Gay Shorts – Marco (2019) 22 Mins
When a banker invites a sex worker to his London apartment, he finds himself coming face to face with both his own past, and one of the world’s largest humanitarian crises. Omar lives a lonely life in London. He’s been in the city for over a decade, and spends his days working and ignoring his mother’s phone calls. One evening, he reaches for his phone and invites over a young man that catches his eye: a Spanish sex worker called Marco. But as their night together progresses, Omar gets much more than he paid for. A story about alienation and the search for intimacy in modern-day London, as well as a meditation on the pain of loss and exile, ‘Marco’ is also a universal story of that most simple and intangible of desires: the need for human connection and the subtle, radical changes it can bring.
‘Marco’ was shot in London in April 2018, and premiered in March 2019.
