Two new short films are now part of our catalogue: the French production PD by Antony Hickling (Little Gay Boy and One Deep Breath) and the US/Mexican co-production Portrait by Adrian Corona.
PD is having its world premiere at Queer Lisboa 2014, in the Queer art section; the world premiere of Portrait, instead, will be announced soon.
Both titles are available for Festivals and Sales.
PD
A cruising area takes on majestic proportions as we discover Greek-esque male bodies in the forest. The sonnets 18, 57, 20 by William Shakespeare add to the Midsummer Nights Dream like ambience of the film.
Antony Hickling
Having originally trained at The Arden School Of Theatre in Manchester for 4 years, he went on to work as an actor in the UK before moving to France to complete his Masters Degree and PhD in stage arts, his chosen subject being Queer theory. Antony has since moved behind the camera, writing and directing a series of short films exploring the Queer theme. Up until now, all of his films have been self-produced and have made their way around independent film festivals world-wide, generating strong critical acclaim. Having recently worked on the latest Todd Verow documentary End of Cruising, he is has just finished to direct his second feature: One Deep Breath.
PORTRAIT
A struggling, decadent painter lives secluded with his girlfriend who suffers paranoid delusions. The painter tries to create a masterpiece by capturing her deliriums, nightmares and abstractions on the canvass.
