New studio Hard Art has signed California School of the Arts film grad Sally Forth (not this Sally Forth) to direct a feature for the studio's premier release. COO Jeff Sharp explained, "It's a look-and-see deal; if she can deliver a quality show, we can talk about other projects."
Good timing played an important part in Sally getting noticed.
"We needed a director and she needed a job," Sharp explained. "Sally recently left Cal-Arts film school last spring and I received a clip she did from a friend. I said, 'Wow!' There wasn't any hardcore, but I thought if someone could harness this energy and blend with hot sex, they'd have something!"
Sharp followed up, got her email, contacted her, and set up lunch meeting at the Lamplighter, a popular chain restaurant.
"We talked for an hour. I found out she's a punk rocker and likes chocolate milk shakes. More importantly, I liked the way she thinks. I bit and said, 'OK, lets do one and see.' The meeting was very positive, but not so much for the old Lamplighter. It closed down that same week. I hope its not an omen," said Sharp pensively.
