HUSTLER WHITE!


i am so happy & honored that HUSTLER WHITE has been chosen as part of the legacy program for OUTFEST- 2010.

i also can't believe it's been 14 YEARS since HW was released... my how time flies.


so here is your chance to see our cult classic on the big screen-

please join RICK CASTRO & JD SAMSON from
LE TIGRE for a special screening of the cult classic-

HUSTLER WHITE- staring TONY WARD
co- directed & written by rick castro & bruce la bruce, (1996)

also staring kevin p. scott, graham david smith, ron athey, glen meadmore, kevin kramer, and ivar johnson as PIGLET.

Much has been written and misunderstood about Hustler White, so let me say for the record, it was our intention to create a film that was both a parody and homage to underground filmmaking, homosexual subculture and classic Hollywood cinema. Images & one liners are peppered throughout this film with subtle or direct references to Sunset Boulevard, Whatever Happen to Baby Jane, The Killing of Sister George, Death in Venice, Rosemary’s Baby, Three Women, Flesh, and Hollywood Babylon. Hustler White transposes the action from the silver screen's old movie back lots to pre-internet male prostitution, porn industry and Santa Monica Boulevard- the boulevard of lost dreams and broken promises.

Going on 12 years since the release, I can now look back at the film and observe it, as it’s own entity. Tony Ward is still a pleasure to watch. I hadn't seen someone with that much screen lust appeal since Joe Dallesandro.

screening will be followed by a Q&A, (by JD SAMSON of le tigre)
with co-director & writer-
RICK CASTRO
