CrashPad Releases Special Softcore Spin-off Episode

SAN FRANCISCO—Pink & White Productions announces the release of a CrashPad spin-off episode that blends queer porn sensibilities with erotic, softcore sex, Put the Needle on the Record. Inspired by 70's erotic cinema and the works of Radley Metzer, Put the Needle on the Record is as much of an audio piece as it is a visual one. "The driving force in this project is the monologue," said Shine Louise Houston, who juxtaposes the film's two musical tracks with its sexual context. "It's also about secrecy and ambiguity. There are blurred lines around what’s true and what’s not. What I’m exploring is expanding a moment in time." Slated for festival runs with both LGBT-focused and erotic film festivals beginning next month, the short film presents a scripted, unusual spin from filmmaker Shine Louise Houston's typical direction. For one, it's non-explicit. "Shooting the sex scene was different than the way we normally shoot scenes for CrashPadSeries.com, primarily because we weren't really shooting any action," Houston explained. "The only thing I wanted to capture were the reaction shots. That's mainly because we'll have narrative going over the image." Drew DeVeaux shares her challenges of performing the softcore role. "The cameras were focused mostly on my face and my facial expressions and so I was trying to communicate how great I felt through what little part of me I was able to show on camera." While the crew captured DeVeaux emotional responses, she and co-star Andre Shakti were able to do as they please below the belt, resulting in a cinematic compromise of pleasure and performance. Put the Needle on the Record is free to CrashPadSeries.com members, and is also available to rent video on demand at PinkLabel.tv. The short film stars Drew DeVeaux, Andre Shakti, Ex Libris, and Nikki Darling, with a guest cameo by Dylan Ryan.  For affiliate inquiries, contact Jiz Lee at jiz@pinkwhite.biz.
