Hustler White is a 1996 satirical black comedy film written and directed by Rick Castro and Bruce LaBruce. Starring Tony Ward and LaBruce, the film follows a group of hustlers and their customers on Santa Monica Boulevard in West Hollywood, California.
In a plot reminiscent of Sunset Boulevard, Hustler White transposes the action from the silver screen's old movie backlots to contemporary male prostitution and the porn industry. Castro cast real male hustlers and models he had previously worked with, including Ward. They also used the hustlers' homes (and other cast members' including Ron Athey's house in Silver Lake Hills) as location spots for filming.
Portions of the film appear in the music video for "Misogyny" a track by Canadian rock band Rusty which appeared on MuchMusic and Musique Plus in the 1990s.
