Entertainment Reviews:

New York Times - 11/16/2001

"...[The film] moves nimbly from behind-the-scenes comedy to melodrama....Along the way there are sneaky flourishes of surreal style....These touches suggest a thoughtfulness that is also evident in the three central performances..."

Sight and Sound - 02/01/2002

"...The film does offer an interesting and knowing critique of the sex industry..."

Total Film - 03/01/2002

"...Refreshingly upfront..."

Los Angeles Times - 01/18/2002

"...A coming-of-age odyssey of notable substance and honesty....Boasting first-rate acting, writing and directing..."

Product Description:

When wide-eyed and innocent Sean McGinnis (Michael Cunio) moves to Los Angeles to make it big in the movies, he quickly finds work on the sets of gay pornography films. There he does odd jobs, among them performing as a "fluffer" for a hot porn star called Johnny Rebel (Scott Gurney.) A young man still coming to terms with his homosexuality, Sean becomes instantly smitten with Rebel, who is straight and lives with his stripper girlfriend. Even when Sean meets a gay man who shows interest in him, he remains obsessed with the self-absorbed and narcissistic Rebel. As Rebel increasingly abuses drugs and his girlfriend, Sean keeps making excuses for him. But when it becomes evident that the object of his obsession may be involved in a horrific crime, Sean must face reality--and himself.

Though set in the world of pornography, THE FLUFFER is primarily about a gay youth's quest to accept himself. Dealing sensitively with the delicate issues of self-hatred and internalized homophobia, THE FLUFFER is both touching and humorous. Appearances by legendary porn star Ron Jeremy, famed transsexual Chi Chi La Rue, and rocker Debbie Harry add to the fun.
