Yes, it’s true. There is a documentary series based on the lives of porn stars in the works. The series, Amateur America, is backed by executive producer Matt Musolino and the Grand Schema production company and will focus on adult film stars James Deen, Jayden Cole, and Jayden James.
According to the official announcement, the series will follow Deen, Cole, and James as they “start up a new content company and search out a new talent roster.”
“I’m excited to have this show come to fruition after a lot of hard work put in by everyone involved. It’s going to be fun and entertaining, while showing a completely different side of an industry that has been taboo for a long time,” stated Musolino.
Executive producer Christopher J. Scott of Grand Schema said, “This show will give a behind-the-scenes look at an otherwise shunned industry, and bring out the true stories of the people that make it one of the most profitable businesses in the world.”
“I am stoked to start this project. I hope people will enjoy the sneak peek into the adult world as well as seeing what our real personalities are,” said Deen.
Jayden Cole added, “I’m excited to showcase the positive aspect of an industry that is consistently portrayed in a negative light in mainstream media. We’ve got a great team and I’m looking forward to documenting our adventures!”
Sound City, a documentary by Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters, will be having its world premiere at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival. The documentary marks Grohl’s feature-length directorial debut, and Grohl will be making the trek to Park City, Utah in support of the documentary along with artists from the film.
“As a first-time director, I am humbled to be able to share my passion for songwriting and storytelling with this incredible cast of legendary musicians, as seen through the extraordinary story of America’s greatest unsung recording studio, Sound City. Being included in this group of artists is a true honor, and the Sundance Film Festival is the perfect place to premiere a film about craft, integrity, and passion for art. I am over the moon!,” stated Grohl.
The Plot:
The film was conceived by Grohl after purchasing the legendary Neve 8028 recording console from Sound City Studios last year. The console, built in 1972, is considered by many to be the crown jewel of analog recording equipment, having recorded such artists as Neil Young, Fleetwood Mac, Tom Petty, Cheap Trick, Guns and Roses, Fear, Nirvana, Rage Against the Machine, Slipknot, Nine Inch Nails, Metallica, and countless other musical legends over the past 40 years.
Through interviews with the artists and producers that created decades of musical history at Sound City, the film showcases the amazing history of the studio, focuses on the albums recorded there that went on to change the world, then explores the human element of music in an age of technology, and features performances of new music created exclusively for the film.
Grohl’s personal connection to Sound City began with the 1991 recording of Nirvana’s breakthrough album, Nevermind. Selling over 30 million copies worldwide, Nevermind changed the entire musical landscape and forever altered the course of Dave Grohl’s life.
