HEAD-TIE

Love is beauty. Love is raw. Love is sensuality. But mostly, love is painfully real.

 

Charlie Chaplin formed United Artists at LA’s Alexandra Hotel and 100 years later Amir Levi and Alan Weintraub prove that silent films are always in style when this hotel’s inspiration became their backdrop in the short film Head-Tie. Mix in MMA and what you get just might surprise you.

Head Tie is the story of two lovers who demonstrate the highest and lowest points of a relationship within the span of a beautiful and treacherous ten-minute dance. Written by Amir Levi and Alan Weintraub, this artistic film explores the depth of human emotion.

Danny, played by Amir Levi, lets Christopher, played by Matt Poe, take control in the bedroom. Christopher is sometimes gentle, sometimes rough, and sometimes willing to give himself completely to Danny. Their need for each other and struggle to be together is a raw depiction of what love really is.
