Film Description:
Robert, a middle-aged gay man, begins a personal documentary project following his long history of failed relationships. As a professional but emotionally vulnerable individual, Robert decides to interview six of his ex-boyfriends, each of whom represents a distinct chapter in his love life. His ultimate goal is to find out why these relationships ended and to use the documentary as a means of personal growth—or so he believes. With the support of his sister Deborah, Robert prepares for the emotionally challenging task ahead. “Exit Interviews” is a highly introspective, emotionally nuanced LGBTQ+ drama that blends humor, heartbreak, and self-discovery. It uses the unique premise of a documentary format to explore universal themes of love, loss, and personal growth through a specifically queer lens.
