TROUBLEfilms Presented by Courtney Trouble

TROUBLEfilms is a queer-run adult film and photo archive dedicated to documenting the diversity of desire.

Our catalog includes work from 2002-2024. Projects feature scenes filmed in real places; bedrooms, forests, kitchens, play parties, and sanctuaries. Why direct performers into roles when you could document moments? What you’ll find here reflects genuine chemistry, personal agency, and palpable pleasure.

This site serves as an archive and a store. Much of what lives here comes from the DIY queer porn scenes of the 2000s and 2010s. Those materials are at risk of disappearing due to censorship and digital erasure, and this site seeks to preserve them as both erotic media and cultural memory. This space was built out of survival, curiosity, celebration, and sexual liberation.

TROUBLEfilms essentially started in 2002 when the first scenes of NoFauxxx Roulette and first photos for nofauxxx.com were shot in Olympia, WA on a rainy night at the gay bar. The name “TROUBLEfilms” didn’t come around until 2011, when Live Sex Show became the first self-published DVD for the DIY studio. After that, TROUBLEfilms produced hundreds of individual scenes and almost 70 full-length films and featurettes by a range of film makers, all porn performers themselves. From 2015-2025, TROUBLEfilms took a step back from DVDs and focused on digital streaming until COVID, new laws and technology made a small project like this hard to sustain. Now, we archive.

This website is managed and maintained by artist, former pornographer, and archivist Courtney Trouble. TROUBLEfilms is no longer a porn production studio in any traditional or physical sense, and to be honest, we haven’t shot anything in a while. These days, there is no office, no scripts, no shoots, no sponsors. Just a commitment to keeping queer stories visible, erotic, and rooted in pleasure. We move slowly. We work with what we have. We make space for real experiences rather than manufactured ones. We are not on PornHub (anymore). This is not content created for clicks. It’s work made out of connection, consent, and care..
