DAMON AND HUNTER makes ManNet’s 10th Annual Best 100 Videos of the Year!
Butch Harrison, Mannet’s Editor in Chief says, “Thousands of male adult titles are released each year. And, of those releases, our favorites have been pulled out of the quagmire to compile this list, The ManNet 100, selected by ManNet’s editorial team.”
Making the Mannet list caps a stellar year for Comstock Films’ first gay title.
In July 2006 DAMON AND HUNTER played to an overflow crowd and was name Best Documentary at the Melbourne Underground Film Festival in Melbourne Australia.
Two months later the film encountered controvery when it was banned by the Australian Office of Film and Literature Classification from showing a the 2006 QueerDOC Gay and Lesbian Film Festival held in September in Sydney Australia.
In October DAMON AND HUNTER: DOING IT TOGETHER drew record crowds at it’s hometown premiere at the New York CineKink Film Festival.
In November, we were invited to submit the film to the !f Istanbul/AFM International Independent Film Festival for inclusion in the in the Rainbow Film program in the 2007 edition of the festival, taking place Feb 15-25, 2007 in Istanbul, Turkey.
But my favorite part is this last bit from Brent Blue’s ManNet Review. He almost seems like he’s not sure he believes he’s seen what he’s seen, but he’s willing to give us the benifit of the doubt!:
Shot by Tony and Peggy Comstock, the scene here is revealing and trusting by Damon and Hunter in allowing the viewer into their private life. The scene is rather short and purposely unglamorous, so it’s often hard to know what really went on, but it is clear that these two men are doing something different than just fucking for the camera. There is emotion here, not faked, not acted, but truthful. It’s an alternative to porn. Not better, not worse, just a different side.
Thanks Brent, Butch, and everyone else at ManNet for naming DAMON AND HUNTER as one of the 100 best of the year!
