It is so wonderfully exciting that ARTCORE has gotten so many great things said about it so far! This film was created out of pure love and expression and is the third film in a series by Carlos Batts and I. In this series we have documented and shared our lives, photo shoots, explored our creative process, and collaboratively expressed sexuality with our peers and friends.
The first in the series was AlterEgo, then Voluptuous Life and now ARTCORE. I prefer to think of these movies as Art Films with sex in them, as opposed to a “artsy porn”.
I am very thankful for the support and comprehension of this film by others!
Queer Porn Icon Courtney Trouble (who also stars in the film) says, “this film is the evolution of hardcore pornography, drawing inspiration from both the fluidity of queer porn as well as a sinful parody on the way technology is used in pornography.”
Longtime friend and supporter Violet Blue says of the work, “Another vibrant, necessary set of voices are being represented here that are continually overlooked by mainstream sex entertainment media and anti-porn pundits alike.”
The super cute J.D. at HotMoviesForHer.com comments, “Each of the four scenes is totally different from the next, creating a multi-layered porno adventure that has me glued to the screen in anticipation of what comes next.”
Sexis magazine writes, “Carlos and April step further outside the boundaries of traditional porn and into a realm of postmodern erotic art and sensibility.”
And Art Critic Mat Gleason wrote that it is “The artsiest, edgiest pornographic movie in years” in his Huffington Post L.A. Art World Gossip blog.
