    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 .
    It's an indie film - how big of a budget do you think I have?

    We got enough to pay $200 per day (slightly above union scale), meals, accommodations, hair, make up and PLUS pay someone to do a job (casting) that I'm very well capable of doing myself?

    I'll pass on that. I do love the poster/casting notice flyer idea though. It's by far the best (and only good) idea in this thread.

    Thanks again lurkingtitties!

    $200. per day for nudity and a sex scene? Dude, I make $200. per day for phone sex. What makes you think anyone would do this? (besides the obvious person)

    You need more information in order to make the right decision for you.

    Working in a club, getting offers most bs & a few legit comes with the territory.

    Call the guy up and ask him.

    Nudity in a scene & a sex scene is what I would be asking is it a porno... Only you can investigate & find out if it is something you want to do. None of us can say.

    Good Luck,
    Sam

    i see no reason why you can't just advertise for auditions? why does it have to be a stripper? put it in the paper, flyers, whatever. much more professional. i'm sorry but only a very naive newbie would even believe you..its just been done so many times. i actually danced for this guy who informed me that he was directing the film adaptation for " 50 shades of grey" and emma watson was going to be in it LOL. that old con has just been done to death.
    i can see a girl doing it for 200 if she wanted to get her name out there and break into acting..but it certainly wouldn't be for the money! 200 is bad night at work for a lot of strippers, so they likely wouldn't be too excited about that part.

    Do you have a location? You should always secure that first (and the props). Why? Because places and things can wait, people can't. People have lives and schedules and you'll lose them. So get them, last. Also, when you lock down your strip club, the management can help you find your extras. But definitely audition any featured roles. Suggest a background in exotic dancing is preferred, but don't leave any serious acting up to amateurs.

    I just realized the Op was being serious. I also didn't figure out that she was actually a he ie blue ribbon. If it's a sex scene ( simulation of sex like that fake bumping around parts but fully clothed under sheets?) then you can hire any actress that can work under your budget to do this.

    If you're actually trying to get someone to have real sex ie intercourse with another person then you may want to look into your local laws on this. It sounds like a partial porn shoot to me because "real sex" doesn't typically happen on reg films. It's usually fake grinding, arching one's back,fake thrusting and that lovely cock sock thing.

    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'm pretty sure this is where you lost professional credibility. Is the lap dance part of the audition process?

    Ok so you have made up your mind then.

    But just be aware that while you may be capable of casting someone, you don't have the same connections or credibility that comes from an agent/respected industry professional.

    Have you thought about posting your casting and info on some of the facebook groups for adult entertainers? Or Model Mayhem?

    No, you're silly. Do you not know how many executive decisions and millions of dollars are made in the heat of the moment. Maybe it's chemistry with the dancer, maybe during the dance she may exemplify the aura or energy you envisioned when you created the character?

    Of course a "lap dance" is not apart of the audition, stop being so (holding back from what I really want to say) "simple." The point is, if in that moment and time you think, Oh wow, you'd be great for a part I'm casting. I see NO logical reason whatsoever to not at least ask.

    Ahhhh yes, the all knowing great one who clearly knows nothing about the film industry. Let's see, the fact hat Lindsay Lohan (someone more famous than you and your phone-sexing) was paid $100 per day for The Canyons and MANY actors work deferred, much less $200 per day is what makes me "think anyone would do this." For Christ sake, cut with the unwise-ass replies ok.

    You said SEX SCENE. What is anyone supposed to think you mean when you say "sex scene". The firs thing I assumed was PORN SHOOT.

    I mean really wake up and look around. You're on a sex industry board.

    Seriously did you just hashtag exit? LMAO!

    Now you're just being condescending. The "you're silly and simple" really you're supposedly all "legit". You're asking the questions and you're getting valid answers. Point is most dancers will laugh off your proposal and say they'll "think about it" as they call you to come back into the club. You'll need to spend something serious in the $$$$ not come off as a total creeper. Then come in with references that state how 'LEGIT" you really are. If you can't provide anything then just stick to putting up ads for a casting call. Make sure to put up your budget, how many hours they'll be needed, make up+ clothing provided, etc.

