In the beginning… there was porn. And some of it was pretty awesome! But a lot of it, you know, wasn’t. Mainstream porn can be problematic in all sorts of ways—most notably that 90 percent of dirty movies are made for white dudes by white dudes. And why is there primarily only one body type (skinny and hairless)? And are any of the actors having fun? I mean, for real?
These are the kind of porn problems that inspired beloved sex columnist Dan Savage to create the HUMP! film festival—an annual celebration of amateur dirty movies that are for the people, by the people!
HUMP! invites folks from all over the Northwest and beyond to submit five-minute mini porn flicks that are written, directed, shot, and—in a lot of cases—performed by these sex-positive amateur auteurs. The filmmakers are encouraged to express themselves sexually in whatever way they see fit—so instead of seeing the same, staid heteronormative clips you’ll find on the internet, HUMP! is a virtual rainbow of diverse (AND HOT) sexuality! You’ll see straight sex, sure… but you’ll also see every possible combination of sexuality, body types, ages, colors, genders, kinks, fetishes, and even animation. Oh, and here’s something you won’t find very often on Pornhub: FUN. These films are often hilarious, hot, sincere, vulnerable, and heartfelt, made by people who actually know and, very often, love each other. And what’s sexier than that? THIS is what HUMP! is all about. Now… do you have any more questions?
YES, AS A MATTER OF FACT I DO! HOW DO HUMP! FILMS GET CHOSEN?
