Claire and Rachel We Will (2016) Before you I never understood love

"Before you I never really understood love.
All those songs. All those films.
But then again, before you, I didn't understand how full my heart could feel."

We Will follows Claire and Rachel as a couple on variety of dates. We witness their intimacy build from their first tentative kiss to their wedding day when they have the opportunity to publically declare their love to friends and loved ones.

"Love seemed like madness
I honestly couldn't understand why anyone would put themselves through so much suffering
But then I met you
And I knew I would put up with endless misery
If it meant I could have you.
I'd climb mountains. I'd cross oceans.
You were my world."

This a sweet yet intense short film that is able to say so much in a few short minutes. It is told using a voice over alongside the beautiful melody of Stones by Bec Sandridge. This romantic short movie shines despite it's shoestring budget and is in the words of director Laura Nagy "a love letter to love itself."
