What is the project?
The project features psychological thrillers with full adult content. We focus on presenting tension, interesting or complex plots, and high-quality production, mixing in themes of manipulation, moral ambiguity, and deception. The roles can be challenging, but are always fun. Most films are written and financed by fans, but if any part of the script crosses a theme or boundary you're not comfortable with, just let us know and we'll make changes.
Never heard of you. Who are you and who have you worked with?
Allen Wright is the director and owner of both Distortion X and The Battle For Earth. Allen and the team have years of combined experience on media-related projects within the adult industry, commercial, and private sector. Through the years, we've worked with top industry names, as well as talented local actors in LA, Vegas, Portland, and Seattle. If you glance at our releases, you'll likely recognize many of the actresses. We've developed relationships with most of the top talent agencies, and it's likely you're reading this because we've contacted you through your agent. We'd be more than happy to supply references should you desire!
Pay?
Check is delivered at wrap, and we pay the requested rates worked out prior to the shoot.
Other Talent?
We work with a selection of male and female adult actors. All are fully tested, and incoming talent always has the option of choosing not to work with someone no questions asked. This will be worked out prior to the shoot either directly or through an agent.
Flight, lodging, and where are you located?
Flight and Lodging is provided. We will be happy to fly you into Portland, OR, and provide you with a comfortable room at one of the nearby hotels. We typically use The Eastlund or The Doubletree and you'll find both have 4 star plus accommodations.

What is required of a new actress?
We are used to working with all sorts of different actresses, many committing to their first shoot with a limited explanation of what's required. Here is the run-down of what we're looking for if you haven't worked with us before:
Line memorization?
Not typically. We either deliver dialogue on the fly or, if you're comfortable with improvisation, that can be an option depending on the project. Scripts can be provided in advance upon request should you prefer.
I'm not that great of an actress...
Just do your best! We simply ask that you bring as much energy and effort to your character as possible. We're used to working with diverse experience levels in every facet, and we pride ourselves on being able to adjust to an actors' strengths and weaknesses. Just do your best, and we'll make you look better!:)
How long is the shoot?
A typical day will last 10-12 hours, including setup, MUH, shooting, breaks, and lunch or dinner. Food on set and at least one meal is provided..
Documentary
If you'd like to get to know the director and understand the process even further, feel free to watch this documentary. The network Fusion produced a pilot called "Portland Porn." This features one of our other projects so the content would be different, but the creative process is the same.
