Content

The film shows Greenfield-Sanders as he shoots portraits of thirty porn stars both clothed and naked for the book as well as presenting conversations and interviews with the performers along with authors, artists and filmmakers outside of the pornography industry. For the portraits Greenfield-Sanders uses an antique view camera as both a challenge to his photographic skills and to have negatives large enough to create oversized exhibition prints for gallery exhibitions.

The film was produced for broadcast on the HBO cable TV channel and was never released to theaters, and was therefore not rated by the Motion Picture Association of America.

Reception

A review in Houston Voice said that the film "did something that many in the past have tried and failed to do: humanize porn stars".
