Speakeasy Queer Porn Film Noir Remakes Classic Adult with Femmes, FtMs, and GenderQueers

Tomorrow night (Saturday 12th) is the Premiere of Speakeasy, directed by Courtney Trouble.

It’s going to be screened at the Kick-Off Party of Good Vibrations‘ Independent Erotic Film Festival (IXFF). The event’s happening at El Rio in San Francisco, and promises to be a good time had by all.

I sometimes get nervous watching a film that I’m in on the big screen in the company of friends and co-workers. But dammit, I’m excited about seeing this film. I’m also looking forward to supporting Courtney, a dear friend of mine. Some of you may recall that she and I co-starred in In Search of the Wild Kingdom/The Wild Search. I’ve also appeared on NoFauxxx.com a bunch and have performed in a SLEW of her recent releases like Roulette and Nostalgia.

In Speakeasy, I play a HIGHLY femme version of my faggy self. Courtney asked me to pick out the dress, and we opted for hairy legs and armpits. Lorelei did my make-up and it was a transformation! It did feel a little funny hanging out with all the cast and going out to grab a bite with hella lipstick and eyelashes on… add to that my typical boyish aesthetic and when in company of so many hot trans men, FtM and Genderqueer Fags and Men, I was feeling pretty darn girly.

I’ll be curious to see how some folks receive the gender make-up of this film. For example, many performers don’t identify as lesbian and I wonder if some retailers might place their female-born bodies into a tricky categorization. Whether Men, Trans, Femme, Gay, GenderQueer (me!), or any other sexual/gender identity, I’m sure of one thing: this is one queer film.

Gender aside, I had an amazing time shooting my scene with Dallas Fivestar. It is a suspension scene and I really found the eroticism of the rope and my security in Fivestar’s hands. Absolutely incredible. It was a good learning experience about being a good sub and also shooting bondage for the camera.
