Bella Thorne has a new short film out, and if you want to watch it you’re going to need a Pornhub Premium account.
The singer, actor, and director wanted to make a film that featured real sex, but struggled to find a production partner until Pornhub stepped in, according to an article on Movieweb. In an interview, Thorne elaborated on her inspiration for the film:
“What inspired me to do the movie was basically thinking about this relationship between a male and a female and this fight over dominance and how this relates to our general world, besides in a sexual scenario.”
The short film debuted at the Oldenburg Film Festival in Germany in September. The trailer, below, has an almost sci-fi feel and showcases a changing power dynamic between a couple with potentially lethal consequences.
Thorne had this to say about the environment on set:
“Well, the process of shooting was quite interesting because we had real-life f**king on set, which I have never shot before… also this was my first short in general, so it was quite in interesting experience to have the first thing that I really fully directed have so much sex in it… It is quite a fun environment.”
Interesting question. There’s an unnecessary stigma and NSFW issue with Pornhub. It’s a shame that something that could appeal to a pretty wide audience isn’t being picked up by the more traditional outlets.
