A Thing of Beauty: Part One (Colby Keller, Dale Cooper)
Download HD Video (255.8 MB)
Director's Note: Jake Jaxson and R.J. Sebastian here. We have been very open about what A Thing of Beauty means to us -- it is the very first of what we expect to be many collaborations with each other. In this series of short films, or what we call "erotic poems," we are deliberately connecting ourselves, our struggles, our love, and our sexual "beings" to our work. In this film, we embark with "the daily grind." It has caused more fights, upset, and tension in our 15-year relationship together than anything else. When allowed, the monotony of the everyday has become a slow poison and the tension and the daily polish is sand and water -- it erodes the land and turns mountains into hills. However, as in nature, water also gives us life and sand becomes glass, both helping us to see and live better lives. Pressure and upset will always exist, but we can just as lightly be in a place of peace, abundance, love, and connection. This became real to us when we were stuck in horrific traffic one morning and were beyond aggravated -- very first at the traffic, then at each other. As we were taking a back street to our office, we drove along side the gnarly, hellish Lengthy Island Expressway, and in all that rusty, distorted metal, it emerged to be smirking back at us -- even chortling at us! Now, whenever we go to work -- notably on bad days -- we always make sure to drive past the "laughing" bridge. And every time, we smirk back. Enjoy Always and Be Nice, Jake Jaxson & RJ Sebastian
