So I've decided to expand my acting career into more standard films. Before Josh breaks into tears, let me say that I'm not retiring from porn. But I want to show what I can do when not naked or semi-naked or you know, when not having some sort of sex. So my agent has convinced me to do an Independent Film. I have a script; it's a crime-thriller drama about a homocide detective facing a violent killer who gets personal.

The reason I'm telling you is that if any of you would like to be part of it, I'd be more than happy to have you aboard. We'll probably be filming in the Miami area in November and/or December. Just to be fair - I'll tell you that I've already taken the lead female part. I won't be directing; that's one of the positions that needs to be filled.

Let me know if you're interested. Thanks.

I have no training as an actor, and therefore, I volunteer my services as a stuntman.

It is not an action movie, but there might be some kind of dangerous stunt needing someone to do something crazy.

If you've got a part for mee I'd be happy to be in the movie. Though to be honest we do start shooting season 2 in early december....

Longball, that would be great! Quick question - can you supress your sparkiness?

Mech, if we give you a support role, we can film your parts earlier in the shooting. That way, you'd be done by the time your show's filming starts.

As a last, quick note: I can only pay the base rates, so SAG standard. I think you'll have to get a SAG card too, but if that's an issue, we can work something out.

Thanks, guys!

Ohhh, Silver screens and the movie business.

I would LOVE to participate on this!

Drop me a line Caramel, I'm free whenever. =D

Kara, who is producing your film? I could probably line up a half dozen investors within a week if you so desire. I've never tried my hand at acting, but I pretty good at the money thing.

Hey girl, Good on you! You need money for this project just let me know.

Pele, thank you for your interest. I do have a couple of questions for you, as I don't know you very well, sugar. Do you have any traits of quantum poisoning, or whatever scientists are calling it today?

Ravenshire and Teleforce, thank you guys! Wow... I didn't think I'd get investors out of this offer. The more money we get, the more we can do. The script has novas in - most movies do today - but they use low-key powers like telepathy and putting people to sleep with a touch. Low-budget effects. But with more money, more than I could supply, we should be able to do more.

Now I'm getting excited.

Kara, I have twenty investors with a total of $5 million with only one day's work. Two recognized your film identity and all of them have put money into various Indie films and Art House projects over they years. All I had to do was lay out your potential, your smarts, and your looks and they were hooked.

If this is enough money for you to start with, I can beginning hounding down some distributors.

Remember Kara, I'm in the business of making money and helping my friends and this let's me do both.

I can suppress my 'sparkiness' as you put it, if you feel it is necessary. However, I must tell you, that when I do, I lose my 'unique' abilities. I could still perform as a stuntman, as I have the requisite skills, its just that I'm not as resistant to damage, and I can't summersault on a razorblade.

Most of me can be covered up with clothing..as for my face and glowing cue-ball of a skull, you might have to use a wig and makeup.

I'd love to be involved in this... if you can use me, let me know.

Ravenshire, wow... Great! That's a bigger budget than I thought I'd get! I'll have to let Dexter know - he's tracking all my expenses, letting me know when we go over. And the writer; she has a bit more room to tell her story. Thank you, sugar!

Longball, we can work with it. I'll need to consult whomever I hire for makeup. Thanks for the offer, and I look forward to working with you.

Bellator, I know that I can use you for something, sweetie. How's your acting skills?

I can try to act, but I'm not very good... I come off as slightly stiff.

Your welcome. Glad I could help.

Well, I put the heat on the scene. That's what the ladies have told me at least =P

Also, I HAVE to wear sunglasses, unless your movie needs a Nova villian? Otherwise, it's pretty obvious that I'm not a normal zip.

Otherwise, I know how to do stunts and know a thinr or two about set making and demolion =D

This sounds great, but with a secret identiy and all ...

When will it come out?

A crime thriller? I love a good crime thriller. I hope the writing and characterizations are tight.

Who is being cast as the main antagonist? Is it a male or female roll?

Porn star tries to leave the shame, huh?

I'll help out. I'll work for free just to see Caramel's false starts: "Caramel! Clothes on! Clothes on!" "Sorry, old habits die hard." ::blink, blink, giggle, then kill everyone in the room when the void between her ears sucks all the oxygen in::

A frequent problem around Caramel.

