Festivids!

Festividder, thank you SO MUCH for making this vid because it is everything I wanted in a Transparent vid and captures so much of what I love about the show. The song cover is beautiful and haunting and works so well for the source with the "remember my name" and Maura's name choice. I love how "look at me and tell me what you see" can refer to both other people and self-identity. I'm particularly in love with Sarah so the moments you chose of her with I've got more to me and you can set it free" and then later "too much is not enough" KILLED ME WITH FEELINGS. I love how you seamlessly blended these three women stories together while showing the love between them. I absolutely loved the moment at 1:30 with fame being Maura smiling happily getting her picture taken with her as she is, her joy came through so well. I really loved how you used the LGBT center dance and destroyed me all over again with sadness for Maura when her children aren't there to see her moment. I love how follow up that scene with her getting to dance with someone who accepts her and then going to his ex-wife to "take all I've got" which broke my heart at how much she wants to love. I also love the section from 3:20 with all the imagery of constructed gender identity (the shots of the two young girls was so perfect). The lyrics "I feel it coming together" was so perfect with the family shots of them coming together as a family both blood and chosen family. The shots of Maura with her grandchildren also really moved me and I love her putting away photos of her new life and taking out clothing of who she is now. THANK YOU SO MUCH for making this vid, it seriously is a dream come true and it's one of my absolute favorites of this festivids :D
