This is a short episode and all future episodes will also run 1-2 min in length. I don’t remember shooting this section, but I do remember editing it. Obviously this section is meant to be poignant so I played with the contrast between being in love and the fear of discrimination and AIDS. Personally I feel that the moments in these interviews where everyone becomes silent and becomes careful with their word choice – those moments say the most. I would never be allowed to do that in the stuff I make for TV. ...And that is why TV is a scam. I think that Mike really shines in this section. I was extremely lucky to have him to open up with me. He is really honest here and genuine. No matter how much I wanted play with the contrast between wanting to be loved, and the fear of discrimination for wanting gay love, ultimately it comes down to what Mikes has to say and how he says it.
