Lonesome is an Australian erotic drama film, directed by Craig Boreham and released in 2022.[1] The film centres on Casey (Josh Lavery), a young man who grew up on a ranch in rural Australia but moves to Sydney when he is rejected by his father after being outed as gay.[1]
The film's cast also includes Daniel Gabriel as Tib, a casual sexual hookup with whom Casey gradually develops a deeper emotional and romantic connection, and Ian Roberts as Pietro, an older gay man who offers Casey work as a houseboy.[1]
The film entered production in Sydney in June 2021.[2]
The film was acquired for distribution by M-Appeal, and previewed at the European Film Market.[3] It premiered in April 2022 at the Seattle International Film Festival,[4] and was screened at the Inside Out Film and Video Festival in May,[5] before having its Australian premiere at the Sydney Film Festival in June.[6]
