Fireworks erupt in the sky over the lagoon in Zona Sul, the South Zone of Rio de Janeiro. Soft bossa nova ebbs from the band on this balmy December evening. An enormous wooden Christmas tree, swirling with flashing lights and fountains of colorfully lit water, floats in the middle of the lake to kick off the summer season until the end of Carnaval in February. This celebration is a perfect end to a near-perfect day of production.
Earlier that day, our security guard, Ivete, arrived at the apartment just before 8 a.m. A security guard? Yes, porn production is different in Brasil, and you constantly have to look over your shoulder. I've heard too many scare stories about other American studios having model troubles here. I take no chances. On our first production we hired Ivete, a real Rio de Janeiro police officer who moonlights for us. The perfect lesbian, she usually keeps her pistol hidden from the models, but it is always there should one of them provide a reason to show it.
In true Brazilian fashion, Ivete drives like she has a death wish, and despite her ferocious speed and aggressive maneuvering, we arrive on location intact. The aptly titled Suruba: Agua is a wet and wild poolside orgy, and the location comes equipped with an outdoor shower and sizable pool. It's gorgeous.
Suruba is Portuguese for orgy. This AMG Brasil series is more freestyle, with roaming camerawork. It's a contrast to AMG's premium hardcore features and a nice change from the massive undertaking of last fall's Amazônia: Capture & Release. You'd think that an unscripted sex film would be a fucking cakewalk, but, quite to the contrary, the spontaneity in front of the camera makes organization behind the camera crucial.
To keep things discreet, in case we are stopped by the common Brazilian blitzes (police roadblocks), the cast and crew arrive separately from us Americans. The first five out of the van are familiar. There's Ricardo Onça, AMG Brasil cover model-turned-crew member; an impossibly hung surfer named Rick Ferraz; Renzo Castelli, coverboy of Fazenda; Oliver Lima, a pint-size muscle-bound bottom; and Peterson Corrêa, who starred in Amazônia: Release. Following just seconds behind are two slender young newcomers, Victor Santos and Nick Novaes.
The last model is a first-timer named Marcelo Mastro. He is the ideal AMG Brasilian: handsome, built and massively endowed. I gather everyone together and run down the shot list in Portuguese, telling them how to act during the orgy. None of the models or crew speak English, except Ivete and Leandro, the production manager. After everyone knows the score, I group the boys.
"Vamos pra ducha!" "Let's go to the shower!" I direct the first group to the outdoor shower and give our new photographer, Nando, a few pointers. Nando grabs Nick and Victor and takes them to shoot their glamour sets. It's his first porn shoot, but he takes to it like a fish to water. Within 15 minutes he's gone through multiple poses with Victor, and from a distance we can see his rock-hard cock. Nando's going to do just fine.
Back on set, I struggle with a common Third World annoyance - ambient noise. Brasil is a loud country. From the other side of the property's wall come echoes of dogs barking, un-mufflered trucks and roosters. During the orgy's groans of passion, we endure Portuguese kids' music flowing from a neighbor's party. But I wait it out and get enough clean sound to work with in the editing room.
Shooting one, or two, or even three guys is pretty straightforward, but coordinating seven in another language is a challenge. Luckily, only Nick and Marcelo are virgins to group sex. They take a bit to warm up, but soon the orgy is running like a well-lubed machine. The scene culminates in a bukkake-esque pop shot. Legs dangling in the pool, Victor, who's insanely cum-hungry, waits as his six costars furiously beat their dicks over his face. Each of the boys cums in succession, some twice, and the scene wraps with a ceremonial dip in the pool.
As the sunlight fades, we gather the boys for a group picture. Since it's the holiday season we need something for the company Christmas card. So we slap Santa hats on the naked lot of them and tell them to smile. We wrap just before 7 and we're back in Rio about 8:30. The fireworks are scheduled to blow at 9:00.
