Porn has hit the mainstream, with uncensored hard-core graphic material easily accessed by children and teenagers via their devices across the country, to the great concern of many parents.
Mums Make Porn is a new ground-breaking three part series produced by Firecracker Films for Channel 4, in which a group of ordinary mums of teenage children will research and explore the world of modern pornography and then produce their own film. Working with industry experts, the mums will be given all the tools they need, but they will be completely in control – from writing and casting, to directing and editing their fully mum-approved pornographic film.
Their mission is to create a film which not only works as pornography but promotes healthy attitudes towards sex and relationships for the next generation. They will have the power to show exactly how they want to handle the issues that matter to them most as parents, whether body image, consent, or ethnic diversity.
Firecracker is responsible for some of the highest rating and most talked about factual television programmes of the last decade.
From the BAFTA-nominated international smash hit Big Fat Gypsy Weddings, to the visually arresting Daredevils series, Firecracker has produced some of the most ground-breaking, popular factual programmes on television today.
Whatever the platform, Firecracker prides itself on telling authentic human stories and offering new and often never-before-seen perspectives, coupled with its trademark bold and stylish approach to film making, to create talked about content that is loved by audiences around the globe.
Firecracker’s unique story-telling has seen the company work with a wide range of broadcasters both in the UK and the US, including the BBC, Channel 4, W, ABC, Discovery, TLC and National Geographic.
Other credits include Born in the Wrong Body, Daredevils, Repo Man, Sex Testers, Baby Ballroom and Dr Christian Will See You Now and single documentaries such as Susan Boyle: Unlikely Superstar, Secrets of the Living Dolls, The Man With The Ten Stone Testicles, The Brit Who Tried To Kill Trump and Jamie: Drag Queen At Sixteen – the documentary which inspired the hit West End musical Everybody’s Talking About Jamie.
