Christopher Rage fearlessly explored the dark side of male sexuality, and was the first gay pornographer to use videotape (vs. film). XRCO (the X-rated Critics Organization) named him "best director" in 1988 for MY MASTERS. In addition to appearing in each of these films, he wrote and performed original music for his films as well as recording an album in 1987, and is credited with some 26 erotic (mostly straight) novels.
Wildside One-Sheet (Reimagined)

One of the great things about working with some of Rage's material is imagining what he would do with the same material, today. The marketing art for Wildside is a good example of what looks primitive, early desktop-publishing and cheaply produced. While the materials were simple photocopies of a pasteboard, the content was clearly thought through and each image chosen from the narative of the film.
