Production Notes: What can I say? I didn't write this :) This is not an offical Morbid Vision Films movie although I directed & edited it and we were credited as producers. Last July the president of E.I. called me up and said he had a movie he was wondering if I would be interested in directing for him. Right away I got nervous. This was the first time I had been asked to direct someone else's movie with their money. But I said yes right away. I figured this was what I had been working up to and it would be a great experience. It was my first real production experience as a director. Once I was emailed the script, my first thought was, "oh god, what the hell am I going to do with this?" The story is cheesy as hell and the movie is basically a softcore porn movie. But as I read it over and over again I began to visualize how to shoot it and saw that it was going to be allot of fun.
The most difficult part of shooting this was the fact that is was going to be made over a two day period. There was allot of work to do and there was allot of dialog to film. That is what takes the longest. The sex scenes were easy and I filmed half the movie is about two hours. But I have to say that this is when I saw what it was like to work with professional actors. Misty, Esmerelda, and Darian were great to work with. They nailed their lines right away and knew just what they needed to do to bring their characters to life.
I also had the opportunity to film another action sequence, which is part of the reason I was hired for this. Although we only had about two hours to film the shootout, I thought it came out great. Rich got to do some more stunts and Misty got to fire guns for the first time. This was also a chance for me to test out digitally painting in muzzle flashes for the automatic weapons. I think it came out pretty damn good for a first try.
I am happy with the way the movie came out and it received allot of positive feedback from fans and website reviews. One even claimed that the best part of the movie was Morbid Vision Films involvement. Although it was not the type of movie we are into making, we had a great time working on it and I would do it again in a second if E.I. asked us to.
