Docking (film)

Docking is a Canadian short film, directed by Trevor Anderson and released in 2019.

[1] Mostly wordless apart from a brief introductory narration by Anderson, the film metaphorically explores his fears and insecurities about dating as a gay man through the depiction of a large penis flying alone through space until meeting another penis and docking with it.

[2] Anderson worked with production designer Todd Cherniawsky and make-up artist Christien Tinsley to create the film.

[2] The score was composed by Lyle Bell, Anderson's bandmate in The Wet Secrets.

[1] Anderson has described the film as an attempt to push the boundaries of non-fiction filmmaking, by reducing the element of personal essay and increasing the element of cinematic fantasia;[2] however, he has also acknowledged that he had some difficulty convincing arts funders that the film was meant as a serious artistic statement and not just a five-minute dick joke.
