Sean Storm
Nappy: I think it’s so wonderful that you and I have been corresponding for years. I remember back when you were this little twink who was always cast as the towel boy in the locker room. You were adorable. Look at you know. Scruffy and just screaming “boy”. I love it.! Is there a difference between that Sean Storm and the Sean Storm I talked to during the last Folsom 2004 in San Francisco?
Sean: Most definitely. I have officially experienced 'the change' in life, and identify myself as an adult now rather than a boy/young man. What really pushed this new maturity along was starting up Cre8tive Juices Media. I literally went from a party boy one day to a businessman the next.
N: Before I get to the meat and potatoes, I have got to ask how tall are you? You’re such a tiny little thing. I could pick you up and carry you for miles, over my shoulders. How much do you weigh?
S: I am 5'4" tall, and that is rounding up. My current weight is 130 pounds.
N: There are two Sean Storms. There is the condom video Sean and there’s the bareback video Sean. When and why did you decide to do a bareback video? Weren’t you afraid of being blacklisted? When the news broke that “America’s Sweetheart Sean Storm Is Making Bareback Videos!!” how did you handle it?
S: I have always wanted to do bareback videos, right from the beginning back in 2000. Unfortunately, the industry pressures models to condom videos only. If a model goes bareback - even for just one video - there are at least 5 major studios who automatically won't hire that model to do a condom scene. My decision to go ahead and take a chance and do bareback videos was based on my desire to have my own company. By having my own company I didn’t have to worry about being blacklisted, per se, because the option to do videos was right in the palm of my very own hands. I am a huge Paul Morris/Treasure Island Media fan, so before making my own flicks, I wanted to do one for him (which became the HUGELY popular CUM-SLOPPY BUTTHOLES). I fully expected to never do another condom flick again, so when Raging Stallion offered me GAY DREAMS 2, PARTY IN THE REAR, and THE SHAFT as post-bareback projects, I jumped at the chances to show other models that one doesn’t have to let others control one's career. And now I have two projects in the works with Centaur Films. Between Centaur and Raging Stallion, and my own Cre8tive Juices, I am busier than ever before.
I didn’t realize I was America's Sweetheart. LOL. You know, I knew the criticisms would be unavoidable. The first thing I did was to make an announcement to my fans. They truly are the people I care to listen to the most. It isn’t what the critics or others in the industry have to say - it's what the fans have to say that matter most. In general, the response was overwhelmingly positive. And today my name is so attached to bareback that it's a bigger news story when my name becomes attached to a condom project.
N: What was it like working for Raging Stallions? I love them. You know they’re like family to me.
S: Oh wow! I have nothing but good things to say about Chris Ward, JD Slater and Michael Brandon, and the staff. They really welcome you into their offices and allow you to make yourself at home. The actual shoot days run very smoothly, and the atmosphere is very accommodating for models to engage and enjoy the sex that they are being paid to do.
I think Chris Ward and I have a mutual respect for one another, and it's great to have watched and learned from him as a director so that I can apply some of the things he did toward my own directing efforts.
N: What was it like working with Treasure Island Media and Dawson? I met him once. Dawson is so fine! You two together in “Cumsloppy Buttholes” was almost too much for me to bear. Almost, I said. Amazing.
S: From a safe sex company point of view, Centaur and Raging Stallion are incredible studios to work for. And on the bareback front, Treasure Island is also an excellent company to do work for. What I like about T.I.M. is they are on the cutting edge of sex.... a model knows they are doing work that is considered controversial, so when I shot for Treasure Island for CUMSLOPPY BUTTHOLES I didn’t experience any of the diva attitudes that usually tend to flair up on other condom studio sets. Dawson was certainly intimidating to me... he has such an incredibly beautiful body and smile. That "IT Factor" certainly applies to Dawson, and I think he is one of the first major superstars to be bred out of the bareback video industry.
N: You and Chip “Centaur Video” Daniels are partners and have been for a while. I think that’s cool. I loved your work at Centaur. What’s it like to be directed by your man? How is Chip by the way? I use to have a video of his. I was wonderful. Some Queen stole it.
