02 Aug This Beautiful Short Film About Two Boys Falling In Love Will Tug At Your Heartstrings

When Beth David and Esteban Bravo decided they wanted to make a film together, they concluded that they wanted to created the kind of film that they wish they had seen when they were younger. The two animation students teamed up for a college thesis project, and chose to tell the story of a boy and his crush that resonates with the type of experiences they had when they were growing up.

“The original pitch was a story between a boy and a girl,” David told NBC News. “But it wasn’t until we made it about a same-gender crush that the idea really started to take form and resonate with Esteban and I. We realized that we had something that could potentially be really special to us.”

The idea of the film clearly resonated with a lot of people and the two students from Ringling School of Art and Design in Florida, managed to raise more than $14,000 on Kickstarter to pay for the creation of the film.

The completed video, which can be seen below, is titled “In a Heartbeat” and has just been released on both Vimeo and YouTube. The YouTube clip alone has collected over 2.5 million views in one day, and it’s safe to say that people are absolutely loving it.