And sorry, but I don't act. If I appear to be lustful or pissed off it's because I am. If you feel the need for a 12 foot tall glowing dude feel free to call me (for security perhaps), but I'm pretty sure I have like no skills that apply to movie making.

Wow TC, you act like you know her when you really don't. A real pity you have given into prejudice and preconceived notions. You act so intelligent in person.

Ah ha! The argument designed to make me see your side by implying that I'm too stupid to realize the Right Way!

Sorry, Ravenshire. I've dealt with far too many people to assume that there is more to them than what I see at first glance. Stereotypes exist for a reason; people do tend to fall into certain pre-set mindsets and behaviors. I save a lot of time assuming everyone is exactly who or what they appear to be. And Caramel appears to be another bubble-headed woman who does a disservice to all women by upholding misogynistic notions about beauty and sex. She's welcome to try to change my mind.

Hey, I said my piece on the matter. One of the wonderful thing about Kara is that she is more than capable of defending herself.

That's right sugar. But thanks.


I have much better things to do with my time, sweetie. If it happens, then it does. Either way, I'm in no great hurry to chip past the Bitch-shield you've so neatly erected.

Have a great day.

Alright, time to get this thread back on track. I've been compiling a list of the parts; I'm going to let you all have the first shot at positions that you are qualified for and then hire out whatever is left.

If you want to act, here are some of the available parts:

Douglas Hauser - local baseline cop who is one of the first to start piecing the information about the killer together; he is teamed up with my character once they realize they're dealing with a nova

The Killer (Michael "Flashback" Roth) - the killer is a nova with speed powers; he strangles his victims

Cpt Mark Greyson - my character's boss

Allen - my character's live-in fiance; he's a baseline, and the movie touches on the difficulty of a nova-baseline relationship

There will be a handful of other more generic parts, like some cop characters, as well as a few witnesses and one newscaster. Also, all of the parts are non-gender dependent. So if any of you girls want to play my live-in fiance, go for it!

If you're interested in a specific part, let me know, and we'll have you try out.

Thanks to everyone who's spoken up already.

Kara

Porn stars don't become actors. They become ex-porn stars.

Yes, Stone. We already know that. It seems that others don't. But thank you for being brave enough to say so.

Now I'm going to wait and see how many defenders hop out of the woodwork this time.

Caramel what, outside you being a nova, makes you think you can pull this kind of career change off?

I don't know that I can, but I want to try. Being a nova gives me a boost, certainly, but I do know that I can act. Also, it's not unheard of for porn stars to make the jump with at least marginal success. Traci Lords is the most popular.

Also, sugar, you can all me Kara, here. Caramel is my stage name, and I'm not on a stage here.

Kara it is then. Thank you for the answer.

A speed nova? Oh, come on!

You gotta grab me, seriously! I am the fastest guy around.


And no jokes, ladies. I can make it to Miami in like, twenty minutes. And I live in Seattle!

I've had one person already express interest in Flashback's part, so you'll both have to audition for the part. Announcements will go out about that shortly.

That said, the powers are not important because we can do a lot with special effects. The ability to convincingly play a serial killer is the most important part of the role. If you are aberrated and can't dorm, another actor will be hired to play you as a baseline.

But I am definitely interested in you, Transonic.

Actually, in thinking about it, it's not a very good idea.

Mainly because I don't come out of costume. Or at least a costume.

.

I'm sure she'll let you keep your mask on, friend. After all, that's kinky in bed.

Oh wait... did I get things mixed up again? It's so easy when a woman names herself after candy.

Oh Kara! This sounds like an amazing idea for you! If you want an investor, just call me or tell Ravenshire to call me, he already deals with half my money.

The Coyote, are you angry with Kara?

If so, why are you angry with her? I am curious about negative nova-nova relationships.

Just tossing out some ideas here:
Alessa, why don't you host a premiere party? Invites some of your industry friends and make it a real bash.

There is also a possibility that you could do a track or two on the film's soundtrack if you like and it can be arranged.

Oh, I just have a thing against women who buy into or at the least enable the porn industry. I dislike porn because it allows men to perpetuate treating women as sexual objects, things that can be used and discarded. She and women like her allow men to continue to treat us like shit, and worse, she's a minori
