Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Wakefield Poole made this after 'Boys in the Sand' became the first gay porn film to court mainstream crossover success—he wanted to prove the genre could be art.
The 'Bijou' club set was built in Poole's own Manhattan apartment, shot over weekends with friends and lovers when they weren't at their day jobs.
