Advice from users on a new Erotic Film

I'd suggest make a film on a taboo relationship with the erotic element and your film will definitely do wonders. There are erotic films being made nowdays which lack scenes or story or both. There are people who are craving for such kind of movies.

20 years ago, I answered a Craig’s List ad calling for actors for a non-porn explicit movie. I answered, the “director” wrote me back, and we started a long email exchange that lasted several weeks. I was to play a guy who has a one-time sexual encounter with my best friend’s 19 year old daughter (I was approaching 40 at the time). This encounter would be shown as a flashback, and the director made it clear that the actress and I would actually have sex while shooting the scene. He sent me a photo of her, but I never got to meet her.

I took the role very seriously and prepared by watching movies like Intimacy, The Brown Bunny, Shortbus, and Nine Songs. But the project fell through before I ever got to actually meet anyone in person. I was disappointed, of course.

To channel that disappointment, I wrote a screenplay about a Christian minister who meets a young woman who turns his life upside down. He becomes a “liberated Christian” (basically a Christian swinger), and there are several explicit scenes. If shot as written, the sex would be unsimulated. I envisioned myself playing the preacher and that young actress in the photo I was sent as the female lead. I sent a copy of the script to the “director” who loved the story and my writing but didn’t want to touch it because of the controversy of mixing Christianity with explicit, unsimulated sex.

Turns out, that “director” was just a partner in the production company, had been emailing me under a fake name without the business partner’s knowledge, and had, as we continued emailing, embellished certain aspects of that original story. By the time he told me the project was dead, he had my character also having sex with two other actresses as well as an additional anal scene with that first actress. I found the real production company by investigating through MySpace (which was still a thing back then) and learned that the project was never as close to a green light as the guy had told me. I guess he had been entertaining himself by writing these creative emails. I was just excited at the prospect of playing a lead role in a feature, so I’d just followed along. I guess I’m telling you this to demonstrate that it’s hard to find honest people in this business. But at least I did write a really good screenplay that is too controversial to ever be produced.
