A Minute With Actress Lana Rhoades
“I think you are a great performer when you can act, do erotica, and be a dirty gonzo star. A truly good performer can do it all. I strive every day to better myself and push myself harder. I love my job so much.”
A Minute With Director, Writer, and Actor Tarantino XXX
“Like how Hollywood works on remaking films, the take the premise/source material and they may tweak a thing here or there or completely change it. It works at times and sometimes it doesn’t, that’s how I approached it. I wanted to modernize them but also honor that incredible era that’s the whole point of calling Art Sluts my love letter to 90s porn, because if it wasn’t for 90’s porn I wouldn’t be here today.”
A Minute With Director Angie Rowntree
“As there were no interruptions, both Lance and Ava had the opportunity to talk, really connect, and explore each other’s bodies. There was a very natural flow to the sex that quite honestly I have not seen before in porn, and you can feel their tangible connection.”
A Minute With Director Kay Brandt
“I don’t believe in following any kind of predesigned structure. This five sex scene two hour… it’s time for those molds to be broken. The industry needs projects like this that are totally different and are challenging and offer something unique and special in the experience of engaging with adult movies.”
A Minute With Author Selena Kitt
“My intention was to pen a tale of real sexual awakening, with all the naivete, curiosity, demurral and slow, eventual immersion into passion and carnal abandon that came with it. “
A Minute With Director J.P.
“So to be able to have people on the edge of their seat and keep them so excited and be able to actually get that release of masturbating and then orgasming on top of being in a controlled fear, it was something that I thought we had to do.”
A Minute With Director Wakefield Poole
Wakefield Poole is one of the innovators of classic adult cinema who brought art and story into the industry and helped bring the adult film industry into the porno chic era… Prior to becoming a gay adult film auteur, Poole was a veteran of Broadway serving as both a dancer and a choreographer. After making Boys in the Sand, Poole was unable to get work on Broadway and continued making his new vision for gay adult films.
A Minute With Director John Stagliano
“Really the sophistication of adult performers today with how they do hard sex is a very interesting thing for me to work with… I have say over the years I’ve found that females seem to come up with crazier stuff than us males can come up with…”
A Minute With Writer and Producer Paul Fishbein
“The idea of sitting down and watching an adult feature film just seems antiquated to most people and the younger generation is not going to put up with sitting down through a plot to watch porn. So I do feel like we’re getting close to the end of the big feature film and that’s sort of sad to me…”
A Minute With Director Jim Tushinski
“This is in a lot of ways a documentary about history; about the history of being a gay man in America, about the history of independent filmmaking, about the history of porn.”
