CRIMSON ECSTASY PRODUCTIONS
The Obscene Archive of Forgotten Pleasures
"Cinema is not merely an art form - it is my autobiography written in flesh and shadow. Every frame contains a fragment of my soul, every edit a heartbeat, every scene a confession the audience is privileged to witness."
- Astarion Ancunín, from his upcoming memoir "Reflected in Crimson: The Art of Self-Realization Through Erotic Cinema"
NEW EXCLUSIVE RELEASE
"ABSOLUTE CINEMA: THE ASTARION CHRONICLES"
Astarion's autobiographical magnum opus - a film about himself making a film about himself making films. Features a Russian doll structure of nested realities: the original film, the documentary about making the original film, and the biopic recreating both.
"I'm not merely documenting my life - I'm transcending conventional narrative. This film exists at the intersection of memoir, meta-fiction, and the sublime erotic. Like Damiano's 'Deep Throat' revolutionized the genre by introducing plot to pornography, I intend to revolutionize it again by introducing meta-narrative complexity."
- Astarion Ancunín
POPULAR RELEASES
Nocturnal Emissions
A surreal, oneiric descent into lust, memory, and bodily possession. A nameless sleeper is trapped in an endless dream sequence, seduced by spectral lovers, shadow-figures, and possibly herself.
"It's not a film. It's a wet hallucination left to ferment."
The Moan Architect
An architect designs a mansion with no exits and hires six strangers to live inside. 90 minutes of fevered hallucinations, soft-focus orgies, and whispered French existentialism. No two people have seen the same version.
"A sex-drenched riddle, wrapped in sweat, whispered by regret."
Velvet Hunger: The Uncut Gospel
A bisexual saint is hunted by masked inquisitors through a labyrinthine monastery turned brothel. It's part giallo, part erotic passion play, part incoherent séance. There is a goat. It may be a metaphor.
"The rare adult film that might actually save your soul while corrupting it."
STUDIO NEWS
Production Begins: ABSOLUTE CINEMA — The Astarion Chronicles
Lights. Blood. Action.
We are ecstatic (and lightly delirious) to announce an unprecedented multi-layer documentary project chronicling the creation of Astarion's self-referential revolutionary magnum opus.
Written, directed, narrated, styled, and scored by Astarion himself, this cinematic manifesto will explore art, desire, power, narcissism, legacy, mirrors, leather, and the unbearable burden of being extremely watchable.
The documentary team has been granted unprecedented access to all areas of production, with the sole exception of Astarion's personal dressing room between the hours of 3 and 4 AM, which he describes as his “vulnerability hour” and refuses to elaborate further on.

“Cinema dies. We just f** the corpse.”
Things Beneath the Velvet: A Whispered Inventory
A gentle reminder to our followers: if you felt something shift in your sleep last Thursday, that was us. The Vault has been reopened for cataloguing, and several “lost” reels have been accounted for - though some were found pulsing, and one appears to be alive.
The cataloguing process, overseen by our archivist Gale, has uncovered several fragments of unreleased material dating back to Astarion's earliest experimental period. These include a controversial three-hour “breathing study” featuring seven models simply existing in a candle-lit space, and the legendary missing scenes from “Velvet Hunger” that were reportedly too intense even for our most dedicated audience.
“The Vault has yielded treasures beyond my wildest expectations,” Gale wrote in his daily log. “We've discovered an entire subseries of what Astarion refers to as his 'Nocturnes' - short, intensely intimate vignettes shot on expired 16mm film stock that seems to have developed sentience during storage.”
We’ve also discovered a draft script scrawled across thirteen bar napkins titled “Tender Organs, Vol. I”. Authorship: unknown. Content: unspeakable. We’ve greenlit it.
Thank you for your continued obsession.
Remember: nothing you see on our sets is ever entirely staged.

“We don’t film nightmares. We collaborate with them.”
The Emissions Return: Unearthed, Unrated, Unrepentant
We are thrilled, aroused, and mildly legally compromised to announce that Nocturnal Emissions will be screened once again this year-one night only, unmarked location, whispered invitation only. If you know, you know. If you don't… dream harder.
The 35mm reels have been recovered from their vault (which doubled as an ex-lover’s mausoleum) and the restoration process is underway. Expect blood smudges, deliberate damage, and several frames the editors swear weren’t in the original cut. One reel reportedly groans when handled. We take this as a good sign.
As always, we remain devoted to our vision:
Excess. Ecstasy. Enigma.
And maybe a little softcore possession.
Stay tuned. Or don’t. It’ll find you either way.

