cumcumcumcumcum everybody
2020 Adults 1 min
by Peter Millard
When i lived in Montreal it was the first time id seen adult cinemas around in years (there was one really close to my studio at the time), an would often see guys when walking past go in there hiding there faces in shame, when it really shouldn’t be like that. i asked a few people i know over the last year about how they would feel about masterbating with other guys or having group sex when other guys are involved, an some had very angry hateful homophobic reactions to it which took me back a bit. so i made a animation celebrating that when it comes to any sexual fun your into or curious about, if it feels good between everyone who’s involved, do it and have a good time.

Guff Maturity
2020 16+ 1 min
by Peter Millard
You know, I’ve got to the age where I want to settle down and stop jumping from relationship to relationship every few weeks, but everyone I meet is so immature which I thought wouldn’t be the case now. Know what I mean? What do you do for a job? Ah no way! I love animation! That’s so interesting! Anything I’ve seen? I’ve always wondered what it would be like to be an animator! Bet it’s so fun. I think Pixar is my favourite, that film with the cars is just so dam funny! And Shrek! I almost forget that’s animation, just amazing how people come up with this stuff and make those characters so believable! Is that the sort of stuff you do? Can I see?
