Genuine Passion

That’s the headline for the very nice write up of ASHLEY AND KISHA: FINDING THE RIGHT FIT in the latest issue of Bnews, and Australian Gay and Lesbian magazine. It’s especially nice to see a write-up in Bnews, because the last time they were writing something about one of our movies, it was about the [...]
O(prah)MFG!

Photo from Violet Blue’s TinyNibbles.com Ten years ago I wanted to make a film that actually showed people enjoying sex that would be good enough that HBO would put them on the TV. Then Peggy and I actually met with the producer and the director of Real Sex and decided I didn’t care if my [...]
The Italian Job!
June 18, 2007 – 3:08 am
It wasn’t Italian GQ. It was “Affari Italliani” on the Libero.it website. Dig the lead: “If he was Iranian, he’d be sentenced to death as a corruptor of the world.” The machine translation of the rest of the article is pretty dodgy, but it seems flattering. Then the article ends with a quote from Sappho: [...]

May 16, 2007 – 5:27 pm
Violet told me about this a couple of weeks ago, and I hinted at it in our last newsletter. But I guess now that it’s posted on the TinyNibbles.com website it’s official – Comstock Films is getting the Oprah Winfrey seal of approval. Says Violet in her O Magazine article: “Comstock Films’ Xana and Dax [...]
