Plot
A man's amateur erotic film wins him a contract with an adult video distribution company, where he faces a series of moral crises.[5]
Critical reception
Scott Weinberg of Apollo Guide wrote, "A winning little indie that sheds some fascinating light onto an industry we rarely see." Steve Rhodes of Internet Reviews gave the film a positive review: "Partly tragic, frequently funny and always touching, the film creates characters you care about even when they go astray."[6]
Variety wrote An extremely naive philosophy informs "The Pornographer," a simplistic morality tale about a young, lonely man who attempts to realize his sexual fantasies by plunging into the corrupt world of adult video production.
