15 years: part 1

It’s our 15th b-day. Part 1 of a tell-all docu is live today at LucasKazan, with a look at the beginnings: “Journey to Italy”, “The Summoner” and, of course… those wondrous boys (Derek Cameron, Jake Andrews, Davide Solari, Gianni, Michele, Bruno…)

“This beautifully photographed and edited movie is the first gay porn film to be shot in Italy”, writes the ADAM GAY VIDEO GUIDE. “The scenery is almost as gorgeous as the men. Ivan is one of the handsomest guys we’ve ever seen (…)  Derek’s scenes sizzle –he just comes on fire with a dick in his mouth or ass…”  From a technical stand point, “Journey” was also the first gay porn flick to be edited non-linearly on an Avid Media Composer (back when porn movies were cut linearly on a Betacam deck): 15 years later, sophisticated editing and color-correction softwares are within everyone’s reach –on everyone’s lap top. Ah, technology!

Flashbacks: Victor Racek

Victor is one of the few Czech models to self-identify as gay. So gay, he wanted to escape from his native Prague (the land of the gay-for-pay) and take refuge elsewhere. While in Los Angeles, this hunk wasted no time: much like a kid in a candy store, he’d visit a popular bath house every day and hit the clubs every night. “Where are the tops?”, he used to complain. Victor was voted sexiest man alive –and rightly so– by the German edition of “MEN” magazine.
