With all this ambiguity floating around, it sounds like...
...Porn!
This isn't porn is it? I mean if it is than it has no place on this website.
..."Low budget" and "independent" film...about a 'Ruby Rose'-like character whom does what, exactly?
...Ropes-in Trish into one last fling with her with the assistance of her faithfull Matt, who ends-up holding the camera. Which in an unknown 'girls own pictures' is all he can be left doing.
Also; "E" is the common name given to the dangerous party drug, 'Ecstasy'. A suitable name for the title-character in a suitable picture, then.
Sounds warn and shabby, to me. I hope you can set me straight, Louise.
No, I won't be auditioning. I hope others here will retard their enthusiasm until we learn more.
Cheers,
Daniel M.

Thanks.
From you, I will take that as compliment, Jeff.
Daniel MWed, 28 Oct 2009, 06:26 pm
...I hope.
I mean, in no way do I want to get on the wrong side of you and your impressive tiger.
My observation has some validity, you would agree, I hope.
Cheers,
Daniel M.

Valid
While your point has been made in a somewhat blunt and (IMHO) too graphic manner, the validity of it is none-the-less relevant.
Obviously from an actor's point of view, they should be very cautious about any project they get themselves involved ranging from "What is the genre" to "Where do I stand."
From a Director's or Producer's POV, they would be better served in being as upfront as they possibly can. Sadly, this is rather difficult when so many are out their making a bad name for the honest ones. However, the more upfront a producer is, the more likely (note there is still risk when dealling with con-men) that the deal is legit.
Upon reading the main posting, I myself did not suspect any iffyness about it. Apart from the Lesbian reference, I don't see much reason to suspect Porn as such. However, caution is always advisable and in that, Dan has a point.

Surprise-show theatre.
What a surprise you are to me, Jeffrey.
I accept your point entirely, and accept it in the way you made it.
I would only add one thing more, and do so only because you have given me the opportunity:
'When the protector's imagination fails than bad things are allowed to happen.' DM.
I don't see myself as a protector necessarily, but I do enjoy using my imagination. As a writer, I feel I am given that unalienable right for the benefit of all.
Thanks for allowing me to use it in this instance, all.
I mean, the author could have in this instance chosen to use the word Romance instead of "love story". And therefore Romance/Thriller, instead of the other. Connotation would be different, I'm sure some of you might agree.
In any event, we wait to be educated by the author/producer on the true intention of her project. Louise, please re-enter the forum.
Cheers,
Daniel M.

Words of support.
Mel,
Well guess what? Since I did in fact say what struck me first upon reading this post - they haven't come back to tell us all different.
That strikes me as evidence that some of what I observed may have an element of truth. I'm glad I did tell 'em. I think even Jeff will be glad I "shit-stirred" - as he likes to describe it.
I mean, if I put up a post that someone took wrongly, I would be the first to point out the inaccuracy and failure of their conclusion, in order to correct them.
Several days on and they haven't done so. They haven't made a correction or offered a notice to the contrary.
Thanks for your support.
Cheers,
Daniel M.
