LOS ANGELES—The Toronto International Porn Festival (formerly the Feminist Porn Awards) has such exotic award categories as Smutty School Teacher Award for Sex Education and Golden Beaver Award for Canadian Content—but Grooby’s All My Mother’s Lovers, directed by Mona Wales and Arabelle Raphael, took home the coveted Most Tantalizing Trans Film Award at the Festival this past weekend. (The full list of winners can be found here.)
“We really love Mona’s work and were excited to see her and Arabelle sharing directorial duties for All My Mother’s Lovers,” said Steven Grooby. “As a fan of cinema and, in particular, their inspiration—Stealing Beauty with Liv Tyler—I think they assembled the perfect cast to capture the romanticism of the original movie. This is a really groundbreaking addition to our genre.”
“Mona and Arabelle were both kind enough to speak about filming All My Mother’s Lovers at a workshop I co-facilitated on destigmatizing porn at Kink back in March,” added Grooby’s Marketing and Editorial Director Kristel Penn. “They eloquently discussed the importance of authenticity and diversity in narratives in trans porn and worked diligently to make sure those ideas were translated on-screen.”
The sensual “cumming-of-age” story follows young Freya Wynn as she follows her mother’s (Delia Delions) footsteps to the front door of a lesbian commune and into the arms of her mother’s beautiful lovers (Mona Wales, Arabelle Raphael, Mandy Mitchell, and Bianca Stone).
