Keep the Lights On
An emotionally and sexually charged journey by the love, habit, and friendship of two males. Documentary filmmaker Erik and closeted lawyer Paul meet by an off-the-cuff encounter, however they discover a deeper connection and develop into a pair. Individually and collectively, they’re threat takers—compulsive, and fueled by medication and intercourse. In an nearly decade-long relationship outlined by highs, lows, and dysfunctional patterns, Erik struggles to barter his personal boundaries and dignity and to be true to himself.
