Playboy Magazine called Pat Rocco the “King of the Nudies”, but Rocco was much more than an erotic filmmaker. He was an activist, artist and hopeless romantic. Rocco sold his all-nude male films in the backs of local papers till a film festival screened his films making him an instant hit. Rocco continued to pump out more films pushing new boundaries with each one. In A Very Special Friend Rocco dared to screen the first kiss between two men ever seen on a big theatre screen. Artistic, erotic, and highly romanticized, his films were controversial not for their explicitness but rather their bold political and artistic expression. Pat Rocco Dared brings you up close and personal with the man and his films.
