Jordan Firstman’s new film Rotting In The Sun, features real, unsimulated sex out on a famous gay cruising beach.
Executive-produced by Robert Pattinson of all people, this tragicomedy follows Jordan playing an exaggerated version of himself as he tries to track down a depressed and missing filmmaker who promised to work with him.
“I’m in those situations a lot in my real life. I’ve been to that beach before, so I was very comfortable there. I knew what it was like to get my dick sucked on that very rock! That felt like home”, he told Attitude.
“The orgy was harder because of logistics […] In general, everyone in that scene was on the more promiscuous side of gayness anyway. That’s what we were trying to show. If I wasn’t in the film, those scenes wouldn’t have been in the film.”
He continued, “[The director] noticed how open I am about my promiscuity and sex life. Especially in the time he met me, there was a lot of dicks around, and orgies, and drugs, and group sex. So, he was kind for just writing what was there.”
The meta film offers a commentary on the drug-fuelled orgies and rampant excess that has come to define much of the gay community.
“To be honest, not many actors in LA would have done what I did in the movie. It took ballsiness for all involved. That’s what I liked about it. It felt dangerous; like we were doing something bad. That comes through in the film and makes it feel more punk, too.”
“What’s cool is, this film has no moral stance about anything,” Jordan adds. “Everyone is at fault for different things. It shows you a situation and you take what you want with it. Which is the kind of art I like best.”
