Short Film Spotlight: Dirty Talk

The short comedy Dirty Talk follows a gay, conservative English teacher named Nathan (played by writer-director Jeff Sumner) who is having dinner with his not-so-conservative friend Zach (played by the hilarious Jason Boegh).

At dinner, Zach accuses Nathan of being prudish when it comes to sex. So Nathan tells Zach about a wild sexual encounter with a hot Latin man who loves to talk dirty pushing Nathan way out of his comfort zone. As Nathan speaks, we get to see what happened on that fateful night that made him feel so awkward.

Based on a few actual events, this delightfully “dirty” twelve-minute short film offers up lots of laughs, some titillating scenes and a few surprises along the way.

Dirty Talk is available now on Dekkoo.

Short Film Spotlight: Play It Like a Man

It’s summertime in the Landes. Looking to cure their boredom, fifteen-year-old footballers Loris and Thomas (Simon Boutin and Matthieu Lucci) by engaging in what they assume will be some largely harmless trouble-making.

When they end up stealing the mobile phone of their coach (Samuel Theis), they discover clandestine photos of young naked footballers in the shower. Loris seems to be the main subject of this voyeurism. Cut to the quick, the teenager goes to his trainer’s place to seek revenge… and things get way, way out of hand.

An edgy twenty-one-minute thriller from French writer-director Laurent Lunetta (who worked as the art director on the acclaimed Stranger by the Lake), Play It Like a Man is a riveting short work that isn’t afraid to tackle taboo subjects.
