Chicago, IL -- Today Titan Media released Folsom Prison. Last night Derek and I got a sneak peak with director Brian Mills and cinematographer Paul Wilde. It's a good piece of work. I'll admit, I'm biased but that is tempered by an artist's criticism of his own work. You can learn more about Folsom Prison here or purchase a copy and judge for yourself.

First impression: I'm all over this video from the box cover through the final scene and bonus features. Titan even gives me screen-writing credit along with Brain Mills and Diesel Washington. The over-all look and feel is cool, gritty and masculine. The action is hard, intense and, at times, even shocking. There is plenty of fetish-contend and brutal sexuality captured with iconic prison-fantasy imagery and classic Titan production quality.

While I had initially hoped to be cast as a prison gang leader (we'll save that idea for another feature), I took to my role as the corrupt corrections officer with ease. I got a chance to work with newest, bad boy Titanmen Exclusive Chad Manning and much of our b-reel footage adds continuity to Folsom Prison. Our shower scene at the end of the video was a lot of fun. Chad definitely knows how to take it like a man. Also taking it like a man in the finale is my boy Derek da Silva. That boy is totally amazing. Not only did he take a fairly good beat down from the other guys in the scene, but face punching (if you watch closely you can see him go out after the third punch) and a stun gun to the nuts. And, of course, there's Alex Baresi. I really enjoyed working with him; connecting with him seemed effortless. The scene with him and Vinnie D'Angelo was one of the easiest shoots I've done with Titan.

Note of Caution: Do not try this at home without the guidance of an experienced practitioner. Fisting, impact (especially advanced techniques like face punching) and electricity play are specific skill sets. There is very real risk of injury associated with these activities. While these skills can be learned fairly quickly, I cannot stress enough the importance of learning from and experienced player. Not only will it provide an opportunity for interactive understanding of risk mitigation and guided practical application but will help build strong community relationships and serve to sustain the tradition of mentoring within our community.

There is however, one risk mitigation skill you can employ without any instruction. Put a condom on if you're going to fuck and demand that your partner do the same if you're on the receiving end.
