A Thing of Beauty The Gift

When I first introduced A Thing of Beauty I stated It's my hope that these short films are a candle in the dark for anyone who doubts that the love between two men is anything but a thing of beauty.But as the project progressed and took on a life of its own it connected me with the idea of life and the things that make it beautiful.For years I had compartmentalized many parts of my life work family being gay sex and the list goes on. Often I'd find myself exhausted from just the management and reconciliation of all my states of mind being something or acting some way I thought was expected of me. I finally realized I was just another hamster on the hamster wheel of life. ENOUGH!Every day I work hard to free myself from a way of being that caused me to live in an inauthentic state. The first thing I do every morning is speak out loud the things I am grateful for. It's a powerful inoculation to the negativity that seems to overtake our daily thoughts.When RJ Benny and I set out to make A Thing of Beauty the key ingredient was Gabriel Clark. Having worked with him for the last three years has been an inspiration a joy and a blessing. And in this film The Gift you will see why.AlwaysJake Jaxson
