James Franco sure is getting kinky in the next couple of weeks at Sundance. He appears in porn star Linda Lovelace biopic Lovelace, co-directs the gay S&M art film Interior Leather Bar and presents the documentary kink (the lack of capital letters is deliberate), about the BDSM website kink.com.
The trailer for kink has now arrives, which suggests the doc will largely be about how behing the ball gags, ropes and whips, those involved in the site are just normal folks.
Here’s the synopsis, ‘Director Christina Voros and producer James Franco pull back the curtain on the fetish empire of Kink.com, the Internets largest producer of BDSM content. In a particularly obscure corner of an industry that operates largely out of public view, Kink.coms directors and models strive for authenticity. In an enterprise often known for exploitative practices, Kink.com upholds an ironclad set of values to foster an environment that is safe, sane, and consensual. They aim to demystify the BDSM lifestyle, and to serve as an example and an educational resource for the BDSM community. In kink, we discover not only a fascinating and often misunderstood subculture, but also, in a career far from the mainstream, a group of intelligent, charismatic, and driven people who really, truly love what they do.’
