Alex and the Handyman (2017)
Delightful Short

Just stumbled on this on YouTube. First saw this when it was making the Short's festivals in 2017. It quickly became one of my favorite Shorts of all time, right next to "the Fairy Who Did Not Want to be a Fairy any More".
Alex, having no life, an absent father and mother, has a strong desire to have a male friend. Sweet, sad and in many ways something I could identify with from my childhood 60 years ago. Though I was never as ambitious and as clever as Alex. I wonder what Alex could have become with a strong role model. I wonder how different many of us young gay boys from the 50's, 60's, 70s would be with supportive role models. Great film. One that would be good to introduced over and over again. Thank you to the creators and actors!
