Hey friends and lovers!

In the last few months I’ve booked several great mainstream projects to shoot in 2012. One of them up first is a little indie project called “Welcome to New York”. It’s a series of intertwining short films that tell the stories of young New Yorkers and their first experiences in one of the greatest cities in the world!

My segment is the first romantic comedy sketch I’ve ever filmed! I’m ecstatic because it gives me a chance to share high energy and intensity with a fair amount of quirk. The character becomes frustrated and exasperated when he meets the love of his life but somehow forgets his name and has to go on a wild goose chase to get that important little detail without letting on that he’s dropped the ball – for fear that he’ll insult his new dream date.

The project is being put together by a group of young filmmakers just starting out. As you very well know it can be extremely difficult to prove yourself in a field like entertainment. Getting director jobs or selling your writing is nearly impossible earlier on – which is why many filmmakers and aspiring filmmakers find some way – any way – possible to get their work made.

One of the great resources today for new filmmakers is websites like Indie GoGo and Kickstarter. They allow fans and friends to help contribute by talking about the projects in social media or more importantly: showing some financial love. You’ll be hearing a lot about these two websites from me as I embark on the mainstream journey. I fully intend to fund my first short film (written, directed and starring me!) using one of these two websites. They are an invaluable resource for the modern filmmaker!

I know in today’s age it’s tough to be generous and difficult to find anything to spare. We haven’t stopped making art and entertaining people despite and I think that just goes to show the spirit and will people have to do what they love. I hope we can all see the value in that together!

Please follow the link below to get more information on Welcome to New York. We’re running out of time to raise money for this project (SIX DAYS!). I would personally appreciate it if you would consider contributing – ANYTHING HELPS!

CLICK HERE TO CHECK OUT WTNY ON INDIE GOGO!

Hopefully my little video clip there does something to help persuade you to help Your card will not be charged until the full pledged amount is raised at the end of the campaign (about a week from today’s post or more).

If a money contribution is not possible please know there is still something you can do to show your support! Please use the Indie GoGo “SHARE” buttons below the video playing on the WTNY Indie Go Go page. They help get much needed exposure for the project – who knows, even if you can’t necessarily donate cash maybe you talk about it on your Facebook Page and someone you know decides they have some to spare!

Also, be sure to check out all the great perks and prizes for contributing to the project on the Indie Go Go Page.

I’ll be back again for further news on this great new project! We’re filming in New York (duh ) in March!

Thank you for your love and support!

Your Friend & Lover,

Guys, I’ve always been pretty resistant to the whole NoH8 photo movement, feeling as though it was one big vanity project.

However, the cause does bring great awareness to civil and marriage equality: these two issues have become very hot-headed debate points in today’s society. The NoH8 movement has made great strides in bringing people of visibility and social stature to a place where they can share their stance and support for a movement centered upon equality. I finally agreed to have my NoH8 photo taken when Tim Sullivan, Director/Writer of Chillerama and “I Was A Teenage Werebear” requested personally that I come on board with him and my costar Anton Troy in doing a video meant to help integrate horror fans, queer fear lovers and denizens of the gay community on a front that would communicate our support and love for our worlds that meet at the convergent point that “I Was A Teenage Werebear” has become.

I’d like to get very much to share the message we are bringing to everyone in our video, so thank you in advanced to enbedding it to your Facebook profiles and pasting the link in to your Twitter pages.

I agreed to include myself in this video clip in the hopes that the message would ring loud and clear to any person suffering from prejudice or hate:

While we may not be there enduring it at your side, we’ve all felt like the outsiders, the minority, or even weak for our differences.  I merely want those suffering to know that each and every one of us has the right to find our way through it and discover our place of happiness and love. I grew up feeling as though my position as an outcast in my high school, and even my family, would never end. That I would never find my place in the world. I even began to think that there wasn’t a place for me – that being alone forever was inevitable and that I would never have anything special to impart upon the world. And then one day I stood up and realized only WE can fix ourselves, change our lives, and make the kind of difference that will matter on an individual level.

It doesn’t get better until we make it better for ourselves.

Guys and Dolls!

A few weeks ago (like, many at this point!) I was asked to be included in Manhunt’s 10th Anniversary Bash at The House of Blues in Boston where it all began. I was there with several other stars including porn’s perfect pup couple Austin Wilde and Anthony Romero as well as Jesse Jackman and others. The House of Blues was PACKED and you could smell the excitement in the air!

