It is with a sad heart that I report (via porn colunist J.C. Adams) that gay porn director and producer William Hunter passed away. Hunter, who directed such films as Badlands, Force of Nature, the outrageously funny Santa's Coming, Tricked and Hotter Than Life as well as produced films like Chain of Desire and Rent-a-Fantasy, was a long-time veteran of the porn industry who had a penchant for plot-driven porn and twinks. Although Hunter worked for a number of studios, his primary body of work was for HIS Video. Most of his recent work had been for Totally Tight Video and All Worlds. Hunter was quite well-known in the industry, but not to fans. He was very much liked among his peers, it seems.
