Regarding the interviews. Yes they are pretty lame. In Dave's defense I think he was questioning them in a way that would elicit answers that would go along with the movie's theme. The main thing Dave needs to learn is when to talk & when to listen. Take the Cameron scene. There were periods of awkward silence (she's a shy girl), then when she starts talking & it gets interesting Dave interrupts her. He does this in most of the interviews. The interview with Avy was good (but WAY too short). Ditto for the one with Misty Haze. Honey's could have been great, real cute girl, but Dave interrupted her a lot too. The real annoying thing is asking dumb questions DURING the sex scenes. This is not good at all. A real turn-off.

I counted up the total sex time in the flick. There's about 100 min. of sex (not counting boner footage) & about 30 min. of interview. Still a lot of good sex with a nice mix of girls. I only paid $11 for this movie so I'm not real po'd. It's probably worth around that, even with the flaws, but not up to RLD standards.

Wow is RLD going out of business or what? Anabolic/Dia/EA always seem to be over $20. This may be a sign. That means they must be selling wholesale for about $6.

I have also noticed that RLD puts poor selling titles on the discount list very quickly. I notice several sales for Throat Gaggers 1 shortly after its release, and this title was not a favorite title of mine (nor did it get good reviews). Maybe Someone's Daughter is in the same catagory of being a poor seller.

The fact that I am not satisfied with this particular movie does not mean that I'm not satisfied with RLD, in general. I just said it was not up to their usual standard. No company has a perfect record (even EA & Ana/Diabolic). In fact, I have a total of 26 other RLD titles that I'm very satisfied with.

I did not think that anyone could posssibly jump to the conclusion that Red Light was in trouble because I happenned to get it for a good price. The intent of the post was to address the points brought up by RFan. I agreed with part of the criticism, but, as I stated, there's still plenty of good sex in the movie. I guess I'll know better in the future than to assume that people have read all the posts.

I'm sure RLD will continue bringing us high quality movies & bringing in new talent.
Thanks, Dion, for being open to our suggestions & criticisms.

I stand by this movie.

My original inspiration for it came from a mid-90s Greg Dark movie called The Shocking Truth. In this movie Mr. Dark conducted interviews that had a more pyschological twist, geared towards the girl's background and what makes them do porn. The interviewees were literally under a spotlight in a dark room being questioned. I found the nature of the questions fascinating because they were different.

With Someone's Daughter my goal was to make a movie that captured the truth and got real reactions out of the girls and at the same time present the scenes in a way a little different from the other Red Light titles I did. In some scenes (like Cameron) I did this better than others in regards to capturing the truth of someone's personality. I asked questions that I wanted to know. There are no roles being played. I'm after realism. I didn't want the girls to play a role. I wanted them to be themselves and capture that accordingly.

The bottom line is I like the movie...the questions...the sex...the whole feel. I think it's horny. Whether there's another one will depend if enough other people share my opinion.

I welcome additional feedback and will respond directly.

That's great, I for one can not wait to see the all-girl DVD you guys are working on, or started working on, or will start working on.

I haven't seen Someone's Daughter, but I love Greg Dark, and if David Luger's questions are like that of Shocking Truth's, that would be a cool emulation of a great director.

I think RLD has some of the best consumer relations of any studio. They respond to negative comments, take into consideration what fans are looking for, and try to provide for the fans. How cool is that? If a studio falls into the trap of never trying anything different, you will see the same thing in every production.

You can't win 'em all, and you can't please all of the people all of the time. You can't even please all of the people some of the time. And you can't please some of the people all of the time.

It's a matter of tastes, and here's a monkeywrench thrown in your face... when's there gonna be a she-male DVD?

btw, I would have given it about a 50/50. Not that bac but I have enjoyed other RLD more.

I didn´t had the chance to see S´sD, but I have The Shocking Truth. Judging by some sample questions posted here and the questions asked by Greg Dark in ST, there´s a difference in tone.

First of all, ST´s interviews are SCRIPTED. They don´t look like they are, but they are.

I´m not saying that you should ditch the inverviews entirely, but I DO suggest you to re-watch Shocking Truth again and think of another, different questions.

Another complaint is that the interviews are too lenghty. That can be corrected as well. With time, I guess you´ll find a balance.

Remember: Stagliano did some very cryptic/experimental stuff like "De Blonde", "Bare Elegance" and "Dance Fire", and Seymore Butts´ very first movies were somewhat boring. They they found the right pace. The rest is history.

Plus, being a vintage gun enthusiast myself, I just have to root for a person named "Luger"!

Let me give you an example of number three. I'm ahem, watching Breakin Em In #2, and a fairly cute girl named Paris is getting interviewed. When they get to the first time you had sex question, she answers that her first sexual experience was when she was 12, and that the guy was 27 years old. She actually laughs about it, which tells me that she still doesn't understand exactly what happened to her when she was a kid, and how that might have affected her choice to get into porn in the first place.

Ok, well that right there ruins the scene for me. Let me explain. You see, I have this stupid fantasy or maybe it's better to call it a big lie, where I try to believe that most of the girls in porn are simply sex positive fun loving gals who want to make some quick cash, while doing something they enjoy. When in truth, most of the girls in porn aren't that bright, were abused as kids, have horrible relations with their familiy (possibly due to the abuse) and are now looking to make some quick cash to feed their drug habit or party lifestyle. Girls with pimp boyfriends who recruited them into the business, so could make quick cash farming them out to different companies, only to dump them when they couldn't get regular work any longer.

So you see, when an interview burst my bubble by revealing that the girl in question is seriously fucked up, or desperate, then it's difficult for me to get into the scene.

So ignorance is bliss when it comes to porn, and that's why I usually fast forward through interviews )

Sorry for the rant )

1. The issue of the audio sync problem in Sapphire's scene has not been mentioned by anyone (either from RLD or someone who's seen the movie). Out of sync audio is turn-off (as in Elegant Angel's SMUT, I got burned on that one).

2. As I stated before, the sex is more important than the interview. If the interview is not good, I scan forward to the sex. But, interviews can be a real turn on, if done right. There's an art to questioning. You must have the knack of asking questions that get the girl talking, then it's a matter of asking the proper follow-up questions. Example, more response from Cameron on the jack off question would have been appropriate. In general, the girl should be doing most of the talking, not the interviewer.
