Watch: Exclusive clip from Aussie gay surf film ‘Drown’

By Attitude Magazine

Len is a lifesaving champion, a legend in his lifetime. But when the younger, faster and fitter Phil arrives at the club and saves a young boy on his first day, it seems Len is no longer on top of his game.

His confused feelings for Phil cause him to react violently and when Phil wins the annual Sydney Lifesaving competition; a competition Len has won five times previously, he finally comes face to face with a fundamental question, will he accept the truth about his identity or will he ultimately drown?

Released by Peccadillo Pictures, sexually charged Australian gay surfing flick Drown has thrilled audiences at festivals worldwide – and it’s released on DVD here in the UK on Monday.

To mark the occasion, we’ve got an exclusive clip from one of the film’s more memorable scenes: set in a locker room, the character ‘Meat’ reveals just how he got his suggestive nickname.

Be warned, the language in this one’s not safe for work:
