'Can You Feel It' - a narrative short film.
In a short vignette of a modern gay relationship, a couple at odds find time for a moment of tenderness.
'Can You Feel It' is a very simple little film. Growing up as a gay man interested in film, I have rarely felt represented in cinema. Even when LGBT stories are told, true and fair body image diversity is hard to come by. So, for this film only, I decided to cast myself. It was a new challenge, directing whilst acting - especially given that I was almost naked for the entire shoot.
Shot on 35mm film over one day with a wonderful crew, the film later received an official selection and a nomination for BEST DIRECTOR at the British Film Institute Future Film Festival.
