"This film takes a subject often dismissed as a clichéd gay matter and, through personal integrity and intelligent questioning, creates a generous perspective that connects to anyone struggling to express their identity within wider society. The director/star shows great bravery in tracing his path from a lonely and paranoid young teenager to a man willing to ask questions and start discussions. He includes interviews with fascinating people, motivating viewers to understand their own conflicts by associating with inspirational others. We want to encourage Alden Peters to continue making curious, expressive, challenging films and hope that we can do this by offering a special mention to Coming Out."
