TWINK

A film by Wade Radford & Jason Impey

RETIRED. EXPIRED. NO LONGER DESIRED!

Wade Radford is NOT your average LGBT filmmaker.

His work is challenging, engaging and always controversial.

Wade, who wrote and starred in ‘Sex Lies & Depravity’ and the gritty prison drama ‘Boys Behind Bars’ is back with his finest work to date.

‘Twink’ tells the story of ‘Quinn’ a former porn star finding it hard to come to terms with his self and the industry he sees as having exploited him. It’s presented in Documentary style with ‘Quinn’ being the topic of a filmmaker’s curious interest in this former porn stars life.

‘Quinn’ appears not to be looking after himself as he tells the filmmaker how his life had descended into a living hell.

Is ‘Quinn’ his own worst enemy? It’s a question put to him in a variety of ways throughout the movie.

Whilst I won’t spoil the movie for those wanting to see it, what I will say is this, ‘Twink’ explores some of the darkest depths of human nature and the reflection we see is an ugly one. Are porn stars damaged people? Are they all this way? The film is raw and unapologetic and for that it deserves considerable merit.

Wade Radford is one of the UK’s most exciting new acting/writing talents and his natural charisma allows him to put across a portrayal of a washed up porn star, as equally disturbing as it is addictive.

If you’re aware of Wade’s previous work then ‘Twink’ will not surprise you but it will delight you, if you’re new to his work this is a great place to start.
