice. The actors did a great job but I for sure could have put more time and effort in. Still a good learning experience nevertheless.
