3 Reasons To buy this film

An unusually well crafted film, filled with cinematic flourishes, vivid cinematography and exotic settings.
Don't believe the anti-porn theme; the drama is engulfed in lurid sexuality.
The director has made several high-end gay porn films - but has graduated to feature filmmaking.

Review

Belying its low budget, first-time film director Ian Powell has created a moody, at times creepy, very sexy and intensely atmospheric thriller about a young male prostitute haunted by nightmares which may very well come true.

When you are beautiful, someone is always trying to use you or do you harm. Such is the belief of Paul, a young escort who is desired by everyone. Paul has no problem selling his body to the highest bidder, as long as they also take his other unusual gift – that is, when having sex, Paul has visions of his long-lost twin brother, visions that are eerily transferred to the clients.

When not tricking, the unhappy Paul searches for his brother who was separated from him when he was a young child. Through a series of chance encounters Paul meets Baxter, a porn director wanting to break into cross-over films. Since Paul thinks his brother may be working in the Adult Film Industry, he agrees to do a porn film if Baxter in turn helps him find his brother. But his entry into this world becomes more and more intense and potentially dangerous as sexual excesses, nightmarish visions and the possible redemptive powers of love overwhelm him.

Seeing Heaven is a captivating, low-budget commentary on the British escort/porn industry as well as a 21st century variation of Dorian Gray.

Beautifully filmed. Well acted. When you get to the end of film and the protagonist's mystery is resolved, we're given the message: no porn is good porn but barebacking is really and truly evil. Some people will agree. Other people's heads will explode. Watch and decide for yourself.

“Seeing Heaven”
A Journey
Amos Lassen
Paul is a good-looking young escort who has strange dreams that he does not understand at all. His clients share his dreams and this scares him as well as excites him, Paul once had a twin brother that he has not seen since they were both children. He is desired by many but he is lost. He agrees to do a porn film with director John Baxter and this supposedly will help him find himself and his twin brother. However Paul is on a dark journey and some of his clients are quite dangerous there is a rival producer who has no scruples and plenty of unsafe sex. He may find himself but he also could destroy who he is in the process. In this cycle of porn and prostitution, there is a lot of sex which in some cases is too much for Paul’s clients and Paul feels that sex is the way to self fulfillment. He becomes a mystery not only to us but to himself.
The film is now on the festival circuit but we should have it soon on DVD. It is certainly timely and one of the films that must be seen to be believed.
