“In A Heartbeat” Is One of The First Animated Gay Love Stories
MUNICH, GERMANY - JULY 14: A pedestrian crossing signal showing a female homosexual couple at a junction on July 14, 2015 in Munich, Germany. The city, taking a cue from a similar project in the Austrian city of Vienna, introduced the new signals at a limited number of traffic lights in the city center for the recent CSD gay pride march and has since decided to keep them. The figures glow in red and green at pedestrian crosswalks and show both female and male couples. Other cities in Germany, including Berlin and Hamburg, are also seizing on the initiative. Europe has seen a surge in gay rights awareness since the May gay marriage referendum in Ireland.
The short film, In a Heartbeat, premiered on Youtube this past Monday, and the light-hearted cartoon has already touched millions of hearts.
Esteban Bravo and Beth David are the creators of the short film. According to E! News their film idea brought in 416 backers pledging $14,191 to bring it to life; more than four times the amount of money Bravo and David sought.
The creators said, “It’s a film that deals with a real and personal topic in a very sweet and lighthearted way and we are so excited to be able to share it with you!”
