PORNOSTJERNE?<br />
PORN STAR?<br />
Porn Star? follows a young exhibitionistic woman, Vanessa (19), in her search for love, attention<br />
and credibility. The story begins with her initiating a relationship with Norway's most<br />
high-profile male porn star, Thomas «Rocco» Hansen. The film follows this enterprising duo<br />
around with their small entourage, crew and wannabee fans. It also records the baffling recruiting<br />
strategy Rocco and his cohorts use to get new «actresses»; namely by stalking young (female)<br />
high school graduates during a month long, 24/7, drug crazed and beer drinking high<br />
school graduation party of parties – Norwegian-style.<br />
Society seems to embrace them. Young people want to get to know them. The characters incite<br />
the viewer to feel a wide spectrum of emotions: pity, shame, envy, and even rage. Yet fundamentally,<br />
we know as a film viewer that this is really about sex for money.<br />
John Sullivan has studied film at the San Francisco Art Institute, the School of<br />
Visual Arts (New York) and in Rockport, Maine. His merits as director and screenwriter<br />
so far consist of several documentaries, shorts and commercials, music videos<br />
and drama for TV. His first feature, Play, was released in July 2003. His documentary<br />
from Afghanistan, Home of the Brave – Land of the Free from 2003 received<br />
the National Film Award Amanda for Best Documentary in 2004.
