Interesting story, how it happened, sparked by the one of the most legendary threads in gfy history!:
https://gfy.com/fucking-around-and-pr...porn-days.html

At the time, Paul hadn't shot in a couple years. He got throat cancer and had been bedridden. Fabian of Manwin came into the thread. Eventually he asked what it would take to get Paul back and shoot a scene for Manwin. Everyone was saying there was no way in a million years this shoot would happen. Things like "Paul would never shoot for Manwin" as he was their sworn enemy, "deal with the devil" - etc."Paul will take the money and run, lol" yada yada etc.

But as the thread progressed in became clear that this shoot was actually going to happen! Someone asked Paul to make sure he got good behind the scenes footage, I think as a joke, but it made me think about shooting this as a mini documentary. Kind of crazy-sounding, I know, but I was planning a trip to Europe anyway, and I suppose my 'filmmaker' instinct kicked in, and I was like, I gotta go to Brno and shoot this!
In retrospect, I'm very glad I did it, and look back fondly on the experience!
Would still love to turn it into a longer documentary piece someday by getting Fabian and DamianJ's interviews, but that probably won't happen.

But enough for now about the why's and how's of the documentary, let's get to the documentary itself!:

Part 1:


Part 2:



Watch it with an open-mind, if you would. I edited it objectively: didn't try to make Paul a hero or a villain, just showed what it was really like to be with him for the few days before, during, and after the shoot.
