Eat My Heart Out is a short film that blurs the lines between devotion and destruction, love and hunger. Told through a queer, horror-inspired lens, the narrative follows an intimate relationship that slowly ruptures under the weight of obsession and emotional consumption. Through visceral styling, symbolic objects, and layered sound, the film explores how affection can spill over into possession; how love, when held too tightly, begins to bruise, bite, and leave its mark. The pomegranate, ever bursting and staining, becomes a motif for desire: tender, violent, and impossible to contain. Inspired by theories of the abject, queer temporality, and the monstrous feminine, Eat My Heart Out exists in a world just slightly askew; somewhere between self and other, beauty and decay. It is a study in transformation, a love story soaked in unease, and a quiet question: how far would you go for a love that consumes?
