2024 Entry #33 04-11-24 “No Strings” is a 22 minute 2015 dramatic short film which was written and directed by Eoin Maher (“Thirst”). It’s available in the 2021 collection “The Male Gaze: Hide and Seek”.
The story follows a “no strings” hookup in London between Sean (Aaron Cini), an outgoing Irish man who is stranded with hookup Bryn (Richard Hay), an emotionally reclusive Welshman. I enjoyed most of this. There were a couple of moments that didn’t quite land but overall there were some nice surprises in here that were appreciated. It felt like time well spent, even if it wouldn’t make my top short list.
