"I've Seen It All": Conversations with Wakefield Poole
He literally has seen it all. Wakefield Poole experienced a glowing era of American film history and the „golden age“ of several glorious things such as Broadway, Porno Chic, Rock Music, Gay Liberation, and the Sexual Revolution itself. After being almost forgotten, the films by adult movie pioneer Wakefield Poole are being re-discovered by a younger generation of cinematics. In a very personal and career-spanning interview, Mr. Poole shares never-heard stories and talks about every single film he made. He discusses several other stations of his life; for example: cooking in the Trump Tower and for Jackie Kennedy. Not only his well-known celluloid-masterpieces like Boys in the Sand, or Bijou are discussed, but also the often overlooked movies shot on video by the former dancer & choreographer, and his life after retirement. Includes a foreword by documentary filmmaker Jim Tushinski, the historical interview “Dirty Poole†by Jack Fritscher from the legendary ‚Drummer‘ Magazine which was originally published in 1977, and a conversation with German film critic Udo Rotenberg. On top the interviews are represented visually by many stills, snapshots from private archives, artworks and ephemera pieces.
