Sebastian, the latest film by Miko Mäkelä, delves into the complex world of a young queer writer in London who embarks on a journey of self-discovery through sex work. This thought-provoking narrative explores themes of loneliness, identity, and the blurred lines between art and life. Mäkelä, inspired by his observations of London's queer scene, crafts a non-judgmental look at sex work in the 21st century gig economy. The film challenges viewers to question the necessity of lived experience in storytelling and the commodification of both art and self.

Sebastian is in cinemas across the UK and Ireland on April 4 2025.
