Wow, this is some major news. Word on the street is that Brandon, aka
Shane Ryan, has casted real horror and real porn for AMATEUR PORN STAR
KILLER 3D. The first two APSK films paired Ryan with co-stars Michiko Jimenez
and Kai Lanette, both of whom had never acted before. It worked in their
favor as it gave the films an ultra-realistic feel with entirely improvised roles.
For APSK3D, however, Ryan decided to get real horror actors (and real porn
stars) to mock his successful underground trilogy (a non-3D APSK3 with also
be shot for the DVD release later this year). Elissa Dowling (“Black Dahlia”,
“Transmorphers”), Jeff Dylan Graham (“Dead Clowns”, “Terror Toons 2”),
oddball critic/actor Luke Y. Thompson (“Mad Cowgirl”, “Wicked Lake”) and
cult journalist/scream queen Heidi Martinuzzi (Troma’s “Slaughter Party”) have
all joined the cast along with tattooed bad girl porn star Regan Reese, thanks
to Society 1 lead singer and porn producer/director Matt “The Lord” Zane.
Ryan is also talking with Regan about starring in the other APSK3 version.
There are talks and rumors of more joining the film later, with cult producer
Mike Bilinski (“Evil Bong”) recently on board as well. “It pretty much started
with Elissa”, says Ryan, “who about nearly knocked me out for not casting
her in APSK2. I just didn’t think actors who have starred in movies I see at
Hollywood Video would want to work on a 20 dollar budgeted sex fueled
horror film with no crew. But she made me realize that wasn’t the case. And
of course Elissa knows Jeff who knows Heidi who was actually the first to
respond well to the APSK series and it just has had a great domino effect
from there. So, we got some great indie horror actors and porn stars this
time. It’s amazing how this whole APSK thing started as a fluke”, admits
Ryan. “I never even liked horror movies.” The young filmmaker started
directing so he could get acting parts and began with tackling serious issues
like depression, rape, incest and murder, for the psychological side of it.
Realizing horror had a much larger outlet for indie filmmakers he decided to
add that element to APSK in order to get attention. “Now I’m kind of stuck, I
guess. I rather make a movie like ‘Once’ or ‘Sleepwalking’. I shot a film in early
2003, a quirky romance”, much in the style of the new mumblecore movement
(way before the term existed), “just can’t seem to find the time to finish
editing it.” That film, “The More The Better” has an official page with a couple
of online clips. Ryan has been stereo typed in the past as being an “August
Underground”, “Guinea Pig”, “Faces of Death” fan (or rip-off artist) who
wants to further disgust and offend audiences with realistic snuff, when in
fact “I’ve never seen any of those films nor do I care to. I didn’t even hear
of most of those until APSK was accused of ripping them off, go figure.
Bottom line is I spent a couple years working on a big project that just didn’t
have the funds or resources to ever be completed. So, I said ‘Fuck It’,
grabbed a girl and a camera, and made a movie one night. That’s that. Now
I feel like poking fun at it.”
