SAN FRANCISCO—Gay adult video-on-demand provider NakedSword on Friday will present the web premiere of acclaimed indie director Travis Mathews’ I Want Your Love. The 14-minute short, for which NakedSword served as executive producer, is described as “a one-of-its-kind project that is equal parts art film and gay porn.”
Mathews, who received critical acclaim last year for his web series “In Their Room,” takes his signature hyper-local and stringently naturalistic style one step further in I Want Your Love by unapologetically combining cinematic artistry, subtle character development and moving story with hardcore sex.
The short movie follows two friends as they playfully negotiate having sex together for the first time. The scenario is one many gay men will recognize. Mathews said he intends to explore the topic further in an upcoming feature-length version of the hardcore short.
In keeping with the independent feel of the short, several high-profile indie rock bands, including Girls and The Chromatics, lent their music and mainstream approval to the project.
“With this collaboration on an art film that doubles as gay porn, NakedSword is continuing in its tradition of presenting hot sex in fun and unprecedented new ways,” said Chief Executive Officer Tim Valenti. “It is the fourth project that NakedSword has executive-produced, after Raging Stallion’s epic military porno Grunts, the award-winning gay hardcore soap opera Wet Palms and the hardcore comedy series Dirty Tricks—another project that combined reality-style plots with hot and horny locals.”
The full 14 minutes of I Want Your Love can be viewed for free at NakedSword.com.
