QCA Quickie: The Closet
It takes balls to come out of the closet. Balls can be helpful, anyway, especially when you're just getting started.
This 3-minute film, The Closet (directed by Stewart Handler and written by Richard Bloom) is heartbreaking and inspiring. Yeah, the metaphors are obvious and the dialogue simple, but the images are rich and the silence unsettling. We hope you like it.

Beautiful little short. Thanks!
That was moving. Thanks QC for as usual going above and beyond the porn call of duty. I now have you guys as my news site. I learn more from this blog then. . . . and you are so much more entertaining.
Wow, that was great. Funny how three minute films can be so much better than those that are two hours long.
I found this remarkably powerful. Sad, to me at least. You can see the story in the old man's eyes: the memories and pain. The shortest films can often have a strong impact.
I dunno. I really liked it. The kid in the film seems familiar and fitting for the role.
Simple and wonderful. This short film outperforms so many features.
Really got me misty...so very bitter-sweet.
I didn't get it.
Me neither!
A simply beautiful touching message.
Very sweet. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks. I think I'll use it my class in Taiwan. Yes... Taiwan.
THANK'S QC. THIS 3 MINUTE SHORT OF THIS STORY REMINDED ME OF WHEN I WAS THESE BOY'S AGE'S AND GROWING UP!! I'M SURE AS THE OLD MAN DID,AND IF I HAVE THIS CORRECT,HE WAS RECULECTING ON HIS PAST,AS EVERY GAY MAN HAS AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER. THANKS QC. THIS WAS REALLY SPECIAL!!!!!
Absolutely loved it ! It was a sweet respite to watch after the pictures of big schlongs and the tempting butts. I find it moving looking at the old man's sad eyes and the memories behind them of a long bygone friendship. Thanks for sharing.
Subtle. Great use of 3 minutes.
Love the movie.
