Whitney Wright I had also been shooting a lot and she has been in some of my features for Wicked so I knew she would be great as the co-lead. I knew she’d be great in a lead role and I was absolutely right. Lacy Lennon was someone I had been shooting a lot in gonzo movies and “step” movies and I thought she was both stunning and very smart. Periodically I “discover” amazing girls that perhaps some other directors wouldn’t necessarily think of to cast as a lead in a feature. Tell us about selecting the cast for Closing Time –ĭid you have stars in mind for these roles? Hence, the series is set in a busy tavern. He originally suggested something music related but I decided to go with my other passion alcohol. ![]() I was discussing ways to make Wicked’s feature movies more episodic with Axel Braun and he suggested I pick a theme that I could revisit where the story can pick up again. How did you come up with the concept for Closing ![]() Without a good story, you just have drone shots and mansion exteriors for no reason. If there’s a good story, you don’t have to spend a million dollars. Also, for me, the writing is the most important part. With Wicked I have a small crew and we work efficiently to cover as much ground as possible. In many cases I am the camera man, still photographer, lighting person, and editor. You have to do most of the work yourself. What are some of your tips and tricks for making the most Wicked gave me an opportunity to write actual stories with believable characters and since shooting for them I have made several movies that I am extremely proud of, Closing Time being one of them.I definitely prefer shooting features, so much so that I am sometimes disappointed that I have to put sex in them. I check all of the boxes required and move on. Without taking anything away from the people who pay me to shoot it - I am very appreciative- I am very bored and uninspired shooting the current trend of “step” porn. Is there a certain type of porn that you like directing Now we’ve got a decent following and usually play around LA twice a It was just ridiculous enough for me to be interested and They had a veryįlamboyantly gay lead singer and most of their songs were comedically about We struggled for a few years here and then the music scene changedĭramatically and we hung it up. When I originally moved to LA, it was with the band I was Where did you meet your fellow band members? You been together? Do you have any groupies? How many shows do you do a month? Give us the run down on your band, The Cocks. It’s a gift that I’ve been doing this for so many years that no one can tell when I’m phoning it in. What does a typical day look like for you?Ī typical day is waking up, usually shocked that I’m still alive due to my massive drinking problem, I drink about five cups of coffee and then drive off to my location where I mostly turn on autopilot and shoot another porn movie. Even though I’m now a dinosaur, I have never been more in demand as a camera op/director in my entire career. They’re are girls today making five times what girls made 20 years ago just from their Snapchat. Strangely, in the era of free porn there are ironically so many more ways too monetize. Now everyone with an iPhone is a “content producer.” Also, the crippling effect of piracy on the traditional studios. The downs have been that it was once a very exclusive industry, almost a secret club that very few knew the secret handshake to. Some insight on the ups and downs you’ve seen happen in the industry throughout Apparently no one can tell that I’m not also aroused at the same time. As a matter of fact, I tried to escape several times in the mid-nineties, but like Pacino in Godfather III - “Every time I try to get out, they pull me back in!” Also, I think one of the qualifications for being a good pornographer is also being a pervert, which sadly I am not, so my approach to porn is very clinical. ![]() Long story short: I never sought out being in the porn industry. Go inside the mind of this porn master in this new Adult Empire interview (and don’t miss Quasar’s latest movie, Wicked‘s Closing Time, now available on AE as a VOD exclusive through 6/14/19)! Give us the reasoning behind your self-proclaimed title “reluctant pornographer.” And he gained some of his most prominent mainstream exposure yet with his participation in Jon Ronson’s widely discussed Butterfly Effect podcast. Director Mike Quasar describes himself as the “reluctant pornographer.” His sly, sardonic sense of humor pervades many of his movies. ![]()
