Directed by adult helmsman Edward “EJ” James, and executive produced by Breaking Glass CEO Rich Wolff, Pornstar Pandemic: The Guys documents what adult entertainers do when they are not in front of the camera and in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic. The movie takes viewers into the lives of gay porn’s biggest and newest names, covering all angles of the gay porn scene from gay to bi-sexual to gay-for-pay.
“The impetus behind this documentary was the fact that audiences rarely see behind-the-scenes of what adult performers do when they are not in front of the camera,” James said. “Their lives are often more similar to the average person than many think and we wanted to explore that, especially during our current situation. We’re all in this together and it’s important to highlight that fact.”
Pornstar Pandemic: The Guys features Dante Colle, Pierce Paris, DeAngelo Jackson, as well as newcomers Elijah Wilde and Jack Loft as they live their lives quarantined and in stasis. The documentary follows the performers during their daily activities, along with their personal thoughts on the current state of the industry and their own roles in it as well as how the shutdown has affected their lives and livelihood and what’s next.
“I was curious what other industries looked like during the shutdown,” Wolff said. “One night, EJ and I were catching up, and I asked what his talent was up to while their business was more or less closed. We ultimately decided to find out.”
