MY LONELINESS IS KILLING ME

Film Score   |   2016

Two people are reflected in a mirror in a dimly lit room filled with colorful event posters. One wears a fur coat, creating a vibrant, nightlife vibe.

Won Best Short Film at the Scottish BAFTA awards, and screened at numerous film festivals worldwide.

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 hook up, he unexpectedly unearths a dark emotional connection.

Music by Matthew Collings

Set against a cold, neon-lit metropolis, My Loneliness is Killing Me explores themes of isolation and disconnection within gay and queer communities, confronting the pressures of hookup culture and toxic masculinity. â€‹â€‹â€‹
