Cliff Media's First LGBTQ Shoot Week

Hide
This mini-documentary follows the 2023 first annual LGBTQ+ Shoot Week of a porn production company creating spaces for queer and trans fantasies, leadership and healthy sexual expression. In an industry dominated by the male gaze and narrow definitions of beauty, Cliff Media invites all good-hearted people to join and participate in whatever ways give them authentic joy. Its content intentionally leaves in all the awkwardness and humor real life sex and features storylines about empowered female and queer sexuality. Although the documentary chronicles the earliest beginnings of a company that has since deepened its commitment to the leadership of BIPOC folks and people with disabilities, its vision remains the same: a world where people with all different bodies and identities know they are desirable and worthy of love.

It's exploring collectively.
When people get together, what's gonna happen?
Responding is the most important thing to capture.
For me, it's really important that all kinds of fucking
and all people's bodies are equally represented
in the space.
And I think that that is a really rare thing to,
like it requires a lot of intentional undoing
of the way that you would look at porn.
My name is Vanessa Cliff.
I am the CEO of Cliff Media,
which is a porn production company
that is rooted in themes of healthy non-monogamy,
joyful kink, loving community,
and empowered female and queer sexuality.
And then I'm just gonna put this.
