    I agree with Caleb, always great to watch your work Matthew, I'm looking forward to your Portugal film, when are you releasing it? :)
  • Hehe, thanks man! I've really busy with different projects this last month, so it's been a bit hard to get the Portugal video done. Luckily I have all the shots organized, so when I start to finally edit it next week it won't take too long to get it up! :D Thank you for the message! :)

    Loved the original, haven't watched this one but was wondering why you did the re-edit?
  • Thank you. :) I was asked by somebody who was interested in the video to change a few things like the cat and certain clips of the camping trip, to make it build into a more climactic outcome (so the story sort of goes somewhere). :)

    Peacefull breathing in an hurricane of hatred.

    So strange to see how speeches of some fail sometimes versus reality of other.

    Awesome editing work on both ... I - really - love them.

    Thank you Matt ...

    This is a beautiful, thoughtful, touching video. And I don't want to tell an artist what to do. Is there any chance there's a version without the underwear/nudity stuff? I would love to send this to my conservative parents (who won't talk to me btw). Regardless, it's beautiful visual poetry and my husband and I will enjoy it either way. :)
  • There was a version on youtube for minors to watch, but I took it down a while ago. I'll repost it. Although, I'm afraid it still has the underwear in it. Just not the nudity. I am sorry that your family has not opened to you yet. If you are willing, I can upload the "less showy" version onto youtube for you.

  • Thank you, Nadine! :)

  • Fantastic video, even though we prefer Look up at the stars :)
    The editing is insane and the shots are very very well done. The message behind it is also powerful and we liked the contrast between the voice over and the images.

    Hey Matt, I would really like to see this video go viral. I hope you don't mind that I posted the link on my facebook and Real Jock account. I really feel that this video needs to be seen by a lot of eyes, and heard by many ears.
  • Thank you very much man :) this is a kind if topic more conservative people should be trying to understand more. I hope more of them see it. Thank you for the support!

    Matthew I love your work. When I saw the original Gay=Sin so long ago it made me cry mate. Still does, almost everytime I watch it. Such a powerful message. Makes me proud of who I am.
    Thank you for creating such awesome works man....!

    Matthew amazing video and incredible work. I have been following your work since last year and I have tried your technique and music choices. Few month ago I have been to my childhood place where I grew up in Europe and I brought back with me 20 hours of video footage. I've decided to use the song from "Untitled #3" by Sigur Ros and some dialogs from you tube. Check it out and let me know what you think? vimeo.com/18450554

    Absolutely beautiful. I was stunned after watching this. You have an amazing talent for catching emotion. I had to watch it a several times to take it all in. I grew up in Mississippi, buckle of the bible belt and heard this kind of thing all my life and to see the beauty and ugliness captured in such a way, breath taking. I look forward to seeing more of your work. Thanks for this video.

    No doubt!!! You are really good in what you do Matthew.
    "Sincerely,Spain" is amazing too!
    And the musics that you chose...are perfects, beautiful...
    Cat Power....Sigur Rós....
    And like Eric says: "You have a great talent for catching emotion".

    This is indeed very thought provoking! Even for me as a Christian. Don't get me wrong here, I'm not saying that homosexuality is right, but I wouldn't reject them as trash of the society either. Jesus is all about love, and I think somewhere in the past 2000 years, this love got turned in laws in the hands of selfish men. It's very sad.

    Can't we accept them into the society although we believe that what they're doing is wrong? The law no longer exist, we live in grace now. And grace is for all.

    And yeah, I love all your vids Matt. =)
  • I accept Christians even though I believe they are very wrong.

    Thank you, Sam :)
  • Gerbert Floor 1 year ago
    I agree with you Sam. I'm christian as well and lately struggling with the fact how a lot of christianity has dealt with homosexuality. It seems it's a lot about being right about homosexuality being a sin while forgetting Jesus words about no judgements and love for your neighbour, and not only your neighbour but even your enemy. I'm not hearing any love in the words of the people that speak in name of God in this vid.

    Its a beautiful vid Matthew, and I say that as a believer and follower of Jesus. Just know that christians can and often are very wrong. They are sinners just as everybody else, they need God probably more than the average person. Were not better, far from it.

    Gerbert,
    As with so many others, the basis for that which you are creating your opinion on is wrong. No, I don't mean the bible, I mean your understanding of homosexuality.
    Being gay is not a physical act.
    It is an ORIENTATION. Something you know from childhood on...meaning, what you are emotionally and physically attracted to.
    I assume you knew you were straight well before you ever were sexually active. Well, just reverse the role and you begin to understand what it is like for us.
    With that fact in mind (and understood and accepted) the question then become what do you want us to do with our lives.
    Do you want us to enter into a healthy, committed, loving relationship with someone we are physcially and emotionallly connected with? Or should we enter into phony relationships, and marriages, with women? Remember, we ARE NOT attracted to girls, and never have been.
    Think about that...I mean REALLY think about it.
    So, in summary, if your core understanding of orientation is corrupt, your opinions on every gay related issue is going to be wrong due to an incorrect foundation that you have built that opinion on.
    And I say this as someone who struggled his entire life, asking "why"? Why am I not attracted to girls, and why do I feel so different.
    Not bashing...just helping you and others understand.
    And yes...I was raised in the church and still have faith, but know that the bible is not, and never should be, taken literally.

    Hey Matt,

    I found this while searching through the Prelinger Archive and thought I'd add it to this thread as it's appropriate.

    Bizarre propoganda film about the 'sickness' of homosexuality.

    Maybe you could use it in some of your work someday

  • Thank you, Jess! I will. :)

    Great re-edit Matthew.
    I can only watch this every couple of months or so. One of the most moving and disturbing video productions I have ever witnessed.
    Very powerful work my friend.
    Love all your others too....keep em coming.

    The most powerful, full-on "profile icon" I have every clicked on. I wasn't ready for all that!

    Those awful words, these thoughts that even deny your existence. I can't believe people can have so much hatred, and you have to take 'this' on a daily basis. Violent words edited with those pure, beautiful images. The contrast is very powerful and persuasive. I had tears.

    After the video I felt you. You have to pass this video out for everyone to feel. A lot of people in this world who don't know how to feel.

    You really have a beautiful mind and a lot of talent. Keep up the great work.
    Thanks so much for this video.

    We are all equal. Unfortunately people, gay and hetrosexual, are capable of being bad human beings. From these experiences we are likely to choose our actions in future dealings with our own manifestations of cultural stereotypes, even competing for our beliefs to the death. Tolerance is only possible when both sides live a life with no prejudice and respect all living things. In 2011 our societies institutionalised monetary systems have corrupted decision makers and still allow basic human rights to be optional. If this is true then no countries laws are humanly legal in any court of law. Greed has become as powerful as the need. All people should endeavour to show one another respect and help each other. Every person deserves a fair go! It is hard for our actions to be as good as our word when even laws state otherwise. Leaders of our nations for the betterment of all human beings! Create a sustainable biosphere.

    Hey Matthew,

    I think that this is amazing. I am the Co-President of the Gay Straight Alliance club at my high school and I would really like to show it to them during our upcoming meetings.

    Great job, really.
