Here are the pics from working with HighPerformanceMen I made the error to say that I sorta was working with NextDoorStudios. Well I was wrong HighPerformanceMen have nothing to do with NDS they just use the same BuddyProfit system(Promotion etc etc) In fact...
I have known the director "Gio"for many years and I know how this man works. "Gio" only will cast models that are into each other, meaning that there is chemistry between models. Gio likes to shoot naturally, its about the models. Nothing is forced and everything is talked about and "Boxed" beforehand. I really love his style of shooting because he likes to think about the complete story and how the scene will be edited and arranged. Being a director myself, I tried to just shut down and let Gio do his thing...
Nothing worse than a director/model who is trying to direct the scene himself...Not only that but doing a poor job at it!! Anyway...
The shoot was fast and I have to say much different than most of the scenes I have done thus far. Working with Sean Duran was a pleasure, We had chemistry upton meeting and the scene went pretty fast!!
Yeah I have to admit it was GOOD!!
The day before I shot with PerfectFitBrand its a sex toy line and I shot with the insanely hot Christopher Daniels....
If you look closely at the picture that is not my dick, my dick is inside of the PerfectFitBrand toy. Looks scary right? HAHA
Out to dinner after the shoot with HighPerformanceMen,
Sean Duran Joe Parker(HPM exclusive)
Thought I would include some body pics, yeah they are not the best but they are recent!!
So at the home front, the next thing???
HARD WIRE!!!
I needed some selfish time so I was really excited to do some modeling again... But I promise I did not forget about HARD WIRE.....
As I am typing on this keyboard at the moment...
People are working on our first cover art for the Series!! Now not to get so in depth with Hard Wire but I will explain a little about the project and the steps I need to go from here:
Box Cover Art
We are looking at all the pics(Stills,Professional Stills,Screen captures) to use for the launch. What people don't understand is that, We have to look at all the pictures from each scene and pick out the best ones that capture the energy of the scene.
We need a set of Clothed, Semi Nude, Nude W/Hard ons, Action Stills
We have a total of 10 scenes in the project......
Distribution/Platform/Sales
This is a long story....
Transitions/Trailor/Promotion
Another long story....
In a nutshell, this is the hardest project I have ever worked on!!! I have alot of sleepless nights thinking of newer ways of promotion, and trying to figure out How to make Hard Wire stand out from the rest of the pack.
Anyway I have something for fans shortly and it will be a Surprise!!!
MOVING ON.....
Was looking online and I see that my Mentor Brian Mills the lead director for Titan has retired.......!!!
I'm Sad...really sad!!
Here is an Open Letter to Brian Mills
Hey Brian,
Whats up?? I heard that you have retired... Kinda of sad to hear! It's like the end of an Era. I have to pull back the curtain and really express What you have meant to Me....
When I first started watching Gay porn I would pick up the titles from Titan media and watch the hot Dred Scott and how the camera captured this Beast in action. The camera angles were always great and the lighting of the scenes were first rate. I guess I was something of a film geek way back then. When I decided that I wanted to try my hand at porn, I sent my pics to Titan and I was rejected the first time around. I was pissed and I went back in the gym and worked my ass off to prove myself. I sent my newer pics to Titan and the rest is history..
The funny part of the story was that I remember talking to you one day, and I was telling you the story of how I sent my pics to Titan before and I got the rejection email. I remember fondly that you said "Yeah I remember that, I was the one that looked at your pics, your body needed work. You worked out hard and when you resent your pics, I flew you out...." Ever since that day knowing that YOU were the one that rejected Me... it started this crazy work ethic that I have in this business.
I would keep proving myself to you in every scene, I never could get much emotion out of you. I always wondered if I did a good job or not, you were never an easy read. You were kind of hard on Me!! But I really respected you because of that. You didn't put up with bullshit, was always good with time management, and expected the models to be ready or you cracked the whip!! Production is long and hard, so somebody had to make sure we stayed on schedule.
I remember my first porn event, I was talking to you backstage afraid to go out. I think I had the worst Panic attack and there you was saying to Me.."Get out there, the film is great enjoy yourself" Here I am a grown man and afraid to go out and mingle with fans, I was such a newbie. You were the Coach and I was the Rookie scared to go on the field. Thanks for that "Push"..
You remember when We sat and watched "Body Double" together(Love that movie) that was the movie that inspired the whole "Telescope" concept. Two film geeks watching a movie and from that moment on, I was inspired to do the best job as a model and together We would create scenes that would push limits of gay pornography(We did that).
Anyway I'm rambling my friend....
Brian you have inspired Me in so many ways. I only remember the good times. You taught Me how to be the best model I can be. I have learned so many things from on set and all those skills/lessons you taught Me, I'm still using to this day...
Wish you didn't retire so soon, my goal was to be nominated against you in the best director category at Grabbys..LOL
Oh well.....
The Industry is losing a truly talented director...
P.S.
Brian
Can We work together one final time?? I feel that We have some unfinished business...You made hits!! But I want that one project that We both can work on together..That will outshine anything We have done together in the past....
PLEASE?!?!?
Well that was Me begging Director Brian Mills for one last project....
Why would I do that??
Brian Mills directed Me in:
Folsom Filth
Fear
Telescope
Double Standard
Folsom Prison
PlayBook
Some of the biggest movies of my Career......
I might beg...but to work with him one more time would add to my skills, the Man knows his lights and that is something I want to learn from him. He already won Best Director in this business so why not learn from one the best??? That is a no brainer...
Anyway wanted to keep people up to date with everything that is going on...
More later..
