It’s here! It’s here! Aren’t you excited?! Well, if you’re not, allow me to be excited enough for all of us! Because IT’S HERE!

Above is the official Chillerama trailer. Now, you can see why we’ve all been so proud of our little 30 minute “I Was A Teenage Werebear” short. It’s not really even technically a short at all: it’s part of an anthology film that pays homage to great horror films and director’s of yesteryear. We’ve been saying that for months now without any real imagery to illustrate what the hell it is we mean by this – and now – well, it’s here!

 If you’re in the Southern California area and you wanna see this film in it’s entirety (and me along with it) come to the premiere!

Just print out this poster (or you can save it on your mobile device and show it on entry):

Bring it with you when you attend the event.

 THE LA PREMIERE AT THE HOLLYWOOD FOREVER CEMETERY- THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 15th!

The gates open at 6 PM and the movie will begin at sundown.

BRING AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU WANT!

I’ll be there getting grossed out with the rest of ‘em! See ya then!

Your Friend & Lover,
Sean Paul Lockhart aka Brent Corrigan

There I was in my room at The Leows Hotel in Center City, Philadelphia – The City of Brotherly Love – ironing my blood red, double collared Zara button-up buck ass naked, watching Topher Grace on the TV in “Take Me Home Tonight” and practicing my acceptance speech for Qfest’s Rising Star Award. Yes, I was hammering out the wrinkles in my cotton, using an iron set to high steam mode just inches from my swinging, completely exposed most prized physical appendage.  Don’t be alarmed; I’ve done stupid things and regarded my dick with far more reckless abandon than wielding the hottest appliances within mere inches before. 

Hey, I was in a time crunch. Hence the multitasking theme of the evening. And yes, you’re right. I could’ve easily just put my tighty whities on and severely diminished the awful chances of burning my dick. Sometimes, you just wanna iron your clothes naked.

I think it’s no secret; I’m the defiant sort. I do what I want – even when I know it’s not the best decision for my person. 

It wasn’t until I slipped on my red striped socks, strapped on my new black dress shoes and stood up to recite the last bit of what I wanted to leave the audience with before the screening of “I Was A Teenage Werebear” that I realized it was best to break down then, in peace and privacy, instead of facial contorting sobs where an entire procession of people could witness. 

I find that if I let loose the emotions that are are welling up inside me on my own time, I can avoid doing it in front of people in a way that can be embarrassing. Embarrassing purely because sometimes when I get going, I don’t have much control over when I stop.  I don’t cry often at all. This is, if I had to theorize, probably why when I do begin to cry I cannot stop easily. So, as you might imagine, I do sit in my room alone, or even sit in my car alone, and just let it all flow.  I am a grown man. My father never taught me it was okay to be emotional – but he also never taught me it wasn’t. And I thank him for that.  I’ve been afforded the chance to decide for myself. Though somewhere within me I have my own hang ups about this – I realize my father’s nurture (or lackthereof) has counteracted some of my strange nature. 

So often it’s not one reason or anything in particular that set the tears streaming. It’s everything and nothing at all. 

But this particular time, tucking in my new red shirt into my underwear and buttoning my slacks, it was a line in my speech. One line. By the way, yes, when I wear slacks and button ups I have a habit of buttoning my shirts into my undergarments. The shirt stays in place better and I don’t have to keep fussing with it all night. Yes, you have my permission to use this little trick of mine for yourself. It can be our little secret. 

The line that kept choking me up? 

“If I can change MY stars, anyone can do it.” 

In so many words this was my point. Naturally, I intended it to be less obviously self-disparaging, but still the very point that was killing my heart softly. 

The support I’ve received from filmmakers and friends and much of queer cinema this last year has been more than a little overwhelming. At first I wanted to just think of it as a temporary fad. I didn’t want to believe that it was bankable, probable, fixture for me. And then when Erik Schute from TLA Releasing called me and asked me to come to Philadelphia for the first time in my life to accept an award for being the next up-and-comer to deserve recognition, I had to stop pretending. 

