From Vice: Josh “Socalled” Dolgin discovers the joys of making an arthouse adult film, “The Housesitter,” which will have its premiere at the Pop Montreal cultural festival.

But despite the Canadian rapper’s venture into the genre, Dolgin says that he “doesn’t need porn the way some people seem to. I don’t jerk off to porn. A lot of porn is boring and repetitive. I do like to have porn playing at parties.” Casual.

Dolgin’s interest in porn came about a decade ago, through pornographer Toby Ross. “Toby always used natural lighting. The films felt real, and the men in them looked like they were actually having fun. They’re beautiful films.”

So when he got talking to porn actor River Wilson on Grindr last year, it was only logical that they decided to make an adult film together. But not just any adult film, one that was “beautiful” and had “integrity”, you know, just in case you decide to whip it on after the appetizers have been served.

And so the result was an indie porno filmed at his parent’s house who were away for the winter. “I think it’s still sinking in with my dad, but he’ll deal with it,” Dolgin said.

Of The Housesitter:

Brownies are brought over as a tasty gift, and then the two engage in a game of chess. Soon after, they have invigorating sex in front of the fireplace. But there are also forays into the fantastical: The Housesitter features a dream sequence, in which Wilson and Braun meet up in the snow wearing outrageous masks.

That’s pretty fucking indie for a porn flick.
