It should say ‘ no depictions of intoxicated sex.’” I thought that meant no drugs or alcohol on set, which I’m hugely in support of.

But the one violated here, the language said ‘No drunken sex.’ That’s all it said. can’t say ‘no.’ And those things I understand. It has to be consensual, and you can’t even imply that maybe it’s not consensual. Now I can’t show piss anymore - that’s a big one. “Back in 2011 I used to be able to sell piss movies. “ So, a few things: no blood, no piss,” he says. Unaware that porn studios even had limitations placed on them by outside actors, I asked Cruz about the type of restrictions typically placed on his work. So the pack house is like an orgy every day, and they can’t make their deadlines because the guys in the pack house are continuously having an orgy.”Īccording to the banks that set limitations on porn distributors, that premise was a no-go. “It’s this drug that’s so powerful that if you come into contact with it, you lose control of your decency.

Even the vice officers of the film, being followed by a reality film crew, succumb to the drug’s powerful effects. The latest sex party drug has infiltrated Las Vegas, and the city’s local law enforcement has gone undercover to bust the drug ring responsible. The film centers around a fictional designer drug: Tsunami. I wanted to do something more lighthearted and ridiculous. I wanted to do something a little bit funny. So I said, ‘Oh, I can easily do this, and I’ll do it as a comedy.’ I didn’t want a narco story that was blood and guts and murder and gore, like the reality of narcotics. “And I watched Snowfall and really liked that on FX. I’m a big fan of that on Netflix,” Cruz says. Vice, this latest film from Raging Stallion, had been initially imagined as a big-budget police-themed porn but was later molded into something more focused on vice cops. “ I’d been watching Narcos.

He currently oversees around 12 films per year for the studio, the concepts of which are straight from his head. This year marks Cruz’s 10-year anniversary as a Raging Stallion director, and he’s responsible for shooting and editing well over 100 films. By 2008 his porn-directing career had taken off, and he moved from in front of the camera to behind it. His second scene was with porn legend François Sagat (“I thought, ‘Oh my God, so I should just retire now, right?” he says) he won the Best Newcomer GayVN right out of the gate - and later Performer of the Year - and was eventually approached by Raging Stallion, for whom he was an exclusive, to become the studio’s porn star celebrity director.

A veteran of the industry, he knows a thing or two about how gay porn works, and I knew he could fill me in.įirst, some backstory on Cruz: He didn’t get into the gay porn industry until his mid-30s (later than most gay porn stars) but quickly shot up the ladder (pun not intended, but hey, let’s go with it).

What exactly does a gay porn studio - the films of which feature tatted-up beefcakes engaged in butt sex - consider “controversial”? But the one I received today, for the new Raging Stallion film Vice, was a bit different.įor starters, the press release referred to Vice as the “controversial new feature” from Raging Stallion, which definitely caught my eye. There’s nothing unusual about me receiving a press release for a new gay porn film in my work email.
