If you thought that the team at Raging Stallion could never possibly outdo themselves after their award-winning mega-smash To the Last Man you've got another thing coming. Easily one of the most anticipated gay adult films of the year, this two-part epic has already generated a ton of pre-release buzz - most likely due to its graphic violence and bloodletting, and the controversial, very explicit, deeply disturbing, and undeniably hot mid-fuck murder sequence. Prepare to be shocked, thrilled, and left ball-drained. It's time for you men to get focused on the biggest gay adult film of the season.

"Focus/ReFocus is the single most ambitious project ever filmed by a gay porn studio. Lavish sets, a massive cast of drop-dead gorgeous studs, a directing team that has accumulated more awards than any in history, innovative modern camera work, and a story as compelling as a Hollywood blockbuster - these are just some of the elements that make Raging Stallion's five-disc movie the must-see sex film of the year. In an era of shrinking movies and scaled down projects, directors Ben Leon, Tony Dimarco, and Chris Ward created a triumph that has "instant classic" written all over it.

Focus/ReFocus features the talents of one of the hottest casts ever gathered for a single project. The two lead roles are Cole Streets as Joe Wilder, a sex-obsessed porn addict who drifts through life in search of cock; and David Taylor as Eddie, Joe’s hot boyfriend and a man with a dark and dangerous past. Steve Cruz, Bruno Bond, Ricky Sinz, Ryan Raz, Jason Crew, Angelo Marconi, and Tristan Jaxx were also selected to appear. Added to these are some of gay porn’s biggest superstars: Adam Killian, Damien Crosse, Francesco D’Macho, Wilfred Knight, Scott Tanner, Connor Habib, and Mitchell Rock. Brogan Reed and Frank Fatone are newcomers making their first appearances. Professional actor Joe Wicht plays a non-sexual role of the police interrogator in a performance that rises above anything you have ever seen in a porn movie.

Focus/ReFocus is all about sex. The two parts of this movie contain over a dozen full sex scenes that last more than six hours, and the bonus discs offer up another three hours of innovative erotica. One of the remarkable things about this movie is the use of P.O.V. (point-of-view) footage. Because the storyline features an amateur videographer shooting sex scenes in addition to the main cameras, the directors gave the actors cameras to film themselves during some of the sex scenes. This footage is cross-cut with the studio's HD-cameras to create an all-new kind of porn. It's high-end and glossy, but reality sex at the same time. This is the biggest innovation to hit porn in years, and it will have a lasting effect upon the industry. See it here first! The effect of the P.O.V. footage is remarkable and cannot be missed.

Brilliant pairings with excellent actors are the main source of heat throughout this movie. High points include a two-way between Cole Streets and David Taylor, and a threeway with Steve Cruz, Adam Killian, and Ricky Sinz, where each guy fucks each other and multiple cumshots spray everywhere. A five man orgy brings together Wilfred Knight, Damien Crosse, Francesco D’Macho, Steve Cruz, and Angelo Marconi - talk about a power cast! Both Damien and Francesco take oral cumshots that represent a new level of over-the-top debauchery from Raging Stallion Studios. They drink so much cum - all delivered during massive, simultaneous cumshots - that Damien cannot keep it all in his mouth. Its bukakke gone wild! These may be the finest cumshots ever filmed at Raging Stallion. Yes, they are that good.

There is an excellent oral scene between Cole Streets and Frank Fatone (who has one of the biggest dicks ever seen); Connor Habib gets a royal pounding from Tristan Jaxx (who also offers up a three ounce cumshot from his nine inch cock); and Ryan Raz, Jason Crew and Brogan Reed take turns fucking each other, culminating in an amazing double penetration. David Taylor rapes Scott Tanner’s ass; Bruno Bond takes advantage of Ryan Raz; and David Taylor experiences the ultimate, final orgasm in the grand finale with Cole Streets. It takes place in a deserted movie theater, with giant images of sex playing behind them on the big screen. This scene generated significant controversy and may not be appropriate for all viewers. And these are only some of the many sex scenes offered!

