Son comes out to dad in a moving prom short

http://www.out.com/out-exclusives/2016/7/01/exclusive-son-comes-out-dad-prom-moving-short

Yeah, Hallmark can still wring the tears.

In case you didn’t know, Hallmark Cards now has its own streaming service, Feeln. For a few dollars a month you can watch all those feel-good Hallmark Hall of Fame movies as well as original series.

Feeln also produces original shorts, including a new addition called The Beginning, which features a young man coming out to his father on prom night. The film is written by Steven Tagle and directed by Melanie McGraw.

In The Beginning, sports-loving Dad (Josh Daugherty) is getting a boutonniere ready for his teen son, Davis (Pedro Correa), to wear on his prom tuxedo. We clearly see that Davis is more than a bit nervous, but Dad—who calls his son a lady killer—is the one in for a shock.

Surprise! Davis isn't going to prom with a lady. In fact, Casey (Cody Sulek), Davis' friend who is picking him up, is also his date.

What will dad do when Casey shows up to escort Davis to prom? Check out the short and see how Hallmark still has the power to bring us to tears.
