Protect Me From What I Want



Not usually a huge fan of gay indies - especially what passes for them in these parts - but this little gem of a 13-minute short resonated with me.

Maybe because at one point in my life - and not too long ago - I knew exactly how Saleem felt. About what he wanted. And the shame and confusion and longing and desire and everything that's part and parcel of coming to terms with who we are.




     


Enjoy.
