Eight confessions, one unhinged gay psyche — your therapist can't fix what this film exposes.
Take a peak under the surface of any gay man, and who knows what you'll find? Confessions, an anthology of disclosures from the recesses of the gay male psyche, goes some way to answer that very question. Spanning themes that are dark, sexy, intense, funny, romantic and shocking, Confessions turns a spotlight on characters you don't often get to see- but will not want to turn away from.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Released in 2016, this captures a specific pre-#MeToo, pre-'Pose' moment where queer indie horror was still operating in margins, unpolished and willing to be genuinely uncomfortable.
Tom Goss, who plays The Singer, is an actual indie musician whose original songs were written for the film — the musical number wasn't scripted as camp, which makes its placement even more fascinating.
