Hervé Pierre-Gustave

Hervé P. Gustave (known by the acronym HPG) is an actor, producer and director of pornographic films born in France in 1966. Since 1995, when he presented Acteur X pour vous servir, a short between auteur diary and porn which attracted the attention of the French Cinémathèque, HPG has developed a parallel career as a filmmaker where his experience in the adult entertainment industry finds a different way of expression and significance.

That’s what he considered, for instance, in his documentary HPG, son vit, son oeuvre (1999) and in his feature film debut, On ne devrait pas exister (2006), selected for the Cannes Fortnight. In 2011 he supplied the artist Raphaël Siboni with thousands of hours of succulent behind-the-scenes porn material which the latter organised in his documentary Il n’y a pas de rapport sexuel.
