The closeness of contrasting cultural forces are highlighted, letting the performers take the lead in showcasing their own abilities and identities, with some acro-chair dance thrown in for good measure. We also wanted to play with the shared voyeuristic aspects of both dance and sex work, highlighting their queer histories.

Since starting Thousand Faces, I (Marcus) have wanted to make a dance film. Not the kind with a trite plot in between music video routines, or the kind where performers just dance then fuck. I want to combine different kinds of expressive performance and movement, so mixing dance and sex as seamlessly as possible makes total sense to me. With the help of Yiming’s Bachata dance experience and choreography skills, we took inspiration from each other’s musical & sexual interests, as well as the sex-work traditions of stripping, lap-dance, & chair-dance. We wanted to destroy existing expectation of what a porn film involving dance (or vice-versa) could be, and create something fresh & new.

This holiday, forget ‘his & her’s’, why not enjoy the best of both simultaneously? At Thousand Faces we feel like P.O.V. (Point Of View) porn gets a bad rap. Sure, it’s often super male-gazey & the hallmark of dudes-with-cameras claiming to be photographers. But done right, it can really immerse you in the experience of receiving pleasure regardless of gender. For our spin on the genre we thought: why not double the POV, make it a mutual Christmas present, & create Parallel Orgasm Vision?

When filming James and Nina for ‘Human Time’, there was so much great material both visually and aurally (Nina wrote and performed the beautifully intimate voiceover) that we simply had to make two separate films. Though just as tender and vulnerable as part 1, in part 2, we get even more explicit, with more involved rope-play including full suspension. We have a different sonic vibe with new original music giving a lush, dramatic backdrop of strings & electronics. Nina’s prose-poetry provides a perfect accompaniment to the more developed relationship we see on screen, offering a startlingly detailed and tender insight into their thoughts and feelings surrounding sex, kink, rope, and emotion.

The second film in our ‘Distance’ series, (check out the first here) shows once again that distance can be hard, but in a good way (if you know what we mean!) International cybersex has never been so cute, as our two performers (in Colombia and England respectively) play a lovesick long-distance couple pining for the sensual and emotional comfort of each others’ voices and bodies in these most trying of times. Caroline’s love of dancing and dirty talk sparked the initial idea, and we couldn’t wait to get up close and personal with every word, sigh, gasp, moan, flick of the tongue and touch of the fingers. Watch their real-time videocall session to completion, or just listen and get lost in the sensuous arousal & musicality of their words & noises.

Ever wanted to feel the thrill of the unknown and push your boundaries without fear of danger or disappointment? That’s exactly what our curious customer seeks in the mysterious Trinity tavern and it’s alluring barkeep that she is sent to become acquainted with. With cryptic clues, passwords, and an unexpected observer at a piano, she soon discovers a new way to experience bodily bliss while freeing the mind. The surrealism of Twin Peaks, body-swap sci-fi of Dollhouse, & magical ritualism of Eyes Wide Shut combine as we ask the question: Will you forsake cerebral constriction, for complete corporeality?

A few years on from our first Sex Worker’s Story film, another performer (Yiming Curiosity) provides another fantastic portrait of life in sex work, as varied as any other, giving us a window into her daily life, work, and desires. This time, we focus on cam and porn performance, following Yiming’s life and work in front of and behind the camera, including exploring some of her long-held fantasies, from domination to public sex. Our longest film yet, we packed this shoot with a great balance of documentary insight and super hot sexy fun.

For Kali’s Birthday, her lover sends her a mysterious invite to an unknown location, where she finds him waiting: kneeling, blindfolded, hands bound, and ready for her to unwrap and use her gift however she pleases. Two of their friends and lovers welcome her, eager to help make this the best Birthday present she could have wished for.
