Writer-Director Julian Breece makes a striking debut with THE YOUNG & EVIL, a dramatic short about a defiantly promiscuous young man who finds eros in self-destruction. Referencing the controversial 1930s novel of the same title, THE YOUNG & EVIL provides a chilling lens into how homophobia, faithlessness and longing miscolor the need for human connection.
Shot in South Central Los Angeles by veteran cinematographer Carl Bartels, THE YOUNG & EVIL presents a unique and stylish vision. Pulsing with atmosphere, the film undulates between urban grit and haunting metaphor. With Breece's protagonist as our guide, we're ushered into a labyrinthine world of shadows, where touch equals salvation.
An official program of The Brotherhood Crusade of Los Angeles (501c-3) and its arts against AIDS initiative.
Produced by Aaliyah Williams. USA(15min., 35mm)
