ABOUT THE FILM

Picture
When a young man suffering from an eating disorder is pressured to eat breakfast by his boyfriend, the couple are thrust into an otherworld where their anxieties and frustrations are made horrifyingly real.

"[A] delightfully strange look at one gay man’s eating disorder... depicted through a surreal lens that calls to mind the works of David Lynch and David Cronenberg. [The] film transcends reality into something unsettling and horrific. An engaging and unnerving ten minutes."
-Randy Shulman (qtd. Metro Weekly 10/19/17)


"[BREAKFAST is] the most well-rounded and elegantly done of all the films on this issue that we’ve seen. It resonated with everyone.” 
-Namu Desai (qtd. Honeysuckle Magazine 10/13/17)


BREAKFAST, produced by Polygraphic Productions, is a queer psychological horror short film written and directed by Tyler Byrnes, featuring Alton Alburo and Tommy Bernardi. 
​
The film is competed in the festival circuit, with six awards and thirty three official selections. The film has screened in New York, Los Angeles, Toronto, Amsterdam, Chicago, Oxford, Cape Town, among other cities, and is now available online.
