Letters to the Man I Love

Directed by Brandon Clarke

A farmhand writes letters to his lover while working on a farm for a month.
Letters to the Man I Love is a beautifully understated South African gay short film about a farmhand writing to the man he loves while separated from him. Brandon Clarke uses black-and-white photography, sparse dialogue and the texture of rural life to create a melancholy atmosphere. The letters give the romance a tender, private quality that feels both immediate and distant.
