Last night I made a journey to visit
Rupert Owen, who played GB in
The Band. Not only an actor but a brilliant and progressive film maker in his own right, and avid sex blogger, Rupert is currently working on an animation of a talking vagina and asked me if I would do the voice over. I ask you who could resist playing a talking vagina?!
Not me that is for sure!
So off I went with my lovely partner for dinner and voice over. After a few wines and a delicious dinner of mussels, we got down to business. I went in completely unprepared. I had no idea if Rupert had a script or not, instead his partner asked me a series of questions with a very conversational vein, about being a vagina and what I like to do with it! Some very funny moments finishing off with a recording of the juicy vaginal sounds I can make with my mouth! Lots of fun and I can't wait to see the finished product. Vagina's rule!
In the meantime, as the project I am working on in the straight film industry winds down and I can once again have space and time for my own work, I am busy plotting how I can get to the Berlin Porn Film Festival to finally see The Band on the big screen also how an international audience reacts to it!
I meet with the wonderful Shanti Gudgeon for lunch and she came up with some new and interesting ideas. She even suggested, I should give Film Vic a try! Considering they rejected my profile on their industry directory because "they wanted to protect the Film Victoria brand" (what from filth??? which is fine if you are Anna Kokkinos and you are making a comment on heterosexual power politics, but not if are a feminist erotic film maker making comment on the male driven adult industry and its depiction of sex), I would be highly surprised if they did, but hey will give it a go.....maybe. Will keep you posted.
