While filming 2012’s About Cherry, actor James Franco had the opportunity to explore the former San Francisco Armory. The massive, castle-like building now serves as headquarters for Peter Acworth’s Kink.com, the Internet’s largest producer of BDSM pornography. The facility is operated not unlike an old Hollywood studio lot, with multiple productions occurring simultaneously across the building’s many sets and soundstages, generating a steady stream of content for Kink.com’s various websites.
Franco tapped cinematographer Christina Voros – who worked on his recent directorial efforts, Child of God, As I Lay Dying, and Sal – to spearhead a documentary on Kink.com, its employees and models, and its production complex. The film, kink, offers a rare and surprising behind-the-scenes look at the world of professional BDSM pornography.
