Mankind

Directed by Layke Anderson

A restless young man yearns to escape both love and the confines of Earth.
Mankind is an ambitious gay short film that places a relationship crisis against the vast possibility of leaving Earth altogether. Layke Anderson uses science fiction as an emotional metaphor rather than simple spectacle, contrasting one man’s need for stability with the other’s hunger for exploration. The polished visuals give the intimate conflict an unexpectedly cosmic scale.
