EXCLUSIVE: One of the most talked about titles debuting at this year's Edinburgh Film Festival is Lilies Not For Me, the debut film from American filmmaker Will Seefried. We can share a first clip above.
Set in 1920s England, the film follows a gay novelist and his psychiatric nurse who form an unlikely friendship through a series of doctor-prescribed "dates." Through their conversations, he tells her the story of his relationship with an old friend that spiraled out of control when they underwent a risky procedure to cure themselves of their forbidden feelings for each other.
The film stars Fionn O'Shea (Normal People), Robert Aramayo (The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power), Erin Kellyman (The Falcon and the Winter Soldier), Louis Hofmann (Dark) and Jodi Balfour (Quarry). Producers are Hannes Otto, Roelof Storm, Will Seefried, Naima Abed and Emilie Georges. Memento International is producing the film.
