In the very NSFW short film Disarm, a young man meets up with an older, handsome man for a straight-forward hookup. But when initial passion turns to violence, violence turns to understanding, and an unexpected connection.

The 17-minute short film was created by filmmakers Will Faulkner and Nathan Keene. It stars Taris Tyler and David Ryan Kinsman.  The film won the Mardi Gras Film Festival’s “My Queer Career” award and has screened at over 20 film festivals around the world including The Iris Prize and Frameline.

Within a year of being hosted online the film had amassed over one million views. You can watch the film on YouTube here or on our Film & Documentary page.
