Naked Fame

This fascinating documentary explores that question and more as gay superstar Colton Ford attempts to realize a lifelong dream by leaving behind the lights and cameras of adult cinema for recording sessions, demo tapes and strained vocal chords in pursuit of a singing career. Director Chris Long follows Ford and his lover Blake Harper, a fellow adult film star also looking to leave the business, as they individually and together face the rough terrain on the road to music stardom.

Naked Fame is an intelligent and captivating examination of both the music and adult film industries, capturing the emotional drama from the initial conception of the first single to its recording and release, as well as the stigma and adulation of being a popular porn star. It's a portrait that will make you change the way you look at both worlds, for better and for worse.
