“Love, Kills xx is a visual and psychological dive into Teddy Sinclair's dark universe, where revenge, desire and power intertwine in film noir scenes set to his music.”
Love, Kills xx is a visually intense and symbolically charged series that delves into the rawest, most unfiltered layers of Teddy Sinclair's (Natalia Kills) imagination and subconscious. Inspired by ideas, dreams, and intense thoughts arising from emotional experiences and imaginative moments, the series blends scenes with film noir aesthetics and tracks from his album Perfectionist. With more action and emotion than words, each episode explores themes of revenge, desire, power, and distrust, leading the viewer into a provocative and unsettling psychological universe.

The movie arose out of our sparetime as teenagers with fresh driver’s licenses and cobbled-together camera gear, wandering around a tired and honestly pretty grim post-industrial mill community, reinforced with after-hours access to the darkroom at the Sun Journal (where Aaron’s dad was the visuals editor), and some half-formed education in the techniques of Robert Frank, Frederick Wiseman, Dogme 95, Italian neorealism, pre-Obama Shepard Fairey, plus whatever culture pushed its way through the creaky pipes of low-bandwidth dial-up internet, or was smuggled up the actual superhighway of I-95 from Boston and eventually New York, or mailed first class via United States Postal Service from a burgeoning Netflix in those classic matte red envelopes, as valuable and rare as cash sent from China. [...] Somehow we negotiated access to a Canon XL1 3-CCD MiniDV camera and shotgun mic from the local public access station, in exchange for taping the high school graduation we didn’t participate in.

A cinematic collage about people caught between two worlds. An empathetic look at a physical journey and the melodramas of a journey that is spiritual. Nikita Pavlov emigrated from Russia to Israel because he always wanted to experience life in another country. Street protests, political activism, and his daughters first steps are captured without any chronological context, separated only by Pavlovs thoughts and ideas. A cinematic diary that attempts to piece together a hypothetical picture of the filmmakers future.
