Back from Hawaii!

Hey Guys! I am back in San Francisco from our big Hawaii shoot--which means I have internet access again! After being connected to the web without interruption for the past five years, it was really pretty strange to be stranded in the middle of the ocean with no way of communicating with the outside world! How did we ever survive back in the old, pre-internet days?

Anyway, now that shooting has finished on Lords of the Jungle, I wanted to give you guys a final report on how the shoot went for the last few days on the island. As you can read in the previous post, things were not going so well after losing our new camera to an ocean wave and running one of our trucks into a hidden ditch.....

But things picked up from there and we got right back on track! We brought three cameras as backup, so we were in good shape there. We also had two trucks, so shooting went right on without interruption. AAA came and got us out of the mud and things were back to normal by the next day.

As filming continued, we shot some stunning stuff. Raging Stallion Exclusive Jake Deckard demonstrated that he is a star of the highest quality. In a stunning scene shot with fellow exclusive Mark LaSalle, Deckard performed like a champ and delivered one of the highest quality fucks we have ever filmed. The setting was a caved in lava tube--a huge hole going into the mountainside, covered with jungle vines and trees. It doesn't get any better than this!

On the last day of the shoot we filmed a three-way with Deckard, RSS discovery Steve Cruz, and exclusive Collin O'Neal, but we were so far ahead of schedule that we decided not to include this scene in Lords of the Jungle--instead it is the first scene filmed for my big Spring release, Mirage, which will be the sequel to Arabesque. I will tell you more about this scene later this year.

So, how should I summarize our Hawaiian adventure? Well, we shot fifteen scenes and ten solos--but the cost was high both in terms of moneys spend and work involved. It was very expensive to fly over twenty men to Hawaii, not to mention housing and feeding them for two weeks! You would be amazed at how much these porn stars eat!!!!

Our workload was double that of a normal shoot. Before we started filming I made a decision that was key to the success of the shoot, but one which made our lives much, much harder. There are lots of beautiful locations to film in Hawaii, but I wanted to capture the roughness and harshness of the real jungle--not some manicured lawns that have been shot before by other companies. Because of this, we had to rent four-wheel drive vehicles and head off into the deep jungle, risking injury and exhaustion on long, dangerous treks through the thick bush to find the perfect locations to make this remarkable film. The jungle, as much as the actors, is a star of this movie. I can't wait until you see it!!!

Lords of the Jungle will be one of the finest movies Raging Stallion has ever released.
