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.

Watch on other sites:
My Loneliness Is Killing Me follows young and colourful Elliott, who appears to be the heart of the party. But, behind the makeup and glitter, he struggles in his search for sexual intimacy and human connection. He then meets Jack: confident, openly gay, and married. A late night hook-up results, but ultimately takes an unexpected turn, unearthing a dark emotional connection. The 16 minute drama endeavors to be a gritty, visually ravishing portrait of the “real” LGBT community, and makes no apologies for its discomfiting candor.
