AVN Hall of Famer Clive McLean has become the latest adult personality to be introduced to the mainstream world, and by the unlikeliest of networks – American Movie Classics. A cable network best known for showing the works of Alfred Hitchcock and John Huston, will air a thirty-minute long documentary of a director of the Barely Legal series.
In The AMC Project: I Want to Be Clive McLean, independent filmmaker Peter Mattei documents the life of McLean, who has worked as photographer for Hustler since 1976, and of late has been directing scenes for the Barely Legal series.
The documentary was directed by Peter Mattei, just months after his Love in the Time of Money debuted at the Sundance Film Festival. Finding himself unemployed, Mattei attempts to break into porn by hooking up with McLean.
The documentary catches a casting call, interviews with aspiring porn stars, and a production at the McClean Ranch,
“It’s really good. They followed around him all day for a while to show people what his life was like,” said Jimmy Flynt II, who has already seen the final cut of the documentary.
No doubt at least part of Flynt’s enthusiasm for the project derives from plugs of Hustler Fantasy and Barely Legal during the documentary.
The documentary, airing at 10 p.m. Nov. 17 will be followed by another of the director’s The AMC Project: I Want to Be Karan Rojan, where the director shadows one of Bollywood’s greatest directors- Karan Rojan.
