Adam just wants you to love yourself

According to the film's director, Mike Buonaiuto, "Adam is a gay short raising awareness of the importance of self-acceptance."

The film resembles a futuristic advert for a customizable robot and uses the mechanical metaphor to say we should never seek to control, suppress or silence a person, regardless of gender or sexual orientation. We are not robots. (But we'd sure like to find this one under our Christmas tree!)
