“A closeted boy runs the risk of being outed by his own heart after it pops out of his chest to chase down the boy of his dreams.”

In just 4 minutes a short film without any words describes the excitement, the embarrassment, the heartbreak, the triumph, and the happiness, of being and falling in love. In a Heartbeat is animated short film funded on Kickstarter as a thesis film by two senior Computer Animation majors at Ringling College of Art + Design and it’s pulling on all of heart strings with over 5 million views on You Tube.

The short film teaches all of us a little something about love and what it’s like when the heart knows what the heart wants.
