FULL FAT

Grace and Bels live together, do everything together, have slept together – but Grace is queer, and Bels is not, so when faced with Bels’s new boyfriend, how long before she just loses it.

One morning, aware of a new presence in the flat, Grace is cursed with echoes of that fateful night. As she attempts to get on with her morning, she can only hear the giggles and whisperings of new love. She’s close to breaking point when faced with Bels’s new boyfriend.

The Story.

FULL FAT addresses a deeply common yet underrepresented phenomenon in the queer community. Time and again, we have witnessed queer friends being treated as a means of “exploration” by their straight friends—a dynamic that is rarely, if ever, portrayed on screen. While the embrace of sexual fluidity is growing and rightly celebrated, the lack of clear boundaries and language around these interactions often leads to unintended harm. This film seeks to shine a light on those complexities and the emotional fallout they can create.

Why?

Louisa Connolly-Burnham, award-winning director of SISTER WIVES, is attached to direct.

FULL FAT is a co-production with Thimble Films and Harp On Productions, and is currently in pre-production.
