Vivid-Alt, the alternative Adult imprint of Vivid Entertainment Group, recently teamed up with the adult blog spot, fleshbot.com, to give a fan the chance to win a role in the upcoming Vivid-Alt movie, EastSide Story. The contest, called “So You Want to Be Porn Star,” was to promote the August launch of the website, www.vivid-alt.com.
Krist Sorge, the winner of the Vivid-Alt weekend prize package, was flown from New York to Los Angeles, to be met by Vivid-Alt producer/director, Eon McKai. Sorge was selected winner by McKai, director Vena Virago, and starlet Dana DeArmond.
"I wrote this essay wherein I said it was my grandfather's dying wish was that I be in or witness a porn movie being made," said Sorge of his winning entry. A freelance commercial casting director in New York, Sorge learned of the contest through a visit to fleshbot.com.
After his arrival in Los Angeles, Sorge immediately went to the studio for a some one-on-one time with DeArmond before their “spumoni” date, another perk to winning the contest.
During his visit to L.A., Sorge was also introduced to Virago, helmer of EastSide Story. “[The release] is about how the art scene and the porn scene mix,” said Virago. “The movie takes a hardcore look at the hipsters and graffiti-art-types who inhabit the neighborhoods east of Echo Park in L.A. and is part documentary and part ‘art happening.’”
Sorge said that his walk-on, speaking role in EastSide Story, date with Dana DeArmond and attending a studio party proved to be a hit.
