Lie With Me

Synopsis

Thirty-three year old Chris Hopkins has a wife, child and works 9 to 5 in a respectable office job. Resentful of his mundane existence, he believes his son to be a burden and struggles to look at his wife with lust after 15 years under the same roof. He feels like something is missing and longs for change. Surfing adult sex sites when he should be working, he soon discovers a woman that he truly connects with. She listens to his problems, dresses like he wishes his wife would and she likes to talk dirty. How long can he hold out before fantasy and reality collide?

Lie With Me is an erotic thriller that explores the seedy world of adult sex sites and the consequences of one man's journey to find sexual fulfilment.

This 20-minute digital short film was shot on the increasingly popular Canon 5D Mk2 camera with a budget of less than £1,500.00. It is writer/director Nick Padley's debut short film and was shot entirely in West Yorkshire.
