In from the Side is a captivating drama exploring an illicit affair between two partnered members of a South London gay rugby club.

During a drunken encounter, newbie Stags rugby player Mark (Alexander Lincoln) sleeps with the seasoned A-squad hottie Warren (Alexander King), whilst Warren’s boyfriend is also on the team.

What follows is a passionate concealed love affair that takes them from the locker room to the bedroom, testing the emotional resolve of both men.

This sizzling crowd-pleaser from rugby player and coach-turned-filmmaker Matt Carter and Australian co-writer/producer Adam Silver faithfully captures the jealousies, camaraderie and team spirit within a local gay rugby club.
