Stand Up: My Best Friend is a documentary assembled from a series of interviews given by young Irish LGBT individuals and their straight best friend.
The documentary is a tender mood piece that illustrates a radically different Ireland than that is normally perceived or propagated overseas. It is a celebration of how far Ireland has come in terms of sexuality and social inclusion and is a heart warming celebration of a generation to come for whom friendship transcends ideas of conformity and difference. Through its intimacy, honesty and genuine feeling, the piece delivers a message of hope in the future generation and in the transformative power of friendship.
