Upper Left Arm: My Boyfriends Unreal
My Boyfriend’s Unreal is the first film project for Melbourne fashion label Upper Left Arm, released as part of the No Home project in Melbourne in March 2011.
While No Home encouraged the collaboration between local designers and film makers, Upper Left Arm’s charming short saw local designers Jac Eddy and Kasia Tons jump into the directors chairs to produce the fashion film on their own. The result, a playful and endearing depiction of a teenage love story, inspired by the imagination and lust of youth.
Exploring the theme of awkward adolescence from the label’s debut clothing range for Autumn/ Winter 2011, ‘Wag it’, the film captures the naive and funny moments of teenage lust both real and/or imagined. Harmony Byrne captures the adolescent inspiration of ULA’s designs brilliantly through her role as the romantic juvenile lead, her cheerful grin and spirited air resonating with the youthful attire.
Eddy and Tons demonstrate their raw aesthetic style through the filming, colourful make-up and accessories which melds perfectly with the backdrop of beautiful music by Brunswick musicians Oscar + Martin. This quirky story about a girl and almost a boy certainly gives context to the label’s signature designs.
Directors: Jac Eddy and Kasia Tons
Producers: Jac Eddy and Kasia Tons
Cast: Harmony Byrne and Lachlan Beggs
Music: Oscar + Martin (represented by two bright lakes)
