The new release is a collaboration between Executive Producer Favianna Rodriguez, Producer Lotus Lain and director Gordon B. The short film tells the story of a young couple who are energized by the election and determined to organize their friends and family – and porn viewers to vote.
The short adult film blends social justice, civic engagement and sexual pleasure to encourage voters – and particularly voters of color – to turn up and turn out for what many believe is one of the most important elections of our lifetime.
Featuring a diverse and inclusive selection of the adult performers with the backdrop of a soundtrack by the East L.A. band, Las Cafeteras, the film features Marina Maree and Scotty P, two young adult actors or color who are active in social and political causes.
Created by a multiracial team of collaborators, the movie aims to be sexually bold while encouraging viewers to vote.
“I was really excited to feature Marina, a Latina, because I know that the Latinx vote is so critical in this election, and I know that there’s still a lot of machismo culture that makes it challenging to talk about sex in a positive light,” Rodriguez said. “My goal was to produce a story that would disrupt the status quo in multiple ways.”
Director, Gordon B said he was thrilled to collaborate on the project with a team of mostly women of color. “Adult film to get out the vote? Of course. We bring our whole selves into the voting booth, including the parts that orgasm. There are critical sexual health issues at stake with this election. Being politically engaged could and should be a lot more like great sex, there should be respect and honest communication, we should be free to be ourselves, and it should feel fantastic.”
Producer, writer and activist, Lotus Lain agreed, saying: “It's been an honor being a part of this truly unique form of voter engagement through sexual art!” he said. “I co-wrote this as an ode to what I personally find sexy in a civically engaged man, while also adding a reference to my own personal heritage in casting Latina actress, Marina Maree, who is Mexican, and pro-dancer, Scotty P, who is Black. Voting is near and dear to my heart as I always keep in mind what our predecessors went through to get us this right. Shout outs to the ancestors!”
The film finds an welcomed home on PinkLabel.TV, where curated film collections often touch upon issues of social justice, whether implicit or explicit, in addition to featuring diverse bodies and desires and expressions of enthusiastic consent.
