And a Kickstarter campaign. Seed Money: The Chuck Holmes Story, the feature length documentary from Michael Stabile, explores the life of Falcon Studios founder Chuck Holmes, and includes testimonials from John Waters, Chi Chi LaRue, Steven Scarborough, and Tom Chase (wow @ 2:10), among others. Donate here! Stabile’s last project, Smut Capital of America, screened at film festivals all year long and picked up multiple awards, including Best Documentary Short from New York’s LGBT film festival, Newfest.

Does the doc cover how the logo was stripped off a can of ‘air’ spray and eventually bought and paid for?
will absolutely be contributing to this when i can. come on, porn lovers! considering the state of gay porn today, we have to remember the trail blazers and get inspired.
C’mon queens! I’ve been working on this project for over two years with no pay and plenty of credit card debt. This is an important part of gay history that won’t otherwise get told. Help a brother out, it may not be gay marriage — but for many of us, this part of gay history is just as important.
You’ve got it! The history of porn doesn’t get near enough quality documentary work – it’s all polemic and talk-radio talk. Happy to help.
