Dear Pillow begins with a disillusioned 17yr old teenager named Wes (Rusty Kelley), who works at a grocery store to help his single, recently
divorced father (Cory Criswell) help pay the bills in their one bedroom apartment. Wes has an over sexual imagination and wants to pursue a
career in writing articles for sex magazines and one day write screen plays to pornos. Though, he finds out it isn’t as easy to write sex stories,
when he is too scared to lose his virginity, but kind of eager to try. So Wes gets a little help with his writing skills by listening in on a police scanner
that is fine tuned into his neighbour's phone (Lorna, played byVivian Vives) who makes a living being a phone sex operator. As he listens in and
gathers all the juicy details from Lorna's incoming calls, it’s not long after he begins to share his devious stories with his new friend Dusty (Gary
Chason) a fifty year old homosexual writer who once used to direct porn films, but now makes a living from publications from a raunchy men’s
magazine called 'Dear Pillow'. As Dusty teaches Wes the fine art of how to 'write with his penis', his father becomes very concerned for Wes’
safety when he starts spending long amounts of time with Dusty who has a secret crush on Wes and tries to get him drunk on nights he works
late. Lorna sooner or later finds out by Dusty what Wes has been doing and confronts him face to face, but unaware that Dusty has a surprise for
them both where everyone’s sexual fantasies are satisfied. On Wes 18th birthday, Dusty wants to shoot a porno with Lorna and Wes and send it
off to his ex-boyfriend who is now married with kids in hopes to drive him back into his arms once again. Wes now has to decide if he really wants
his sexual fantasies come to life and put into reality.
Written and directed by a filmmaker named Bryan Poyser, this is his first attempt in creating a full length feature film called Dear Pillow. Before
Dear Pillow, Poyser had only written and directed a handful of short films such as Pleasureland (2001) and Jesus of Judson (1996) which I
haven't yet had the chance of viewing just yet, but to one day check out. When watching the first 30 minutes of Dear Pillow my first reaction was
(FUCK not another kiddie porn, paedophile film) I soon found my thumb lightly placed on the remotes fast-forward button ready for nasty graphic
surprises. Thank god I didn’t have to endure any crap like that, though I did find myself being drawn right into the film with its original storyline.
Wes and Dusty's relationship was sexual, but not in the guy on guy type of way; but more vocal and sharing thoughts of homoerotic fantasies with
each other. Though I can’t blame the guy for having sexually confused feelings for both sexes, after he found his fathers hidden bondage mags in
the bottom draw in his room. Dusty tells him it’s ok to like men, Lorna looks at him as eye candy, and his best friend from his old school sends him
postcards stating "God put heaven in a girl’s ass". The director's style of shooting kind of reminded me of an early Larry Clark's " Kids" (1995)
meets non other than Gregg Araki's "The Living End" (1992).
The characters in this film were definitely well written and cast members Rusty Kelley, Gary Chason and the beautiful Vivian Vives all did a
tremendous top notch job in this film and I cannot fault either one of them at all. Despite this film being about porn and very sexual vocally, sadly it
doesn’t contain any nudity whatsoever, but remarkable enough, the film is still highly entertaining to visually watch and listen to.
Dear Pillow is definitely going to become a cult classic in due time, being right up there with films such as Kids, The Doom Generation and a
number of John Waters films. The next time you purchase a DVD online, make sure you keep in mind to track down Bryan Poyser's Dear Pillow,
those who are fans of Larry Clark, Gregg Araki or John Waters will definitely feel that you got your money's worth here. Everyone else I recommend
you rent before you buy, just to play it safe.
