​

An aspiring camera operator finds herself on set for a femdom porno starring pornstar/director Gillian De Rey. Her co-star is Charlie, a big-name porn actor facing disturbing allegations on social media. As they start shooting, the camerawoman and the audience become voyeurs in a morally ambiguous act of sexual violence. Provocative and erotically-charged, Kill Your Lovers is a video/play hybrid examining the ethics of what turns us on, and the complexities of the queer female gaze.
