Payton Collins Serial Rapist: free screening this Wednesday

Chicago, IL - As gay adult film audiences look toward films and genres that stand out and offer "something different," independent film director Toby Ross has combined traditional narrative film making with an edgy and unconventional sexuality.

"Audiences are flocking to more mainstream-like features that also happen to include sexually explicit material," commented Ross on the adult film industry.

"There's an ever increasing unity between independent gay films and soft core porn; a relationship brought on by the influx of 'pro-am' and do it yourself aesthetics in modern cinema, as well as the greater accessibility of hardcore pornography," Ross continued.

Ross' latest work, "Payton Collins: Serial Rapist", currently at the top off TLA Video's top gay bestsellers list, offers a unique approach to gay erotic film making. Its cast, composed of rugged, masculine and natural men and non-linear narrative, show Ross' desire to subvert conventions of both traditional cinema and the 'erotica' genre.

Ross labels this signature approach "Darkotica" and hopes that his progressive approach towards both storytelling and gay sexuality will find a well received home in contemporary cinema.

A free screening of "Payton Collins: Serial Rapist" will take place at Circuit Nightclub next Wednesday, May 25th at 7:30PM. Director Toby Ross and cast members from the film will be in attendance. Signed DVDs will be available for purchase at a reduced price.
