One man's fascination with pornography leads him down a path of destruction, hurting both himself and others. In this independent drama, Paul (Michael DeGood) is a young man who has problems with women, who falls into the habit of purchasing pornography and hiring prostitutes. After making a few amateur porn videos on his own, he meets Spano (Craig Wasson), a major producer of adult films who tells Paul he could go far in pornography if he could find the right star. When Paul meets Kate (Katheryn Cain) -- a naive, aspiring actress who has just moved to L.A. -- he thinks he may have found just the right girl to build his career on. But Paul is blind to the dangerous and sordid world he has moved into, and the deeper he goes, the more damage is done to himself and to Kate. Co-star Craig Wasson also served as associate producer for this film, which was shown at the 1999 Santa Barbara Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Parodying educational films of the 1950s, this satiric comedy presents a warning about the dangers of self-abuse as we learn the sad story of Lou (Lou Romano), a quiet teenager who is addicted to masturbation. Lou has always been shy around girls, and even his father (also played by Romano) thinks something is wrong since his boy has never been on a date. Lou has a crush on Margaret (Katheryn Cain), and at the urging of his father Lou gathers his courage and asks her out on a date. Margaret agrees, and soon the two are seeing each other on a regular basis, but when she decides it's time for Lou to move to second base, he succumbs to the Sin of Onan and is caught in the act by police. Having brought shame to himself, his family, and his girl, Lou is sent to a medical facility, the Johnson Clinic, to be treated for his malady; there, Lou meets Rebecca (Michelle Maaske), a girl with a problem not unlike his own. The Trouble With Lou was shown at the 2001 Slamdance Film Festival, where it received the MovieMaker Breakthrough Award. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
