This excellent NOWNESS series of videos under the banner of LOVESICK  is the work of  London-based photographer Stella Asia Consonni. Originally conceived as a photographic series, this particular film places the audience between the sheets with real-life couples who invited the Italian-born filmmaker into their homes. Love Me puts the amorous portraits from Consonni’s photo series into motion and includes a dulcet bedroom-toned voiceover by Kedar Williams-Stirling (known for his role as Jackson Marchetti in Netflix’s Sex Education), who contemplates the nature of love and connection.

“Working on clips of tender intimacy was brutally painful but it also reminded me that love still exists out there,” Consonni says. With scenes of fingertips tracing lines on a torso, and hungry eyes half-shrouded in the shadow of a partner’s smile, Love Me is a deeply sensual celebration of youth and love in all its forms.

 “I wanted to capture that unique moment where only you and your partner exist and the rest of the world becomes background noise.”
