DeAngelo Jackson's porn doc wins for "Best Documentary"

Being Black in Porn

DeAngelo Jackson's Being Black In Porn just won the Best Documentary award at the Lightbox International Film Festival, designed to celebrate films that offer a unique perspective on the world.

“I want to thank everyone involved in this project and Lightbox for accepting our feature into their international festival and honoring us with the Best Documentary award,” said Being Black in Porn director, Dwight Allen O’Neal. “What a wonderful way to celebrate the 1-year mark for the feature, from trailer release to now being a multi-award-winning Best Documentary! Our hope is that our documentary creates a better understanding of gay, BIPOC sex workers and sends a message to everyone that Black Lives Matter everywhere and within every industry.”

The doc, narrated by Jackson, explores the lives and experiences of four gay men of color -- Jackson, Dillion Diaz, Max Konnor, and Rock Rockafella -- who work in the industry.

They examine inequality and racism and being paid less than their white counterparts.

“I’m humbled and beyond grateful for the film’s continued positive recognition," explained. This being our second ‘Best Documentary’ award is unexpected and inspiring. Thank you to Lightbox for this honor,” added DeAngelo Jackson.

“I appreciate Dillion Diaz, Max Konnor and Rock Rockafella for agreeing to be a part of this project, along will all who spoke their truth for our documentary. What a dream to know it’s reaching an international audience.”

Congrats!
