Episode 50

Hi,

Sorry it's taken me so long to put up a new episode. This one has taken me a while to process. I've also decided to get away from San Francisco for a while, so I'm going on the road. I'm not exactly sure where I'll end up, but I'm going to try and post episodes more frequently.

Thanks for watching,

Sully

DVD update

Thanks to everyone who asked for a DVD of ISLAND. I was really surprised by how many of you wanted to see it, and how much great feedback I got. Unfortunately, I'm not going to be sending out any more DVD's right now. I've been busy getting the rights to some of the music and footage that I've used in ISLAND because Paul wants to include it as a bonus feature in his next DVD, What I Can't See 3. I'll keep you all posted about the progress of it and when it should be coming out.

Thanks for watching,

Sully

What I've been working on...

I know some of you think I'm lazy, and maybe I am, but
I've been working on a more-or-less feature length version
of Island.

It's finally done. You can watch the intro if you go to
my "official" website. Just click on the link over there
on the right.

To thank you all for your patience in between my posts,
if you like what you see, I'll be happy to send you a copy
of the whole thing. It's a dvd that lasts around 70 minutes.

It's been crazy putting it together, kind of like a gigantic
jigsaw puzzle. I'm still not sure if it really works, but
I'm hoping some of you will watch it and send me comments.

A New Episode Posted

It's one of the oddest episodes, I think. And one of the
longest (nearly 10 minutes long).

It's posted in my main site (click on the link over
there to the right ---> ).

I just got word that I've been invited to show ISLAND
in a Berlin Adult Film Festival. I don't have any
information about it yet, but I'll post the details
once I get them.

I hope you guys are all enjoying Spring. Here
in SF it's been cold and wet but really
beautiful.

Photos of a Martial Artist

I was in New York for a week, but am back and working on a series
of new "Island" episodes. The first will be going up this coming
Tuesday.

In the meantime, here are stills from another photo shoot that I
did with Paul Morris.

The model was a very interesting man. He's extremely tall (at least 6' 4").
He towered over me.

In addition to martial arts, he also does tattoos. He
did all of his own tattoos (including the tattoos that
cover his cock).

Here are three photos I took of him:





And here are two photos that Paul took of the same man:

Photos of a Restaurant Worker

A few weeks ago I shot some photos with Paul of a guy who
works at a fancy restaurant down in Palo Alto, a town south
of San Francisco.

Here are a couple of photos I took of him:


And here are two photos that Paul took of the same guy:

Photos of Jess

Paul often hires guys so we can photograph them. I've lost
count of the number of men we've shot, but it's usually
one or two a week.

First Paul takes shots of the model. Then he hands
the camera to me and I shoot for a while. Sometimes
Nick or Elliott take a few shots, but only if
they're interested in the model. At the end of the
shoot, Paul always takes a few more shots, but only
two or three.

I've decided to start posting some of my photos here.
These are a few shots I took this week of a guy named
Jess.

To give you a feel for our different styles, I'm also
posting a photo of Jess by Paul and a photo of him
taken by Nick.

Hope you like them!

A new post called "Irony"

I've posted a new episode, a brief one called
"Irony". It's kind of different from other
posts I've done.

You can see it by clicking on the link to my
main site, over there on the right.

Hope you like it!

Sully

ps: to the really cool guys who wrote to me,
yeah, I'm pretty surprised that guys get
so upset. But like one poster said, it's
probably a good sign that the episodes are
thought-provoking!

New Episode Posted!

I've posted a brand-new episode on the main site
(the link is over there to the right --> )

Paul has a new obsession, a powerlifter
he photographed this week. Apparently
I'm going to be videotaping the powerlifter
during one of his work-outs.

I'm not that familiar with gym culture
(I've never worked out in my life), but
this should be pretty interesting.

That'll probably be the focus of my
next episode.

Thanks to all of you who've written to me.
I'm seriously grateful that you take the
time to watch the stuff I'm making and
give me great criticism and comments.
It means a lot to me.

I hope you like the new episode!

Sully

The new episode is posted

I've (finally) posted a new episode. It's on the official
site (click on the link over there on the right).

I'm going to Las Vegas this weekend with Paul, Nick and
Elliott. I'm hoping to shoot a lot of "behind the scenes"
footage for next week's episode.

