I went on a US tour, released two albums and many other free singles, had the music video for my song “Mistfits” debut on Paper Magazine, I directed and edited the video for my last single “Full Blown Panic Attack”, I was featured on an MTV list for queer musicians, I have also had features on New Now Next and World of Wonder, I also had the pleasure of playing Fallapalooza, which was a music fest curated by The Tonight Show. Stose today with the Chris Porter’sex appeal still in effect.When it comes to my music specifically, I have just been working non-stop. It also pushed me to get involved in activism here in our country, with the amount of corruption and injustice in our own country, it’s hard to duck the feeling of being helpless, but getting out on the streets and letting your voice be heard is a critical necessity. My time spent in these two countries manifested my “Civil Disobedience” EP. Experiencing what had happened in these countries was a truly eye-opening experience, these people were tired of corruption and injustice, so they did something about it. While living overseas, we were able to spend time in Egypt, which had just gone through a revolution, Arab Spring.
As you may know, 2012 was not a great time for Greece, so my citizenship never got processed. My father is from Greece and all of my family on his side still lives there, the hope was to get my citizenship so that we could continue to live and work in Europe. We spent most of 2012 living in Greece, where I was attempting to get my citizenship. Since leaving the industry I have shifted my focus back to music and writing, two things that I spent all my time doing before. “Civil Disobedience” from Stose - aka Chris Porter Chris Porter, where are you now? Jack Shamama and Tim Valenti were really great to work with and I can’t thank them enough for giving me the opportunities they did. From being their first exclusive to being able to work on a project as fresh and creative as Golden Gate, it included many of the highlights from my time spent in the industry. My time spent with Naked Sword was incredible. Golden Gate was a great experience and I loved being a part of it. How was it being associated with the Golden Gate franchise from the very beginning? That opportunity made me really realize how much I enjoyed being behind the camera. Tony DiMarco saw some pictures and video I would take behind the scenes on different shoots, and he gave me the opportunity to work second camera on a few different shoots. I had taken filmmaking classes in the past and made movies, but never really pursued that avenue outside of schooling. He spotted my interest in moving from in front of the camera to behind it. Additionally, Tony DiMarco was great to work with and inspired me a lot. As for directors, Erik Rhodes was incredible to work with. Off the top of my head, some of my favorite co-stars were Colby Keller, Derek Atlas, Damien Crosse, and Conner Habib. I was lucky enough to be paired up with a lot of great scene partners. Who were your favorite co-stars, directors? And most importantly, the industry brought me together with a man that I fell in love with and have spent the last six years of my life with.Ĭhris w/ Donny Wright & Brad Star in “Golden Gate” Season One Additionally, other great moments included events such as presenting at the Grabbys and the countless appearances I had the privilege of doing that took me all over the world and introduced me to so many great people. He was a truly incredible person that I miss a lot. Over the course of that eight hour scene, Erik and I bonded over music and overall outlook on life and the friendship that came from that is something I will never take for granted. There was my first time working for Falcon, where I got to be in a scene directed by Erik Rhodes. There were many great moments which makes it difficult to choose just one.
There were definitely highs and lows when it came to working in the porn industry, but I think the highs clearly outweighed the lows. “Depths of Desire” Part 1, directed by Erik Rhodes & starring Chris Porter Best memory for your time in the industry? It didn’t feel like work because we were having such a good time. But the scene I did with Damien Crosse was one of those rare scenes where the chemistry was actually there and we just kept going even after the director would cut. It was filmed in Sonoma, where we stayed in this incredible house on a vineyard for about a week. Looking back, what’s the scene you loved filming the most?Ĭhris Porter / Stose: Thank you for asking, I’m glad to do it! I think the scene I had the most fun filming was the scene I did with Damien Crosse for “Drenched in Piss County”. The Sword: Chris, we’re really excited to catch up with you, thank you for your time.
