Suite 703
Looking back, I would have to say I had an incredible time with a rundown of great opportunities. In retrospect the companies I have worked for varied in experience. Companies such as: DirtyTony, NakedFrathouse, Suite703, and finally Nextdoor Studios. For anyone who’s interested, here is a brief review of those experiences at each company:
NextDoorStudios: Probably the most intense of all! The director, S__, is an interesting man. I think he mentioned he originally worked in Canada before creating Nextdoor. Very professional, Kind of…lets say intense? but a business type person/personality. The makeup artist is a wonderful person with a lot of spunk and character. I really adored the person who shot the video, soft-spoken yet confident, he made the experience fun and I felt extremely comfortable being filmed by his direction. The camera man and his assistant (the assistant also being in porn at one point) made the shoot easy and to the point. Both were quite fun to work with. Working with the other models on set was quite fascinating and nerve-racking at the same time. They were in a whole other caliber. Participating with all exclusive models during my time on the set I knew I had to step it up. Austin Wilde sharp looks and personality type B traits gave him this edge which is something to look up to I think when working in the industry. Trystan Bull is a really nice guy to work with, his accent and smooth attitude made him a great partner to work with. Paul Wagner is a pretty down to earth person from what I remember, we had some discussion prior and during the shoot about small stuff, all in all a good guy. Finally, meeting and working with Cody Cummings was pretty cool! Probably the shortest shoot I ever had; we talked briefly about his experiences and how he got started in the adult industry. This was the studio that really launched me forward.
DirtyTony, NakedFrathouse, Suite703 (SparksMedia): SparksMedia was the first studio I have ever work for. The director M_, originally worked as a model for Playgirl if I remember correctly. A calm and collected person who also seemed to have this practical business sense about him. His production team is quite small and they all seem to work like a family. The Casting manager, is a pretty light-hearted person. I usually hear from her on the phone or have direct communication with her while planning a shoot and/or during the shoot as well, she is really easy going. The co-director, had a pretty fun nickname and I remember asking him about it. Of course the answer was not what I thought it would be, I think he mentioned something about the origin of his nickname while working at the bar. The driver(s) were also quite nice and very fun to talk with, I recall sharing bar drink recipes with one of them. During the shoot, this inside joke of “banana bread” became the substitute of “cut” during a shoot. When asked about it they said the origin of the joke came from one of their models. Among other things on shoots, a value of other talents such as strength tricks, eating bananas (bananas seem to be a theme here hehe), and talents not always sexual in nature seemed to be a thing here on set. These kinds of talents often silly were actually quite effective for their website and made things more personable when working with other models. Models such as Seth, a quiet but dynamic guy; and Clayton Archer, an extremely nice guy and the originator of the “banana bread” joke; both now work behind the scenes for SparksMedia. These are the folks one would want to start out with if they are looking to work as a model in the adult entertainment industry. They make the experience a positive one every time.
Fabscout: Another thing I would like to explore is having an agent like Fabscout. I have sorta worked for them in the past but I would really love to rekindle the opportunity to work for them. H_, the man behind the organization of Fabscout, is very respectable, wise, and friendly. What I liked about H_ is he really respected and understood my need to do some soul-searching. I think a lot of people can learn something from him.
***For the future, I would love to work with these studios again! I want to set the example that working in the industry can be a physically, emotionally, and sexually empowering experience for people. In this day and age, that is a good thing. An empowered person can make a huge difference in people’s lives! Whether your working in this industry, in school, or already in some kind of career just remember that your potential is everyone’s hope. So get out there in the limelight and shine! 😉
