With Bridgerton returning to our screens, romance was about to get seriously steamy. But while a night with a ‘rake’ risked more than just a broken heart, we asked if it’s really so different today? With STIs on the rise, we tapped into the cultural moment to make condoms feel extra relevant, and show how protection can keep a Bridgerton-level night going from steamy to STI.

Written with my partner, and directed by me, this film brought together culturally relevant regency era raunch with an educational message to get people thinking about the risks.
