Just when you thought you’d seen it all, Pure Taboo drops a bombshell for Father’s Day that’s less about BBQ and dad jokes and more about deep-seated trauma and… clown makeup? The studio’s latest release, simply titled “Father’s Day,” reunites fan favorites Coco Lovelock and Dick Chibbles in a tense psychological drama written and directed by the increasingly audacious Seth Gamble.
A Holiday from Hell
The story kicks off with a relatable, albeit sharp-edged, family dilemma. Jasmine, played by the fiery Coco Lovelock, wants nothing to do with her stepfather’s special day. The tension is palpable from her first lines.
“No, I didn’t plan on coming over there Sunday… because he’s not my father and it’s Father’s Day. Why do I have to sit there and entertain your fucking husband?”
What starts as a heated phone call with her mom spirals into a truly bizarre and unsettling confrontation. While Jasmine is in the middle of her “Jasmine Live” stream, her stepfather (Dick Chibbles) appears unexpectedly, his face painted in clown makeup. The encounter, as teased by Pure Taboo, veers into shocking territory, ultimately forging a disturbing and deeply intimate connection between the two.
Gamble Goes for the Jugular
Seth Gamble, who both penned and directed the piece, isn’t shying away from its intensity. Known for pushing actors to deliver raw, authentic performances, Gamble considers this project a new benchmark in psychological storytelling for the acclaimed studio.
“This ‘Father’s Day’ scene is easily one of the most disturbing and emotionally charged scripts I’ve ever written and directed for Pure Taboo,” Gamble shared in a statement. “I’m incredibly proud of the performances from Coco Lovelock and Dick Chibbles—they committed to the tension and discomfort in a way that elevates the entire piece. It’s bold, it’s unsettling, and it pushes the boundaries of what Pure Taboo is all about.”
This film is a prime example of the creative trust Gamble has earned. He gives a nod to Adult Time’s Bree Mills for the freedom to explore such dark corners of the human psyche, a signature of the Pure Taboo brand. The studio has carved out a niche by treating taboo subjects not as simple shock value, but as complex narratives deserving of a cinematic lens.
A Crew Built for the Darkness
Creating a scene this heavy requires more than just committed actors; it demands a crew that can handle the emotional weight. Gamble made sure to credit the team that helped bring his unsettling vision to life.
“I’m also deeply grateful to my crew, who brought focus, precision, and unwavering support to such a heavy and nuanced shoot,” he explained. This collaborative spirit is essential for producing content that feels both dangerous and artistically sound, a balance Pure Taboo consistently strikes.
The return of Lovelock and Chibbles is also a major draw for fans, who have praised their on-screen chemistry in previous intense scenarios. Their ability to navigate emotionally complex roles makes them the perfect duo for a script designed to provoke and disturb.
“It’s the kind of scene that lingers with you long after the credits roll,” Gamble concluded, “and I can’t wait for the audience to experience it.”
“Father’s Day” is now available for streaming on PureTaboo.com and the AdultTime.com network.
