It Gets Better: Alex Bohs in Chicago

I made an "It Gets Better" video a few months ago. It has sat on my computer, waiting and waiting to be added to the slew of amazing stories. I came close to uploading it a few times, but it just never felt right like I had the right story to tell, until now....

I'm technologically-inclined and can't get the links to work at the end:

It gets better. It really, really does.

Here's a link to my blog. I update rather often! Join in on the conversation:

Your story and the stories you tell gave me chills. Keep doing what you're doing; it is SO important.

Hello Alex,

I've just seen your video "half" and it - without exaggeration - touched my heart. The story is so artfully told and captures (for me) both the joy and the sadness of love, companionship and missed opportunities in a very delicat way. A video that makes me want to hold on to my wonderful girlfriend.

Keep up your fantastic work (I'm really hoping to hear/see from you again soon!) and never, NERVER let you be put down by someones foolish comments.

Many greetings,

Katrin

Half was absolutely AMAZING! I've never seen a short film that great in forever. You have so much talent and I know that one day you will go somewhere with it. I really hope to see you win an Oscar one day for one of your films :)

I just saw Half. I really, really wanted to comment on it, but when I went to make an account, it told me new signups had been disabled.

I just wanted to tell you how inspiring it was, and how unique. I really appreciated the time and effort you put in.

And I really appreciate you giving your say to the world to help people like me and you find some happiness, if they just stick with it a little longer.

I haven't found my happiness yet. But I hope I will soon.

I loved half! Amazing work!

I was seriously screaming at the end & yellling out "No!! they have to cross paths again! They are soulmates"

Great use of Chicago and the CTA. I can definitely relate to those scenes as it's part of my daily ritual of taking the El.

Keep on making these amazing short films! Much love! ♥
