Sapphire - An LGBT Short Film 

The acting is so good. The way everyone talks is so realistically awkward

I knew ice cream girl was endgame the moment I saw her

I saw the girl on the bike at the beginning and had immediate flashbacks to the girls like girls music video

I’m simple. I see gay, I click.

I loved how the mother kinda figured it wasn't "just friends" in some way

of course Sapphire is lesbian, her name is Sapphire. (steven universe reference) Edit: wow, how many likes, thank you

sapphire trying to explain the book plot honestly me

As soon as I saw Liz at the beginning I was like nope it's trap it's trap she straight

I enjoyed this, mainly because it's not those LGBT sad ass movies where it's a sin to be gay! Like her mum seemed to be chilled when she told her and I loved the sound track!

Why do I find it so funny that the bike fell?😂

This really captured the feeling of living in a little town- and hanging out, and basically being a lgbt teen. Really well done

when liz told her her favourite colour was red and she immediately painted her nails red 🥺🥺🥺 im soft

when acting awkward doesnt seem like acting at all. good job!

I like to think that ice cream girls favorite color is blue. Like a sapphire (Wonderful acting and story telling btw)

The aesthetics of this are so gorgeous that it could only be a wlw film 😘

I had a feeling that her and the girl from the ice cream shop and get together instead because I can tell from the chemistry that they had.

i love this but did they really need two whole minutes of the bike ride

This is so realistic and wonderfully done! The filming, acting, writing, and editing is all phenomonal.

I want a sequel! This is one of my favorite LGBT short films. I love the music and outfits. That vintage nostalgia with the music, bluey bike, and the setting of the oldish beach cabins.

R u serious??!!?? Why this flim doesn't have more views and dozens of awards. It's just so aesthetically pleasing and the sound track, the story, the acting EVERY GODDAMN THING IS PERFECT!!!!!!

this is the best lgbt short film I've seen, so realistic

i think i’m in love with sapphie

ok it's decided, lesbians own bikes and beaches. i don't make the rules

part two please!!!!! i have got to know what happens between sapphire and the ice cream girl and sapphire and liz!! :)

I love that it shows the awkward bits! That’s how real people talk and act, people aren’t perfect and things like these are awkward!! This is such a good film, well done :))

Why do I feel like ice cream girl's name has to be Ruby

I love how Saffie has more realistic features and characteristics, it makes it easier to connect to her and I really enjoyed the video :)

Liz left several clues that she was straight. Both just lacked the communication skills to tell things verbally which is normal at that age. The icecream girl understood everything since the beggining. Very good short story!

Can we just talk about how good the music is?!

nobody: liz: that’s crAZY! (nah im only joking this short film was so entertaining)

I watched this while painting my kazoo rainbow

Lying on the sand with no towel🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨 BYE.

Literally Sapphire is so cute who wouldn't want to date her! My bisexuality is here for her! 😭

yeah okay it’s not like this crushed my soul and hit too close to home nope not one bit aha,,, also I’m in love with sapphire

I’ve watched many lgbt short films on here and this is really the only one that has good acting in it. Great job!!

A nice little film characters that feel real. Touching without being corny. I like seeing little stories like that regardless of sexual preference or gender. Good one.

for a minute, I prayed the other girl's name was ruby just for the steven universe reference

Sapphire's actress is really good, she has a strong presence on screen and her natural character comes through

This film is basically the medicine for all of us who had a thing for our best friend in high school. We move on, and it takes time, but ugh. Loved this.

I felt this so hard. I could really relate to the characters because of how amazing and real the acting was.

Literally a few seconds in.. I was like "this is totally Australian.. That's an Aussie looking neighbourhood for sure !" .... Then that accent. I love it. Way to go girls!

I loved this! It’s different from other films I’ve seen, and I LOVED the cinematography. Well done!!

Stunning! The two main characters acted like young teenagers absolutly perfectly. And how fantastic was the script? I'm amazed how much more convincing this low- budget movie is than the over- hyped Hollywood block-busters. Love it.

this is actually one of the best short films i have ever seen, absolutely beautiful!! you should be so proud!!!

i love this script. and it’s so eloquently spoken. it’s so refreshing

Man....MAKE A WHOLE NETFLIX SHOW ABOUT THIS.....

ok but that brunett is really pretty especially her eyes ! x😍😍

Often sat back and asked “how’d they do that?” realized that it was through hard work. Amazing short film great great stuff!!

God!!! that was so good. Like so so good. I'm gonna come out here and say that was the best lgbtq+ short film i've ever seen.

That nervousness and awkwardness doesn't seem acting at all, everything was natural, beautiful movie ❤❤👏the ending I knew that gonna happen, make part 2

this is one of my favourite short films, certainly my favourite lgbtq+ short film. i rewatch it every now and then and it makes me quite emotional. very well done!!!

Wow the talent. The acting, the filming, everything.

we gay girls always let the straight girls go breaking our hearts sigh (also we lesbians have no game and probably won't go right up to someone we're into and talk to them first so yea, Liz is straight)

Mate, the accents. How can I have lived here my whole life and still love the accent so bloody much.

