Boat Daddy #2, 2016

Terry Miller and Adam Porter were boyfriends at the time “Boat Daddy” was made. Sometimes living together, they often traveled with each other and discovered common passions for art and design. These mutual influences are manifested in the film, and serve as aesthetic narrative via treatments and design elements that are, among others, inspired by the typography used by artist Ed Ruscha, the art of Tom of Finland and how he portrayed Gay men as natural vis a vis nature, kaleidoscope-like compositions used by prominent figures of op-art, design and editing techniques by vintage porn studios Falcon and Bijou and Dada photo collages. All amplified by the original score composed by Miller and the producer Futurewife, reminiscent of XXX productions from the late ’70s and early ’80s.

Boat Daddy #11, 2016

Boat Daddy is an anachronism and also a marker of Queer love. The film is presented as an extensive photo series, recast in a new light by interim years and a radically different world in terms of our digital landscape and how media is shared and censored.
