Love him or hate him, James Franco clearly doesn't give a shit about going the traditional route with anything he does. Despite starring in some gargantuan blockbusters aimed at children (Spider-Man & Oz), he continues to traffic in extremely adult subject matter with his documentaries.
Take his latest one, Kink, for example. Billed as a behind-the-scenes look at what goes on at Kink.com, the film turns a relatively mainstream spotlight on a decidedly non-mainstream topic.
Director Christina Voros and producer James Franco pull back the curtain on the fetish empire of Kink.com, the Internet’s largest producer of BDSM content. In a particularly obscure corner of an industry that operates largely out of public view, Kink.com’s directors and models strive for authenticity. In an enterprise often known for exploitative practices, Kink.com upholds an ironclad set of values to foster an environment that is safe, sane, and consensual. They aim to demystify the BDSM lifestyle, and to serve as an example and an educational resource for the BDSM community. In kink, we discover not only a fascinating and often misunderstood subculture, but also, in a career far from the mainstream, a group of intelligent, charismatic, and driven people who really, truly love what they do.
This is the film's second trailer. The first debuted when the film played at this past January's Sundance Film Festival, and you can check it out below. The film is set to be released in select cities on Friday.
