“What if it was safe?
What if being gay or queer was just fucking normal?”
ANDY

On a football field, closeness is part of the game. In ANDY’s world, desire gets to stay in the picture.

SAME FIELD.
THREE STORIES.

ANDY brings Ian Roberts and Mitch Brown into a world of his own making.

Two men share a kiss on the grass of a football field, within the original photographic border.

ANDY

The artist

“This is what masculinity can look like. It’s fluid, soft and so beautiful.”

The Australian pop artist turns memories of growing up gay around rugby into a fantasy of romance, consent and belonging.

IAN ROBERTS

Rugby league

“I love being gay. Being gay has been my superpower.”

The former rugby league player brings his own sense of self, and a joyful, unambiguous yes.

MITCH BROWN

AFL

“Ultimately, it would have needed to feel like being bisexual wasn’t going to change how I was seen as a footballer or as a man.”

The former West Coast Eagles player steps onto the field as ANDY’s romantic interest.

Two men recline together in the changing room, one leaning back into the other’s arms.

05 / The song

YEAH THE BOYS.
KISS THE BOYS.

“Let’s merge ‘yeah the boys’ with ‘kiss the boys’.”Jackson Barclay · Producer

Football chants and ANDY’s intimate recordings become the rhythm itself. Cut, delayed and reshaped by Jackson Barclay, they pulse through the drums—a push and pull between the crowd and the private moment.