Awww, lovely, sad, and sweet. Thank you. Loved the scenery. Wanna swim there, too.

Im literally saphi like once, my first time liking a girl,she was straight she was dating a guy at the time no matter what i wanted her to be happy and she got broken up with so many times i had to be there for her a lot cuz i cared a lot but i moved on to an actaul bi girl later😅

wow. I have watched this short film about 3 (maybe 4?) times and it never gets old. The other day I was looking through youtube videos I had saved and this was on here, after rewatching it again it is still so amazing! The acting is so realistic, I live the characters and the slight plot twist at the end- just wow

12:57 girl how could you sleep!!! Once I went for sleepover with my girl crush and guess what i didn't sleep at all.. 😂 in the morning i was like like WTF its already morning!!! Seriously!!!!

Yo, the dock moment, I felt that. I get so jealous if my best friend does so much as LOOK at someone.

I was rooting for the ice cream shop girl the whole time thank you

This is one of the best short films I've ever seen. I love it.

As soon as I saw the first beach scene, I was like "OMG this is Dromana where I grew up" ... I was boy back then lol. Great short film, well acted, I loved it and the memories it brought back.

I love how their names can literally be pronounced as Lez as in lesbian and Sapphi as in... sapphic. that was really creative and im glad i noticed that :D

why does every lgbt film start with a bike ;-;

I knew that ice cream girl was the one for Sapphire! Awesome film and the acting/writing was incredible!

I love how realistic this is, and the acting is so good aaa🥺

This and Bubble Gum are my favorite wlw short films!

Her: Saffie Me: *s a p p h i c*

God her painting her nails red to impress Liz reminded me so much of when I was much younger. I was super into my best friend back in the 7th grade and I used to do stuff like that for her. She really liked the smell of lemongrass so I saved up for like 3 months just to get this super expensive lemongrass handcream for her and me to share

Yes, in fact the first two minutes are her riding a bike. This really is amazing though. The film. The bike riding was a bit long 😂

The way they talk is not cliche, a realistic conversations.

I love that sapphire is the name, it's so close to Sapphia, the OG lesbian. We stan

Great acting!!! I really loved this film ♡ hope i get to see more of your work.

It feels like childhood. Memories coming up. I love it!😍

A pleasure to encounter you on a long random train ride. I'm a member of the LGBTQ community... NB . It was great to realise what I'd thought and felt was 'different'... and been told so by lovers... and explained a lot of historical close friendships. I'm back to watch all your work soon... Every best wish, dear.

honestly I relate... I literally have a crush on my friend but I guess she's straight, kinda wanna die but haven't find my ice cream girl yet I guess.

the Sapphire girl looks a lot like the girl in the Water Lilies movie. Great job Darcy, like this movie.

The acting in this was sooooo good especially sapphires acting A1 fam felt like I was submerged in a real girls life

Yes bring in those gay feelings

The playlist is golden👀🥺good ass music💕🎶🎵

This is soooo good! I like stories that don’t necessarily have happy endings. They aren’t always required; they can be implied.

This was so good ! The acting is on point and so are the filming and the editing! I could have watched a 90 minute version of this, it was so great!! Keep going

nobody: me: i have a crush on sapphire

Okay but Sapphire going to the beach and swimming when everything does south gave me The Awakening vibes... 😌

Every sensitive person who were to experience Sapphire's wonderful personality would be attracted to her, I think :-)

UGH MY FAVORITE WLW SHORT FILM RN saw it a few months ago and it was on my recommended today so i decided to rewatch it and it’s just as good if not better than when i first watched it. might always be something i can keep rewatching over and over

so is saphire a reffrence to sapho or saphic writting in general

this was the cutest short film I've ever seen!!!

well directed!! and the acting of one who played sapphire actually has great potential

I liked this short a lot, especially the central performance and music. Also the awkardness between the characters is great as most of us when we were teenagers were like that. I would have liked some more scenes with girl from Ice Cream shop, it just felt like very tagged on to give Sapphire a happy ending. I think another longish scene between them would have been nice just to see their was a connection there. I'm fine with the ending with straight friend as it feels very realistic , they needed each other for that time and place but life just moves on and their friendship probably ends there. Great short.

The acting is so realistic! I’m in shock!

I absolutely love this ❤️ so many things I'd like to comment. I also think I need to say Hayley Kiyoko here... I will rewatch to make more substantial comments... 😀

this is so good it’s realistic but also aesthetic and pretty at the same time of that makes sense

THIS. NEEDS. A. ACADEMY. AWARD

Wow okay this was so sad :( but very beautifully done, amazing acting and cinematography xx

The little kiss was so sweet I can’t even 🥺

Literally heard “sapphic” when she first introduced herself jdhdhdh. But visually stunning, super realistic and tender, the music just somehow has this wlw vibe idk.

When the scene opened I was like I bet it’s Aussie. When they started speaking I was like ha!

OMG ICECREAM GIRL IS ENDGAME THE END THOUGH Omg I need a part two lmao

The ice cream girl and sapphie had way more chemistry than w the other girl lmao
