Director Statement

It all started as a joke between nerdy friends: what about marrying two of our favorite things — classical music and pornography? A year and a half after Take Me Like The Sea was born.
I want to put forward the idea that classical music isn't an elite art, is accessible without previous knowledge, and still enjoyable today while being centuries old.
Besides that, being queer, I am not convinced by mainstream porn, I use queer porn as a medium to show how diverse bodies, dynamics, and sexualities can be. I see it as a political movement, as entertainment, and work.
This film is a beautiful example of how we can get together and be productive in our queer communities. I hope you will enjoy it as well, and support independent queer porn.
