CockyBoys Unveil Bruce LaBruce Collaboration, 'Flea Pit'

NEW YORK—CockyBoys has announced a collaboration with iconic writer and filmmaker Bruce LaBruce called Flea Pit is now playing only on CockyBoys.com.

LaBruce has built a career exploring themes of sexual and interpersonal transgression against cultural norms and he's known for frequently blending the artistic and production techniques of independent film with gay pornography not unlike CockyBoys' owner and director, Jake Jaxson.

LaBruce is director of such provocative indie films as No Skin Off My Ass (1993), Super 8 ½ (1994), Hustler White (1996), The Raspberry Reich (2004) and 2010’s L.A. Zombie starring superstar Francois Sagat. La Bruce comes to pornography with a clear sense of revolution—queer revolution. Gay pornography may be the last bastion of true, queer radicalism. 

CockyBoys debuted Flea Pit simultaneously Wednesday on their membership site CockyBoys.com and at the Guadalajara International Film Festival where Jaxson did a Q&A in front of a live studio audience of fans that was broadcast live online.

Jaxson says of working with Bruce LaBruce, "I feel like I always wanted to be Bruce LaBruce! In college, I was this sheltered white, conservative, religious Southerner growing up in the sleepy college town of Baton Rouge. And this guy was so cool and the movies he was making were so out there and audacious. At the time I was making documentaries about restaurants in New Orleans and Southern Culture—far from my current life as a pornographer.”

Jaxson goes on to say, "I have always loved Bruce's work. There was just so much about it that was irreverent and so wrong and it always stuck with me and more importantly, inspired my work and path as a director. Now almost 25 years later I am thrilled to have had the opportunity to collaborate with this unapologetic ‘cult’ filmmaker in a collection of four interconnected short films now anthologized into a single collection—Flea Pit!"

CockyBoy Levi Karter, Arad Winwin, Dato Foland, and Valentin Braun star in Flea Pit that includes a climactic theatre orgy.
