"I'll Murder you" is a film based on a poem that explores the darker nature of love and obsession. The Film interweaves a narrative of girl meets boy around the poem, and takes us to the extremities of how our desires might literally manifest themselves. With a tongue-in-cheek tone, "I'll Murder You" walks the line between our desires, fantasies and reality. The film is a collaboration between poet Francesca Beard and Filmmakers Amit Lennon and Sarah King

Tate: Remixed is a digital media collaboration between B3 Media and Tate.
