“Confessions of a late-mid-life digital exhibitionist”
Drawn from an interview with the filmmaker for The Heart of Jacks podcast, Grey Narcissus is a short, queer, pornographic documentary that explores how technology has made it possible for anyone to make their own erotic art, and how this ease of production has enabled the filmmaker himself to have a presence in erotic art at the age of 60.
