Austin King and Jay David recap the second annual PornCrush Media Day, an invite-only networking event held this past Sunday at a stunning home in the Los Angeles hills. The two break down the vibe, the venue, the photographers, the directors, and the performers, and why Austin considers it his favorite event of the year.
The guys dig into the mission behind the day: putting new and rising performers in front of trusted photographers, directors, and media in a relaxed, no-pressure setting, while mixing in established stars to add star power and credibility.
They cover the standout photographers, including Dean Capture, Jeff Koga, Gustavo Turner, Rick Garcia, and Morbid Thoughts, the star-studded director turnout, a strong trans-performer showing, the sponsors and swag, and the rising names to watch, including Luna Columbiana, Delilah Dagger, Mira Luv, and Mia River.
The episode closes with talk of what could be fine-tuned next time and a look ahead to a possible PornCrush pool party.
Press play and join us.
