A NEW SUPERSTAR.... DEREK CAMERON
When you review as many videos as we have to review for the family of magazines we belong to, you would think that you may become jaded and find it difficult to get a hard on any more. Well, along comes a new face and that tingle in your dick screams SUPERSTAR. Derek Cameron has all the qualities of a superstar and I have felt that way since I first saw him in Matt Sterling's TRADEWINDS. I have waited to see more of him, and I waited, and I waited. Good news. According to a press release from MEN OF ODYSSEY their second major release will be 'A Journey to Italy." It will star Derek Cameron, pictured here for those of you who may not remember him.
Shooting began the first week of May in Italy under the direction of LUCAS KAZAN. Who is Lucas Kazan? He is the man who wrote "The Pornographer,"was the Production Supervisor on Jeff Stryker's "CyberStud"and his movie was a star at the Palm Springs Film Festival. Bob East of Men of Odyssey saw a great new producer/director and nabbed him for his Italian feature. Paired up with Derek Cameron the result should be incredible. Odyssey doesn't spend a ton of money on a quickie movie with a few known names at the lead. They take out all the stops and away they go as evidenced by "Idol in the Sky."
To refresh my memory I called Matt Sterling and asked for a copy of TRADEWINDS. He was so quick to respond I had the copy before the day was over. I fell in love all over again with Derek. No I have never met the man and I hate meeting them because it is so awkward to shake the hand of the man who made you come at least three times during the movie. Well, at my age anyone knows that three times during the movie would be an exaggeration. But, not when you take all day to watch the entire movie. Gotcha!
What makes a superstar? I guess it must be the one who appeals to more of the community than others.
Older guys, younger guys, porn stars, cast members and crew members, producers and directors, distributors, art directors, publishers, the entire spectrum of the gay community in this business. He has to be a guy who would look hot in leather, a uniform, Levis, Speedos, cut-offs, a tank top or just absolutely nothing. Look what happened when Jeff Stryker arrived on the scene. You couldn't find anyone who saw his movie who didn't like him. Not only did they like that cock but they liked the body, the face, the ass, the voice and the personality. I know that Jeff is a singer but I doubt that Derek Cameron is a singer. Hey Derek...you don't have to sing. Just go to Italy and dazzle those Italian Stallions.
The movie is set for editing in June and July and we should be seeing the movie in the fall. Yes, I will keep you informed. In fact, I have Bob East's phone number at Odyssey and he does take my calls.
If you happen to be a fan of the gay videos you may want to check out STARS MAGAZINE, the Gay Cinema Review Magazine that is getting a lot of attention lately because we show the hottest scenes from the movies from the hottest producers. Sure we get videos in the mail every day but if they aren't hot we turn them over to OUT OF THE CLOSET, a gay organization that runs thrift shops and the profits put spending money in the pockets of AIDS patients who have no money for incidentals.
