In this exhilarating and erotic drama, aspiring writer Max becomes a gay escort in order to conduct research for his debut novel, only to slowly find that he enjoys his alter ego more than he anticipated. As the lines start to blur between Max/Sebastian, he finds it difficult to differentiate between himself and the character he’s creating on the page. Eschewing the sensationalism or moralizing that often accompanies stories of sex work, SEBASTIAN instead offers a refreshing, sex-positive take in a film that ultimately celebrates the liberation that accompanies self-exploration.
