    • Trivia
      In a 2017 interview, Zefrey Throwell was asked how he felt about sharing his deeply intimate film with a public audience. He said: "Did your mother ever catch you masturbating? I remember once when I was 13 and I was in the thick of it. I couldn't touch myself enough. I remember she just came in the room, and why I pulled the sheet back. Who knows, right? I was really in the moment. It was dark, and she opened the door, and the light shoots through. It was like a goddamn B-movie that highlights me jerking off. I was just like, 'AAAAH!' She didn't say anything. She just looked at me and went 'huh' and shut the door and never talked about it. This is what I feel like that film is for me, that moment of 'AAAH!'
