Junk Male

Junk Male follows Hollywood Thompson, portrayed by Max Bennett Kelly with a confidence and ease, that you wouldn't know this was his first outing as an actor.

This short film, directed by Ella Purnell, a first time director is incredible. In the same way Kelly carries the movie with a strong supporting cast, including Purnell who portrays Dee, the girlfriend of Hollywood. And Alex Mills as Clauneck Rice who is Hollywood's sleazy manager.

This is a hero's journey with a surprise ending that will leave your jaw on the floor.

The soundtrack of the film is so good. Kelly's music from his EP is used throughout the short film. In a very clever way and fits so well with the moments in this movie.

It's just a great looking film, and you can tell how much passion, creativity and hard work was put into this short film. Based on Kelly's concept. Purnell brings this world to life. Capturing some great moments throughout that compliment the soundtrack so well.

It's just a really well done. One of the movie's strengths is the comedy sprinkled throughout at times absurd and perfectly fits into Hollywood's life.

Definitely looking forward to more collaborations between Kelly and Purnell.

Junk Male is free to view on Kelly's Youtube. Definitely give this one a watch or two. It's nineteen minutes long and it goes by so quickly. This left me wanting more.

Absolutely loved this short film for so many reasons. For one, its pretty groundbreaking. Using a short film with an actual compelling plot to introduce an EP is something I personally haven't seen done before and it actually worked really well. The short itself is also legendary; especially the cinematography. Each frame was absolutely beautiful and told a story within itself, pretty sure I took about 30 screenshots. Also the characters ugh. I absolutely loved Dee's character and everyone else was also really dynamic. Overall it was just really refreshing to see something new like this done. Can't wait to see more!!

Just became a MBK fan. I was introduced to the short film by a friend today, and it didn't take me long to realize what a creative genius he is, and this short film is a testament to that. While I think it is an amazing way to introduce an EP, the film could stand by itself - it's entertaining, refreshing, and has excellent actors. Plus, I can't tell if the songs were made for the short film, or if the short film was made for the songs because they fit so perfectly. An overall great piece of art, with talented artists all around (from actors to editors). Hopefully it is not the last MBK film! Congratulations!!
