Gay Smut Capital: When Porn Went Hardcore

With less than a week left to raise the funds to finance our ‘Smut Capital’ documentary, I thought I’d release a longer clip. I hate to sound like NPR during funding drive, but once we finish this, we’ll be able to move on to posting even juicier stuff — interviews with Jim Bentley, Kevin Williams, Tom Chase, Aiden Shaw, Kris Lord and others.

So far, we’ve kept the film’s integrity — if we want to tell this story, and the larger gay story of Chuck Holmes, we feel we need to do it independently. But this takes money, and we’re running dry. I used to hate to beg, but then I got a credit card statement. I know it’s a recession, but if you’ve got a few bucks, we’ll make it worth your while.
