We were sitting around the basement of our house; Rob and Jim were shooting pool and I was looking at the local "alternative" free newspaper. I was looking through the classified ads in the back, which the paper was well known for since they were mostly adult oriented. It had been a while since I'd fucked anyone new and different so I was considering the ads for massages and escorts, wondering about having someone exotic come over just for a change of pace. We were all getting laid at least once or twice a week, depending on who we were hanging out with, but it was always nice when there was an opportunity to explore uncharted waters.
My mind was wandering and all of the adult business buzzwords screaming from the page must have triggered something in my brain because I suddenly had an idea. As it blossomed and started to fully form, I must have had an unusual look on my face because Jim said he would give ten bucks to know what was going through my mind.
"I just had an idea that, if we plan this correctly, could end up being the best thing that has ever happened to us," I said, slowly, "Bear with me on this."
I went on to explain my vision. We take out a classified ad that says only two things – the word "auditions" in big, bold letters and a web address. Visitors to the web address would learn that the auditions are for female adult film roles. The web page would be very informative as far as when and where auditions would be held, that appointments would be required, and that medical forms would need to be provided along with proof of age. Applicants would provide preliminary information directly through the website and would be contacted to schedule appointments. It would look very professional and would immediately weed out the men and any women not interested in fucking on film. Anyone smart enough to dig deeper into the company history and find that there is none would also be weeded out. We'd end up with the optimistic and ambitious.
Assuming we get some response, we then decide who we want to audition, set up appointments, get some equipment set up and have them come to our test location. At that point, the three of us would take turns as producer, cameraman and talent – one of us would interview and direct the audition, one would film it and the last would get to assess the girl's talents. Then, when we each had auditioned a few different girls, we pack everything up, compile our videos and disappear. We get laid, we get some very high quality personal videos and we move on with our lives.
"Wow," Jim said as I wrapped up, "you really are the brains of this outfit."
We agreed that we couldn't do the auditions at our house because we didn't want any disgruntled would-be starlets coming back to find us. In fact, we all decided, we shouldn't even do it close to our home; we wouldn't want to bump into any disgruntled would-be starlets on the street, either. Rob was the graphics guy and could pull together a web page as soon as we decided on a company name. Jim had experience in video, so he could get us the equipment for a weekend, make things look professional and edit the final product. I would be in charge of website content, medical forms, location and scheduling. We wanted a company name that sounded like it was in the porn business and proud of it, not something that might suggest that we were amateurs or, worse, perverts. We finally decided on Artus Amak Productions, Inc. by simply taking "kama sutra" and reversing it.
Rob got to work procuring the domain name and setting up the website while Jim and I worked on the content. We provided the essential information, such as the fact that we were auditioning for adult movies, interested parties should fill in and submit the requested information, auditions were by appointment only and applicants would be contacted to schedule their appointments and would be told then exactly where the auditions were being held. The requested information was name, age, contact information, physical description and any particular niche or genre they might be best suited for, as well as any special talents they wanted us to know about. There was a medical form that they could download and bring to their doctor to provide us with confirmation that they were drug and disease free.
Once we were all happy with the website setup, we placed our classified ad and started looking into locations for auditions. The best thing that we came up with was to rent a suite at a local hotel so that we could do some preliminary stuff in the sitting area and do the actual audition in the bedroom. We looked at a couple of different locations and found one that best suited our needs; the space was ideal and the management understood that we would be using it for business purposes, though they didn't seem too concerned as to what our business actually was. Rob noted the direct phone line into the suite and went to work on business cards that we could hand out during the auditions that wouldn't lead back to us once we shut down our operation.
We were initially thinking that if each of us got laid once by a wannabe porn star, we would feel that this had been a successful endeavor, but we were hoping for at least two hookups each. When we started sorting through the responses coming from the website, we were surprised by the number of interested women. It wasn't an overwhelming amount, but there were enough that we could rule out the questionable ones and eventually choose two each for each of the two days we would be holding auditions. We contacted the applicants and scheduled a dozen auditions over two days, requesting that they show up in everyday attire on the conservative side; we didn't want anyone in the hotel figuring out what exactly we were up to. We were also prepared to answer the question of why they weren't required to sign a release form, if they asked. Since the photos and video we would be shooting were auditions, they wouldn't be released anywhere; if they went on to make an actual movie, that would be when a release would be required.
On Friday afternoon, we got all of the equipment into the suite and got it set up where we needed it. We would do an initial interview and photo/video shoot in the sitting room where we'd also have the young lady undress, with a video feed to the bedroom so that whomever was the talent for that particular applicant wouldn't miss out on anything. She would then be led to the bedroom to meet the talent and to start performing. We all agreed that the setup looked very professional and went to sleep looking forward to a productive day.
