Like It Is
Paul Oremland, director.
United Kingdom, 1998, 35mm, 90 min.

Craig is a 21 year old northern lad-about-town, making cash from illegal bare-nuckle fights. His is a hard and ugly world where survival means winning. To Craig's mates, trapped in a macho world of bravado and violence, he is "one of us" but Craig knows that he is gay-"one of them." A chance meeting outside a club leads Craig to a brief and clumsy sexual encounter with Matt, a self-assured Londoner visiting Blackpool, a liaison that irrevocably changes both their lives.
