Man Up

Man Up features great chemistry between Jock type guys and twinks. I think you'll agree this combination of an older jock type guy and a younger twink really adds flavor to the scenes. While there is no music in the scenes, this is no silent film by any means. This was the first time in a very long time that the chemistry was hot in every scene, with great expression and emotions from the guys. Things start off with Cliff Jensen and Brycen Cox. This was my first time working with both of these actors. Both, which were jaw dropping from the get go. There was a moment where Cliff just picked Brycen up like he was nothing and threw him on the bed. It was something he just did, which was great. These scenes aren't about the directing, but the natural chemistry these guys had with each other. We had a great time filming, and am only looking forward to working more with this combination of guys.

Directed by Afton Nills, Man Up leans on a strong ensemble — Ashton Rush, Brycen Cox, Cliff Jensen — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2011.
