Teach Me Alexander
Teach Me Alexander starts with Alexander instructing his actors via a sign language interpreter. You also get a glimpse of a little bit of what happens in the making of a porn as we see how hard it is to train new employees. What's more, this disk has the super sexy Alexander in an unprecedented behind-the-scenes extra that will tell you some of what you've always been curious about when it comes to the making of adult films. This film is a fantastic glimpse of what it means to make super sexy porn with a language barrier, not to mention an apprentice with an active sex drive. If you've been watching Alexander's films all this time without knowing that he's deaf, now you know that the work you see as a product is the result of a painstaking process that includes multiple languages and multiple barriers. Painstaking? Maybe not quite that bad, but it is still work to communicate with everyone.
