in a plot reminiscent of "sunset boulevard", "hustler white" transposes the action from the silver screen's old movie backlots to contemporary male prostitution and the porn industry. the film, which like all of labruce's work is sexually explicit, includes a controversial amputee sex scene. co-director rick castro cast real male hustlers and his former models, including tony ward, as amateur actors. they also used the hustlers' homes (and other cast members' including ron athey's house in silver lake hills) as location spots for filming.
