Leo Rising
Leo Rising is a contemporary parable that follows a young northern lad (and the men around him) as he encounters messy and unpleasant sticky happenings, whilst questioning the purpose of his life as a gay fledgling in a small derelict Yorkshire town.
It’s about the unheard and often overlooked voices of working class Yorkshire lads, and the aftershock effects of lad culture. Highlighting unspoken and rarely depicted male health issues, including living with anxiety and experiencing panic attacks.
