Love Is Dead

LOVE IS DEAD is a film about what happens when a relationship turns toxic, forcing both individuals to confront their demons and what pain and anger they each hold inside from themselves.

Love is dead.

It would be a safe assumption to guess that we’ve all come to that conclusion at least once in each of our lives.

While we paint the ideal with a facade of soft dalliances and caressing hands fumbling toward buttons, the reality is often a harshly cold result with an ending so empty that people often spend years after asking themselves; “What the fuck is wrong with me?”

This film explores that dynamic in such a raw and provocative form that it truly feels voyeuristic as it pulls at the core of your belly forcing you to acknowledge the frailty and potential futility of what we perceive as love and ultimately, life. One of the lines lingers granting a feeling of desolate desertion: “You are not unique, and neither is your story.”

Jerry Smith: “LOVE IS DEAD is a film about what happens when a relationship turns toxic, forcing both individuals to confront their demons and what pain and anger they each hold inside from themselves.”

 

LOVE IS DEAD was created by the incredibly talented Jerry Smith, and features the talent of Joanna Angel as Mara, Aaron Thompson as Peter, and Ruben Pla as Michael.

I had the opportunity to speak to Jerry about this piece which is set for a trilogy, LOVE IS DEAD being the first among them.

 

 

M. Nessk: Is there anything you would like to say to your viewers about LOVE IS DEAD?

Jerry Smith: I wanted to make a film that was an emotionally brutal and unflinchingly realistic, one that puts its viewer inside of a situation and forces them to see it play out in front of them. LOVE IS DEAD is a film about what happens when a relationship turns toxic, forcing both individuals to confront their demons and what pain and anger they each hold inside from themselves.
