What Would You Like To Do Other Than Porn?

I was just wondering what if anything you guys and girls would rather be doing if you could do any job. Personally I would love to be creating Horror Movies, I believe they do have allot in common with what I am doing now “maybe why I do what I do now” and if give the chance I would try too create some of the most shocking and controversial horror films around. Nothing is more fun to be that to beadle to shock people, scare them, or just to invoke a strong reaction. It seems the best ways to do this has always been to appeal to peoples most basic instincts, Fear, Hate, and of course Sex

I'd like to have a themed specialty chocolate store. I'm calling it Delicious Demons. High end, great tasting, little devils, gargoyles and demons with different flavored gooey fillings that run out when you bite their heads off.

I'd also like to create a non profit organization that makes adoption free. I don't feel that money or distance should come between connecting a child with loving parents.

I'd also like to author a small coffee table book called "Daily Rituals" that focuses on the things people in different cultures do daily to bring peace and serenity to their lives. Lots of photos, not much text.

That’s kind of cool you have aspirations other than porn you can actually accomplish. As far as me mine is just a dream that I will really never be able to do, I might be a extra in a horror move some day “do live near Hollywood and would work cheap LOL” but I will realistically never be able to make my own film. Maybe I will make a horror porno someday, but with all the problems with the banks as far a processing I am sure I would have to water this down so much that I would never really be proud of it. :crybaby:

Go here: http://www.entertainmentcareers.cc/e...crew_index.htm - this gives general info on working in productions, your first step to learning about the movie business.

This is a site referred to me by The Entertainment Industry Development Corporation, the non profit organization that is hollywoods behind the scenes glue. They do all the portfolio services for ALL production companies in the hollywood area. If you want to film ANYTHING in the Hollywod area, or LA, you have to get a permit through them. They used to give out "shoot sheets" a daily list to the general public of every production being shot in the area, including the production name, location address and how long they are shooting there.

Hollywood is ALWAYS hiring and looking for people to do grunt work on sets. The pay isn't always that bad and what you learn can help you decide if this is what you want to do and, more importantly, how productions work. This site is where anyone wanting to work in Hollywood goes to find the latest positions and many require NO EXPERIENCE: http://www.la411.com

I used to live in L.A., Santa Monica, and the valley - don't miss L.A. or the valley, but Santa Monica was great. Anyway I hope this info helps. If you're at all really interested this is where you begin. :drunk:

Well I would like to do all that man, but doing grunt work on a production is out of the question right now I have my hand more than full as it is. After all over the next 3 or so years I need to open another 6 full members sites not counting the one I am opening now. I would not mind be a extra for a week-end or something but it would have to be in a horror movie only, anything more than that would take time away from my work.

I will check out all of that though, I do need to learn more about film making for my upcoming videos, but I assume I will lean most of that the same way I do everything else, just by doing it. To get the funding to create a mainstream horror film like I would love to would really take to much time, and probably at this point is impossible.

After reading your other responses in this thread, I agree with you

Well sadly yes, I will never be able to create a mainstream horror movie, that is just a dream I have to keep on track you can not be undertaking to many projects if you ever want to accomplish any of them. I will be creating videos with-in a year or so, but this is not really the same thing. You can think badly of me if you wish, but I have to be realistic, and finish up what I have already begun before doing anything else.

Max, I for one love horror films and believe the genres is being overlooked. There truly have not been any new ones out for a decade, or longer - most of those released lately are not "scary", or what I consider to be a horror, as I am sure you will agree.
Take the oh so popular M.Night Shame: does anybody actually believe his stuff to be frightening (aside from the fact that they continue to let him make more)?

Tom, your last two additions are very admirable and I strongly agree with you - people (some exclusions, of course) should not be denied the chances to share their love, simply because of money!
Too many children have no family, and adding administrative costs to the process will only make the figures rise.
:thumbsup:

As for your chocolate covered dreams: you can't go wrong with that - it (cocoa) is something people will always want, just like sex!



Me: I've always wanted a deli [slash] café [slash] bakery (will settle for a diner), somewhere near the mountains in either the Yukon Territory, or Alaska.

Thick & strong coffee!
Big sandwiches.
Hearty soups
and heavy heavy breads (rye etc)


2nd place is a winter mountaineering, or "backcountry", ski guide.

Ya I think now days most horror movies try to be trendy more than scary “not that any horror movies scare me in the first place” I have a thing for 80’s horror films and maybe a few really late 70’s once too. Now days I think too many filmmakers are making horror film to be more like date moves rather than to really try to scare or shock people.

Agreed: 70's & 80's stuff is much better.

What I considered scary:
Evil Dead (original or the first one)
Nightmare On ElmStreet (first one)
Exorcist (when I still believed in a god)
Claire Denis' Trouble Every Day (there are a few versions, but this is the better one).

Also, if you can find it, I recommend Nekromantik (one, or two). It is German, but it is similar to what you want to do (an all encompassing horror film).

I used to be a foot and ankle surgery tech for a Orthopaedic Hospital. Doesn't that scare alll of you!! lol!!

Ya its like they sold out after that to get better ticket sales, even coming out with these BS PG13 horror films that should have never been made. I understand the filmmakers wanting to keep working and all, but having to water down their visions like that has to really hurt.

I love The Evil Dead, nothing is better than a little tree loving :)

Nightmare On ElmStreet (first one) Was ok too

Exorcist is a Classic they even had to cut that movie at the time because people could not handle it “you have to love that”

I would like to have my own Ad Agency someday. It would be a very cutting edge and racy firm for "out of the box" companies. I want to bring more European style advertising to North America. The advertising industry here is so stuffy and right wing, I think it could use a jolt of human sexuality.

