FPG Entertainment is a relative newcomer to the Adult Industry with three full films released on DVD. The first, PUNKS, and the second, TOPDAWGS, have already gained positive reviews by industry critics and the studio recently picked up two nominations as GLBT Studio of the Year and for GLBT Feature Movie of the Year (TOPDAWGS) at the 2008 XBIZ Awards. Their third film, BETRAYED, releases in March of 2008. Do not let their small library fool you though, FPG has big plans in the near future and has quite a few projects currently in the works. Quality and value are the two key factors that have played into the success of this new studio. Headed by Marco Guerra and Cameron Finn, FPG brings a little bit of Hollywood moviemaking magic to each of their productions. Cameron brings a background of moviemaking skills that includes both mainstream Hollywood movies and television while Marco brings the vision and story making magic that combine to deliver a dynamic film product to the consumer. Each movie is heavily scripted with deep story lines. Themes revolve around various types of fighting such as wrestling, boxing, martial arts and more. And yes, each film features some of today’s hottest men engaged in steamy hot sex.
“We like to bring our expertise of making real movies to the adult industry. I strongly believe that most porno is boring without a story to tell. As a matter of fact, we create the story first and then we go back to add the sex into that story. Of course the sex scenes have to be hot, but they become much hotter when they fit into the overall story of the film.” This approach to film making may seem refreshing in a market that is seemingly flooded with all sex movies, but it harkens back to the early days of porn production. “We want to give the consumer a product that focuses not only on hot safe sex, but also on why the guys are engaging in that hot sex. By doing this, we help the viewer become more engaged and thus they gain a higher sense of arousal from our product” stated Marco Guerra. “All of our movies have a little edge to them as well. They all feature some type of physical interaction and/or altercation through various types of fighting such as wrestling, boxing and other types of fighting.”
I had the opportunity to work on FPG’s latest film BETRAYED as the still photographer and I can tell you that this film is not only shot well, but the cast was amazing to work with. The film stars Trey Casteel as the owner of a gym that trains up and coming wrestlers in their quest to become big names. Through a series of bad deals made with a mobster boss, Casteel’s character finds himself in danger of bankruptcy and the loss of his gym. Upon hearing the news, his wrestlers rally behind him in an effort to win a title match that will bring enough prize money to save the gym and their jobs as well. The film also stars Joe Strong as the Mob Boss’s hit man and Strong delivers a performance worthy of awards. Not only does he pull off the role of the “thug” perfectly, but he also delivers two of the most intense and erotic sex scenes by topping both Trey Casteel and Bigg Pete in two of the most erotically intense scenes in the movie. The film also features Kurt Wild, Luke Riley, Chase Stevens, Enrique and Franky Pintar (in a non-sexual role). All are equally impressive in their individual roles.
From the moment the entire cast and crew gathered for the initial production meeting, we knew that we were part of something great. The cast and crew worked 12-14 hour days to make this movie and everyone gave 110% of themselves. The film was shot at multiple locations throughout Fort Lauderdale and the models each had some heavy dialogue scenes that they performed exceptionally. There were a few challenges along the way such as the Florida rain and humidity, special effect glitches, a few bumps and bruises in the wrestling ring, but through it all everyone came together to make a film that we are all proud of. Veteran filmmaker Mr. Pam was brought on as Director of Photography and her passion and enthusiasm throughout the entire shoot was infectious and made the shoot all the more fun for the cast and crew. The film is edgy, sexy, steamy and aggressive all at the same time.
FPG Entertainment has just re-launched their website (www.fpgentertainment.com) and promises some new and exciting features such as exclusive streaming web content, model galleries, blog and more. “We are going to stay true to our brand and continue to bring masculine hot men to our fans in new and unique ways through our internet site and we will continue to focus on quality film making” stated Marco Guerra.
