Charles Atlas b. 1958
Staten Island Sex Cult (1998)
This is a gay sex video made by Charles Atlas under the pseudonym 'Jack Shoot.'

Atlas on the video, from an Interview feature:

""It’s been sold at porn stores. I don’t know if you can buy it anymore. I guess I want to do everything. I was in a producer’s office and someone said, 'Let’s do a series of artists doing porn.' And I was like, 'Sign me up.' And we did. I don’t think they ever did another one."

""It was really interesting to do because, how many times in your life do you encounter something that is really fresh? Directing porn was really fresh. It was a challenge. We found a brothel in Staten Island that we shot in."

""It was nominated for the best porn comedy [at the AVN Awards]. [laughs] It was funny. It was around the time of Heaven’s Gate, the cult that thought they were going up to the spaceship behind the comet and they all committed suicide. That was how the porn ended, people disappearing and going up to the spaceship and leaving their sneakers. It was influenced by The X Files, the Heaven’s Gate cult, and Andrew Cunanan’s killing of Gianni Versace. Also I had women in it, not in the gay sex scenes, which you’re not allowed to do in gay porn."
