XXX Castings: Andrea Bana


Sexy, well built and popular. I thought Andrea Bana was straight. Turns out he’s bi-sexual. “Did you think I was 100% straight?”, Andrea asked me. “If I were, I wouldn’t be here! Sure I like girls best, but if the right guy comes along…” Now, that’s refreshing. All the more for an Italian jock, who isn’t embarrassed to name his ass amongst his assets and to admit to putting it to good use. “Sometimes”… Any hope to see THAT on camera?

Beginnings


How did I get started? –I’m often asked. Officially, as a Production Assistant for prolific director/producer Gino Colbert in ’92, ’93. But my introduction dates back to ’91. I was attending my 1st year as a Producing Fellow at the American Film Institute Conservatory. The sound stage on campus wasn’t available to my crew and I had to hunt for a cheap stage elsewhere: a friend of mine recommended Paul Pellettieri’s on Adams Boulevard. I paid a visit, the rental was OK, the sets oddly familiar (I soon realized I had seen them in dozens of porn vids, both quickies and classics). I didn’t know at the time that Paul was involved in the porn biz, but on the last day of our AFI shoot, I overheard him on the phone with Falcon Studios: the Mustang crew would move in that very same night, the minute we’d wrap. The Mustang crew? Would I run into them? I did… Can’t remember who the ‘stars’ were, but I haven’t forgotten the excitement and the anticipation: shook hands with production assistant Dylan Fox (a Falcon model himself, here pictured) and briefly watched his crew set things up. Paul died of AIDS in ’93 and the stage forever closed its doors. If those walls could talk… (photo @ Falconstudios)

Farewell, Giulietta Simionato

Much to everyone’s surprise, a pornographer’s life isn’t just about… porn. Our passions, fights, friends, families imbue our filmmaking no less than the boys we film. And so allow me to remember Giulietta and pay tribute to her musical genius: so many personal memories (of Simionato and Tebaldi attending every other LaScala events in my teens), so many historical, unforgettable recordings. THANK YOU for your Azucena, thank you for your Santuzza.

Jean Franko at home

Take a tour of Jean’s home in Barcelona. It doesn’t often happen that we get to know the real man behind the porn star.
But Jean keeps it real: he loves the attention and works hard to nurture it. Jean’s boyfriend (at the time) also makes a brief appearance. So do his (very loud) parrots.

On Lukas Ridgeston


So writes JC Adams about Lukas Ridgeston: “Lukas’ eyes shimmer with the warmth of the Mediterranean. I’ve met all kinds of skin stars at all levels of fame but very few possess that kind of bewitching aura. Kevin Williams had it; so did Drew Andrews. I only met Joey Stefano once, but you could feel that erotic mojo around him like a force field. You realize it’s not just beauty that makes a porn performer into a porn star, but something ineffably magnetic, an “It” factor that cements their legend”

I was lucky: I met Joey more than once. I met Kevin more than once. In fact, I worked with Joey twice. And that ‘erotic mojo’ was so strong I can’t forget about it some 16 years later. Ditto for Lukas: so magnetic, so charismatic, I inevitably turn into a shy school girl whenever I’m around him (photo © belamionline.com)