Focus/ReFocus takes place at the intersection of Danger and Desire. This is an old style Hollywood film noir that tracks the story of Joe Wilder on a sexual adventure that ends in a very startling and unexpected way.

Not a day goes by when Joe does not consume porn. His favorite is Dario Stefano, a hairy Portuguese porn star with a tight, perfectly cut body. Inspired by his insatiable porn consumption, Joe buys a video camera. Joe just wanted to capture the passion and lust that he felt during sex with his boyfriend and share it with the world; he is both a voyeur and an exhibitionist. He knows how hot he is and he knows that Eddie, his boyfriend, is big-time porn star material! When the clip is posted he is ecstatic about the number of comments and feedback he gets. His ego takes control.

But Eddie, who's cock is now all over the web, is not quite as pleased. Eddie has good reason to avoid publicity and the last thing he wants is to have his private life the object of public scrutiny. But Joe's obsession grows, consuming his days and nights. He follows couples and seeks out sex in whatever form he can find it. With camera in hand he turns his world into his own porn studio, and with each encounter he moves further away from reality. He moves from Peeping Tom, to stalker, to edge player in a few short weeks, his cock hardest when danger - or is it thrill? - comes close.

As the tension builds not all of Joe’s videos are welcomed. David is enraged and takes it out on those around him. As the ongoing conflict with his boyfriend drives them apart, Joe focuses more and more on his obsession, porn star Dario Stefano.

A dream comes true when Joe is invited to film a huge five-man orgy that includes Dario and a collection of "A-list gays" in a beautiful mansion in San Francisco’s Pacific Heights. But at this moment of sexual satisfaction, things quickly get complicated. With the growth of viral videos, private material never meant to be seen can leak out to the world. When a clip of a sex video gets mysteriously posted, heads begin to roll. Joe’s mind is so removed from reality he fixates on a new sexual adventure - trying to figure out who is killing hot tricks in the Castro, all of whom appeared in the online posting. One of the guys on the video was Dario. Could Dario be the next victim?

As Joe attempts to follow the trail he gets closer and closer to the source, almost without realizing the danger. One by one people he interacts with are killed or go missing, until finally Dario is murdered in Joe’s own bed. As danger closes in, Joe’s heart pounds fast with a strange mixture of horror, fear, and excitement.

There is a fine line between normal and insane, and with the driving force of misdirected sexual desire, Joe teeters on the edge - a normal, average life on one side, and a dark and thrilling abyss on the other. Joe faces the biggest choice of his life, but his cock has as much to say about it as does his head.

Focus/ReFocus has three action-packed bonus discs, one of which - Focus/Refocus P.O.V. - is available only in this Collector's Edition set. Many special features discs are full of crap, to say the least - boring photoshoots, extended interviews with people who have nothing to say, etc. Raging Stallion decided to make sure that each of these bonus discs was an erotic event unto itself. Put together by award-winning director Andrew Rosen, these extras are worth talking about!

Bonus Disc One contains a Steve Cruz solo and the entire P.O.V. footage from the scene between David Taylor and Cole Streets; it's over an hour of hot, amateur-style action. In addition there are trailers from Raging Stallion blockbusters from years past.

Bonus Disc Two contains an extended documentary by Andrew Rosen entitled Getting into Focus. It’s a revealing study of how major porn movies are made, complete with interviews with actors and directors, and fly-on-the-wall looks at production meetings. See how sex scenes are filmed and learn what being a porn actor is all about. A second documentary is a video diary of the entire 22-day shoot featuring some very sexy stuff that was so good it was taken out of the documentary and put into a special feature of its own. Last is an amazing solo from beefy Mitchell Rock.

Bonus Disc Three is a full disc of P.O.V. footage from the various scenes in Focus/ReFocus that used this kind of camera work. The directors gave the actors in the scene a camera to film themselves having sex, taking amateur/gonzo-style to a new level. You get footage from the orgy, footage from the dramatic threeway, and footage from the all-oral scene - almost three hours of unedited, non-stop, real time hardcore action. (The disc could even be sold as a full movie on its own!) This is one of the best special feature discs that Raging Stallion has ever produced."
