LOOKIN' I sent my short film, Lookin', to a bunch of profiles on Grindr to see what they have to say (if anything) about a film that details the predatory nature of hookup apps! Special thanks to Melissa Nicholson @melthefilmmaker behind the camera, Aidan D'Arcy @aidandarcy.27 for lighting and Nathan Martin @_nathanmartin_ for the edit. Linked in my bio you are able to view Lookin' in its entirety. Go have a watch! #queer #queershortfilm #shortfilm #lookin #melbourneshortfilm
