Now you can help back the Michael Stabile‘s upcoming film Seed Money: The Chuck Holmes Story. A documentary that tells the story of Falcon Studios‘ founder Check Holmes. You can pledge as little as a buck. "Chuck Holmes built a gay porn empire, then used that fortune to help fund the gay rights movement -- only to find that while his money was welcome, his association often wasn't."
"Using his Falcon fortune, Chuck gave millions to organizations like the HRC, the Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund, to politicians like Barney Frank and Bill Clinton, to the AIDS Memorial Grove. Chuck quietly worked to reshape the gay movement from liberation to lobbying, from hippies to political action committees, from outsiders to insiders. But despite the money and the philanthropy, Chuck himself never quite fit in himself. Though he was a prodigious philanthropist, he always feared that his 'dirty money' would be returned. And sometimes he was right.
