"The story imagines a distant future where the few thousand surviving humans on Earth are separated into different colonies, including an all-gay colony where a toxic couple finds their 'twisted games' may put the rest of their peers in danger."
"'A product of ideating during Covid-19, I was drawn to explore the idea of life in a smaller community, much like our shrunken networks during the peak of the pandemic,' the writer-director shares with Variety."
"'My goal with this project is to thoughtfully expand the thriller genre within the queer cinema canon... I'm Gonna Kill You will arouse and petrify as it explores the destructive power of envy.'"
I'm Gonna Kill You is a queer erotic short film set in a dystopian future featuring an all-gay colony. The narrative follows a toxic couple whose dangerous games threaten their peers. Directed by Andrew Chappelle, known for his work in Hamilton and Tactful Pettiness, the film subverts sci-fi and thriller conventions while incorporating humor. Chappelle aimed to explore community dynamics shaped by the pandemic, intending to expand the thriller genre within queer cinema, focusing on themes of envy and danger.
