In 1971, Wakefield Poole directed the gay pornography classic “Boys in the Sand.” He was hailed as a gay porn pioneer and the film became a crossover hit that changed attitudes about pornography among gay and straight audiences that lined up to see it. https://t.co/MFJYHh89Rp

“The reason I stopped making films was the AIDS situation,” Poole said. “I lost my fan base to AIDS. I saw them all die. It’s a miracle I’m not dead. Cocaine saved my life. I did so much coke, I couldn’t have sex.”

Rest in power to Wakefield Poole, who changed gay male representation, aesthetics, and, obviously, porn. Revisiting @alexanderchee’s wonderful conversation with him. “I found people who wanted each other, who were hot for each other.”https://t.co/xAIuh9HlDi

It was an honor to program Boys in the Sand at @Metrograph years ago and I wish I had shown more of Wakefield Poole’s films when given the chance. This is another great obit by @AlexVadukul. https://t.co/ipllCc4lND
