An early sketch of our protagonist, Mark, by queer artist @Sarcastikauli
Set in 2008; a tiny microcosm of time when MSN and MySpace were cutting-edge communication. If you wanted to hide online, you could.
Mark, 16 years old, has spent two years chatting with Tyler, 15, from Massachusetts, USA. The boy across the Atlantic has become central to Mark’s own identity, occupying his headspace.
But one night, Mark receives a message which eclipses his entire world: “This is Tyler’s mother.”
Tyler is a queer romance drama of unanswered voice messages, dreamscapes, nostalgia-dripping text chats, and original music by Shannon Pearl, This Little Bird, and Louis Young.
