## Resource

Conrad and Joe check out Sebastian , the sophomore effort of Mikko Mäkelä (see previous episode on A Moment in the Reeds ) which concerns a writer, Max (Ruaridh Mollica), who uses his sex work as fodder for his "fiction" writing. It's an intriguing concept, though the film occasionally loses focus on what it wants to explore. Plus: Conrad's displeasure at the film's end, a third act tonal shift, and debate about how self-aware the film is about what a gay film can and can't focus on.
