Hi dom! I read all the comments so far and don't see Varka, the "cocksmith" of Bad Dragon mentioned. I think it was one of the most risky, important, confrontational parts of the movie. Also adjectives like gooey and lugubrious.
How did you approach him? Was he hard to reach or open (considering what he sells?) Did it feel weird to try? Did you get any idea of the history of what he does, especially like a sense of it coming out of the shadows and becoming this incredibly obscene thing you can just order on Amazon now? Was there any deeper detail about the rift between his company and Anthrocon (it seems all about a microscopic rule change on the face, but representing a deep schism underneath.)
I like how his part opened with a chat about american puritanism - that was one of the things that made this a movie-movie to me, not just a furry movie. It reminded me of seeing Marilyn Manson interviewed by Michael Moore, who was surprisingly articulate in his role.
Was there any other approach you considered about adult topics before putting his jiggly work on screen?
You must be comfortable with the topic after being so close for years. Can you imagine seeing it through the eyes of someone who had no idea it existed?
