Deep Clean
“At a time where the queer aesthetic is marketed and sold like candy: The fluffy fun bits peppering TV, film and commercials, but only the parts that are palatable by a heteronormative audience. After having queer concepts in my scripts rejected time after time, our main drive behind Deep Clean was to look square into the face of that appropriation, put a stake in the ground, and say ‘appropriate THIS’. This film allowed both myself,and the film’s star and co-creator Harry Clayton-Wright, to be completely unrestricted in our output.” : David Wilson
Based on a performance piece created by Harry Clayton-Wright.
Deep Clean premiered at the IRIS Prize LGBT+ Film Festival in Cardiff in October 2019, receiving a review from Little White Lies as one of the six best new LGBT+ short films from around the world. “Truly stunning. A work of legitimately radical power”. The film has also screened on NOWNESS, at NewFest in New York and Fringe! Queer Film & Arts Fest in London.
