‘Shooting Star’ to Release Fundraising Music Video Featuring Gay Porn Stars

The musical has partnered with Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS and Pineapple Support to release a COVID-19 Relief Fundraising Medley music video on October 1st to raise funds for performers during the pandemic.

Last year, The Sword reported on Shooting Star – A Revealing New Musical and its creator Florian Klein (aka gay porn performer Hans Berlin). The production has now partnered with Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS and Pineapple Support to release a music video featuring stars from the new musical’s NYC workshop and Los Angeles production along with cameos from stars of RuPaul’s Drag Race and the adult film industry. The stars have come together to perform selections from the new musical while aiming to raise funds to support performers of all kinds affected by the pandemic. The full video will premiere on YouTube at 8:15 p.m. Eastern on Thursday, October 1st. Check out the trailer…

The project features many well-known “Essensual Workers” from the industry, including Adam Ramzi, Brian Bonds, Luca D’Amore, Jay Alexander, Scott DeMarco, Jason Derek, Jason Domino, Element Eclipse, Ian Frost, Duncan Black, Jackson Hood, Nick Milani, Antonio Biaggi and Leya Tanit.

The music video features a medley of selections from the musical, including “Party Like a Porn Star.” Klein notes that each number was selected due to its strong connection to the feelings everyone is experiencing during the pandemic. The medley features cast members from Los Angeles and New York City, along with friends of the production including award-winning NakedSword director mr. Pam, Jensen Clifford, Chris Crisco, Honey Davenport, Coco Peru, Alexa Poller, Misha Riley and Alaska Thunderf.

Shooting Star features a book by Klein, music by Thomas Zaufke and lyrics by Eric Ransom. A musical love story set in the world of gay porn, Shooting Star is Berlin’s semi-autobiographical tale and offers a sincere look at the human side of the industry. It was nominated for two Ovation Awards by the LA Stage Alliance.

“I am so delighted to offer this very special sneak peek of Shooting Star while also shining a light on the hardships this pandemic has caused for actors—of all kinds,” said Klein. “Whether or not they perform in clothes or out, all performers are experiencing financial difficulties right now with the stages of Broadway dark and film sets closed.” The producer encourages people to donate to BCEFA or Pineapple Support.

      1. He’s in the music video, but it seems he’s been having a real rough time. He seems depressed and has gained a lot of weight, last time I saw a peek at his living situation and it looked very bad basically homeless.

        1. “…peek at his living situation…?” Sounds like you actually know him? Last time he was interviewed here he is supposed to be living in Los Angeles and claimed to be a psychotherapist, having a MA degree. Frankly, I find it disturbing that he thinks he can be a therapist and potential clients can watch him while in a session looking at his actual asshole with cum coming out of his butt and mouth from their cell phone! But then again, we have a sexual predator as president. Arrogant and sad to say the least!
