Imagine spending time with two of your favorite storytelling grandfathers who just happened to make dirty movies.

“MAU MAU SEX SEX” features Dan Sonney and David Friedman, Independent Cinema’s original outlaws, and who the
New York Times affectionately calls “the Sunshine Boys of Smut.” Take a scintillating sojourn through a century of cinematic sex, and a hilarious and unexpectedly poignant look at the friendship, families, and fortunes of two men who catered to a repressed society’s forbidden desires, and made a bigger impact on the culture's concept of sexuality than Masters and Johnson. Since the 1940s they have produced an avalanche of "Adults Only" movies for generations of insatiably curious moviegoers.

“MAU MAU SEX SEX” delighted audiences when it debuted at the 2001 Santa Barbara International Film Festival before opening for two weeks at New York’s Cinema Village Theater where it received rave reviews. It is now playing in theaters nationwide.

Critically acclaimed, (see Press & Reviews page on this website) "Mau Mau Sex Sex" is a thought-provoking and laugh-inducing look at a hugely profitable, but morally marginalized, slice of the "sexploitation" business. It's more than a sociology lesson. The movie challenges preconceived notions as it examines the family lives of two distinctive characters: Friedman, a "carny" from Alabama who dropped a Paramount paycheck to pursue his renegade career, and Sonney, the other half of the notorious twosome. Sonney, the son of a frontier lawman became the nation's leading purveyor of cinema sleaze – while raising four daughters in the Catholic Church. Championed by free-speech advocates and vilified by self-appointed moral watchdogs, the pair has enjoyed a long association and remarkable friendship, which they discuss with eye-opening candor and hilarious good humor.

The movie combines the latest digital technology with vintage film clips to present a kaleidoscopic take on a loopy, sex-mad society - and two cagey operators who knew how to exploit it. "Mau Mau Sex Sex" does not contain explicit, hard-core sexual content. It is an "R" rated type movie. From first-time Director and Producer Ted Bonnitt and 7th Planet Productions. 80 minutes.
