First Impressions & Filming with Lucas Entertainment in PV
GAYPV: Alam, how have you been?
Alam Wernik: I am great! I have been traveling and very busy. Finally, since 2020, we can feel those full-time weeks non-stop and I love it!
GAYPV: GAYPV interviewed Alam Wernik while filming with Lucas Entertainment in November of 2022; tell us what your first time in PV was like?
Alam Wernik: It was the best filming I could imagine! Sometimes international cities are just a brand, but not the case with PV. Puerto Vallarta is a perfect combination of gastronomy, nature, and gay nightlife mixed within a Mexican background!
GAYPV: What would you like to do when you come back?
Alam Wernik: I am returning in February 2023 to shoot again with Lucas Entertainment! I am so looking forward to experiencing Vallarta again more this time.
Behind the Scenes: International Friends & Professional Partnerships
GAYPV: What is your experience of shooting in PV compared to other places you’ve shot?
Alam Wernik: It was hard to work in Vallarta! PV has many international visitors. You will likely run into someone you know from somewhere! I saw so many friends from Canada, the UK, the US, Argentina, Brazil, and South Africa. I found it very difficult to work and spend time with my friends.
GAYPV: When will the scenes you’ve been shooting here in PV be released?
Alam Wernik: They will be available at Lucas Entertainment later this year!
GAYPV: To you, what makes a great scene partner?
Alam Wernik: One who brings snacks on the set!! Haha. But for real, a good scene partner always knows your limitations, and he will make it work together!
GAYPV: How do you deal with the pressure of being a gay star and performer?
Alam Wernik: I honestly decided a long time ago not to feel pressure anymore! It’s definitely not easy! But feeling good, staying positive, and not caring what others say has been helping me deal with the pressures!
The DJ Career, Tacos, and Zona Romántica Nightlife
GAYPV: GAYPV interviewed Alam Wernik only to discover something that many do not know. Alam, you are a professional DJ. Tell us how you got interested and started to become a DJ?

Alam Wernik: Yes, I have been a DJ for a long time, but I used to play only on weekends with friends or family! I decided to go professional, and I found I enjoyed the dynamics of it!
GAYPV: When you are not shooting, what do you most enjoy doing here in PV?
Alam Wernik: I tried all the taco stands in the city! For real, I loooove tacos! If you are a real foodie we have the Puerto Vallarta restaurant and dining scene guide filled with delicious places for every budget.
