Now available on @bbciplayer , FEMME, a British thriller starring Nathan Stewart-Jarrett and George McKay. Written and directed by Sam H. Freeman and Ng Choon Ping in their feature film debut. 🎬 Jules’ life and career as a drag queen is destroyed by a homophobic attack. But when he re-encounters his attacker, the deeply-closeted Preston, in a gay sauna, he is presented with a chance to exact revenge. Unrecognisable out of his wig and make-up, Jules infiltrates Preston’s life, and in doing so, discovers power in a different kind of drag... 🎬 #BackedByBBCFilm #BBCiPlayer @agilefilms @adamhalogen

“The British film Femme written & directed by @freems88 & @ng_choon_ping , has to be one of the most astonishing queer films made in the last decade, a kind of queering, if you will, of Michaela Coel’s TV series I May Destroy You (2020). Drag performer Jules (a star turn by @nathanstewartjarrett ) gets queer-bashed by a gang of far-right thugs after she reads them to filth for their trans/homophobic harassment, particularly Preston (a steamy George Mackay), the hottest & most skinhead-iest of the bunch, who had cruised her earlier on the street. Jules’ revenge trip ricochets between righteous anger at homophobes & her thug-lust, unleashing her sexual fetish for danger, & her masochism. But it doesn’t stop there! Jules begins to perform masculinity in real-life situations as expertly as she performs femininity on stage. The film is deliciously suspenseful & unpredictable not only because of the life-threatening situations Jules embroils herself in, but also because of the sexual & moral ambiguities the characters enact, switching dynamically back & forth between top & bottom, sadist & masochist, oppressor & oppressed, masculine & feminine. It’s a thriller that perfectly captures the zeitgeist of contemporary queer sexual politics.” - filmmaker, writer, photographer & artist @brucelabruce ’s LGBTQ+ culture highlight of 2024 is FEMME.

"Part of the thriller build of the film is very much about withholding information and about only seeing the world they way the protagonist sees it, always being subjective in his head and that really lands quite heavily on the camera work." Filmmaking duo @ng_choon_ping & @freems88 return to DN to go deep into the building of their multi @bifa_film nominated neo-noir thriller 'Femme' following the success of its award winning proof of concept short. Featuring blistering performances by @nathanstewartjarrett & George MacKay, 'Femme' is a riveting feature debut which sees seduction deployed as a tool for revenge as its characters confront their own complicated relationships to sexuality, masculinity and gender.
