Seventeen-year-old Kim Ho was one of the winners of the monologue competition Love Bytes, held by Fresh Ink, a development program for emerging playwrights from the Australian Theatre for Young People.
As one of the competition’s winners, Kim was assisted with transforming his original three-minute video entry, Transcendence — which tells the story of a young gay teen struggling with his sexuality and the love he feels for a boy in his French class — into the beautiful nine-minute short film The Language of Love.

This is very good. I always enjoy watching this. And if you look at the YouTube site with this video, you’ll also see some other related videos to this one and are quite interesting as well.
This is an “oldie” by milkboys, but definitely a “goodie” as well. Interestingly, I’ve not noticed or found any other gay-themed videos with this same style of narration (yet, anyway) and/or with similar feelings.
Achingly moving and familiar experience.
Wonderful. Beautiful echoes of our worlds.
No offence to Kim, who does a great job, but I’d love to see what Timothee Chalamet could do with this.
A few of us would like to get down Tim Chalamet’s pants too ;)
