Whispers of Life is inspired by the onslaught of publicized gay, teen suicides. This short film works as an artistic intervention to challenge the societal taboo of suicide, the pervasive and damaging effects of anti-gay bullying and the fact that these issues are not discussed openly.

In this magical story about the interdependence of imagination and survival, Tom, a gay teenager, is threatened by a bully’s homophobic words. As Tom sits with angst on his park bench, a stranger named Charles suddenly appears next to him. Charles strikes up a conversation with Tom that forever alters the course of his future and life.