S: Queens LOVE to steal videos, don't they? My very own personal model's copy of CUMSLOPPY BUTTHOLES was stolen from me the DAY I RECEIVED IT FROM TREASURE ISLAND. Chip's doing very well, and he's great to work with. I don’t think I could have gotten Cre8tive Juices off the ground if it weren’t for him. After doing 7 movies for Chip, I just recently returned in front of his cameras for two projects. The first is a non-sex cameo in WILD RANGERS 3: HOT ON HIS TAIL! and the other being THE SEAN STORM COLLECTORS EDITION, where I introduce the footage. He and I know each other so well that when we do any kind of shooting any more, it's pretty effortless because we are so in tune with what the other is thinking.
N: Will we be seeing more of you from Centaur?
S: I am pretty sure you will. He says he would love to use me again, especially now that I have a more mature look going on. It opens up new doors for me, though I doubt I will do any topping. I like to fuck, but it stresses me out too much to stay hard.
N: Tell me about Cre8tive Juices? How did that come about?
S: I incorporated Cre8tive Juices back in November of 2004 and we released our first feature, DIRECT DEPOSIT in March of this year. I originally co-produced my first bareback movie, STORM DRAIN, with Helix Studios in early 2004. I had been promised creative control over the final edit, but wasn’t happy when a scene that I did not want included in the movie appeared in the final edit anyway. That, and that I didn’t really own any of that company led me to investigate starting up my own company - one that I would profit off all titles released (not just the ones I was in), and that I would have full creative control over. Helix Studios is doing great, and I don’t have any ill-feelings toward them at all. But from a business standpoint, it just made more sense to have my own place to call home.
N: Saw “Direct Deposit”. Wow! That’s all I can say. What you got planned for Cre8tive Juices in the future?
S: I am really glad you enjoyed THE STORM CHRONICLES: EPISODE 1: DIRECT DEPOSIT. We have seven films planned for the STORM CHRONICLES series, and footage for the next two episodes is already in the can. The next episode is HOLE MILK, followed by STORM SURGE. These movies are bareback and with plot. We are also working on our first all-sex bareback line. Some of the models who have shot for us include Ben Archer, Brad McGuire and Drew Peters. I am most proud of a scene we just shot between Brad McGuire and Drew Peters. It's VERY HOT.
N: I love watching you act. I’m one of those who need a plot for my video. Ok, sometimes I need a plot, but if there is a plot, the performer better be able to act or I’m hitting my fast forward button. But, you can act. You’re actually even more adorable when you’re acting.
S: Thank you. Again, by having my own company, I can FINALLY explore the acting bug that I have had since I was a kid. I also have written short stories and plays ever since high school. So using THE STORM CHRONICLES as a platform to show off my writing and acting abilities is one of the best parts about this stage of my career.
N: Favorite color?
S: I like navy blue.
N: First time you fell in love? Can you talk about it?
S: I don't know if I ever really experienced what falling in love is like. I certainly love certain individuals, such as Chip. But our relationship is more spiritual than sexual these days. In fact, we don't even label it as boyfriends because that label just set us up for prey for people to try and tear apart. To tell you the truth, I don’t want to be in love with anyone right now. I am very focused on making the company a success, and enjoy having Chip as my pillar of support when I am blue. My two dogs make great companions, too. I am just very content with how things are going right now, that love isn’t really something I tend to think about.
N: Favorite movie?
S: I have tons of favorites. Here we go: Edward Scissorhands, An Officer and A Gentleman, Breakfast Club, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Titanic, Chicago.
N: What’s playing in your CD player these days?
S: It used to be a lot of dance music, but now that my party days seem to be behind me, I have been adding 80s treasures to my library. Just bought The Best of Erasure, and that’s what I have been listening to when I paint the sets for my Cre8tive Juice flicks.
N: I was looking for you at IML this year and you weren’t there. I don’t know when I’ll see you again. Maybe Folsom 2005?
S: I expect to be at IML for 2006, and maybe Folsom for 2006. But 2005 will be relatively uneventful in that I will be focusing more on getting product produced and released. I CANT WAIT TO SEE YOU AGAIN THOUGH! Our chat at the Raging Stallion GAY DREAMS 2 premiere party last year was much too short.
N: Know that I love you. Always have. Take care of yourself and thank you so much.
N: Stay in touch?
S: DEFINITELY. I would love that. If you need anything else, just ask. I consider you a friend and wish you success with your site.