My apologies to everyone for not responding to the comments,
here and on the main site. I read them all, actually,
every day. It means a lot to me that guys take
the time to tell me what they think, even if it's
negative. But I never seem to respond to them.
Honestly, I'm just not good at
that.

It's cool that Jay saw me on the street. I do live in the
Haight. If you see me around town, definitely say hello.
It'd be fun to meet some of you guys.

Anyway, I hope you like the new episode.

New Episode (on my main site)

I finally finished a new episode. I don't
know why I'm so damned slow. My apologies
to anyone who is watching. My plan is to
get one done per week.

That's also what Paul wants, so that's
what'll happen. He isn't exactly a tyrant,
I guess, but he has a way of making you
want to do things, and do them well.

So if you click on the link over there
on the right, it'll take you to the
other site.

Thanks for your patience, and
thanks to all of you who wrote comments
or emails to me. I'm an idiot about
responding, so I'm sorry about that!

And yes, I'm drinking a lot more these
days. I think that's just part of living
in San Francisco. People here take drinking
very seriously.

The new episode: Fire and Ice

I'm an idiot at tech stuff. I've tried to post the new episode here,
but it's apparently too long for the blog site.

It's nearly 10 minutes long and I guess that's too much for
this blog site.

I've posted it at the other website for ISLAND that the
guys at TIM have started for me.

You can check it out at

http://www.ryansullivanisland.com/

It's a spiffy site. It has a picture of me at the top.
I didn't put the picture there, but I'm ok with it.

Sorry this one took so long to post (and to make!).
I'll get the next one out quicker.

I got into a Croation film festival

I got some good news last week: Island was accepted into a film festival
in Zagreb.

I'll be honest. I couldn't remember exactly where Zagreb was.

Here's a map:



Here's the flag of Croatia. It's red, white and blue.



Here's a guy fishing somewhere in Croatia. It looks like a cool place.


I don't know for sure if I'll be able to, but I'm going to try to go to the festival
myself. It could be amazing.

Also, I'll have a new episode ready in one or two days. I'm working on it right now.
Thanks for your patience!

Here's a photo that Elliott took of me while I was reading a text that
the German producer sent to Paul. It's about...well, it's about all
kinds of things. More on that later. I think I'm supposed to
work on it.

Episode #45: The Swimmer (1' 55")

First off, thanks to everyone who left the amazing notes and
sent me some really wonderful emails. They meant a lot
to me and I'm very grateful.


It's been a rough couple of weeks. I decided to take this week
off. I'd had enough of porn, of sex, of family.

I'm alone for the week until I go back to work on Monday. I've
been wandering around San Francisco, keeping to myself.

I went to City Lights Books. The guy behind the counter
told me to buy a book of short stories by John Cheever.

I'm not sure why, but the story that hit me was 'The Swimmer'.
If you want to read it, here's where you can find the whole thing
online. You could probably read it in 15 minutes.

I hope this episode isn't too strange. I needed a break
from everything.

Episode #44: "More important things" (5' 48")

I watched the video Paul made, an interview
with John.

Paul says that John wanted me to see it all.

I decided to shoot the scene. I wanted the
chance to see him, even if he wouldn't see me.

Episode #43: Key West (3' 25")

This week has been intense. I'm dealing with it
all and decided to do it in two episodes.

Here's the first.

ryansullivanid@gmail.com

Episode #42: The Bridge (3' 21")

Paul was furious with the guys in casting for giving me
pictures of John.

Paul said "I don't give a damn whose
brother he is. Respect the model's privacy. That comes
before anything else."

They got a hell of a lecture.

Episode #41: ... (3' 05")

I guess I sort of thought this might be coming. Maybe
I'm surprised it took this long.

Picture of me

Here's a picture of me that Elliott Wilder took the other day. I was standing in
for a photo model who didn't show up, doing Paul a favor.

Three guys ended up taking my picture. Paul, Elliott and Nick.

Given that I'd just posted an episode with photos that Paul and I take,
I thought it was only fair that I post one that got taken of me.

It was strange being on the other side of the camera. I have
to admit I didn't especially like it.

Makes me appreciate what it's like!

Episode #40: Our Nude Photos (1' 56")

Paul Morris loves taking photos of nude men. He'll
often hire men to pose nude, usually at the end
of the day.

Lately he's been inviting me to join him in these
photo sessions. I really enjoy them. And I think
my photos of men are very different from
his photos of men.
