CASTING CALL FOR FEATURE FILM

LONESOME

By award-winning writer director of Teenage Kicks, Craig Boreham.

Produced by Breathless Films & JJSplice

A closeted country lad, Casey, running from a small-town scandal, finds
himself down and out in the big smoke world of anonymous sex. When
he meets Tib, a young queer person of colour, who entertains a string
of meaningless encounters with random men to distract from his own
scars of isolation, both men find something they have been missing but
neither of them knows quite how to negotiate it.

Lonesome is a micro-budget feature exploring sexuality, loneliness
and isolation in a world that has never been more connected.
