starobserver.com.au:

  is an eye openingly raunchy documentary, lovingly crafted to tell the historically significant journey of Palm Drive Video.Palm Drive Video was the safe-sex porn studio that expanded the kinky horizons of so many men worldwide at the height of the HIV epidemic in the ’80s and ’90s, all thanks to the humble VHS videotape.Raw!

Uncut! Video!, directed and produced by Ryan A. White and Alex Clausen, is a deep dive into the mindset of the founders of Palm Drive Video, legendary leatherman Jack Fritscher and Mark Hemry and why they decided to start their own porn studio at a rural ranch in Sonoma County, California.

Fritscher & Hemry, who met at Harvey Milk’s birthday party in 1979 and quickly fell in love, decided to escape to Sonoma County from San Francisco as the AIDS crisis was causing increasing concern around the world.And even though you might have seen a few typically chiselled looking porn stars in their productions, including Colt Studios’ Mickey Squires and Mr America Chris Duffy, the couple made a point of regularly including rugged ‘real men’ in their casting decisions and with titles like Sodbuster, Let’s Play Doctor and Bellybucker: Tattooed Hairy Biker Bear, you can colour me intrigued!“Raw!

Palm Drive Video was created in the ’80s to help gay men explore their kinky sides in a sex-positive way and also showed how to explore kink while adhering to safe-sex practices, a way more challenging prospect in the ’80s and ‘90s than it is in 2022 and the age of PrEP.The documentarians wrote, directed and produced Raw!
