Kieran Bew (HBO’s ‘House of the Dragon’, Netflix’s ‘Warrior’) leads us on an educational, emotional, gruff and goofy adventure through the hidden world of male tears. A feast for the feels.
Over the course of 4 and a half hectic minutes – we take a look at tears from 3 different angles; biologically, sociologically and historically. We discuss how crying has swung in and out of fashion and what has informed our current consensus on this intriguing bodily function.
The project garnered numerous awards and festival selections, including Academy Award qualifying Hollyshorts & the prestigious 1.4 awards shortlist.
It was then picked up by the charity Movember, we created a 90s version tailored for them – which you can watch below.
