"Pillion" — Read The Screenplay By Harry Lighton
Where Love Becomes Obedience and Obedience Becomes Identity.
"Pillion" (2025), written and directed by Harry Lighton, is a fearless, intimate character study about obsession, loneliness, and the dangerous comfort of surrender. Set against the subculture of biker dominance and erotic power exchange, the screenplay strips emotional vulnerability down to the bone -- proving that the most intimate stories can also be the most unsettling.
Using minimal locations and character-driven tension, "Pillion" demonstrates how micro-budget filmmaking can deliver emotionally seismic storytelling through precision, restraint, and psychological realism.

"Pillion" is an intensely personal character study about identity, power, and the fragile architecture of belonging. Centered on a young man drawn into a structured dominance/submission relationship within a biker subculture, the screenplay explores how desire can rebuild -- and erase -- the self. Rather than sensationalize erotic dynamics, Harry Lighton writes with restraint and emotional intelligence. The story isn’t about shock; it’s about consent, control, loneliness, and the quiet human need to be claimed by something (someone) that offers clarity in a chaotic world.
