CLARK’S DIARY OF A MAD PORN DIRECTOR HITS STORES TODAY

VAN NUYS, Calif. — AVN Award-winning director David Aaron Clark’s first project distributed through Madness Pictures, Diary of a Mad Porn Director, will be hit store shelves today.

Clark, who has over 30 titles to his credit as a director, was awarded with the AVN Award for Best Screenplay in 2002 for collaborating with Brad Armstrong on Euphoria, and in 2004 for Best Ethnic-Themed Video — Asian for Asia Noir 2.

Diary of Mad Porn Director follows, in his words, several miserable months of Clark’s life in Canoga Park. He describes it as “serving time in one of the most culture-free dead zones on the face of the planet.”

“I rarely found Porn Valley a pleasant experience,” Clark said. “If it wasn’t for my roommate at the time, Brian Surewood, who is like a brother to me, and the stream of beautiful Asian women that came through offering their distractions, I would have lost it. But they gave me the inspiration for Diary.”

Shot from Clark’s point-of-view, the narrative of Diary of a Mad Porn Director is propelled by kinky and ironic encounters with Nyomi Marcella, Kimmy Khan, Lyla Lei, Sin Nye Lang and, on a side trip to the Exotic Erotic Ball in San Francisco, professional contortionist and acrobat Jade-Blue Eclipse.

“You get glimpses into the real lives of the models as the sex flows into documentary and back again. The tone goes from dreamy and druggy to rough and quick depending on the situation,” Clark added.

Surewood enters the fray when Clark hits the road to attend the 2003 AVN Expo in Las Vegas. The climactic orgy in a seedy motel room is shot gritty “like Larry Clark,” he said, referring to the still photographer and film director who shot the mainstream titles Kids and Bully.

“The subtitle for Diary of a Mad Porn Director is Saison d’Infer, taken from French poet Arthur Rimbaud’s poem. All told, it’s pretty appropriate that Diary is being put out by a company named Madness,” Clark laughed.
