Travis Mathews has been getting a fair amount of attention for his movie I Want Your Love and his collaboration with James Franco, Interior Leather Bar. However for several years he’s been making In Their Room shorts.
He started off with In Their Room: San Francisco in 2009, which was initially just going to be a series of interviews with gay people in their bedrooms talking about their live, but as the project continued it took on a more intimate, sexual dimension. That was followed by 2011’s In Their Room: Berlin, which looked at the gay experience amongst a group of German guys, and most recently In Their Room: London (which Mathews shot while in the UK for a film festival).
While they’ve screened at fests and few of the segments have shown up online, due to their mix of documentary and explicit sexuality it’s been difficult to get them proper distribution. However now porn company NakedSword has stepped forward and put In Their Room: Berlin online for free at www.iwantyourlovethemovie.com – but only until March 30th, after which it will be behind the paywall in the member’s area of the NakedSword site.
NakedSword was the company that backed Mathews I Want Your Love short and followed that up by helping the movie version get made, as no one else was interested in the way he wanted to look at a more realistic depiction of gay sexuality. What the director does is certainly not porn, but because it isn’t afraid to be erotic, it’s not always been easy for him to get backing. That is starting to change though.
If you want to take a look at the 60 minutes of In Their Room: Berlin, go watch while it’s free!
