QUEER ALL ABOUT IT -HIV: 30+ YEARS OF CHANGE
DRAW FOUR Written by Lorna Rose Treen
‘Draw Four’ by Lorna Rose Treen, is the first of our 4 new commissions under our ‘Queer All About It’ series. Following on from our work with our 2020 tour of My Night with Reg, this film explores how the attitudes
and realities of HIV have changed between the 1980’s and today, through the eyes of a bystander.

We are currently looking for script submissions for the third of our QUEER ALL ABOUT IT short film commissions – deadline Friday 14 August.
