CockyBoys Return Triumphant from Berlin Film Festival

NEW YORK, NY — CockyBoys recently returned from Berlin, where two of its groundbreaking feature releases were chosen to screen at the  2014 Berlin Porn Film Festival. Both Fuck Yeah Levi Karter (the documentary featuring an intimate look at the CockyBoy star's life and fast rise to porn stardom before having won 'Best New Porn' star at both the 2014 Grabbys and Cybersocket awards) and Answered Prayers:The Banker (Part One of the epic five part mini-series event Answered Prayers, an allegory set against an ancient family feud and the follies of men) were screened in front of sold out audiences over the weekend of October 25. CockyBoys owner and director Jake Jaxson, along with Director of Photography RJ Sebastian and Creative Director Benny Moorecock were on hand to introduce the titles and do a Q&A with the audience after the screenings. Additionally, CockyBoy exclusives Levi Karter and Ricky Roman were also in Berlin for the festival. The day before the screenings, CockyBoys held a fan appreciation event in Berlin where dozens of members and fans attended a meet and greet with the stars and owners of the studio. Claus Matthes, Curator at the Porn Film Festival Berlin, said about CockyBoys, "The Porn Film Festival Berlin decided to present at its ninth edition CockyBoys Studio, as we here see a new approach on gay pornography by Jake Jaxson and his creative team behind the camera. Not only there is a different aesthetic concept as in most other commercial porn companies, but also it is pretty unusual in the industry to combine sex with politics as Jake Jaxson does for example in Answered Prayers: The Banker. It is also quite refreshing to see that Jaxson dares to bring back story-telling into pornography as it was common in the 'golden age of porn' in the 70s." "What also intrigued us with Jake Jaxson's CockyBoys Studio,” he continued, “is that he sees his film-making as part of the fight for equality and gay rights like he shows with his 'CockyBoys Manifesto: Gay sex is not shameful. It is a blessing like a fine wine, a great meal, or a roller coaster ride. It is part of life and should be enjoyed.' So it was a great pleasure for us to be able not only to present the work of CockyBoys Studio to our audience, but also Jake Jaxson himself, his creative crew RJ Sebastian, Cilantro Che Guevara, and Benny Morecock, and last but definitely not least, of course, the CockyBoys' Levi Karter and Ricky Roman. I had the honor to host the screenings and the questions and answers sessions afterwards and I was deeply impressed about the honest and outspoken way these guys addressed the audience. For me, it was one of the most emotional moments at the festival to watch how overwhelmed Levi and Ricky were about the warm and kind reception by the audience after Fuck Yeah Levi Karter was screened. The crowd was deeply touched by this very personal movie and they reciprocated their feelings with a long, warm, and honest applause." Claus closed by saying, "I feel very happy I got the opportunity to meet the team of CockyBoys, as they are not only fucking cute, but also just great guys! I do hope it was the beginning of a prolific collaboration in the fight for a sex-positive society, as I see sex as one of the core elements of human communication." Jaxson says of the whole experience, "I'm so happy that I attended the Berlin Porn Film Festival and got to meet the amazing people behind the festival.  Additionally, it couldn't have been more rewarding the see the audiences’ genuine emotional reactions at the screenings. I couldn't be more proud of the work we are creating and the models that I'm working with. Seeing the fans react the way that they did proves to me that we are doing exactly what we are supposed to be doing!"