Manhunt really whipped it out for their 10th anniversary. They put a great event together and I give mad props to their promotional team for getting everything together, keeping the models in line and sober long enough to do their job to their fullest, and of course garnering a line up worth turning out for.

By the way, Jesse and his husband (is that correct? Boyfriend? Main fuck? Anyone know?) were absolutely the coolest of the entire group – not cliquish or feigning that they were better than any of the other adult stars in attendance.

You know, I’ve never really wondered why I’ve failed to make friends and family (hello! I was the black sheep, black listed boy who worked his first 2 shoots underage, that alone will get people to run screaming from me) here in the adult industry but it was this event that helped to reinforce my suspicions that most other adult stars are pretty petty and callous in the way that they treat people. When it was clear early on I was *the* outsider in this at The Manhunt Tour Finale group I just kept to myself, hung back, and tried to stay out of everyone’s way – then when it was time to work, mingle with the fans, be available for autographs and pictures, and meet people I was on-point, front and center.

You know, I realize how confusing things may appear right now with the way I am outwardly managing my career. Am I porn star or an actor? Have I stopped doing porn forever? And if that’s a decision I’ve made, why do I keep appearing as Brent Corrigan, dancing in my underwear, at these kinds of events? If I promote a more mainstream image and I’m so adamant about people knowing I run by Sean Paul Lockhart these days, why am I here promoted as Brent Corrigan for Manhunt’s 10th Anniversary and appearing with Brent Everett at Splash for New Year’s Eve?

I suppose the best way to put it is transitional.  Doing more mainstream work, working to become a screenwriter, actor and director – well, that’s a process. It doesn’t happen over night. And to be completely straight with you, the money in that arena certainly doesn’t come first. You pay your dues, put your back into it, and build working relationships and a reputation for producing quality work. All that takes time. Am I saying I’m still Brent Corrigan just for the money? Not all all. I still love doing all this work. In fact, I still love porn. I certainly still consume it on a regular basis. But I realized that what I want for my life and career is going to take many years and a shift had to begin the sooner the better.  I take appearances as Brent Corrigan because I still have an absolute blast doing these things. The fans are nice, they’re friendly, they’re even RESPECTFUL! A porn star couldn’t ask for much more than that.

Do I consider myself still a porn star? Yes. Am I still making porn? Not at the moment. Will I ever make porn again? It’s conceivable. Will I ever perform as an adult model again? Right now I’d prefer to say no. But a boy’s got a right to change his mind now, doesn’t he?!

There’s no mold, no road map, no step by step directions and ingredients list for doing what I am attempting to do these days. It’s not like I’ve looked a recipe up for baking a bundt cake online! I’m figuring it out as I go along; focused to stay true to me but also taking on suggestions and careful influence from those around me whom I trust. Some have said crazy things like I need to denounce the gay life (publicly, only!), say porn is The Devil, get married, and apologize for everything I’ve done as a kid. Yeah. Seriously. I thought that sounded crazier than only The Good Lord knows what! Aren’t you glad I didn’t take THAT advice?!

I’ve used this event and post to bring to the surface some of the questions about where my career in porn is headed and how I am still so outwardly BRENT when it’s clear SEAN is the man with the future and a new calling because it’s a great example of how life is, for me, just as varied right now as it truly appears to be. On one hand I’m bursting at the seams to let the dirty boy out and let him play with all the big dicks he can – on the other, adult Sean yearns for a different kind of career, a different kind of image and certainly a different kind of stimulation.

The truth is, I tried to get it all out of porn once. I truly did. I started and ran three companies so I could produce and direct my own porn. The first one I was utterly screwed out of  (Thanks Lee Bergeron, who conspired behind his partners’ backs with Cobra Owner Bryan Kocis!) and the second I was forced out of because my producing partner became a tyrant (thanks for becoming the very kind of person you were protecting me from, Grant Roy!).

But the truth is, it’s really no one else’s fault porn and being a producer didn’t work out for me the way I thought it should’ve. The truth is, in all of this, I’ve come to realize something so much more valuable:

While I love getting naughty with the best of ‘em,

it was never meant to define me as an individual.

That’s a pretty stellar personal revelation if you ask me. And since you’re reading my blog, I suppose you are . . .

It’s important now that I recognize some people: I want to thank Matt at Manhunt for being one of the most professional, organized and polite promoters I’ve worked with in the industry on an event like this. I’d also like to thank Manhunt for wanting to include me in their tour as well as Fleshjack for providing give aways for the events! You can check out more photos of us in at the event here: MORE PHOTOS!

