REBECCA’S BOYFRIEND, 2021

Selected for Indie Cork 2021 and Dublin International Comedy Film Festival 2022

After cheating on his girlfriend, Cameron must face the fact that he’s not the good guy he thought he was. He quickly equates himself with a form of toxic masculinity and is soon wondering if he’s a genetically “bad guy”, a trait passed from father to son. The film hinges on this discussion, at a point in our society when masculinity is under the microscope. How much is he responsible for his actions? Why would he cheat if he loves his girlfriend as he does?

Rebecca’s Boyfriend is set in a rapidly evolving Dublin, where tech companies and multi-conglomerate corporations are altering societal expectations and norms. Cameron dreams of a simpler time in
Ireland, where his problems didn’t exist and where perhaps they spoke in Irish, he doesn’t really know. But if everything is changing around him, can Cameron be expected to remain the same too?
