Hot Girls Wanted

If you are interested in who the girls are you skip threw tumblr, youporn, redtube and so on this could be interesting to watch. The documentary tells you a bit about the young girls that do porn and why they do it. I was not really shocked about the girls and their life, that was pretty much what i expected. Sometimes i felt sorry for the teens, sometimes not so much.

Summary:

You watch porn and want to know a bit more about the work behind the cam? Feel free to watch "hot girls wanted".

You are looking for some good, touching documentary? Skip it.

This is a good doc to watch. But with the producer growing up with privilege she didn't portray this very well. She made it out to be that these girls are so deprived and feel stuck that this was their easy outlet to a better life. No, these girls are from middle classed families not deprived. She makes is out to be industry is dangerous and wrong. But, by looking at it in this situation it isn't the case. These girls were there on their own free will. They have a roof over their heads and that scout books their gigs and goes with them to them. That scout does it in such a way that the girls are not forced into anything shady or put them in danger in anyway. If they want to leave or want out he lets them. These girls come to him not vise versa. So I didn't like how they were making it out to be that this industry is a bad situation. The material contradicts the theme of the Documentary. If you want to do a doc about this then use subject that fits your vision. Not the exact opposite.

A documentary about young women who have been drawn into the online sex trade - and how easy it is for a web-savvy generation to end up making porn.

First of all, this was produced by Rashida Jones, best known for her role on "Parks and Recreation". Who knew she had it in her to get involved with this sort of project? But it is an interesting topic. With the internet so prevalent, it becomes extra easy to access this type of material, as well as appear in it. Exactly how the money is made is unclear, and it would have been nice if they went into that more. On one occasion, it almost sounded like a way around prostitution laws -- if you film an act and make it public, it is not a crime to pay the woman $300 for her act.

Now, the unfortunate consequence of this film is that is will make the girls featured more popular. As some of them are trying to get out of the business, this film will actually increase the numbers of web searches. Videos that had a few thousand views may now get a million... with no additional income for them, but rather the companies who hired them.

An eye-opening documentary which follows a girl and some of her co-workers just starting out in "the industry." Totally a must watch. I am almost tempted to watch the follow up to this but I honestly do want to see anymore. It is just to sad to watch these girls getting taken advantage of by these twisted people out to make cash at any cost. And apparently the average girl doesn't even last a year! So there will be a bunch of dirty videos of the poor girl up on the internet forever just because she was naive and did not know what she was getting into. Why hasn't anyone tried to regulate this industry yet? There are a zillion Bible-thumping congressmen and senators but not a single one is doing anything about this? I smell backroom deals and payoffs.

I was interested in this after hearing that Rashida Jones (whom I've always liked) produced it.

The actual direction, honestly, is ho-hum-large parts of it felt like someone just strung a bunch of random footage together and called it a "documentary". This (imo) is the weak point of the movie.

Now, here's the part I found interesting: the central point of discussion was the exploding "amateur" porn market. Now, unless you're a complete simpleton, you understand that the people doing "amateur porn" are actually paid, and the doc details how these girls are found (the only thing I really found shocking was that people still use Craigslist).

The main producer (think his name is Riley) basically is these girls' pimp-he finds them, puts them up in his house, books their gigs and transports them. Whether he gets or expects sex from them is up for speculation. The focus is on fresh faces, and most of Riley's house-guests can expect a career of three months to a year before they either burn out or have to reinvent themselves.

I do think these kids are being exploited, and here's why: one of the girls reveals that the average payment per shoot is $800. I'm not a porn industry scholar, but I believe that a paid "professional" makes more in the range of $2k-$3k per shoot. Also, due to heavy regulation in California, most amateur porn is shot in Miami, which requires AIDS testing but no condoms. At the end of the movie, one of the girls reveals that they still have to pay for living expenses, all their clothes, make-up, lingerie, etc...she says that, over a 3-month period, she made $25k, and when she left the business, she had $2k left in the bank. The documentary doesn't reveal whether the girls pay Riley rent or not.

The main difference between Riley and a pimp is that he doesn't have to force girls to stay because there's a steady stream of new girls coming in the door.

Not the best documentary on the porn industry, but there are a few surprises.
