On the Set: Falcon Studios' <I>From Top To Bottom</I>

Falcon's movie about tops bottoming has a dream cast, some of whom are Matthew Rush, Jason Adonis, Mike Roberts, Billy Brandt, Derrick Vinyard, Tyler Marks, and Erik Rhodes. Not all of the topmen will bottom, of course — someboy's got to do the fucking — but the big news is that former Falcon exclusive Billy Brandt has returned to bottom for only the second time, and current exclusive Derrick Vinyard is putting his bum on the block for the very first time.

When I arrive at the sound stage where filming is to take place, production assistant Chris Green and Rod Barry, who is video-ing behind the scenes material for DVD extras, escort me to the makeup room where I find Derrick, sitting very still on the sofa and looking like he's in a state of shock, director Chris Steele, and performers Jason Adonis and Erik Rhodes.

After saying my hellos I ask Derrick how he's doing. "I'm a little nervous," he says, obviously meaning it. Not only is this his first on-screen bottoming, it's also the very first time the 22-year-old will have had a dick in his ass.

Steele leads me down the hall to a little room where photographer Greg Lenzman is cataloging yesterday's photos. "It was a really big day," Steele says. "Billy bottomed for Erik Rhodes. He was brilliant." I allow as to how this combination sounds hot — and the photos bear it out.

I stake out a position on the set where I can watch and take notes. Videographer John Simms and Steele discuss the opening shot and, roughly, how the scene will progress. Jason Adonis and Derrick will drive up in a top-down convertible, park, kiss, suck, rim, and fuck. As a tease, Jason, who has yet to bottom, will also get dildo'd by Derrick.

Totally charming Jason comes onto the set for his credits close-up. As Steele poses him against a wall, Jason asks, "Do you want Joey Treviani or Paris Hilton?"

We're waiting now for Derrick who is still in the makeup room. "I'd better get the cattle prod," Steele jokes.

With Derrick on the set, the scene begins with some really romantic kissing. "Cut!" says Steele. The stage's air conditioner is still on and the hum is being picked up by the microphone.

They resume and after more kissing and shirts-off nipple-nibbling, Steele asks, "Who's hard? You, Jason?" Derrick is to go down on Jason, then they'll switch. This is a really good sequence — Jason touches and handles Derrick like a lover, like he cares. It's so real.

"I could film you guys all day, you look so good together," Steele says.

"Don't," Jason quips.

More cocksucking in two different positions, then, "Am I supposed to give a rimjob?" asks Derrick, warily. "I'm not prepared to give a rimjob. I've never done it before." Everyone is amazed.

"Can you do something to make it taste good?" asks Derrick. Jason tells Derrick he takes three showers a day, then spills some mouthwash on a babywipe and swipes it over his asshole.

Word has spread. Rod Barry rushes in with a video camera and asks Derrick in a loud voice, "So, are you ready to lick some ass?" Everyone laughs. Derrick too. "Dude!" he says to Rod in mock exasperation. "Get Rod Barry out of here!" Then, "Can I practice a little bit before you film?"

This is the amazing and wonderful thing about Derrick Vinyard. There was no question in his mind that he wasn't going to rim Jason. He just didn't want to look like he didn't know what he was doing. He is a real trouper. He dives right in and has mastered rimming within seconds. Nor does he balk as Jason reaches back and pulls his head in when Steele says, "Okay, Derrick, get your face in there."

Before Derrick is to bottom, he slides a clear-glass butt-plug into Jason's ass. What a beautiful sight — Jason's incredible cheeks spread and this glass window into his hole. When it's pulled out, Jason sucks the glass dick, then kisses Derrick. Hot!

Before Derrick bottoms, he leaves the stage for final preparations. Knowing how nervous he is about this first-time experience and how extra on-set observers can add to the pressure and tension, I decide to take a powder and wait to see the result on DVD.
