PRODUCTION Germany

Moya's "Porneographic" film financed by Internet users

by 

Hotel Desire, the debut feature by young actor Sergej Moya (pictured), is now ready to start shooting in Berlin, after securing €170,000 in 80 days through crowd-funding (on the website http://hotel-desire.com/, where the film’s screenplay and information about the project and the team are still available).

The idea behind this so-called "porneographic" project is to fully render the beauty of sexuality, desire, intimacy, and spontaneity... Hotel Desire sets out to use elements of the porn genre without becoming a porn movie.
