The Mums Make Porn TV series
Mums Make Porn is an international TV series that started in the UK. Now wildly popular, other countries want to make one too – and Denmark is one of the very first.
Mums Make Porn is described as:
“A bold and unique three-or four-part series which follows a handful of ordinary mums as they confront the impact of easily accessible porn on their kids and shine a light on the issues relating to young people’s attitude toward sex today. Combining focused journalism with warm and mischievous entertainment, the mums explore the world of modern pornography to produce their own short porn film.”
The idea is to encourage the mums to take a porn-positive approach to creating a more sex-positive, ethical, and arousing alternative of their own.
I was contacted by the Danish producers because they liked my work as an erotic filmmaker. They asked if I’d be willing to educate the mums about the existence of feminist pornography, invite the mums to my set to observe the ethical filmmaking process in action, and maybe even help them organize their thoughts towards making a short porn film of their own. When they learned that I regularly teach an erotic filmmaking workshop, “From Fantasy To Film: Design Your Own Erotic Film,” they were overjoyed and asked if I could teach it to the mums.
So we agreed that I’d host them on my set, let them ask questions of myself and our stars Kali Sudhra and Bishop Black, and then bring them the next day to a workshop space where I would use my “From Fantasy To Film: Design Your Own Erotic Film” techniques. I would show them a wide variety of film clips from erotic/porn filmmakers, encourage them to draw and paint their ideas, educate them about fantasies and fetishes they might enjoy, and help them try to come together on one concept they could call be excited about. Then, after they had finished writing and directing their own porn film, I would come to Copenhagen for the film’s premiere and share with them my true thoughts.
