Orgy at the movies, featuring Arad Winwin, Dato Foland, and more

The director of such iconoclastic, provocative indie films as “No Skin Off My Ass” (1993), “Super 8 ½” (1994), “Hustler White” (1996), “The Raspberry Reich” (2004) and 2010’s “L.A. Zombie” starring gay adult megastar Francois Sagat, Bruce La Bruce comes to pornography with a clear sense of revolution — queer revolution. Gay pornography may be the last bastion of true, queer radicalism.I feel like I always wanted to be Bruce LaBruce! In college, I was this sheltered white, conservative, religious Southerner growing up in the sleepy college town of Baton Rouge. And this guy was so cool and the movies he was making were so out there and audacious. At the time I was making documentaries about restaurants in New Orleans and Southern Culture — far from my current life as a pornographer.When I first started watching his movies, I was just completely overwhelmed. I had not seen anything like it. It was John Waters on Adderall — it was, WHOA! This is a whole other space. At the same time I was also starting to watch Warhol early movies and it was becoming very clear that there life outside Louisiana. (Thank GOD!)I have always loved Bruce's work. There was just so much about it that was irreverent and so wrong and it always stuck with me and more importantly, inspired my work and path as a director. Now almost 25 years later I am thrilled to have had the opportunity to collaborate with this unapologetic “cult” film maker in a collection of four interconnected short films now anthologized into a single collection — Flea Pit!Enjoy!Jake Jaxson
