GRUNTS Behind the Scenes - Day 1

The first day of the GRUNTS shoot went very well, little drama but lots of hard work. The models are only now starting to come in. Roman Ragazzi just arrived looking better than ever, Ricky Sins--a new stud who is going to make you groan!--came in late last night, as did Kamrun. All three of these men served in the military, so it was pretty amazing when they all confirmed that our military base looked, felt, and even smelled like the real thing!

Most of our day was spent building the base--tents had to be set up, jeeps oiled, guns unloaded, flagpoles set into the ground, camo nets untangled, ammo crates unpacked, military cots set up, sand bags filled, foxholes dug, and a myriad other tough jobs. The heat pounded down from above (temp in the upper 90s). All of us couldn't help but think about how tough life must be for guys who are really in the army--never mind that they also work under the threat of roadside bombs and sniper attacks. And for what cause??? More on politics later....

One troubling event of the day was a huge dirt devil--a dry, sand-filled tornado--that took aim at our camp! Just like in the Wizard of Oz, the twister came straight towards us, menacing and pretty scary. It tore thru the camp, taking down two tents and throwing 25 lb ammunition cans all over the base. If anyone had been there they might have been seriously hurt. It was strange to see a "tornado" come out of a perfectly clear sky! Sadly, we did not catch it on film....

Here are some photos of the base, the jeep, and some of the guys. Jake Deckard and Steve Cruz are here not only as stars, but also as production guys. Jake is filming a behind the scenes feature about all the guys who served in the army and are now in porn, and Steve, who just got his first video camera, is filming his experience as a model for another behind the scenes feature.

We start filming sex tomorrow, so check back here for ongoing daily updates!
