Utopia drops the second trailer for the edgy new film Femme, a remarkably powerful look at the dynamic between a gay man and closeted tough guy in London. The film is written and directed by the two filmmakers Sam H Freeman and Ng Choon Ping.
The film stars George MacKay, Nathan Stewart Jarrett, Aaron Heffernan, John McCrea, Nima Taleghani, Antonia Clarke, and Moe Bar El.
With his performances as Aphrodite Banks, Jules has a place among London’s celebrated drag artists. One night after a show, he steps out to get some cigarettes and is brutally attacked by a guy out with his blokes. Although Jules is able to recover physically, he withdraws from the outside world, traumatised.
Months later, he recognises his attacker by chance in a gay sauna. Without make-up and wrapped only in a towel, Jules is able to approach the other man incognito and find out who he is. He begins an affair with the closeted homosexual Preston in order to take his revenge.
Produced by Myles Payne and Sam Ritzenberg. After premiere at Berlin Film Festival, the film is slated for March 22nd, 2024 release.
