You certainly present yourself as someone capable of planning with "007 style precision".
You're trying awfully hard to get a free holiday in SE Asia. By contrast, you could fly to Vancouver or Toronto where there are hundreds of young asian girls in the sex trade. They typically charge $150-200 to do "a scene" and you can get an enforceable model release.
As a plus, prostitution is not illegal and neither is filming.
Here is a business plan for you and your stoner friends:
$1500 Airfare x3 LAX-YVR
$2400 Hotel Room x2 x 6 nights
$2000 Catering x6 days (drugs incl.)
$5000 Cost of talent*
$ 400 Car Rental x6 days
=====
$11,300 CDN Total
$ 8,475 US Total
This gives you a budget of under $9,000 to shoot 12 scenes. You should be able to recoup that investment given your distribution deal. You do have distribution worked out - right?
These figures do not include the cost of equipment rental, big shooters like you obviously have all their gear already, right?
* This figure is derived based on paying the girls between 200-400 per scene, and filming at least two scenes a day. Obviously you and your buddies will be the stunt cocks, because thats the only reason you're even considering this - right?
This is a rudimentary business plan. Idiot
