NORTHWEST HUMP! 2009! yes yes yes (porn seen by alex)

OH SUZY!  You would have loved what I got to do last weekend…  after 5 years success in Seattle, Portland finally got to screen HUMP – an amateur porn festival!  It was funny, sexy, scary, hot, sad, and cute, and hard core alllll rolled into one.  The films must be under 5 minutes.  It was hosted by Dan Savage – the writer and columnist made famous for his SAVAGE LOVE column in all the weeklies around the country.  I remember reading Savage in the Philly Weekly as soon as I moved to the city in 2000.  LOVE IT!  Even after years in LA, this will still stay high on my celebrity-meeting list. 

If you want DETAILS you can read each of the films descriptions on the Portland Murcury’s site.  

Here’s how HUMP! works: Every year we invite local filmmakers from all over the Northwest to make five-minute-long homemade porn movies. The filmmakers choose the actors and write the scripts. There’s a “no kids, no animals, no poop” rule, but beyond that the films can be just as filthy, vanilla, funny, or serious as the filmmakers like. We pick the best submissions, screen the festival, and after the final screenings we destroy our only copies of the films. HUMP! is the amateur porn festival that lets you be a porn star for the weekend and not the rest of your life! And the best part? There are two $2,000 grand prizes: one for “sexiest” film and one for “funniest.” And you (the HUMP! audience member) decide who wins!

YOU SHOULD BE SURE TO be here next year for it, Suzy and friends.. it sold out!  It was great fun!

hahaha. “no kids, no animals, no poop”
