LOVER BOY

Max Swinton · March 30th, 2011, 04:06 PM

Hi, I would like to share the teaser trailer for my new short film, LOVER BOY. The film will be released later this year.

LOVER BOY is a new short film by Max Swinton, to be released in 2011.

Jack and Chlo fell in love. They love each other very much. But Chlo can be cruel, her behaviour erratic. As Jack's increasingly fragile state of mind begins to rapidly degrade, he will have to choose between facing up to the fatal flaw in his and Chlo's relationship, or exploring his own potential for cruelty to it's fullest potential.

Starring ZACH SELL HANNAH WILDER CALLUM FULLER

Written and Directed by Max Swinton

Produced by Max Swinton and Zach Sell

Original score by Stuart Torrance

Fantastic job. The expressions of the actors and the editing shines.

If I may offer one suggestion: Try to color grade the actors to make them stand out a bit more.

All the best with your release!

Great editing on the teaser. I also really liked the title you used, and the music worked perfectly.

The preiview scene was also really well done. There was no lag and it created just the right amount of awkwardness/ tension. It actually really made me want to see this!

Good luck with the short film!
