His critically-acclaimed first feature film, CARBUNCLE, was nominated for Best Feature Film at the Milan Film Festival and hailed as “wonderfully eccentric” by Films In Re¬view.

His short film phenomenon PORNOGRAPHIC APATHETIC played at film festivals and art museums around the world from 2003 until 2019. The Los Angeles Times said, “The piece makes you laugh while illustrating one of the paradoxes of smut: At its core, it’s rather idiotic and boring.” The film became the most viewed film on Atom.com, which was later acquired by Comedy Central.
His controversial 2006 film FILTHY FOOD received the award for Best Experimental Short film at CineKink NYC, screened at numerous film festivals and was licensed for French television by Canal+. Filthy Food was also banned for 12 years in Italy and Korea, and was censored at the former AFI Dallas Film Festival.

RTALIN & JorgeTheObscene
Country: GermanyRTalin was a queer music producer, actor and performer based in Berlin. He met JorgeTheObscene at the ends of 2018, in the toilet-dancefloor of an (in)famous trashera party; after Jorge giving him a blowjob—so good, deep and performative that people around them celebrated it—he offered him to be part of the casting in his first film as a Director: “The MultiVerse in a MouthFuck”, which was gonna be shot just a couple of weeks after. RTalin accepted, being this film his first experience in porn; and he loved it! Then, together they protagonized “Fisherman” by Nicky Miller, and collaborated in a few other films before co-directing “Ghost Song: Director`s Cut”, which was premiered at the Berlin Porn Film Festival 2023. RTalin passed away right after, in December that year.