It’s easy to shrug off the compliments when they are coming from your director, writer, friends and the people who make the films with you. Why? Because they already see it within you and you know they see it because they choose you. It’s also easy to thank the fans with a smile and a nod when they graciously ply you with encouragement and comments outside of the realm of how great you get fucked on film. 

But when the third largest queer film festival in America, one of the most respected screening programs on the festival circuit, says you’ve got a real fucking chance at something you want – something you’ve been deathly afraid of admitting you want for too long because the moment you proclaim the truth you fear every chance and opportunity will leave without a trace – then you kinda, sorta gotta stop lying to yourself and everyone for the sake of some pathetic attempt at preserving what you think is dignity. 

Sometimes the world will only give you a hint, a glimmer of yes, and you’ve gotta just grab it. Take it for yourself. Because “yes’s” become “maybe’s” and then “no’s” too quickly. Chances aren’t open-ended. But most bottoms are.  Eew, did I just committ that to my gay porn blog?

This is not something I can do alone. I’ve always known that. Because of being well aware of such a fact, I’ve always been reluctant. When your fate is rooted too squarely in the hands of other people it’s petrifying.  

When enough people give you a chance and you can prove it’s within you to deliver: it’s emotional.

Guys!

Check out this interview conducted at the Opening Night Reception from Qfest!

It’s just a precursor to the blog entry I’ve written regarding my account of Philadelphia for the first time and accepting The Rising Star Award. Really, I’m just waiting for a good quality video from the festival of my acceptance speech (and more photos to share!).

Keep an eye on the blog here because it will all be posted any moment!

Your Friend and Lover,

When we premiered “I Was A Teenage Werebear” at The Honolulu Rainbow Film Festival we were honored with The Best Short Award! At the same time, that week I debuted on the cover of Odyssey Magazine Honolulu for the first time as Sean Paul Lockhart. Inside is a comprehensive, very revealing interview with ME and the editor of the magazine. You can also see special pictures of me on set with the other actors! This truly is a great spread.

You can get a signed copy for yourself through Ebay! I sign it alongside the director, Tim Sullivan, most known for his work in the horror genre (AND his popular role as host of VH1 Scream Queens).

But guess what? This is the first time I’ve ever signed something as Brent Corrigan AND Sean Paul Lockhart. It’s also the first time in written form I open up about my real hopes about the future and my place in the mainstream world. Who knows, maybe this is a mile-marker

Wow! What an utterly crazy last few weeks it has been! I’ve been traveling more than ever before; splitting my time between adult oriented appearances and visiting the many gay & lesbian film festivals my latest projects are screening at.

Since early May I’ve been to Honolulu for The Rainbow Film Festival, then on to Chicago where I presented Movie of the Year at The Grabby’s, I did Gay Days and 3 nights of Meet & Greets at Gay Days Orlando, finally I appeared at Play Nashville for my first ever event in Tennessee. Tomorrow I fly out to San Francisco for the screening of both Judas Kiss and I Was A Teenage Werebear.

Here are some key, up and coming screenings and Brent Corrigan events:

Judas Kiss, my feature, screens at The Victoria Theatre on Sunday June 19th at 9:00 PM. The entire main cast of “Judas Kiss” will be in attendance. Including Belgian pop sensation Timo Descamps (this is his first public screening of the film!).  Below is the trailer if you haven’t had a chance to see it yet! 

Here is one of my favorite scenes from filming the movie. I think you can see why Richard Harmon made me totally nervous. What is it with these boys? What is it with ME?! I can’t believe I just publicly admitted that. Okay, nevermind. Forget I ever mentioned it. Forget that I ever published it

Here’s the trailer for Judas Kiss if you haven’t seen it yet!

I Was A Teenage Werebear, my rock musical short, also screens at The Victoria Theatre in San Francisco. See it on Monday, June 20th in the program entitled “Zombies, Aussies, Musicals, Oh My!” at 9:30 PM.

GET YOUR TICKETS TO SEE “WEREBEARS” IN PHILLY HERE

Qfest in Philadelphia is extra special for me this year because the festival is honoring me with The Rising Star Award. The festival has presented this honor (And The Artistic Achievement Award) to such actors as Sandra Bernhard, Charles Busch, Joel Schumacher, Todd Haynes, Jane Lynch, Darryl Stephens, and Jenny Shimizu.  I am greatly humbled and extremely appreciative to be recognized as this year’s Rising Star. Read all about it here! 