    OP - you asked a question - and you got a bunch of feedback you didn't like. Yet you keep attacking those who are providing honest feedback - you've been told numerous times how a professional casting call gets done - and certainly NOT while getting a lap dance. You were given a bunch of alternate suggestions - all of which cost $, and I get aren't as appealing. But instead of thinking that perhaps there's a reason why both guys and dancers are telling you the OP approach won't fly, you say it's THEIR problem, not yours - even when every responder has zero invested in the reply, and so is just giving their honest opinion. The fact that people thought you were a dancer asking the question should make you see just how flawed the approach is - because non-legit is clearly how you look to dancers when you approach them in the SC while getting a LD.

    Why ask the question if you won't listen to the feedback. Honestly, that is more likely to make people question just how "legit" you are. If you are trying to be legit - realize the problems with your proposed approach, and fix them. It's not rocket science. When you stand here and try and repeatedly justify why others' opinions aren't right, but yours is, it just comes off that you came here to post and get affirmation this will work, and aren't ready to listen to anything else. Just my 2 cents.

    Dammit TJ, get your ass back in here and answer my questions! Do you have a location, a budget, what's your role in the film? Have you shopped for your strip club; first find a club that's aesthetically pleasing or fit's it's role (nasty ass trucker bar or Vegas glitz), and find a manager who'd watch your film, you could be friends with, and you'd leave your daughter alone with. If the manger is going to fuck his dancers, he'll fuck you too. When you have that, auditioning the parts will come easy.

    Don't give a role to a dancer just because she got your dick hard grinding on it. Make a rule never to fuck an actress you cast or cast an actress from someone you fucked. Those decisions are never wise and benefit only your dick at the cost of the entire project.

    All this is assuming you are a real filmmaker and not just another schmuck cluttering the board.

    Hahaha, I will answer because I found your reply halarious and also because you've been extremely respectful to me unlike "others" in this thread.

    Locations all are secured, finally after a month of negotiation! I normally cast and secure locations simultaneously. My cinematographer who is just AMAZING by the way has already signed on.

    Excellent points on the quality of the club as well. I can say in complete honesty I have NEVER slept with anyone I've worked with on a professional level. I get what you mean. My only point was if we genuinely clicked together in a place like club, we'd definitely click in real life.

    True story, I met a dancer a few years ago. We were chatting and I pretty much went to see her every night. Eventually, we became really good friends, I added her on FB (Yes, she gave me her real name - oh the horror!) and was event invited by her AND her boyfriend to hang out. See, despite popular belief, not all of us are looking for a fuck, but genuine human connections. To this day, we STILL talk and often, laugh about how we first met.

    And for the last time, I'm not a schmuck! Doc, I'll admit, you're one of the VERY few personable individuals on here. Thanks for your kindness.

    P.S - Juuuuust checked your profile. I was just praising you for being on the the more rational, level-headed dancers. Alas, I digress, the only one I met to date would be my friend referenced above.

    You thought I was a dancer?? I auditioned to be a go-go dancer at the gay bar a couple years ago, but at 5' 11", 165 Lbs I was too small to be a bear, so they wanted me to wax. Long story short I got rejected. now I've packed on 15 lbs and wouldn't make the cut, hair or no hair.

    Actually, TJSmith, I would have to say that many famous people did phone sex including Whoopi Goldberg. I believe that 200 a day for an non-union film would be nice for someone starting off in the film industry. However, The canyons was not the best film to make your point. It feature James Deen who did it to break into mainstream films. I believe you are real but you need to explain yourself more.

    Actually, you could just do a film for Troma or Brain Damage and it would be less sad. The Asylum is one of those companies that B-movie actors go to die LOL!!!

    HA! I thought you were being facetious but it is even more amusing that you were apparently serious. I am such a silly girl!

    Yes dear, the offer may be made in the 'heat of the moment'. Important decisions regarding such offers have a few levels to pass before they are approved, unless you are a lot more important $$$$wise than the OP has stated he is.
