The first time that I watched Fuck Yeah Levi Karter I didn’t know what to expect. I was excited for a new Levi scene and as I pushed play I expected it to be similar to what I had already come to love about him and Cockyboys. However, as I pushed play and watched him do flips on the screen that every so slowly turned to him having phone sex I knew it was going to be something special. After the disco like entry I realized just how different it was going to be. I smiled and cried as I watched it, especially knowing some of the moments first hand.
Since that day I have watched it numerous times, both in full and bits and pieces. I never thought that it would be featured at any type of festival. I had wished that I could make it to Berlin Porn Festival, but couldn’t so when I heard that it was going to be featured at the NYC Porn Festival I jumped on the chance to see Levi’s creative work on a huge screen!
The night began with a bus and subway ride from New Jersey to Secret Project Robot in Brooklyn where the filming was being held. When Chris and I came off the subway we were in a deserted area, the only lights that drew any attention were the two police cars down the street. As we started to walk down the road we realized that those cars were outside the venue, a precaution for any protesters to the festival.
After getting into the patio part we found a small bar serving drinks and Porn dogs with your choice of special sauces! Inside the venue Yaoi Anime was still playing. It was a full house as the anime played on the large wall. I took a watch before going into a smaller room to say hello to Jake Jaxson, RJ, Hugo, Liam and of course Levi! The smaller bar in the room had both porn inspired drinks such as BEAR and MILF and treats in the shape of cocks, tits and more!
The filmed ended shortly after and the crowd was released so they could set up the room for the screening of FYLK. I took this chance to say hello to Dillon Rossi and finally meet Levi Michaels. We had a chance to talk about the anime film and how it was a little weird for them to watch it with a packed crowd and still get a reaction!
While chatting with them I ran into Cilantro, Tayte Hanson, and some of the other fan girls. The patio bar was packed as everyone took a few minutes between showings. I was able to meet Brian from BCALLA and talk with him for a minute about his video that he did with Cockyboys. It was shortly after that when the door to go back inside was opened and the crowd started filing in to see Levi’s film.
The crowd that had gathered to see Fuck Yeah Levi Karter was quite varied, I didn’t realize until then that I expected to see mostly 20 year old gay boys there! I was happy to see the variety of people who came out to watch this film. It is, after all, about more than just sex. As the time got closer I watched as Levi bounced around with both nerves and excitement. Finally, Levi and Jake made their way to the front of the room and onto the stage.
