LAS VEGAS—From executive producers Legrand Wolf and Jason Sparks comes Below the Belt: Volume 1, written by Carnal Media CEO Wolf and directed by award-winning auteur Alter Sin.
Its first chapter, “The Breaking Point” is available now on BarebackPlus.
A HungFuckers/BarebackPlus collaboration, the movie “plunges into the volatile relationship between UFC fighters Bruno and Thiago, where repressed desire, discipline and danger collide,” a studio representative said.
The cast of Below the Belt includes Dimitri Venum and Guillaume Wayne, working with Carnal for the first time, who delivered “powerful, emotionally raw performances as Bruno and Thiago. Both brought not only their physiques but also deep vulnerability to the roles and were a joy to work with from start to finish,” the representative said.
Carnal exclusive Milo Miles “takes center stage as the smaller-framed, submissive spark who destabilizes everything. Known for his intensity and scene-stealing presence, Milo’s performance here is magnetic—equal parts vulnerable and voracious,” the representative added.
Also starring is Bastian Karim, now a Carnal All-Star and multi-awarded Performer of the Year. Karim steps into a critical role as the shadowy puppeteer who introduces Miles into the fighters’ already fragile dynamic.
“With leaked photos forcing Bruno out of the closet and Thiago’s wife shattering his double life, Below the Belt becomes a story of redemption through desire—culminating in a champagne-soaked orgy that’s as cathartic as it is carnal,” a scene description said.
“This was a story I needed to tell—one that lives at the edge of secrecy, shame and sexual awakening,” said Wolf. “Watching Alter Sin bring that vision to life with unflinching detail and intensity was a creative high point. He’s the ultimate professional and understands the language of our industry—the language of desire—in a way few ever have.”
Wolf added, “Below the Belt demanded a delicate balance—intimacy, grit and nuanced storytelling. It’s easy to make something that’s just sex. This asked more of our performers, more of our director, and more of ourselves as storytellers. We don’t shy away from calling our work smut—we just believe it’s the kind of smut that can change the world.”
Alan Breslaw, chief marketing officer at Carnal Media, agreed. “Scandal. Muscle. Forbidden lust. Below the Belt is the explosive showdown between discipline and desire, and we’re betting audiences won’t look away," Breslaw said. "With Dimitri Venum, Guillaume Wayne, superstar Bastian Karim, and Carnal’s own Milo Miles setting the screen on fire, this isn’t just porn—it’s a cinematic event.”
