Shine Louise Houston Releases 1st Volume of 'Heavenly Spire' |
SAN FRANCISCO, CA—Pink & White Productions announces the release of Shine Louise Houston's Heavenly Spire, available as video-on-demand on PinkLabel.tv, and soon to be released on HotMovies.com and GameLink.com. As a queer female filmmaker inspired by gay pornography and '70s cinema, Houston made a name for herself directing beautifully shot porn from a lesbian perspective. Her company, Pink & White Productions, prides itself on creating sexy and exciting films that reflect today’s blurred gender lines and fluid sexualities. Her work has screened globally from festivals to university/college classrooms and is hailed by scholars as a culturally significant reflection of human sexuality. With Heavenly Spire, Houston turns her eye to the men, in a personal project exploring masculine desire and sensuality, and how it manifests within different bodies. The result is a rare collection of artistic, male-focused pornography. Heavenly Spire has given Houston an outlet to explore her attraction and curiosity about masculinity. “Heavenly Spire is a personal project for me," she said. "Accepting my own masculinity has allowed me to feel okay about my desire for masculine people. Exploring it in film lets me look at male bodies the way I want to.” Accepting the award for "Honoured Website" at the Feminist Porn Awards in Toronto, Houston dedicated the project to “all feminists who love cock.” Heavenly Spire includes coupled gay scenes as well as solo scenes by straight men—a rarity. The project openly views the masculinity of diverse bodies, including trans and non-binary models. Performers intimately describe their sexual identities, bringing a range of diverse voices and male body images not often expressed in pornography. "Shine Louise Houston is one of the most influential, groundbreaking and talented queer filmmakers of this century,” stated feminist porn director Tristan Taormino. Advocating that women watch gay porn, Taormino enthusiastically took note of Heavenly Spire, commenting: “It features a group of ethnically-diverse models and couples, genuine chemistry, and Houston’s signature stunning cinematography.” Gay Fleshbot’s Bobby Calamitous wrote, “Heavenly Spire is brimming with the sort of cute queer boys you see skateboarding in your city’s downtown areas or chain-smoking cigarettes in dive bars or attending Joanna Newsom concerts.” He added, “These are the sort of alt-gays who are as wily as they are lovable.” Heavenly Spire features 11 performers in seven scenes: a solo handjob and anal butt plug scene with Vid Tuesday, a bondage, flogging, and blow job scene with Jack Hammer and Jesse Sparkles, a performative pie-fucking solo scene by Billy Castro, an intimate trans cock-sucking and finger-fucking scene between Cyd and Xavier, Ned Mayhem using a Magic Wand Vibrator on his frenulum, playing with a glass plug and Rippler silicone dildo in is ass, in the light of a projector, George Gilles and Essex in making out, nipple play, with blow jobs and mutual masturbation. James Darling and Quinn Valentine play in angel wings and feathers, and share a Feeldoe. The first volume of Heavenly Spire can be seen on PinkLabel.tv.
