| 💬 “The screen is a magic medium. It has such power that it can retain interest as it conveys emotions and moods that no other art form can hope to tackle.” — S. Kubrick |

It’s already been a week since the Happy Endings era ended with the incredible orgy featuring Cody Seiya, Greyson Myles, Lane Colten, Shae Reynolds, Trevor Brooks et Tristan Hunter. Now that we have taken a step back, we invite you to come back together on three months of pure eroticism, mysteries, sex and rediscovered joys.
Remember, it was as Halloween approached last October that Jake Jaxson, director and co-founder of CockyBoys, set the tone for the coming months by announcing and unveiling the first images of Happy Endings , a Kubrickian-style project that he describes as one of his most personal.
On the release poster, the first names of the models concerned by this brand new project have fallen; Greyson Myles and Trevor Brooks opens the ball with a first episode of about thirty minutes.
When it was released on October 25, 2022, we praised the first successful episode carried by the two models who knew how to maintain a connection that was both fragile and very strong through emotions. Remarks supported by Grayson who highlights the work on the emotions to be transmitted through the screen and the important developments of each character. The group work seems to have been beneficial for the whole cast, a real understanding and cohesion is quite visible whether when reading the script under Jake’s directive but also the group energy, especially in the Christmas scene which was quite significant for Grayson.
The exercise with Happy Endings appears simple at first sight, but the fact of combining and holding together a script, a story where the historical context prevails, the particular technique of rendering to the image which sticks to the context and the extent of sexual practices is not chosen simple. Happy Endings cinematographer and editor Raphael Massicotte (and director of the brilliant erotic short film Puppy Play starring Leo Louis and Edward Terrant) discusses the critical importance of working with the characters’ deep emotions during sex scenes .
The second part of Happy Endings with Daniel Evans and Sean Xavier comes in with the spirit of domination/submission + accessories. Sean Xavier, himself, returned to his participation which was his first experience of Pup Play, saying that it was quite nice to see all the efforts of the team to bring this project to life. Daniel Evans also expressed his joy at being part of this project in good company.
The plot continues with the scene that brings together Tristan Hunter and Lane Colten with a very sensual and special moment of ghostly sex that we have described as being a moment of spirituality and astral escapism. It was an opportunity for Tristan to participate in a more artistic project, a project that was stimulating for him, especially on the work of his character and how to appropriate it in the best way. Happy Endings was also symbolic for Lane given that it is his first participation in a film of this magnitude, he himself underlines the incredible investment and work in the props, the construction of sets and the details.
Shooting, finding props, writing has always been a challenge for Jake Jaxson and his team. Dan and Sean both spoke about the importance of small details whether they were made by the team such as the shed used for the Pup Play episode or even natural elements such as an leaf falling from a tree under the light of a setting sun, every detail counts.
The pre-production, writing, production and post-production teamwork, the contribution of ideas, the group cohesion, the energy released and the investments observed around the Happy Endings project are quite impressive and are just the result of one man, Jake Jaxson.
