As someone who has a permanent stutter, this genuinely made me cry. Seeing the mannerisms he uses when he talks, and having the same ones, is surreal. I don't think people understand the sensation of a true stutter. I've for one stuttered for so long, I don't remember how talking normally feels anymore. What it does to your psyche is unimaginable to someone who doesn't stutter. It changes your entire approach to social interactions. I have words in my head that I know I can't say smoothly. Even when talking to people I am really close with, it is still unbelievably terrifying. The fact that all this is depicted in a film makes me so happy and sad. It sheds light on how it actually feels. Even when I hear a giggle from a friend, and I ofc know they don't mean any harm by it, that still feels like a dagger in the heart. I don't know why I said all of this, but I am so glad I came across this short film.
