"Even If" is a short film that tries to reflect the issues of bullying and excessive violence in school. Alongside it represents the LGBT’s perspective of being treated badly by society. Just because you are different, doesn’t mean you are wrong. Be yourself. (Source: Richie Thitipat YouTube) Edit Translation

Director Statement
In high school, anything abnormal can be easily targeted for bullying. Especially opening LGBT individuals or groups will face social judgment from the surrounding. In this case, high school students don't have enough maturity to understand these people but instead act out to bully them for satisfaction. Even If is written to illustrate how social pressure on opening LGBTQ+ affects them deep inside physically and mentally. Words are like bullets, with all the bullying and sexual harassment of LGBT people can ruin their lives without no one responsible. Some people did not even have a problem with LGBT people but when it's become a trend or target, it is like entertainment to follow those actions, With limited time to build a relationship for the characters, the montage will be involved a lot to balance the reasons of situation and action of the story. The story includes a dramatic line and expressions, color and tone will be a major key to helping the visual get more emotional.Was this review helpful to you?
Love is a terrible thing to hate.
Everything is moving forward, each day we learn something new about our world and society. Yet some people still don't understand, that having different opinion is not an excuse for violence or hatred, because opinions are like assh*les - we all have one.N O T S P O I L E R F R E E / N O M A J O R S P O I L E R S
Cin and May go from friends to lovers, not hiding their relationship from nobody, especially not from their schoolmates. At the beginning everything is rosy pink and they are happy, but one person is enough to trigger a chain of bullying and hate. Sometimes hard times bring us closer to each other and sometimes it is what tears us apart, even tho the love is still there. And that's how it goes for Cin and May...
There's nothing much to write about Even If, it's short, well written and shot movie that leaves sour taste in your mouth and breaks your heart. A theme that we see too often in LGBTQIA+ movies, dramas, books... And we will keep seeing it for a while, unfortunately.
