About the Film
Two friends - the chronically unemployed, aimless Liv and cemetery groundskeeper Alex - find themselves in an in-between, undefined space when they start sleeping together. But when they fall in love, they swap bodies, and soon find out more than they should about each other. Their budding relationship in chaos, Alex attempts to sabotage things with the other guy he finds out Liv is seeing, only to find that he’s lovely, and begins to question his own sexuality. Liv, meanwhile, horrified at the idea of being Alex and having to work, visits her wealthy mum and ends up realising her own independence. But just as things seem to be working out, external forces threaten Liv and Alex's budding relationship in macabre ways they cannot expect.

Director’s Statement
The time spent making Carnal Vessels has been the most joyful of my life. Living in
this movie with the cast and crew and the people in my life was a dream. I hope this
lightness is reflected in the finished product.
I want to take you somewhere you haven’t been before - and it’s going to be fun.
- Angus Kirby
