Filmmaking and Editing
Coming Attractions (2025)
In the days before home video killed the theatrical market for erotic cinema, movie trailers were a mainstay of the gay porno theatergoing experience. Viewed now, they provide a fascinating—and often very entertaining—look at the way these films were marketed and sold, filled with lurid taglines, false promises, personal messages from the stars, and surprisingly creative editing. This collection of original trailers has been newly preserved in 2K from rare 16mm materials and features previews for films by such auteurs as Tom DeSimone, Joe Gage, Fred Halsted, William Higgins, Wakefield Poole, Toby Ross, and Steve Scott, plus a surprise or two. And don’t forget—as one trailer notes, “It’s Rated X, so come with a grownup.”
Ask Any Buddy (2019)
A feature-length mashup film that uses fragments from 126 all-male features to explore the lives and fantasies of a generation of gay men—or at least how they looked in the movies.
