Interesting facts

Boys in the Sand is a landmark American gay pornographic film, released early in the Golden Age of Porn. The 1971 film was directed by Wakefield Poole and stars Casey Donovan. It was the first gay porn film to include credits and to be reviewed by the film industry journal Variety, and one of the earliest porn films to gain mainstream credibility and attention, after Andy Warhol's 1969 film Blue Movie, but preceding 1972's Deep Throat.

Production

Wakefield Poole was inspired to make the film after he went with some friends to see a film titled Highway Hustler. After watching the film, he said to a friend "This is the worst, ugliest movie I've ever seen! Somebody oughta be able to do something better than this." Poole stated "I wanted [to make] a film that gay people could look at and say 'I don't mind being gay - it's beautiful to see those people do what they're doing.'" Having enlisted…

The success of that initial shoot convinced Poole to plan two more segments and seek theatrical distribution for the completed work. He hired Tommy Moore and Casey Donovan for the third segment, Inside. When Fisk's scene partner from Bayside heard about the potential distribution deal, he refused to sign release forms until he was guaranteed 20% of the profits. Instead, Poole decided to scrap the segment and re-shoot with Fisk and Donovan.