I could use a little jolt of human sexuality. ;)

I know I said this already but I would love to make a Gay Slasher Porno Movie OMG that would be so cool, but the bank would never let me sell it or have it in my sites, and some of you guys would give me all kind of crap about violence and blood in a porn movie. But if it was not for the bank thing I would still do it :) maybe someday I will find a way to do it, but again I would not water it down and try to make it funny or light I would rather not even bother then. :crazy:

This thread is making me get wood!

Okay, I just about had to run home, and hide in my safety-house/cardboard box!
This one time, at rave camp, somebody slipped (yah, "slipped") me some (yah, "SOME") acid. Tanti was spinning a very dark trance (goa) set, and all hat I could think of was:
*sitting on floor, rocking back & forth*
We're going to get you.
We're going to get you.
over and over and over

Good thing I had something in my pocket which would nicely :catfight: with uncle cid!

Max –

If you like horror and want to make a film of your own but think it’s far reached and out of your league…

http://tempevideo.com/ - They produce and distribute original titles as well as unknown producer/directed titles by genera fans on a budget.

IF you look over their titles you will see a few that make the grade and a few not worth your time. Yet they all sell.

Think of it like Twinks (your field). You can have Shirtless twinks, Twinks with hats, Twink feet, Just 18 twinks, Twink solo, Twink Hardcore, etc. etc. etc.

Horror is the same. A fan of the Hollywood budget horror will hate anything in the B, Indy, Asian Shock, Slasher, BTK, Gore, Splatter, Video Nasty, No budget and so on, categories.

Then you have Gay horror. Gay horror is not new but the catalog of titles in this area has little to be desired. And 90% of them are under the BTK subgenre.

Examples:

Dead Guys Cinema http://www.deadguyscinema.com/cgi-bi...=xEc0HIj/89m2o
Scream Kings http://screamkings.com/cgi-bin/home....=jKurxK2mVwxjo


If you honestly want to make a movie and think it’s beyond your ability with time or money… Bad excuse! You may not be able to make a Hollywood movie but a movie CAN be made.

Props, SPFX, Editing, Filming, Actors, wardrobe, Marketing – Can all be done low to no budget with the right planning and filming can be done over a weekend based on how many locations you have in your script.

If it’s something you think you could do or honestly want to do … it can be done.


IMO

I think my experience as a lawyer in this industry makes me perfectly qualified to be a game show host.

As a gay lawyer in this industry, I am qualified as a cruise director.

:-)



But until that day comes, I am very happy right where I am at.

:thumbsup:

You've completely left out your qualifications as a drag queen or, at the very least, the lead in the remake of Rocky Horror :)

I don’t know if I would be watching that movie or any other movie on acid or taking acid after you turn 17 years old, but I will still do X every 2 years or so.

I do love the “sister” in the cellar in that movie, really I think that movie should have got better reviews. Most critics have no real idea how inventive theses some of these movies really are, and I am sure liked some BS love story with subtitles that came out about the same time much more than no one but the makers of the film could even name today.

Its like Friday The 13Th critics gave it 1 star, but this film has lead to countless similar films and had like what 10 sequels. If this film did not change cinema I do not know what did, most of these “critics” really have no idea about the influence some of these films really had and will have for many years to come after the critics themselves are long Dead.

Maybe you are right someday I would like to try, but think my biggest expense for this film would be the attorney I would need. And the biggest problem would be processing CC's and using the film after it was made.

I even have a idea of how I would like to make this film, first off I would use a camping or cabin location “this would be cheaper as far a extras, location charges, would be a creepy location, could do the whole skinny dipping stuff, and would not be that hard to film the more porno aspects of the film as well”

As far as the story maybe like 7 or so 18-22 year old teenboy/frat guys take off for a canoeing trip after one of their friends a talented school athlete of some kind “maybe basketball” comes out/is forced out to his some what disapproving family and classmates to get way from the situation and for a little fun. In the mistiest of some really good sex scenes, the friends are brutally murdered by some kind of a masked killer 1 and 2 at a time. Would like the end of the film to have our star “talented school athlete” now alone discovering that the killer is his homophobic father and our star turns the tables on his father by killing him.

Now I know I do not have the artistic freedom to create this film in the US, or more importantly to use or sell it. This is just another example of why we should have NO restrictions on our work other than the guys being of legal age. This film would have blood, and violence in a gay adult film, but that is not really the point of the film. We can not make/support blanket rules like these limiting our work, like I have said many times.

Actually, Max, it was John Carpenter's Halloween that paved the way for Friday the 13th. That movie pretty much birthed the contemporary "slasher" pic as we know it. Friday the 13th merely took it into the realm of cultural phenomenon. But credit really must be given where credit is due. Compared to Halloween (caviar), Friday the 13th is just cheese spread.

Well man I do not want to discount the contribution of Carpenter's work in this area, but I be feel that Friday the 13th was the first true American version of a Italian exploitation film made in the US. I really do believe this film did break some ground in the US market. Halloween is one of my favorite films, but I do not look at it in the same ways.

I must say only a very few of us could really understand this debate we are having here, cinematic debates other than Porn of course are lost on most of the members of this forum I believe.

solar power, I really think it's up and coming and you could make a killing:bananacock:

did someone say slasher film?

i think lucio fulci just *might* have gotten the jump on john carpenter ;)
