From British director Christian Martin, 'Shank' and 'Cal' are two blistering indie dramas which pulsate with untamed sexuality and aggression, offering up a profound and unapologetically shocking gay double feature.

Wayne Virgo stars in both films as a handsome teenage thug so desperate to hide his gay cravings from his fellow gang members that he binges on drugs, secretive anonymous sex and acts of violence. In Shank, we follow him as his love affair with a French exchange student puts both young men in jeopardy. Cal follows up with him several years later, delving into his troubled family life and how another newfound relationship may become the key to finding love, acceptance and redemption.
