Before being a key writer and director on the acclaimed U.S. television series Looking, Haigh was editor and writer/director on a small UK indie that broke out around the world. One cold October Friday, Tom Cullen picks up Chris New; a presumed one-night stand soon evinces greater potential. Haigh offers his movie as “an honest and unapologetic love story between two guys and a film about the universal struggle for an authentic life in all its forms. It is about the search for identity and the importance of making a passionate commitment to your life.”
