DAGGER UNVEILS NEW SHORT FILM

Last night, we attended the Berlin premiere of GHOSTS at Babylon, a deeply personal short film based on the original writing of DAGGER founder Luke Raine and directed by Felix Aaron. Rooted in Raine’s memories of growing up queer in the seaside town of Portrush, Northern Ireland, the film explores isolation, first love and the desire to be seen while simultaneously wanting to disappear. During the Q&A, Raine spoke about how emotional it was to return to the very streets where he once felt invisible, now filming there with an entire crew and suddenly being so visible. A confrontation with the very feelings that inspired the story in the first place. Following screenings in Paris and Tokyo, GHOSTS has also been picked up by NOWNESS, while DAGGER celebrates the release with 150 numbered pairs of hand-customised Vans. Congratulations to Luke, Felix and the entire team behind this beautiful project. Additionally also a special mention to the cast: the DAGGER models that turned into actors for this special project.
