Michael Stabile – director – Seed Money: The Chuck Holmes Story

FRED’s Francesco Belais interviews Michael Stabile, director of the feature documentary Seed Money: The Chuck Holmes Story from the 30th Torino Gay and Lesbian Film Festival.

Seed Money: The Chuck Holmes Story is the story of gay culture and fashion, changing of habits, from the ’70s to the ’90s through the story of the life of Chuck Holmes, teh creator of Falcon, the first gay porno production.

SEED MONEY: THE CHUCK HOLMES STORY: Seed Money is the story of Chuck Holmes, a San Francisco pornographer turned philanthropist.

Holmes helped shaped and create gay identity in the years after Stonewall, and became a founder of gay advocacy groups like the Human Rights Campaign and the LGBT Victory Fund, only to find later in life that while his money was welcome in philanthropic circles, he wasn’t.
