You don’t normally think of pornographers as being philanthropists – indeed the stereotype is that they’re sleazy, greedy and out for themselves. However, Falcon Studios founder Chuck Holmes wasn’t like that, as the documentary Seed Money explore.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘Seed Money is the story of Chuck Holmes, a San Francisco pornographer turned philanthropist. Holmes helped create and shape gay identity in the years after Stonewall, and later became a major contributor to gay advocacy groups like the Human Rights Campaign and the LGBT Victory Fund. Later in life he would come to find that, while his money was welcome in philanthropic circles, he sometimes wasn’t.’
Breaking Glass Pictures should be releasing the film in the US soon. Take a look at the trailer for the doc below.

Falcon movies and magazines gave me permission to be myself, to accept and embrace my gay sexuality as a legitimate part of myself.
