Kieran Evans : 2012
Kelly meets Victor on the dance floor of a Liverpool nightclub and it isn't long before they are home together in her bed and in the throes of an urgent passion, with an intensity that neither has experienced before. They are two people struggling to get by as best they can whilst those around them are choosing illegal lifestyles: her best mate is a dominatrix prostitute, his pals are aspiring drug dealers. Although both Kelly and Victor begin to care about each other deeply, as we see from their developing relationship, it is in their sexual encounters that the real intensity presents itself and their darker instincts take over. Kieran Evans's first fiction feature, adapted from the acclaimed novel by Niall Griffiths, is a haunting, candid depiction of a young couple embarking on a passionate and transgressive love affair and the emotional journey that each one goes through in their mind. His film premiered at London Film Festival 2012, and was winner of the BAFTA Film Award 2014 for Outstanding Debut.
