Austin Adult Entertainment: Dispatch from Outfest: “Fourplay” and Jane Lynch Lead Jampacked Start
Outfest’s standout world premiere is not a feature (yet); it is the 27-minute short film “Fourplay: San Francisco,” which centers on a transvestite prostitute who is hired to have sex with a paralyzed man. Though they’re headed to Chicago soon, Kyle Henry and the people behind the “Fourplay” series still consider themselves Austin filmmakers. Working with a mostly Austin crew, Henry and team are in the process of finishing the four short films that make up their “Fourplay” series. Each short is set in a different U.S. city (San Francisco, Tampa, Austin, New Haven), and features a different transgressive sex act as the scene on which the characters’ arcs hinge.
Henry and his partner/co-writer Carlos Treviño were inspired by stories their friends and acquaintances told them about their sexual experiences. In the San Francisco installment, the couple was delighted to create a transvestite character based on their friend, the sex-positive sex worker activist Chloe, staying away from any trans-cliché. When writing the character of Aliya (played by Paul Soileau, who moonlights as performance artist Christeene), the couple was intent not to create another asexual transvestite, so they gave Aliya a very intimate sex scene.