“Cinema for the damned and the divine.”
ASTARION'S CREW
ASTARION
Director, Visionary, Genius
Astarion doesn’t make films - he orchestrates visions. Each production is a lavish descent into erotic delirium, wrapped in velvet, soaked in metaphor, and lit like a Renaissance painting gone feral. He demands everything from his cast — blood, sweat, ecstasy — and gives them back immortality on screen.
Impossible to work with. Irresistible to follow.
“Make love to the lens, darling. The audience is begging to be ruined.”
Karlach
Gaffer / Key Grip / Set Technician / Pyro Consultant
Muscle, heart, and fire. Built half the set out of stolen theater scraps and pure willpower. If it lights up, moves, or nearly kills you, Karlach touched it. Perpetually draped in cables and running on a dangerous mixture of energy drinks and sheer force of will. Can fix anything with duct tape, WD-40, and terrifying competence.
“I didn't blow it up. It exploded on its own. That’s different.”
Gale
Assistant Director / Line Producer / Accountant
Half sage, half stage mom. Keeps track of time, budget, and what little remains of anyone’s sanity. Writes dramatic voiceovers for scenes no one asked for. Hates his spreadsheet. Hates loving it.
“The boundary between pornography and philosophy is merely a construct of repressed minds. Both seek to unveil truth through physical exploration.”
Tav
Director of Photography / Camera Operator / Lighting Supervisor
The calm eye in the storm of sex, smoke, and glitter. Runs on burnt coffee and deadpan stares. Has learned to adjust ISO, white balance, and personal expectations at the speed of chaos. Has seen things. Framed them beautifully. And enjoying every absurd minute. Can balance a 20-pound camera rig on one shoulder while flipping off Astarion with her free hand.
“Is this art? Is this porn? Does it matter? I just hit record.”
Shadowheart
Head of Makeup & Wardrobe / Style Supervisor
If you look hot and haunted, it's her doing. If you look like a cryptid in lace - also her doing. Runs the only organized kit on set. Manages latex, lace, and latex stuck to lace. Judging everyone silently, while powdering genitals with divine detachment.
“My palettes range from 'midnight abyss' to 'darkest void.' There are seventy-eight distinct shades of darkness, and I use them all.”
Wyll
Sound Engineer / Noise Suppression Specialist / Ethics Committee
Carries a boom mic like a crusader. Censors breathy noises like a man possessed. Has PTSD from that one shoot involving syrup, stilts, and a haunted synth score.
“Please, I’m begging you: no more chains on tile floors.”
Lae'zel
Intimacy Coordinator / Stunt Safety / Legal Consultant
No one gets naked without her say-so. She runs the consent meetings like battlefield briefings. You’ll know the rules. You’ll fear the clipboard.
“Touch them without consent again, and I’ll staple your NDA to your forehead.”
ABOUT THE STUDIO
Crimson Ecstasy Productions emerged from Astarion's vision to transform adult cinema into legitimate art, reviving the artistic approach of 1970s erotic auteurs. Headquartered in a deconsecrated Gothic revival cathedral (acquired through means that studio lawyers have advised us not to disclose), our production house has quickly gained notoriety for pushing boundaries between the erotic and the existential.
Our aesthetic philosophy centers on what Astarion calls “The Crimson Principle” - the belief that true desire exists in the tension between fear and fascination. All our films explore this delicate balance, creating experiences that are simultaneously arousing and unnerving.
The studio facility features custom-designed soundstages, a proprietary lighting system that took three electrical engineers six months to perfect, and the largest collection of artisanal candles. Our fire insurance premiums alone account for 18% of our annual operating budget.
Visitors frequently remark on the building's unusual ambiance, described variously as “seductively oppressive,” “gothically arousing,” and “like being inside a sensual panic attack.” Tours are available by appointment, though all guests must sign extensive liability waivers and are advised not to wear synthetic fabrics due to the proximity of open flames.
