“You need to carry on and finish it.” Kino Lorber has revealed an official trailer for an indie LGBTQ drama titled Sebastian, made by a Finnish-British filmmaker named Mikko Mäkelä. This originally premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, and it also played at the Provincetown & Frameline Film Festivals. Sebastian follows a burgeoning young journalist who turns to sex work to research his first novel. But where will this lead him? What will he discover? Another intimate, hypnotic exploration of repressed sexuality through cinema. Posing tantalizing questions about the creative process and the recurring cultural conversations about authenticity in art and who can / should tell certain stories, the film stars Ruaridh Mollica as Max, aka Sebastian, whose “fearless lead performance should elevate him to rising star status”, and who has already been cast based on his work here in the upcoming HBO series from Armando Iannucci called “The Franchise”. The cast includes Hiftu Quasem, Jonathan Hyde, Ingvar Sigurdsson, Dylan Brady, Pedro Minas, Matthias Moret, Akbar Kurtha, and Laurent Maria. This one is worth a look. // Continue Reading ›
