BOSTON—Gone, the latest adult film produced and directed by Sssh.com founder Angie Rowntree, is no ordinary porn movie. Its theme of love and loss is what motivates Rebecca Adams, the central character of Gone, and as Rebecca muses and reminisces, Rowntree notes that viewers will see flashes of private moments past she spent with her husband Todd, whose mysterious absence is the source of her angst and longing.
The plot is largely based on the true story of a Sssh.com member who shared her experiences and emotional life journey with Rowntree through a series of emails.
“At its core, Rebecca’s story is about coping with the absence of someone you love deeply, someone you’ve shared a great deal with and who is such a part of your life you almost can’t make sense of the world without them by your side,” Rowntree explained. “It’s a tough thing to depict no matter how you approach it, but especially so in the context of porn.”
Gone stars newcomers Madeline Blue and Gee Richards, who are a soon-to-be-married couple in real life, a fact which goes a long way in explaining their on-screen chemistry.
“I felt I could understand the emotional range of what Rebecca was going through,” Blue said. “This was porn that had authenticity, complete character and story development, and I felt this was the perfect fit for me.”
Of course, as an adult film, Gone couldn’t be a success if it weren’t also hot, sexually speaking, though according to Rowntree, that intimate component is quite different from what can be seen in most porn.
Released on September 25, 2015, Gone is currently available at Sssh.com and select VOD platforms worldwide. It has been released in three versions: Explicit, Erotic and Broadcast. Special features include full movie commentary and other extras, as well as a Q&A session with Madeline and Gee, hosted by Angie Rowntree.
