A Coming Out Story

Amach (out) is a short animation following the story of an LGBTQ+ person coming out to their friends and family.
The animation features Eve, our protagonist, who is a closeted lesbian, and the creature that follows her around. Her creature is a physical manifestation of her fears of coming out as her true self, which she will learn to accept throughout the animation.
The animation will feature resources at the end that a person identifying as LGBTQ+ can look into for help if they want to come out themselves. It is a demonstration of the fears and anxieties that come with telling your loved ones about your true self.
