(music from Cycles, 1989)

(film projector sound)

I became a projectionist as a student job

while I was at UCLA to be a film archivist.

Then I picked up a second job with the L.A. Press,

writing movie reviews.

I was getting double paid to watch movies.

Still, nobody was paying me to make them.

So I took what I'd saved from the side jobs

and bought myself some equipment.

A camera?

No.

A �94 Toyota Tacoma, pool vacuum, and pole.

? Blessed

heavy body.

Blessed sweat and bone.

Babe we�re gonna be together,

together til the final slumber.

Better get right with each other.

Better get right with each other.

(underwater bubble sounds)

You know, it was really

clever what Hec was doing at the time.

She was really smart about it.

I mean, we all needed our pools clean, right?

But she somehow tapped into the gay culture and made it a thing.

It didn't hurt that she was gorgeous to look at.

No no no.

She really played up that eye candy thing right.

But to her credit... mad respect

because she took her time with that net.

Those pools were clean.

So you were legitimately cleaning the pools of famous lesbians?

I always thought that was a euphemism.

You and everybody else.

The full service pool boy is the premise of almost all your films.

Were there any steamy situations with your clients?

Not a one.

What?

But they did let me use every one of their pools as a location, free of charge.

You have to understand,

I was building a network, and they loved being close to the process,

there was an energy to the time that was so hopeful, so collective.

This was in the early aughts.

The first few years coincided with the release of the L Word.

There were these watching parties springing up everywhere,

but the reception of the show was mixed, especially for butch and trans viewers.

Suddenly, there was this hungry market of dykes and their fans

wanting something rawer and truer to life.

But still glamorous.

Sure.

And by 2006, it was my full time thing.

Now, nearly a decade and a half later, your company is credited

with changing the way we think about po...

Erotic cinema.

With changing the way we think about p... Erotic cinema.

Oh, right. Yes. Erotic cinema.

What's next for Pool Boi Productions?

That's a great question.

Pool Boi Productions.

I can't believe it's real.

Oh It's real.

How does it feel?

Exciting.

Scary.

But fulfilling.

Maybe I've kind of always been a little bit of an exhibitionist.

(laugh)

I've noticed.

Kiss it.

Kiss it before we send it in the mail.

That doesn't seem like really good Covid protocol.

You're right.

I have an idea. Hold on.

(drawers opening)

(ziplock pop)

(laugh)

Now you kiss it.

(electronic music)

(postal machine beeps)

Yo yo.

Naw, we're good.

But quick question.

Um, were you expecting a package?

Well just something came for you in the company name.

Lemme see.

It's a tape, VHS.

It says, Ritual Waters by Antonie Marrowbone

and Dafnah Yiron.

Yiron, Yiron.

Wait a second.

She was our extra.

Called me about a month ago, looking for work.

Oh word?

Desperate times.

(faint tape sounds)

Ug!

Hey, now, keep that phone pointed towards the screen.

It's hard enough to see as it is.

Worse than homemade porn.

Homemade movie art.

This shit's uncomfortable, dog.

Hey wait a sec.

Go back, rewind a little.

Huh.

Nic...

There may be something here.

I dunno this is some pretty silly shit.

Right now, everyone's looking for answers.

So you're saying we go for the woo market?

I'm saying there's something here.

Maybe we help people find those answers

they seek, in their bodies.

Maybe if you contextualized it like you did in Rock and Stole...

Oh, you watched my high school National History Day video.

I got bored.

That was the first film I ever made.

(dreamy music)

(rewind sounds)

? Te amo porque

me amo

eres mi espejo.

Me amo porque te amo

ley natural

dar es amar

saber recibir es amar

sentirse bien es amar ?

(static)

Ah! It looks so good.

Doesn�t it?

(laughing)

Ooh, it's cold now.

I think we gotta call it.

Will you lean forward more slowly?

Yeah. (clears throat)

? te amo

porque me amo

eres mi espejo ?

And after the gods are all cut down,

will they grow back within us?

I am the rite,

the medicinal herb, the oblation to ancestors.

(laughing)

My coochie is sweaty!

Ow, ow! Ow!

(laughing)

(static) ow!

(sucks teeth) (laughs)

what was that? what was the ow?

Is it wire?

I don't know, just like 12 hairs cut.

Ripped from my head.

(laughing)

I�m okay.

Nothing was harmed on this set.

Shall we tell them about the time

that you taped my head?

No.

(laughing)

Oh, yeah. Oh, that. Oh.

There was two on there!

(static)

(humming)

(static)

(laughing)

Dafnah!

(burp)

(laughing)

Yes she did!

She burped.

Dafnah!

Its not coming out!

I'm so sorry.

No matter how hard I scrub.

(laughing)

Woah.

We are doing this.

(laugh)

(skype call sound)

Oh, wow. You picked up.

Must be pretty late over there.

Yes I�m up.

I'm like an old man, so I sometimes get up in the middle of the night and stay up.

How are things over there in the States, I hear they�re not too, not too good.

It's all right.

Listen.

How would you feel about a song commission?

Hmm. Tell me about the project.

Yo!

I'm coming live from the pool boy mansion

to let y'all know the wait is over.

Hec Rogers is on her way back to Los Angeles

as we speak to reveal an exclusive release.

Make sure you subscribe and upgrade to Coral�

cause we�re gonna have a virtual opening for all subscribers.

And I promise you, it's like nothing you ever experienced before.

Plus, I'll be there.

(water splashing)

(bubbles)

will you?

(Sexy futuristic music)

? Through fire, earth

air and water.

They purify themselves.

Medicinal herb. The oblation to ancestors

(Hec�s voice whispers)

Time won�t

wait for

no one, no.

I�m telling you that healing

is something we should own.

I'm sorry

Mama.

I had to go on my own.

I knew you wouldn't understand me. ?

Look look look look look.

(claps) Go go go!

It�s not a sports game.

No.

That's my idea!

? All the earth water and fire.

Breath in all the air.

Tell me what do you desire? Purify yourself.

What if there was no them to speak of? I would not be here.

Send my soul back to the ether.

It was love that brought me here.

Love that brought me here.

Through fire, earth, air, water.

They purified themselves.

Purify myself. ?

My God, I feel so seen.

It's like a love letter!

? What if there was no them to speak of.

Purify myself.

Send my soul back to the ether.

It was love that brought me here.

What if there was no them

to speak of.

Purify myself.

Send my soul back to the ether. It was love that brought us here.

After the gods, they grow back within us.

After the gods are cut down, they grow back within us.

I see the second of the coming from my back antennas.

Lord help us remember, we�re born into the center,

got no seeds to feed but feeding all that enters.

Welcome to my dome its honorable you mention.

I�m honored that you hear thanks for giving your attention.

And your intention goes a long way.

And I�ll be blowing you kisses from always.

I�ll be blowing you kisses from always

After gods are cut down

they grow back within us

After gods are cut down they grow back within us

After gods are cut down they grow back within us

After gods are cut down they grow back within us

After gods are cut down they grow back within us

After gods are cut down they grow back within us

and I�ll be blowing you kisses from always.

What if there was no them to teach us

Send my soul back to the ether. ?
