Porn Star Is Born

One evening, director Chris Ward and his partner Maurice (sales manager of Raging Stallion Studios) were watching old movies - both serious movie fans. On two evenings they watched "Sunset Boulevard" and the 1937 version of "A Star Is Born". Maurice asked Chris to make a film loosely based on these two films, and as encouragement he sketched a simple plot that would become Raging Stallion`s A Porn Star Is Born. The aim was to give viewers a realistic - and not always flattering - view of today's porn industry, but at the same time to create a sexy story that could stand the test of time as a significant contribution to the library of gay erotic film. Chris turned to his long-time exclusive model Michael Soldier to help him flesh out the concept into a viable script. Soldier had already been cast as the star of the film (based on his stunning performance and the GayVN win for best sex scene in Cops Gone Bad). He was so full of ideas that he was hired not only for the dialogue but also as assistant director for this huge project. The great participation in the three casting calls for extras was one of Soldier's most important contributions to the success of the film.
