Out Takes Extra: Addison Heimann for ‘Touch Me’

The Melbourne International Film Festival not only allows us to explore over 250 films during its run but we also get to meet some of the people behind them who have travelled from around the world to come to Australia to present their films to local audiences. One of these special guests in 2025 was Addison Heimann, a California based queer filmmaker who was down under at MIFF this August to promote his latest film ‘Touch Me’ which is described as an erotic extraterrestrial horror-comedy with a kaleidoscopically camp aesthetic inspired by 1960s and 70s Japanese horror. However, amid the gory mayhem, he also explores big themes like trauma, mental health, co-dependency and addiction. We caught up just after he’d landed from LA and had a great conversation about the film, his creative inspirations, mental health and more so please enjoy this Out Takes Extra with writer/director Addison Heimann.
