I can’t believe it — but have lovely reader N to thank (or kiss, or leg-hump) for sending me this tonight…. Okay, when I went to the Seattle amateur porn competition HUMP! last year, I saw one of the funniest porn videos I’ve ever, ever seen. But — HUMP! is all anonymous, and all videos are destroyed in front of the audience at the festival’s conclusion. But now Getting a Leg Up In Porn has surfaced!
Last year I wrote about Getting A Leg Up, saying:
It was really interesting to see such an open call for porn, by the people, for the people, under the guarantee of anonymity, and see the results. The ideas and interpretations of porn were all over the place — beautiful and arty, way too arty like a Calvin Klein commercial, scary swinger Renfaire in the tract home come fetish porn, full-on scripted shorts, animated shorts, montages of stills set to music — some of these things were shockingly well done. Like the second place winner, which blew my mind: Getting a Leg Up In Porn is a laugh-out-loud hilarious black and white homage to 16mm doumentary/short instructional/industrial films, where the female protagonist is warned about the pitfalls of a career in porn in order to be successful. It’s crazy-funny watching her practice for facials with a squirt gun and mayonnaise packets… among many other super-smart satirical scenarios based on porn’s S&P’s. (This fine film was just made available on DVD for $10 — email/PayPal barlosss@yahoo.com, and see images here and here.)
Happy happy skip skip!!!! It’s soooooo good and nerdy and adorable! It’s linked here, and embedded after the jump. I hope it’s cool with everyone involved with the film…
