The Porn Audition - Directed By Pelon Beaton


One of the things I've noticed in my time in the
biz is there are two types of directors. Some
take their time and craft stories, and those that
produce the more 'gonzo' style. Both are fine,
and in some ways fans win with prolific directors
providing them with new movies to watch. It just
becomes a question of how much is too much? Are
some directors rushing out product for the sake of
making movies and by doing so sacrificing the
quality? I give you Pelon Beaton's latest, 'The
Porn Audition'. Pelon's a great guy, and I am all
for directors giving new talent a shot, in this
case leggy blonde Eve Quander. Instead of being a
showcase for a budding new superstar, we get a
film that feels entirely rushed, from the jerky
camera movements, to the music selection (the song
is shorter than the movie, so it restarted after
ending it seems) to the editing process itself.
Shots are either not long enough for you to
appreciate them or too long, and most glaringly, is
the number of spelling mistakes in the captions. I
don't want to be a grammar nazi, and I understand that
the director's first language may not be English,
but this really sums up the problem. If people
would slow down and pay attention to these little
things, the overall quality would improve. As it is,
there's plenty of directors producing stuff like this,
and it's hard to differentiate Pelon's films from others.
