In my films human being revel in their ability to connect with one another; physically, mentally, emotionally. In my films people know what they want and get what they want. My films are idealistic, passionate, and compassionate. In short, my films are a refutation of everything that art, and especially art films have tried to teach me about love and sex. Where art is expected to be cool and detached, my films are lush; where art is expected to be coy, my films are frank; where art is expected to celebrate pain, my films celebrate pleasure.

It has to be to make these films the way I want to make them, and it means a lot to me when people give us their hard-earned money in exchange for one of our DVDs and consider it a fair trade. In my book, that's high praise. But money isn't the reason I do this. There are much easier ways to make a living that don't come with the whole social pariah thing. I do this because what I'm trying to say through these little films is very important to me, and when I read something like what Jen P wrote, I'm reassures me that it's important to other people too!

One of these days when I'm not absolutely poor, I might actually buy one of your movies and see what all the fuss is about myself. But I do like the approach you take to porn and really enjoyed hearing piece at the last Pervert's Saloon. Enjoy your day off.
