DIRECTOR ARCH BROWN

With a background in theatre, Arch Brown was one of the more prolific early gay porn
home directors. His films were most popular in the mid 70's to early 80's, but he continued
making gay porn into the era of "direct-to-video" in the mid 80's. By the late 70's he
blog turned to playwriting as well, and if you go to his website, you can see much more info
on this. (Arch and Bruce Brown Foundation) Brown established, in 1993, a foundation
pornology in memory of his late lover to give grants for Gay-Positive arts projects. You can find
more info on that, as well, on his website. Arch Brown passed away in 2012.

at NYC’s Piers. One is a tall, slim brunet with several arm tattoos, the other is a
compact, muscular businessman type. They head to the tattoed stud’s apartment for sex,
and the peeper watches them through the keyhole and jacks off. First they 69 on the
couch, then the businessman takes a ride on the tattooed stud’s cock on the floor. The
construction worker from Heaviy Lifting appeared in a scene.

The Night Before - (1973)

Goddard" (the reviews at the time). (I've seen the film, it's great, but I know nothing
about the "legit" directors to compare it). "His first and only big budget film" Original
score by David Ernest. With

husband who dreams of leather-clad men while having sex with his wife."

Long Johns - (1985)

Despite being shot on video, Brown manages to keep the quality good in this simple
tale of horny cowpokes. Some guys are hairy, some smooth - but NONE of these guys
have shaved/trimmed body parts! While background music might seem unimportant to
some, this is NOT cheesey Casio-disco crap, but low-key harmonica/guitar
strumming...(or is that a banjo?)... sometimes just the sounds of "nature" - birds,
running water.. Starring: Dennis Crane, Sean Gregory, Chris Michaels, Jesse
Fairweather, Chris Orion, Tom Foster, Jay Baracas. Beware of 65-minute later
VHS/DVD's of this; original running tim eis 80 minutes.

Bring Your Own Man - (1985)

made on video; Starring: Chris Orion , Justin Thyme, Denton Crane, J.D. Slater, and
Jesse Fair-weather. The plot is supposed to be one lover (Justin Thyme) gives the other
a birthday present of 3 escorts, but the version I've seen, only shows the Justin doing the
interviewing - but the scene with J.D. Slater is good, with him and his partner seeming
to have real chemistry (and J.D. is very vocal, in a sexy, not forced, way).

Rough Idea - (1985)

made on video; Starring: J.D. Slater, Sean Gregory, Sam Small, Chris Orion, Jason
Daniels, Jesse Fairweather, Rick Peters, Danie Connors, Rocco Colosso, Chris Rage,

Reno Chesrini, Dick Mack, Scott Morgan, Paul Swint, and Shawn Cognito. Produced
by, photography and soundtrack by Christopher Rage. Great movie for J. D. Slater fans
- top, bottom, oral anal, his ass is whipped (lightly) with a belt, cockrings, and the final
orgy scene is similar to Gage's Closed Set, with Slater being the center of attention -
cum, piss, and even some cold bear is thrown his way as he lies on the floor. From the
looks of the editing and camera work, it is clearly more of a Chris Rage film than Arch
Brown.
