Photos Coming Soon!

But in the meantime, I wanted to report that we finished Day 12 of the Screening Room.

Kara Michelle Hyatt who plays Britney is officially picture wrapped. (There is a matter of a pickup shot, but that doesn't count.)

As for nudity, it's been pretty conservative so far. A topless woman here, a nude man walking by there. But there will be more. It won't be pretty in the beginning and it's likely the swimming pool scenes will have only implied nudity. Makes more of an impact that way.

For now, I'm open to suggestions about the title. The Screening Room doesn't say "nudist film." And putting the work "Naked" in it only makes it sound like a porn.

It's a comedy, so it should sound like one. Suggestions anyone?

Nudist Scenes coming up in August

My nudist comedy is now in Day 11 of production. We are ready to prepare for the nudist segments.

For those of you just joining us, "The Screening Room" is a satire making fun of anti-nudist and sell-outs. Congressman Foley and the Ponderosa Sun Club, respectively are shining examples of these. I also take potshots at Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin and Bristol Palin.

We are filming in Los Angeles, and we aim to break the stereotype of nudists being old, out of shape or unattractive. I've been a nudist for a decade and once in a while I do run into attractive people. Nudist with healthy bodies, not plastic ones.

So if this is you, we would love to have your involvement. We can even talk about co-producers' credits as well.

We want to show the world that there are beautiful people in nudism. Scenes involve playing ping pong and participating in a disastrous beauty pageant and swimming. This is your chance to represent the nudist community.

This film has distribution and a theatrical screening is planned, in addition to a film festival strategy.

I don't really know what this does but here it is:

Introducing Michael Soulema as Micky

Michael Soulema began acting in high school playing lead roles in such renowned productions as “ Richard III,” “A Chorus Line,” and “Guys and Dolls,” and continues to hone his skills in Theater at the University Of Southern California. He especially likes to show his comic side, making people laugh. He’s currently having a blast playing Micky in “The Screening Room.” When not acting, Michael enjoys baseball, basketball, and weight training.

Here's a glimpse of our actors in other films!

Kara Michelle Hyatt is featured in Asylum's "The 18-year-old Virgin."

Production moves along

Ramzi Abed (The Devil's Muse) has been attached as director of photography. While waiting on cast bios, I will now announce the cast.

Michael Soulema plays the lead role of Micky, a Catholic High School Student hired to be a screener at a nudist resort. Model/Actress Amanda Banoub plays the girl of his dreams, who happens to be the owner's daughter.

Rounding out the cast is Kara Michelle Hyatt who plays Britney, whose mom is grooming her to be just like her namesake, 'but a lot less skanky.'

Ms. Hyatt co-stars in the recent film, "The 18-Year-Old Virgin."

Cerina Da Graca and Michael Lehr also star.

What about nudity?

The film is set in a nudist resort, right? So does that mean, everybody gets naked ???

I guess the question was inevitable, and I didn't try to avoid the issue. The truth is as a naturist myself, I forget that most people are not in the know. Go skinny dipping for an hour or two, and you forget you don't have a bathing suit on. It happens.

This film revolves around teenagers in a nudist environment. And teenagers, as a sweeping generalization, participate fully clothed. The reasons are varied, but most people think it's because they are self-conscious. There are other theories, which I may or may not go into.

After all, we're making a movie here, not starting a philosophy chatroom. The film addresses the subject, and it should stay in the film, not here in the production news. That doesn't mean there won't be any nudity at all. There are adult characters and a plot point which even a non-nudist won't be disappointed by.

So expect to see photos being uploaded, but these actors do not appear nude. The ones who do, will not be posted here . . . at least not yet, and not uncensored. I think there are rules about that here on Blogger.

More of this soon.
