TRULY NAKED

Alec is a soft-spoken, introverted teenager who has grown up immersed in his father’s small-time pornography business. When they move from London to a sleepy seaside town, he hopes for a fresh start, trying to make friends without revealing his unconventional family life. Everything changes when he meets Nina, a fiercely independent girl whose convictions challenge the world he has always known. As their bond deepens, Nina invites Alec into a realm of intimacy and vulnerability that cannot be captured on camera and challenges him to explore what it means to be truly seen.

“This story kept pulling me somewhere I hadn’t been before, and I followed that. I wanted to make a film that pushes into uncomfortable territory, but with care. A film that invites you to sit close to its characters without judgment. Not to explain or resolve everything, but to feel. I can imagine that some will focus on the elements surrounding pornography. But to do so would be to reduce the film to a narrow reading. No matter the family or environment we are raised in, our souls crave connection. The film explores intimacy in its different forms: within the family, within friendship and love, and within oneself.”
