Gay Porn Director Matt Sterling is Dead

I never got to meet Matt Sterling, but I always admired his work tremenously. In the early days of gay porn, he was probably the first director that I could always count on for quality work. When A MATTER OF SIZE came out in 1983, I remember showing at a party and everyone was blown away at the picture quality! It was the first gay porn movie any of had ever seen that was shot on video instead of film. That one movie changed everything for me.
