Follow on Google News | Artists’ Vision For A Positive Lgbt World Comes To LifeBy: GaryDoesThings Created over the course of two years, Sam & Aaron follows the story of two grade-school- “I took experiences from my childhood and reimagined them being lived by two boys who weren’t limited by the fears and misunderstandings I had growing up—that they could feel love and embrace it without restriction,” After seeing reactions of love and support at this year’s Pride Festival, Hansen is more determined than ever to reach his goal of printing 250 copies of Sam & Aaron to distribute to pride centers and local libraries throughout Salt Lake City. Supporters of Sam & Aaron can back the project’s Kickstarter fund and receive exclusive memorabilia, depending on the amount pledged. “My goal with this project has nothing to do with making a profit,” says Hansen. “It’s to make Sam & Aaron available to as many people as possible—especially those who need it.” As a first-time Kickstarter user, Hansen knows his goal is ambitious, but he’s confident the message of Sam & Aaron is worth taking the leap. With a fundraising deadline of Monday, July 6, 2015, he’s making every effort to ensure his short story makes a meaningful impact. About Gary Gary Hansen is a multi-media artist and video blogger.
