Team Seeks to Crowdfund Doc on Gay Performer Fostter Riviera

CYBERSPACE—Moviemakers Thomas Krauslach and Steffen Krüger recently started a crowdfunding effort to produce a documentary that will interest fans of gay adult entertainment. Titled 21x7, the doc will follow the life of 24-year-old Sydney Fernandes for one year. Fernandes is better known as Fostter Riviera, a gay porn actor whose success is no doubt partly fueled by his dimensions, which in centimers equal 21 by 7 (for those who think in inches, that's 8.26772 by 2.75591). His credits, according to IAFD.com, includes titles for Cazzo, Kink.com, Toxic Unlimited and All Real Bareback. According to the documentarians, “Fostter stands for a life of public sex and fun, but Sydney is the guy who has to live with the consequences. Four years of unrestrained excess have not passed by without damages. While Fostter took all the applause, Sydney suffered from a lack of real care and closeness. To change that, he decides to get away from porn and Fostter. A big part of the film will focus on Sydney's approach to reconquer his ‘normal’ life.” At the heart of the movie, say Krauslach and Krüger, is the question of whether Fernandes will be able to move past the past or whether his porn persona will linger for the rest of his life. According to IMDb.com, Thomas Krauslach's prior credits include two shorts, Armadingenund and Betten-Seifert ist tot (both 2011). The 21x7 team is reaching out for publicity on this crowdfunding campaign because, as they say, “every dollar or euro will help.” More information about the project can be found at 21x7.eu/GoFund and also on the site's homepage. The movie also has a Facebook page.
