Title: First-time filmmaker tries to tackle enormously complex subject
Review: This is the director's, Bryce Wagoner's, first film. In fact, this is his first time working on any film. Until now, he was working at a bar and voice-acting in several video games.After Porn Ends has the look and feel of something a first-time filmmaker would create. Wagoner picked a sexy, attention-gathering topic and then he treated the enormous complexities with something that looks straight out of a film school textbook that he skimmed. You are unlikely to get much out of it unless you want a Where-Are-They-Now of porn actresses.For a look at the porn industry that is surprising, insightful, and mature, check out David Foster Wallace's essay "Big Red Son" which appears in his bookConsider the Lobster and Other Essays.
