To Love A Narcissist was released digitally in North America by Freestyle Digital Media 19 May 2026. The film, which I produced for Contro Vento Films, is directed by Raffaello Degruttola and stars Lyndsey Marshal, Sule Rimi, Stephen Campbell Moore, Andrea Lowe and Ed Hayter alongside him. Sadie Frost and Ted Field are executive producers.

Thanks to the EVERYMAN CINEMA, the talented cast & crew of To Love A Narcissist and all the invited guests for a memorable London premiere Friday 8 May! We mixed, we mingled, we watched, we drank, we fell over (well, I did) and then we got up and did it all again the next day at Century Club! 

So incredibly proud of my old pal and ‘almost sibling’ Raffaello Degruttola and star Lyndsey Marshal (no superlatives exist that do her performance justice!) It’s an honour to be part of Team Contro Vento!

The film won the Jury Prize for Narrative Feature at the Socially Relevant Film Festival, New York. It was posted on YouTube in 2022 and has since been viewed over 30 million times.

To Love A Narcissist will premiere at the Ariano International Film Festival 2025! The Italian premiere will be held at the Auditorium Lina Wertmüller di Ariano Irpino at 8.30pm Aug 1. The festival rewards filmmakers who have made a significant contribution to the history of Italian and international cinema and is a huge honour for Raff, whose family come from Ariano Irpino. A red carpet event Aug 3 will pay tribute to his work and be attended by some of the film’s stars: Lyndsey Marshal, Stephen Campbell-Moore and EP Sadie Frost. GRAZIE Ariano!

Next stops London and Hong Kong!
