It’s Complicated

Can you make porn with your ex? What does sex between exes look like? What happens when two sex workers / porn performers with incredible chemistry agree to pair up one more time on camera?

KAy Garnellen and Sadie Lune were partners and collaborators on porn projects and they also co-parent. Their relationship ended before this scene was shot in Berlin. They agreed to perform together for Bright Desire and they were also interviewed after their scene. The result is an erotic documentary that challenges ideas about relationships and gender. It also offers an honest look at some of the politics of sex work.

The sex scene itself is rather epic, with a lot of playful laughter, fingering and fisting, oral sex and several glorious orgasms, including one of Sadie’s signature loud climaxes.

Sadie is an artist and porn performer originally from the US. She lives and works in Berlin. Transman GAy Garnellan is also an artist and performer, previously from France.

From Bright Desire: “This documentary explores the blurry line between performance and reality and the complicated interaction between sex work and relationships. It intercuts an interview with the performers with explicit footage of their scene.”

Bright Desire has the full short film and an extended version of the scene.
