finding talent in the PNW - 04/27/11 02:48 PM

I was in about 20 scenes when I lived in LA a few years ago. Now I'm in the Pacific NorthWest, about 100 miles north of Seattle, and looking to shoot my own scenes. Since they shut down the adult jobs section of Craigslist, I am having a really hard time finding talent. Backpages seems to be a bit of a deadzone really. Are there any other porn wannabees up in this area? Any amateur producers have any tips on recruiting amateur talent?

Try bus stations, under passes and trailer parks.

I'm sure I would. Unfortunately a DUI I got in 95 rules that out of the question. Do they still have an adult jobs section in Canadian Craig'slist? Off to check.

If the DUI is the only problem, search online for the form you have to fill out and send to the Canadian Government.

Because it's a criminal record, not just a traffic infraction. The border is a big no-go.

They turn you away at the border. I think they even put you back on a plane if you fly in. Many a cabbie made lots of money driving dopes to NYC after they had to get off the bachelor party bus heading to Montreal.

Don't mock me on subforums I only look at once every 6 months. It was one day and was pretty proud to pull a dollar less than 1000. You can't try to do that.

Hit tnaboard.com. It's the Northwest hooker review board. It covers from Vancouver to LA, focusing mostly on Seattle and Portland. spokaneboard.com covers the east of the Cascades.

There's a big swinger and alt lifestyle population there. Hit some of the bdsm shops.

I know someone who was planning to go rafting from Canada back into Alaska. He said he was going to have to get an FBI background check done because he had a DUI on his record. I think it was going to cost a couple of hundred bucks to go thru the process and it was non-refundable if they decide to still not let you in.

As far as pacific northwest whores, I know Tori Black is from Seattle, so is Gianna Michaels and Ellie Idol actualy shot some porn in Seattle. It was more of a spoof, but with sex.

There was a guy years ago that was shooting when pro-am was the big thing. It was mostly to get him laid. He contacted the ex and told her no matter what scenes she shot, he had to be in the first one. Super pushy. When she told him we were doing our thing, he got pretty pissy. Allure Video, I think.
