BAFTA SCOTLAND AWARD WINNER, BEST SHORT FILM 2018



SYNOPSIS

Colourful Femme Elliott appears to be the life of the party. But behind the make-up, he struggles in his search for sexual intimacy. When he manages to lure the animalistic Jack to his apartment for a late-night hookup, he unexpectedly unearths a dark emotional connection. Touching on the hot topics of hookup culture and toxic masculinity, My Loneliness is Killing Me explores loneliness and division among gay and queer communities against a cold, neon metropolis.
