Queerguru first met London based queer Finnish filmmaker Mikko Mäkelä in 2017 when his first feature film MOMENT IN THE REEDS premiered at BFI Flare Film Fest in London.

Now some 7 years later his 2nd feature SEBASTIAN had its World Premiere at Sundance fast attracting both critical acclaim and distribution deals for global Theatrical Release.

Its the story of Max, an aspiring young writer in London, who begins living a double life as a sex worker in order to research his debut novel.

We caught up with Mäkelä at the Provincetown Film Festival, where the film was on our TOP MUST-SEE- LIST to learn more, and celebrate the films critical success.

The Interview was filmed by Dan Desjardins
