My friend Tony Comstock has been at it again — filming sexy, deeply-in-love couples with high-quality documentary techniques and giving mainstream porn a good spanking in the process. For instance, “Matt and Khym’s love scene is shot entirely on film and presented in 16:9 anamophic format with Dolby sound — ideal for playback on both standard televisions and wide-screen home theater systems.” It’s no wonder I can now call him an award-winning filmmaker — and what’s great is that the ‘award-winning’ title isn’t from some nepotistic, empty-gesture, laundry-list-of-the-usual-suspects of an AVN award. Those many sets of laurel leaves are not from the “porn awards” — AVN seldom gives awards out to non-porn valley filmmakers or people making porn outside the old boys’ distribution network they cater to, so I don’t take their awards very seriously anyway. No — Comstock Films wins awards for their porn films from international film festivals. And, why not?
Definitely take a minute to check out the explicit preview that just went up of his next film Matt and Khym: Better Than Ever. My pal Thomas Roche has a great review of it on Eros Zine, snip:
“(…) Their conversation is disarming and, in that sense, seductive, and what’s more — and possibly more important, in this context — watching them fuck is plenty hot.
There’s a deceptive intimacy generated by any media production — it’s the same sort of connection one feels with the characters in any successful work of art, which is why so many of us fantasize sexually about Jennifer Anniston or Russell Crowe or Jenna Jameson. With Matt & Khym, as with Comstock’s other films, that intimacy is profoundly different from your average erotic flick. Watching it, like making it, is a revolutionary act, because the film doesn’t set out to create a fantasy; it’s the eroticism of everyday life that Matt & Khym is after, and it gets hold of it with wet, hot, cuddly abandon, and never lets go.” Link.
