Twinklight Update

Lots have been asking for an update on Twinklight, so I thought I'd take a few moments and share the progress.

Twinklight is set to be released in October 2009. We are currently in the middle of a re-write on the script. The first draft turned out great, but I've decided I want this to be more of a love story, rather than the lead character's transformation.

Philippe Delvaux is still on board as the lead vampire. Levon Meeks, Kaiden Ertelle, Chase Harding, Lucas Sky and Shane Frost will also be appearing in the film. I'm running one last audition for the remaining roles and extras in July.

I will be filming in August and the first part of September finishing up in time for an October release.

Cheers,

Afton

Rant: Actors who THINK they are Porn Stars!

I don't do a lot of blogging sharing my opinions and feelings on the industry, etc. So I've decided to start taking some time to jot down some of the shit just to get it out of my head. Lot's ask me for my opinion and advice, so here we go.

I'm told every single day by someone new, Afton you have the greatest job ever, I would so want your job. I'm flattered, I am. But in all honesty, it's an extremely stressful job. Making porn with 18 to 21 year old gay guys is not at all what you might think! But I won't go there with this rant...

My first rant, actors who think because they work in the industry, they are automatically a 'porn star'. Ugh, this is so annoying. I suppose there are many different opinions out there. But to me, a porn star establishes himself in the industry as a grade A performer. Someone with a huge following, not someone who sells 10 DVD's because they are on the cover. Someone who reaches the masses. An actor who's cock is hard from the start to finish of a scene. An actor that has the ability to show emotion with each fuck. Not someone who has the inability to speak, grunt, moan when they are taking 8" of hard manhood up their ass. I want my bottoms to be hard, tops to get hard without the need of a fucking blue pill. At the age of 18 to 21, needing something like that to get hard? It's just wrong.

In the twink industry, who comes to mind as being a porn star? Brent Corrigan. Why? Well I'm sure most would agree, he is one hot fucking guy. He keeps his body in great shape, is well groomed from head to toe, has that young, guy next door look. And let's not forget that he knows how to fuck and get fucked. Plain and simple, Brent Corrigan gets it. Let's also not forget that he has a massive following. He may not be the best 'actor', but bottom line, he's a great performer as a porn actor. He is, what I consider a porn star.

You can go out and get yourself a manager, or an agent and work with all the big studios, but that does not make you a fucking star. It's not who you work for, or who you work with. It doesn't matter how much money you get paid per scene. It comes down to how you are as a performer and how you do your job as an actor. Porn is about fantasy. Does the actor bring the fantasy to life? When he's fucking is he making your mouth water? Giving you the boner that tells yourself you must whack off to him? I realize looks are huge, body types, some cock size, asses, etc. But really, what it really comes down to is the actor's ability to perform during sex. We all try to get these guys to act, some good scripts, others great, and the rest shit, and some of these guys do great, and try really hard. But it's porn, it's about his ability to fuck and get fucked. I mean that's what we are all whacking off to. So for me, Porn Stars must be the best cock suckers, butt fuckers, bottoms on the planet, well at least make it appear as such.

There are too many guys who try to break into this industry who simply, do not get it! Go to all of the parties, pride events, market the hell out of yourself! But before you do, make sure you're a performer who can deliver. Because without that, you're just wasting everyone's time, energy and money. Take it seriously, dig in and work your ass off. And maybe, just maybe, you'll make porn star status.

For all you actors out there who are thinking of getting into this industry. Think long and fucking hard before you do. People want to watch you fuck, and most importantly have a good time when you're doing it. Put in 115%, take it seriously as you do any job, and you'll go a lot farther and have a lot more fun. Make sure you enjoy having sex, because, well, that's what this industry is about.
