Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Filmed in a single location with the same actor playing Henry at both ages—Jason Done's brief appearance required elaborate aging makeup for just minutes of screen time.
Released the same year as Moonlight, part of a wave of queer British shorts addressing suicide and generational progress—Lloyd Eyre-Morgan specifically wanted to show that 'it got better' without erasing the struggle.
