SAN FRANCISCO—Pink & White Productions has announced the newest addition to its fair trade video-on-demand hub, PinkLabel.tv. New porn studio Clever Girl Pictures, founded by Evie Elliot, premieres the debut film, Twitterbating, directed by Eliot. Clever Girl's tagline, "Unhurried states of arousal," reflects the company's interest in what's been described as the "slow porn" movement, which prioritizes production detail during the casting and filming process.
In Twitterbating, there is special focus on the lighting, cinematography, and in particular, performer-directed composition, according to Eliot, who explained, "We directed from the bed, calling attention to whatever we felt looked good from our viewpoint. Adding that the emphasis is on reflecting the performers' moods and experiences, Eliot "It makes filming slower, but it gives me the footage I need to create what is, I hope, the most truthful version of how all three of us relate to each other.
"We spent about five hours filming for 21 minutes of footage, but watching the film now feels like how I remember the shoot," continued Eliot. "We just allowed the process to take as much time as it needed." Eliot also recounts the experience on PinkLabel.tv.
Released in time for Feminist Porn Awards nomination and 2015 film festival lineups, Twitterbating hopes to make a strong first impression for the emerging company, whose second release is in production.
"It's a brand new venture for me and I'm really excited to explore what can be done with the medium," says Eliot.
