As part of her final year studies, Loughborough University student Amy Begent created an adorable stop-motion animation, titled Spud, about her father’s support of her bisexuality.
The animation’s title comes from a nickname that Amy’s father gave her when she was younger. Amy’s initial plan was to create a project about her identity, finding pride within it and coming out.
However, she realised that a lot of her self-acceptance came from the support that she had gotten from her father. The animation shows key parts of Amy and her father’s relationship, like his support for her during an eating disorder, him being her inspiration to go into art and how she came out to him by putting a rainbow note in his wardrobe.
