Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Annie Sprinkle's casting as God wasn't stunt casting—she and director Cynthia Roberts were collaborators in New York's downtown performance art scene. Sprinkle had already pioneered 'post-porn modernism' as both academic and performer.
Made during the 'feminist sex wars' of the 1990s, when anti-porn feminists like Catharine MacKinnon and Andrea Dworkin held serious institutional power. Roberts' film is a deliberate middle finger to that movement—Bubbles never apologizes for loving her job.
