Matthew Rush to Direct for Falcon

Let's see. John Rutherford is gone. Chi Chi LaRue is gone. Chris Steele is gone. Steven Scarborough is gone so long they brought him back as a "guest" director. John Bruno's movies for Falcon didn't shake up the GayVN nominations. So who is going to be Falcon's star director? TA DA! Matthew Rush. Please add your comments below.

San Francisco, CA – Friday, January 12th, 2007 – Falcon Studios announces the directorial debut of Falcon Lifetime Exclusive Matthew Rush. Rush blazed onto the scene in September of 2000 shortly after being discovered at an Ohio nightclub by Falcon representatives Bill VanBoklen and Chi Chi LaRue. When VanBoklen introduced Rush to LaRue she took a swift look at him and exclaimed, “Hello ugly!” Rush who at the time didn’t realize he was being paid a huge compliment by the famous Directrixx was simultaneously crushed and oddly excited. Within no time Rush was being directed by John Rutherford in his debut film for Falcon, “Bounce” (FVP146). Rutherford signed Rush to an Exclusive contract after the completion of “Bounce” and in 2002 - just two years later - signed him as a Lifetime Exclusive.

Rush’s directorial debut due out on May 29th will be an all-sex homage to “Bounce” titled, “Bounce Back” (FVP175). After performing in a total of 25 films for Falcon Entertainment (20 Falcon films; 3 Jocks films and 1 Mustang film), Rush wanted to throw his name in the Directors arena while still remaining active in front of the camera as well. Rush commented, “The opportunity to direct for Falcon is an honor and a big responsibility. I now have a new respect for all the directors I’ve worked with since getting into this business. To sit in the director’s chair was a big eye opener for me. This was an exciting experience and I’m already looking forward to directing my next film.”

In the six years since Rush first appeared in “Bounce” his name has become one of the most recognizable names in the gay porn industry, but porn is not the only thing Rush has on his resume. After being bit by the acting bug a few years into doing porn Rush was introduced to playwright Ronnie Larson and given the opportunity to appear in one of his plays. Rush has since toured the country with three Larson productions, “Making Porn”, “Ten Naked Men” and “My Boyfriend The Stripper”. The independent film industry has come calling as well: Rush appeared in this year’s critically acclaimed comedy, “Another Gay Movie” and also appeared in the gay thriller, “Third Man Out”.
