The Pornographer is a 1999 debut film written and directed by Doug Atchison. [1] [2] [3] It premiered at the Santa Barbara Film Festival in 1999 and won Best Feature Film at the Arizona International Film Festival, before appearing on HBO. [4]
A man's amateur erotic film wins him a contract with an adult video distribution company, where he faces a series of moral crises. [5]
Scott Weinberg of Apollo Guide wrote, "A winning little indie that sheds some fascinating light onto an industry we rarely see." Steve Rhodes of Internet Reviews gave the film a positive review: "Partly tragic, frequently funny and always touching, the film creates characters you care about even when they go astray." [6]
Variety wrote "An extremely naive philosophy informs "The Pornographer," a simplistic morality tale about a young, lonely man who attempts to realize his sexual fantasies by plunging into the corrupt world of adult video production." [1]
