Gay cinema classic: Hustler White

Hustler White is a 1996 film by Bruce LaBruce and Rick Castro. It’s a satirical black sex comedy about gay hustlers and their customers on Santa Monica Boulevard in West Hollywood, California. It stars Tony Ward and LaBruce.

In a plot reminiscent of Sunset Boulevard, Hustler White transposes the action from the silver screen’s old movie backlots to contemporary male prostitution and the porn industry. Co-director Rick Castro cast real hustlers and his former models, including Tony Ward, as amateur actors.

Clips from the film

There's so many iconic scenes in this film. One of my favourites is when a young twink is gang-fucked by a room full of men. The twink is a rent-boy and his pager goes off in the middle of being dicked down.
