September 9, 2021
a trip down a dark subculture of the gay scene, this meth-infused drama is a co-production between prpl and bloodrave.

what happens when you’re exposed to a dark underworld where sexuality and drug use go hand in hand? this sinister drama, written by roy seerden, reflects an issue all too present in the queer community: crystal meth use. the drug, also known as tina, has a destructive effect on people, as the team of filmmakers have seen from up close in the amsterdam gay scene.

the dutch film fund is supporting tina town and the next years production company prpl will be developing with bloodrave as a production partner. the first treatment written by roy is a haunting document about chemsex that pulled us into a world that’s as fascinating as it is heartbreaking. The film will be directed by david-Jan bronsgeest.
