Travis Mathews is the wistful pervert behind In Their Room, last year’s much-abuzzed series that chronicled the sullen masturbation techniques, video game habits and tortured yearnings of a few fuckable bicycle fags.
His new project is called I Want Your Love, a title that comes from a song by the Chromatics, one of several big cool-kid bands to jump aboard the project. There’s cool-kid cred all around, in fact, when you consider Travis’s special talent for using documentary-style sex in the service of a larger cinematic vision.
Todd Verow is the only director I can think of who has done anything remotely similar. Todd Verow is also the man who once said, "Porn is when the viewer masturbates; art is when the artist masturbates." To this I say: why not both?
The first of the series of episodes debuts next week on NakedSword.com. I’ll have a trailer on Monday. Until then, enjoy some stills. (And holla, Brenden Shucart!)

I think that Brenden should be the lead in this film not Jessie don’t get me wrong Jessie is great. I just hope that the Brenden actor is in the movie as a lead he is hot.
I fell in love with Brenden, where can i watch it more? who is it? the short is simply fantastic, i want to watch the complete movie, when? where? can you give some more info?
What I liked about the film is that if felt real. Most porn just bores me to death especially when the voice over (moans, words, etc) do not go with the action. And the action is so unlike how it is when people actually hook up. I liked the close ups of the guys and that these were just normal guys who are attractive men but not the hotties with the bodies and super dicks. My only real complaint is with some of the editing for I felt like it was a little too quick and or jerky in some scenes. I would go see this movie to found out more about these guys for it felt like they had an honest friendship, and this is a moment in time of discovery and intimacy between the two.
Congratulations on I Want Your Love winning Best Gay Short 2010 – the accolade is very well-deserved. :) I can’t wait for the full-length feature.
Que video tan bonito, la pareja de muchachos se ve muy natural y lo que mas me gusta es que poco a poco se interrelacionan hasta que llegan al deseo que ambos sienten el uno por el otro, las caricias son magníficas, no se ve nada grotesco, pero si extremadamente sensual y además los actores estan muy handsomes.
Felicidades al Director de este que por látima es un corto metraje
I found this by accident. A person I follow on tumblr had posted it. I thought this was INCREDIBLE. Loved every second of it. Yeah, there is shortbus but that was just meh for me. Everyone in the film was having drama and nothing sweet and loving came across in the film. But in this it was just… Goddamn I am obsessed with it. And like many here brendan is gorgeous. Those eyes are so beautiful.
It’s really great! Can’t waiting the whole movie!
Totally in love with this clip ;) Does any one knows when it will release?
A perfect mixture of script, direction, acting and of certainly “porn” never cum across such a beautiful combination ever before :)
Does any one knows when the full movie is due releasing?
According to this site: http://www.iwantyourlovethemovie.com/?cat=7 IWYL wrapped at the start of April and is now in post-production. So perhaps we can look to a Fall release. Fingers crossed. :)
i can not agree more.
ditto to all you guys.
“Porn is when the viewer masturbates; art is when the artist masturbates.” why not both?
This is a film of makinglove. To me itis not porn. Brendan is the hotest guy in a long time. When will this film come out on DVD? I can’t wait.
es MAGNIFICA,EXTRAORDINARIA……..UNA DELICIA, GRACIAS.
Wow. There was something magical about this film short. I think you were able to capture this sexual tension existing between gay men who are friends who have not as of yet slept together but have started to consider the possibilities of extending the boundaries of their friendship vs. gay men who pick up someone and then become friends afterwards. I was moved by the directing, the script, the silent moments and the acting. Brenden had a tenderness that I instantly connected with. I wanted to see what happens next. I became somehow invested in the rest of the story and how their lives unfold. The physical scenes were erotic and sexy, but they were also emotionally engaging. There is nothing wrong with porn, but this registered in my mind as something else…a different genre. Something elevated and artistic but also real. I have been waiting for someone to create something like this my whole life. I found it life affirming. Cant wait to see the movie. You have something special in the making.
Dude… Word.
This was beautifully shot, scripted, acted & edited. This is how real people fuck & I think I’m in love with Brendan.
I am all for people doing what they want, but for me i do not want dicks in my ass it just fucks up the sheets to say the least, but it can go in my poontang ;-)
wow! this is an absolute and excellent gay porn i have ever watched. Everything was just great and hot,please where can i get the full movie?i really cant wait to have it. Well done for your incredible job director( Amanda) i love u all.
Some of the comments have said ‘best porn I’ve seen’. I think I’d say, “sexiest art I’ve ever seen”.
I absolutely don’t class this as porn. This was thoughtful and insightful, a great script, beautifully directed and acted, and of course it was hot! The chemistry between the actors was there and Travis skillfully made full use of that to best effect, capturing looks and touches that demonstrated a connection between them, showed clear affection. I’m curious where this story is going to go – friends sleeping together can be problematic, and Brenden and Jesse seemed to be seeing other guys. I hope this has a happy ending!
I can’t wait for the full-length movie to be released – any idea when that will happen? An update would be appreciated. :-)
Thanks, Amanda! Production on the feature version of IWYL is underway now, and as a matter of fact, there’s a casting call in New York this weekend. Stay tuned to the IWYL news page (http://www.iwantyourlovethemovie.com/?cat=7) and TheSword for updates.
El mejor porno que he visto. Y Brenden es hermoso.
I love it – very engaging on all levels – Its an honest look at real relationships which is a breath of fresh air – I need to know more about them!!!!! – which must mean I want more which must mean I’m sold!!!! – Very well done!!!! – but then I was an immense fan of “In there rooms” which I can see now – was this films – younger – cute – gay – countryboy-cousin! – hehe.
OMG!! Did i miss this? This clip is incredible, great acting, so real!!!! Where do i find the whole movie?
Ditto on the “best porn I’ve ever seen” comment — and I’m a woman! (A woman who openly enjoys both gay and straight sex on film/video, but still…)
Hot all the way.
What a wonderful and tender movie!! Everything was great, the music, the story, the scenes and the actors looked very natural, I just loved it from the beggining! I think that most of gays videos don’t even have a deeper sense than just showing sex but this short made me think how wonderful can be a gay relationship! Congratulations to the director!! You have done a great job man!
Woooooooooooow is the best picture what I see in my life, simply perfect!
I’m completelly in love of that film…
I m french, so hard to right what i feel and think, but it’s just fantastic!
Sexy, hot, exciting… It’s what happend in my bed room!
Want to see more!
ad
This is by far the best porn I’ve ever seen.
wow! that was one of the sexiest things i’ve ever seen. the actors were great and i would love to see more!
What is the name of the actors? PLEASE!-
I’m pretty sure I just fell in love with Brendan.
Yep, me too, fell completely and totally in love….sigh….what a warm, wonderful discovery.
Brendan
so did I :(
John Cameron Mitchell did this with his movie “ShortBus” The film featured full on sex – gay, lesbian, and straight couplings, an orgy scene, rimming, cum…etc. I got it because I thought it would be like a gay skinemax movie – with better dialogue – but it was actually a good story.
