Shot in early 2022, in collaboration with Goldsmiths University of London, Don’t Tell The Boys is an exploration into contemporary themes of toxic masculinity in groups of young men.

Beginning on the image of our central character, Euan (Jake Cooke), on the way home from a night out gone wrong, the film runs in a fragmented, non-linear structure which jumps back and forth between Euan’s present and the events of the night; unveiling the subsequent events which led to the state he finds himself in.
