““I picked the guys and I picked the clothes. Cut their hair, pluck their eyebrows, shaved ’em. Scrubbed their feet and bleached them so they had nice, white feet. Tan them up and oil them down…”” – John Summers
So, I don’t mean to reduce an excellent, well-researched, and fascinating article into one silly quote – but maybe I just did! I had NO IDEA about John Summers, partly cuz other than the handful of porn directors I go to all the time, FALCON (while having a ton of good material) never seemed director-focused – BUT, mostly, seriously, it wouldn’t have occurred to me that a major player at Falcon all those years was Black.
So you must check out Kelvin Blunt‘s recent piece – John Summers: The Black Co-Founder of Falcon Studios – from the intro: “Summers was attached to movies that were polished, popular, and, in some cases, quietly influential including The Bigger The Better, Two Handfuls, Rock Hard, and Don’t Kiss Me I’m Straight.” Particularly interesting is Summers’ role in Style – so check out the article, then come back and check the clip out.
Below we got a clip, Watercolors found in Falcon’s 1982 film, Style that is mentioned in the article. Also, he mentions this documentary Seed Money: The Chuck Holmes story of – which I think I contributed a couple dollars to several years back, got a complimentary copy, and then stowed it away and never watched – insane, right??!
