Smut Capital of America (Trailer) from Michael Stabile on Vimeo.

"When the climate of the sexual revolution was at its most heated, catching a porno flick was as natural to the dating ritual as the man picking up the check ... Smut Capital of America is about this very phenomenon" (SF Appeal).

In 1969, as the sexual revolution gathered steam, San Francisco effectively decriminalized hardcore pornography. It was the first city in the US to do so, and it turned San Francisco into a boom town for sex, and eventually launched a theatrical revolution that stretched form Times Square to Hollywood Boulevard. Smut Capital talks to the theater owners, film producers, and stars in an attempt to recreate a revolution that wasn't televised, but screened. (Smut Capital of America)

The film features candid interviews with among others John Waters. The filmmakers are looking to make Smut Capital of America into a full length documentary about the birth of hard core in San Francisco by talking to the people who were there.
