Experiencing Interruptions?

HORNY

Horny is the first episode of a comedy-satire series written & directed by Lewis Charlesworth. It stars Jon Massey and Lewis Charlesworth and directed by Mat Johns.

Each episode simply consists of a funny conversation between two men, discussing hot topics from today (i.e. masculinity, gender, left/right wing politics, racism). It will reveal the pressures and joys of being a 'woke' liberal man in today’s cultural climate. But all with tongue firmly in cheek, and without heavy-handed preaching.

Director Statement

Horny - aims to be the first of many episodes/short films. Further down the line, it may also be developed into a live show.

Hopefully prompting debate, as well as making people laugh, it reflects the admirable, contradictory, and terrifying things we project onto the next generation of ‘men’.
