The Auteur

[September 24th, 2008]

The inspiration: What happens when the world’s greatest hardcore porn director comes to Portland to receive a lifetime achievement award? Cum shots and comedy, of course. Directed by James Westby (Film Geek) and shot locally, The Auteur and its “bunch of degenerates” were well-received at the movie’s premiere at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival. Here, director Westby and two of his stars–Viva Las Vegas and Malice–re-create the tony tone of the film with sheer high-end lingerie and Euro-cut men’s tailoring.
Release date: Portland premiere Dec. 5 at Cinema 21.
