BIOGRAPHY: Jeremiah Brian Donahue, (1942-1985) Was a gay artist, photographer and film producer is credited with several firsts in the gay adult industry. He began his career as J. Brian as a p[hotographr. Brian set up his studio in San Francisco in the mid-1960s. He and his partner Bob Damron, who opened the San Francisco gay bookshop Adonis, formed Calafran Enterprises, a photographic studio, which also published the magazine "Golden Boys" from 1968. (Damron published gay guides to the US from the 1960s to the 1990s). Brian began producing 35mm silent "loop" films, among them "Opus One" (1969), "Little Boy Lust" (1970) and "Come to the Orgy" (1971), the latter perhaps the first modern gay porn film with group sex. He also ran a gay escort agency, which was closed down by police in 1972. His first feature, "Seven in a Barn" (1971) is said to be the first gay adult feature with synchronised sound. This and subsequent films were distinguished by the appearances of "all-American" young men in rural locations. One of the best-known is "Raw Country" (1976). At some point during his film career he moved to Hawaii, where he may have worked as a radio announcer. He was associated with tattoo artist Samuel Steward, whose novel "Stud" was filmed by Brian as "Four More Than Money" (1971).
