    Default How would you react if a client offered you a role in a legit indie film?

    This movie: used actual dancers for scenes.

    I'm curious about how to approach:

    So picture it - you're giving a private lap dance to a client and things are going great. You ask him what he does? He says he works in the movie business and he thinks you're perfect for a part. The role requires nudity and a sex scene. Would you talk further or think he's a scammer?

    Would it be wise for him to give you a business card? Would you keep it, would you bother calling? Would you even remember the next day haha?

    Or would you give him your number?

    I've done some acting in non-porn indy films. It was a ton of fun, actually. My work in the first film being seen led to additional offers too. However, from a purely cash earnings standpoint, the 'average hourly earnings' are likely to be less than what you earn at the club.

    I'd say go for it, but as a 'learning experience' rather than an income generator.

    However, I'd recommend calling him and meeting ( publicly ) on his end to see if this guy really is what he says he is. Indeed the 'movie producer' scam has been around for almost a century !!!

    Even if it was legit, I'm so wary of stuff like that I wouldn't even pursue it. I feel like there are so many guys who say they are "photographers", "agents", "in the film industry" or "have connections."
    Maybe for some guys that's a reality, but given the fact if this happened and I met the guy at work, I would feel there's a 99% chance there is an ulterior motive there somewhere.

    Maybe I'm wary and suspicious to a fault, I dunno...MAYBE if I was given a business card I would pursue it.

    There are so many casting call porn sites with pitches like these, there is just no way you could trust a convo like that. Sounds like 100 percent BS - because of the sex scene. No legit movie producer would tell you that, they would say you would need to be nude - but not have sex. Legit movies don't want the NC-17 tag, which an explicit sex scene would entail. A nude scene where the sex is implied (Hollywood sex scenes, even like Monster's Ball type scenes) wouldn't require anything but nudity and good camera angling - so telling you there's a sex scene required sounds very fishy. And business cards are so cheap, they mean nothing to confirm legitimacy.

    If you can't let the potential opportunity go - only meet in public, and be ready to walk out the door the guy says "I need to see you nude" - this was a casting call video classic intro (and no I haven't done them...but I'm a guy, and I've seen the vids....don't judge. ).

    A legit job offer would come through legit means, not from some random jerk at the club. What's there to be curious about? you want to hire girls for a film then hire them the same way you would hire any other actor.

    The production Company is The Asylum. They are not bad, they brought us Sharknado, but they're quick profit, low production quality 'b' flicks. I wouldn't call them 'indie.'

    Also: anything a guy says after a lap dance should be immediately dismissed.

    I was going to say something similar to Doc Holiday... the movie referenced seemed like a comedy skit or two above soft-core porn... I am going to take a stab that since you have only made five posts and are a guy you are trying to feel out if this line would work on strippers. I am sorry if I am wrong here (wouldn't be the first time) but just calling it how I See it. Most likely no it would not, although I did meet a customer who got me a legit job as a stylists fir a few music videos and a TV producer who got me a spot on a reality show pilot (never aired) but the show was about strippers... so I would say if you were in fact in the industry and capable of getting the girl some type of audition or job maybe she would (hesitantly) give it a shot but if you think you're going to have some movie producer cards printed up and girls are going to fall over you... don't waste the 10.00 on Vista Print shipping

    This has been going around for many years. I have gotten many offers and almost all were scams where a guy thought he could get free nudity or sex for free.

    I would be looking for the nearest exit with a fake smile on my face. Sounds like a scam..

    They go around the modelling world all the time.

    Audition and perform on skype then try to blackmail the person into sleeping with them.

    Offer roles for huge big companies with insane pay cheques and again, nude/skype/dodgy meet up.

    Oh oops - no I would never give them my number. Pass the card onto the manager and stay well away!!

    Ew, The Asylum. Even if it were real I can't imagine it would pay enough to cover the embarrassment of being in one of their shitty movies.

    My club did a shoot a while back for a TV show that wanted part of an episode to be filmed in a strip club. Since they wanted actual dancers to be in the background, they put up flyers in the dressing room advertising for a casting call. I'd say that's the most professional way to go about it.

    It is probably bullshit. The business doesn't operate that way. Unless it is non paid work as an artistic project (like a college project), real, paying movies use casting directors and extras wranglers to fill roles.

    Sounds like a "I'll make you a star" line of horseshit. Most likely he wants OTC meet ups in some abandoned warehouse. I'd ask him " you don't mind if I bring my friends right?"

    Wait what?? I just read this part :

    " So picture it - you're giving a private lap dance to a client and things are going great. You ask him what he does? He says he works in the movie business and he thinks you're perfect for a part. The role requires nudity and a sex scene. Would you talk further or think he's a scammer?"

    So in other words " I want you do porn for free" I'll upload it and make a shit ton of cash off of you ? Also I'll get to fuck you too? PASSSS!

    WOW, Skeptical, thy name is Gia2608. And I didn't realize the number of times one posts is a direct correlation of their their legitimacy.

    And sorry to burst your bubble but I am NOT "testing" out anything. It was a simple question and I wanted honesty. No scams or hidden agendas.

    Just wow, no wonder so many people miss out on so much in life. Just pathetic. Sorry I asked.

    I guess this makes post number 6, credible enough for ya?

    Smith, I do not know if this is your first foray onto a message board or not, but understand two things. \One, people bullshit on the internet. Two, this is a message board for strippers -- women who sell the allure of sex, women who get approached by men trying to fuck them by the second, erry'day, men who, shockingly, will make wildly, outlandish proposals! of per say, for example, producing a movie they could perhaps be a part of??


    That's Lesson 1 of the internet.

    Yeah you're right and perhaps my reaction was a bit knee jerk. I acknowledge that and apologize. It's just really annoying when you're trying to be serious and people think the worst of you. Not all men are wolves. Some of us are legitimate and sincere, granted a bit unconventional, but still, very legitimate and sincere.

    Could you not run a casting through one of the big agencies?

    Or organise a respected industry person to show the plan, film, budget etc and pay them a fee to do the casting.

    It comes across very differently to an offer made in the club by some unknown .
