how to say i love you at night

When Paul (Chris Petrovski) shows up unannounced and refuses to leave, Benny's (Mat Vairo) hedonistic night of sex and indulgence takes a dangerous turn in this sixteen minute single take film.

Set in one New York City apartment and captured in a single take, two young men, Benny and Paul navigate the expectations of a first date, with one revealing something very significant. Dealing with notions of male on male intimacy, violence and socioeconomic differences, this film suggests that the differences among us are often first embedded first as fears.
