Synopsis

With the ubiquitous presence of reality television and voyeur cams, the savvy viewer might wonder: Why do these people agree to be public spectacles? RADD, a quartet of LA-based producers, spent 4 weeks documenting the lives of 10 subjects, trying to determine why these men were willing to share their most intimate and mundane experiences with the world. Among the more poignant vignettes are those of Dad, a has-been porn star who discusses his ongoing issues with his molestation; bisexual Zach, whose life is slowly being consumed by the pregnancy of his girlfriend; a male prostitute named Matt whose only outlet for his affections are his pet mice; and Cory and Cody, twin brothers battling drug addictions and dark sexual practices. These are men who might live their lives in front of the camera, but who keep their feelings deep within. Slowly, it becomes apparent that what these men have in common is their desire to open themselves up completely, in both a physical and psychological sense.
