Christina Voros
Producer James Franco


Director Christina Voros and producer James Franco pull back the curtain on the fetish empire of Kink.com, the Internet's largest producer of BDSM content. In a particularly obscure corner of an industry that operates largely out of public view, Kink.com's directors and models strive for authenticity. In an enterprise often known for exploitative practices, Kink.com upholds an ironclad set of values to foster an environment that is safe, sane, and consensual. They aim to demystify the BDSM lifestyle, and to serve as an example and an educational resource for the BDSM community. In kink, we discover not only a fascinating and often misunderstood subculture, but also, in a career far from the mainstream, a group of intelligent, charismatic, and driven people who really, truly love what they do.

Notes
Porn comes out of the closet· And more particularly, BDSM porn· While it's hard to know the film's creditability for sure (Director Christina Voros has an impressive filmography to her credit), this film presents a generally positive picture of the porn producer Kink·com, arguably the leading producer of BDSM porn in this niche corner of the vast porn empire· Emphasized over-and-over is the mantra of the BDSM/fetish community-"Safe, Sane, Consensual·" Extensive interviews with porn director Peter Ackworth and the studio performers (they call them "models) presents their stories (sometimes too extensively)· A good job is done with "safe" and "consensual"· Not much is said about "sane·" Nor about the business model of the industry itself· The actual performances are apparently real· While the trailer suggests an emphasis on gay BDSM, the actual film mostly emphasizes straight performances· Overall, a fine film of the mostly "interview" documentary style· Worth watching, especially for those who have an interest in BDSM·
