NSFW Releases 10th Indie Feature, ‘Midnight’, Featuring Brent Corrigan |
|
SAN FRANCISCO, CA – Today, NakedSword Film Works is proud to present their 10th indie short film released via the newly minted NSFW division of the NakedSword network. MIDNIGHT follows a string of cutting edge projects released since February, all of which are now playing exclusively on the Netflix of gay porn NakedSword.com. NakedSword Film Works was born to create and/or distribute independent gay shorts and features that combine sex with experimental independent filmmaking. The latest offering MIDNIGHT explores what happens when a gay couple decide to experiment with an open relationship. The film stars Sean Paul Lockhart AKA adult film superstar Brent Corrigan and provides a unique look into the complications of a modern day gay relationship. MIDNIGHT is the story of Shane and Aiden, an established couple who decide to experiment with an open relationship. The film highlights the unique complications that come with that decision as the audience witnesses the consequences and aftermath as Shane and Aiden’s partnership is put to the test of irreconcilable needs. MIDNIGHT was a challenging script to shoot with only 3 and a half days of production that included technically challenging dual camera live split screens and a three minute unbroken Steadicam shot that takes the viewer through the couple’s month of open experimentation. MIDNIGHT is a stylized and captivating story that will resonate with many. Writer/Director TR Wilkinson says of the film, “One of the reasons I like to tell LGBT stories is that you can look at the connections between people in relationships where gender politics is stripped out. I think that if you told this story with a straight couple you might have one of them want to have kids and the other doesn’t, because the overall idea of this piece is what happens when there’s something in a relationship that can’t be compromised that one of the people has to give in on – can they live with that or is it too much, and the relationship must end?” Sean Paul Lockhart’s magnetic screen presence and an intuitive acting style shine in MIDNIGHT as accomplished actor Anderson Goncalves brings great nuance and understanding to Aiden’s character. Their mix of performance styles really helped underline the difference between the two lead characters and bring a wonderful balance to the film. Writer/Director TR Wilkinson says, “Last year we went around the festival circuit and played to diverse audiences around the world and it was so gratifying to see people connect with the story and these characters. When NakedSword Film Works approached us to stream the film, I was so excited to think that anyone would be able to watch the film online and have that same experience. We waited for the right time to put the film out and NSFW is such an ideal place for this story and other pieces of filmmaking that might otherwise not get seen outside of festivals. What they are doing is a great thing for both filmmakers and audiences because I think there is a hunger for stories like this that try to examine our experiences in the LGBT community, and at the same time, entertain and spark thought and discussion.” President of Falcon Studio Group and the NakedSword Network, Tim Valenti says, “MIDNIGHT is such a relevant and wonderful addition to the NakedSword Film Works line up on NakedSword. The film is very entertaining and thought-provoking while still being sexy. It might be one of our most relatable NSFW releases to date. We continue to be encouraged by audience reaction to the NSFW releases, and will continue to offer these unique features and shorts on a regular basis.” ‘MIDNIGHT’ IS NOW PLAYING ONLY ON NAKEDSWORD.COM |
