(Austin, TX / August 23, 2021) — Women’s erotica entertainment brand afterglow (xoafterglow.com) is proud to announce that its Original Film Cravings has been named as an Official Selection at the 2021 San Francisco Porn Film Festival.

Directed by Ori Pinch, the film stars Maxine Holloway as an overheated mom-to-be who discovers sweet relief in the grocery store in the form of the ever-so-inviting touch of a mysterious stranger (Mickey Mod) who suddenly appears in the produce aisle to quell her insatiable urges.

“Cravings has this amazing heat – figuratively and literally – that burns bright between Maxine and Mickey, and we are proud that this film is being recognized by the San Francisco Porn Film Festival,” said afterglow Founder/CEO Lilly Sparks.

While this year’s Festival – which kicks off November 11^th and runs through the 28^th – will be virtual, Cravings is tentatively expected to screen for a selected audience at a venue in the San

Francisco area.
