"The feature filmmaking debut from Harry Lighton, adapted from the 2020 novel Box Hill, Pillion is the story of Colin ( The Old Guard's Harry Melling), a young man so meek & directionless that he still lives at home with his doting parents. But, one night out, he catches the eye of Ray ( Big Little Lies ' Alexander Skarsgård) a steely, sexy biker who decides to make him his new sub, immersing Colin in the world of BDSM culture."
"In a way, Pillion was also a learning opportunity for Melling & Skarsgård, who each spent some time with various members of the kink scene (many of whom were involved in the production, in front of & behind the camera) to learn what makes them tick. And, to their surprise, they met a ton of incredible kind, accommodating people, who were just as happy to chat about what TV shows they were watching as they were about what [REDACTED] they like to stick into what [REDACTED]."
Pillion centers on Colin, a directionless young man who is drawn into a BDSM relationship with Ray, a steely biker, after a chance encounter. The film balances explicit sexual moments with emotional warmth, humor, and a theme of embracing desire without shame. The project marks Harry Lighton's feature debut and adapts the 2020 novel Box Hill. Lead actors Harry Melling and Alexander Skarsgård engaged directly with kink community members, many of whom participated in the production. Production anecdotes include behind-the-scenes challenges, such as a difficult canine co-star soothed only by bacon.
