GOLDFISH is Darius's debut coming-of-age British East Asian feature film.

​

Everyone is having sex except Vinnie. But when Vinnie meets the perfect guy, it's sex that gets in the way. 

​

The film follows the journey of Vinnie, a 19-year-old on a quest to unearth his true identity as he courageously confronts the complex depths of his early teenage years, navigating a sea of anxieties and insecurities that set him apart from the crowd. Faced with the reality of being unable to forge a sexual connection with those who captivate his heart, Vinnie's soul yearns for acceptance and understanding. When Vinnie crosses paths with Ryan, they embark on a blossoming romantic relationship. Everything seems to be going well until Ryan initiates sex one night and both are thrust into a profound journey of self-discovery, challenging them to reevaluate every aspect of their relationship. In the pursuit of belonging and self-acceptance, they must learn to rewrite the rules of love.
