Fred Halsted "Two Films"
Light Industry
This event has ended.
Born in Long Beach in 1941 and raised all over the state of California, Fred Halsted rarely left his adopted city of Los Angeles. Capturing the city as few other films could, L.A. Plays Itself (1972), Halsted’s first film, has come to be regarded as a classic within the genre of gay porn. Its images of beautiful young men in sylvan Malibu Canyon and boy hustlers on the mean streets of Hollywood gained for Halsted the kind of celebrity than simply isn’t possible today. Fred Halsted never held a regular job; he didn’t teach; he had no gallery representation; he had no agent; he didn’t shoot commercials or advertising campaigns; he didn’t even have a social security number. He made films and performed in them, published a magazine (Package), ran a sex club (Halsted’s), and became a legendary sex radical and provocateur.
