PinkLabel.tv’s newest release FUCK WINTER goes where few erotic filmmakers dare to go. In the snow! We caught up with Fish from One Trick Pony to learn more about their film. (Spoiler: it’s really cool.)

Tell us a little about One Trick Pony. Who is behind the studio and is this the first erotic film?
One Trick Pony is an assorted crew of passionate bikesexuals who dabble in performance art, film and other areas of bicycle culture, like volunteering at community bike shops. The main people behind OTP are Mayssan and myself, Fish. Mayssan is a filmmaker and had a film, The Hot, the Bold and the Sexy , in Bike Smut 6: Turning TriXXX. I’ve been a lover and organizer of bike porn since it first came all over the bike scene on the west coast. Through friendship and collaboration with Mayssan, we made a second film for Bike Smut 8: Come Again.

FUCK WINTER has screened with BikeSmut, where else has it been presented?
So far Fuck Winter has just been touring with Bike Smut. We are hopeful it will be included in the Bleu Nuit, Rendez-VousÉrotique as part of Cinémathèque Québécoise winter programming. The film was made in Montreal with some francophone crew so it would be a perfect audience for our film.

What was it like filming in the ice cave? Any funny ice stories or advice for filming in snow?
Filming in the quinzhee was great fun. Quinzee — or quinzhee — or ice cave is a snow shelter. I was first introduced to the qunizhee on prairies in Winnipeg. Friends of mine built them in their yards as a fun winter hangout forts (aka for sipping liqueur and hot-boxing). In Quebec I discovered they are popular for winter adventure camps, and Julien Spokes who stars in the film had built one that slept 15 people! When we were making the film it was late February/early March and the temperature was about -7 C (19 F). We are all hardcore winter cyclists so we are used to biking in the cold… but getting naked took more guts.
