LOS ANGELES—Director/performer Dana Vespoli further explores the frontiers of gender identity and sexual orientation in Girl/Boy 2, a rule-smashing celebration of kinky thrill seekers, cross-dressers, genderqueers and transsexuals, led by long inactive female-to-male superstar Buck Angel.
Evil Angel releases the movie June 8 via DVD and VOD, and the trailer is available now at EvilAngelVideo.com.
“This movie, like the first Girl/Boy, celebrates gender fluidity, identity, and blends genres of straight and trans,” Vespoli explained. “The series was inspired by Jiz Lee, who, in their choice to not be labeled as male or female, forces people who interact with them to really think before addressing them. It’s powerful when you don’t allow other people to define you, and you define yourself on your own terms.”
Evil Angel domestic sales manager Justin Rich reflected on the movie's germaneness to current national debates about gender identity, commenting, “Our TS material does very well—Evil Angel is known for the best on the market. But Dana’s timely new movie goes way beyond traditional transgender porn. With her creativity and appreciation of popular culture, she’s updating erotica for modern sensibilities at the exact moment that trans rights are a major national topic.”
Continued Vespoli, “We live in a time where toy stores still put kitchen sets and baby dolls and ballerina dresses in the ‘girls’ aisle, and cars, army figures and superheroes in the ‘boys’ aisle—forcing people from a young age to fit these roles. At the same time, trans performers are still relegated to ‘specialty’ markets, as though trans people are weird. I’ve moved completely away from labels, as far as the content that I own and produce. Girl/Boy 2 demonstrates this.”
On Angel's participation in Girl/Boy 2, Vespoli said, “I was honored to have Buck Angel in this movie, who is an inspiration and a phenomenal performer. His scene with Valentina Nappi was breathtaking.”
The movie also brings Vespoli back into collaboration with two-time AVN Transsexual Performer of the Year Venus Lux after the pair claimed the 2015 AVN Award for Best Transsexual Sex Scene. “I was thrilled to be reunited with Venus Lux, with whom I share a Best TS Scene award, for TS, I Love You," Vespoli said. "Her scene with Sovereign Syre is sensual and powerful.”
And Jiz Lee returns from the first Girl/Boy, this time paired with tattooed male cross-dresser Ruckus. “Jiz and Ruckus were passionate and lovely to watch,” Vespoli recalled.
Finally, Vespoli herself gets in front of the camera to pay homage to a recently departed icon of androgyny, doing so by way of an "anal performance art" exhibition opposite male performer Markus Dupree. “Of course I had an amazing time with Markus in our ode to David Bowie,” Vespoli said.
