DADDY (2025) - NARRATIVE SHORT FICTION
Written & Directed by Dan Shaw
Premiered at Ridgway International Film Festival 2025
After a surprisingly successful one night stand (albeit without a big finish), Ben, 36, feels like he's made a connection with his unexpectedly intimate shag Nicky, 24. He decides to let the boy stay a while, and chat, with Ben opening up about his mental health, and Nicky confessing that he sometimes works as an escort. On hearing this Ben withdraws, and closes off. Their chances of what they have being any more than physical is dead. It was just sex. Each leaves regretting being so open with the other, and that little bit more lonely.
