Alden Peters, 2015, USA, 72 mins.
Queer Youth Celebration! – Free Admission

Filmmaker Alden Peters is coming out of the closet to his friends and family…on camera. Their filmed reactions range from happy tears to denial, but the overall result is acceptance of Peters’ formerly painful secret. As his story unfolds, Peters investigates his new “out” community, begging for guidance as to how exactly “it gets better.” What he finds instead is the courage to forge his own way, while shared coming out stories prove that we are not alone.
