Hands Solo
The blurb: What if a Deaf man became an internationally famous adult film star, all because he’s very very good with his hands? Hands Solo is a short comedy mockumentary about one lucky person who makes it to the top.
This is a very funny short film with a heart of gold. Sure, it’s not very accurate when it comes to depicting what actually happens in porn but I can forgive that because it explores something we need to celebrate more in porn: hand jobs for women! Imagine if the focus of porn was always the woman’s orgasm, as it is in this universe? And bonus points for having a deaf protagonist as well.
