Pornography (2010) directed by David Kittredge

[reviews_and_ramblings]

Director: David Kittredge

Writer: David Kittredge (writer)

Release Date: 21 June 2009 (The San Francisco LGBT Film Festival, USA)

Genre: Mystery

Plot: This intriguing thriller weaves together three different but curiously related stories centering on the mysterious disappearance of quintessential boy-next-door porn star Mark Anton.

Gay porn star Mark Anton (Jared Grey) goes missing, setting into motion a story that shifts from his perspective to that of Brooklyn journalist Michael Castigan (Matthew Montgomery) and Los Angeles actor Matt Stevens (Pete Scherer), who are piecing together the story of Mark's life. As they get deeper into their investigations, strange things begin to happen to them and around them. David Kittredge writes and directs this surreal thriller.

This millennium's answer to TWIN PEAKS --SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER

Crazily ambitious debut thriller... intelligent and well-acted... marks Kittredge as filmmaker with a strong mind and a gift for drawing full-bodied performances from his actors. --LA WEEKLY

The movie keeps the viewer guessing as to what is real and what is in the mind. If you're looking for a gay David Lynch-styled film, this is it. --WASHINGTON BLADE

Without doubt a well acted movie, more an horror than a thriller, all three stories are well plotted. Even if an indie production, the quality of it is very high, for once setting, sound and acting, all was up to an higher level than usual. I also liked a lot the contraposition between the p**n industry in the east and west coast, probably influenced also but the different period: Mark's experience is dark and cold, Matt instead is living in a world made of orange and red, light and music. There is also a different attitude of the two, and probably this will help the different development of their stories/life.

This one really intrigued me:)

Sincerely, it was way better than expected, meaning that I usually don't like horror/thriller, but I liked this one.

Wow! I normally avoid horror, but may have to make an exception for this one.

Also I was not sure of seeing it, but I changed my mind. And as I said, all the actor were at top performance.
