After Reay confided to Wirthensohn that, despite his outwardly successful life and connections in the fashion industry, he was homeless and had been living on the rooftop of a friend's building since the summer of 2008, Wirthensohn and Reay decided to make a documentary on his life.[2] The resulting documentary Homme Less premiered at the 2014 Kitzbuhel Film Festival. As a result of the publicity surrounding Homme Less, Reay abandoned his rooftop abode and began secretly living elsewhere.