If you would like to attend the presentation of this award please come to the “Short and Scary” screening for I Was A Teenage Werebear. I would be very charmed to know some friends are there to share this experience with me!

Here is a sample clip from “I Was A Teenage Werebear”:

I can’t articulate enough how blindsided I feel by all of this! When I shot Judas Kiss in August I knew we had something special. I felt like I was on the right track and I felt that for the first time in a long time I was accomplishing more stimulating goals and aspirations. Then when I was presented with the opportunity to audition for “Werebears” I was cautious. I was going through an intensely difficult time in my personal life. I begged J.T. Tepnapa (The director of Judas Kiss) take a train in to San Diego from Los Angeles immediately to help coach me through my audition tape. I didn’t have the time to go all the way to LA because I was literally in the process of moving my 1,700 square foot flat virtually alone in a 24 hour period.

J.T. and I clicked like magic on set. He’s an amazing communicator and together we managed to pull of some stellar work on Judas Kiss. I trust him. It’s because of his work with me prepping my audition for “Werebears” that I managed to secure the role! This, even after singing 45 second of “Origin of Love” sub-par (by my standards). So, when you watch my singing and I’m not the greatest, just know that I was cast for my acting ability and I was “The best man for the part”. Those are director Tim Sullivan’s words, I’m merely regurgitating them!

I had a tough time encoding the audition clip and getting it sent via the internet. When I finally worked through the kinks, I had a choice. I watched the audition tape for “Werebears” again and very nearly – seriously – didn’t send it to the producer. Then I found my testicles and discovered they were bigger than I previously remembered and said “fuck me, what have I got to lose!?” and sent the motherfucker. Tim Sullivan, the director who put his ass on the line for me, couldn’t even watch the audition tape until Brian McCulley (the producer and a key champion in bringing me onboard) gave him the okay. Somehow, I made the cut. A week later I was on the same lot they shoot “True Blood” rehearsing my part, meeting the other actors.

When we premiered the film in Honolulu in early May at The Rainbow Film Festival we were presented the award for Best Short Film of 2011!

And now, looking at becoming the next recipient of The Rising Star Award, here I sit dumbfounded. I guess this is how it really happens?  Then of course I’m also left asking, “What is really happening, afterall?”.

I’ve won all kinds of accolades for being good at having sex on camera. I’m THE unprecedented 3 time Best Bottom (GayVN two years in a row, The Grabbys in 2009). I’ve been recognized for directing/producing the Best Professional Amateur Award at The GayVN’s for my Directorial Debut. When I started my second adult company; no doubt I knew where I was going and what I wanted and how to get there. And then, my ideas about life and love shifted. My ideas about what I wanted in business and career changed.

My feelings about having sex on camera also shifted. I fell in love for the first time in my life. And my priorities changed.

Am now one of thousands retired porn stars? NO. I refuse to make that announcement. Am I on hiatus? You betcha. Am I holding out for something else in life? Fuck yeah. Why? Because when I was 17 and I started doing adult modeling I never even envisioned I could/would be where I am today. I never saw myself producing. I never saw myself making a career out of it. I figured I go into marketing. Or become an architect. Or become a waiter. Or muck horse stalls and be a broke (but HAPPY!) exercise rider on Thoroughbred Racetracks.

I never, ever imagined I would become one of the top Gay-Adult-Star-turned-actor of the day.

Today, I have a great idea of what I want. I’m just nervous about sending it out publicly because I’m fearful of how that might affect my real chances at success. Do I want to be a big A-list actor? Absolutely not. Do I want to transcend my adult roots? Absolutely yes, please.

I have always, ALWAYS felt there was more to me than porn. And all I’m asking is that the rest of you, who have followed, read, watched, invested yourselves into me – all I’m asking is to hang on for the ride. Just because I’m not shaking my hard cock in your face every time you jump on www.TheNewBrentCorrigan.com – in every blog entry - doesn’t mean I can’t find other ways of titilating you