AND! There is a video from the stage show starring RuPaul’s Drag Race Jessica Wild (I’m on the box second from the right in the back trying too hard) here:

Here’s another video cut by Manhunt! You can really see how much of a blast the event was just by watching:

LOVERS, LIFE IS PRETTY GOOD IN AND OUT OF PORN.

It’s nice to get out and come to learn there’s always more

to life than what our own lives at home will reveal for us.

I’m just fortunate enough these days to be

living as though I have more than one life.

Thanks for reading and I’m happy you’re here to share with!

With Love,
Sean Paul

Your Friend & Lover,
Brent Corrigan

PS. Anyone ever wonder why my pubes appear to be missing in all of my Fleshjack Promo Pics? Personally, I like hair “down there”, but that’s just me . . .

I’ve always been quite frank about my position and feelings about porn. Whether you love it or hate it, I’m of the opinion that it holds a very important place in our little corner of society. Deny it all you want but the evidence is right there: gay porn was of the first to come out in queer media.  It was first in blue movies when as consumers we didn’t have to sift through undertones and insinuations to eek out a gay subplot. It was all right there in your face! And gloriously so! Gay porn and gay adult actors were of the first ones there, on the front lines, bringing queer media and gay images to our community. They didn’t apologize for it.  Today, that may not seem like such a fantastic thing – but not too long ago doing something as commonplace as making adult films was a huge risk.

Gay porn being an integral part of our community? Of the first to get there on film? What?!

For some, it’s a tough one to swallow.

For me, I’m quite proud of it.

It means the dawn of my career in queer media began in the very genre that started it all for us homos.

That’s pretty exciting, if you don’t think about it too hard!

As a people, when I sit and think about us I can become a little frustrated. I know I’m not alone in this sentiment. We are prone to fickle behavior. We forget our not-too-distant frightful history. We don’t protect always ourselves in the ways we should. We seldom take much care in remembering our beloved brothers that have come before us.  In a sense, for too many of us queer history has almost nothing to do with the way we conduct ourselves today and the things we know.

Yet even still; I’m never more happy to call this community my home. I’ve never felt more connected to anything else in my life. Not even my own family. I think it’s safe to say: this is my home. I share it with each and every one of you.

Right now I want to share a project that I deem inexorably important to where we’ve been as a people. Especially if you’re coming here to visit my blog.

I’m an adult star. As my interests shift and my career evolves I’ll never live that down. And you know what? I can’t be happier about it. It gives me an edge. I’m dynamic in that way. I have pride in my accomplishments as an adult star. Three time Best Bottom? Dammit! That’s unprecedented!  Producing some of the most decorated and hottest selling films in the last 10 years? Of all the thousands of producers not many can boast that one. These are things that make up me, in part.  I’ve been able to start in porn, produce my porn, and move beyond it because people have come before me. Done what I do, figured out the kinks, fought the battles, changed peoples minds, begun the most difficult work of swinging tides and integrating all of what you see HERE into our world. Without people like Chuck Holmes, what I’ve managed to do in 8 years as an adult star and porn producer would not have been possible.

That’s why I’m poking you, prodding you to help me get an important documentary about Chuck Holmes made.  The project is called SeeD Money: The Chuck Holmes Story.  The man was a key element in the start of the movement. He began Falcon Studios . He used the money he made to assist the queer agenda in social and political arenas. He wasn’t just a porn producer, he was a man of the community. A man we can all learn something from. That’s the very reason why I think each and every one of us here on this blog should do our part to get this project made. It’s in our history, our culture, our way of life. No, he wasn’t Harvey Milk. BUT – he was a cornerstone of an entire industry that has had a profound influence on the way we are today. Probably far more profound than many people are willing to admit. That’s exactly why I think it’s so important.

Please, visit the Kickstarter website of Seed Money. Strongly consider giving any dollar amount. Even $1.  Not that I’m rubbing it in your noses, but I put my money where my mouth is. I donated $50. I wouldn’t ask any of you to help if I intend to kick some love and respect their way.

This project is not funded or connected to Falcon Studios outside of content.  This is important so the story remains intact for better or for worse. If you can’t donate to the project PLEASE share information, link people to the kickstarter page, and TALK about the project as much as humanly possible (Facebook! Twitter! In the coffee shop!). Sometimes just lending exposure in your way to a film can be far more valuable than sending in cash. Don’t underestimate yourself! Thank You!
