"Okay, lets try this again." Trina's voice cut through the room, quieting down several people who were on their first shoot, and as such, not quite professional yet. "Haley, I want more of those bedroom eyes. Don't just rely on the nudity. This IS a seduction, kay. So, lets be professional, and get through this scene, and then we can get on to the good stuff."
The crew all nodded, each of them no stranger to working in these conditions. Only a few of the cast, girls who didn't need to be here right now, but wanted to see the actual scene filmed, were new enough to not understand that even on a low budget shoot like this, certain rules had to be followed.
"TRINA!" The voice shattered her hope that this, her first job where she was brought in to direct, was going to be an easy shoot. "I can't believe it. You're… You're doing PORN!"
"Okay, people, take five." The Latina sighed. "And someone, make sure the paparazzi aren't here to ruin my sisters reputation. I don't need them leaping to the wrong conclusion."
People launched into action at her orders, as Trina Vega casually walked past several actresses who had been nervous about filming, even if their real job was to be screwed, and try to look hot while doing it. "Girls, learn, not everyone will be thrilled that you're working in the Adult Industry."
"I…" Tori tried, but her voice failed her.
"Yes, Tori, I'm working in porn." Trina said to her sisters face. "Hence, the sexy coveralls."
Trina had chosen to dress functionally, with coveralls over her shirt to help her have enough pockets for whatever she might need.
"When Andre told me you were here, I… I couldn't believe it. I mean, getting railed for money, that's like…"
"Couple of things." Trina cut in. "One, I'm not an on screen talent. I don't sleep with anyone. I'm here for my vision, and the fact that I know how to edit the fucking film." She smiled at her choice of words. "And two, this is a very legal, and acceptable, way to both make money, and a living."
"But…" The younger girl was stunned. Wheels turned in her head as a thought fought it's way through. "Wait, you're not acting in…"
"I don't want too." Trina clarified. "But if I did, that would be all right. Only, I had this opportunity to direct, and with this kind of material, I felt, there's a loss of the power dynamic if I'm running the shoot, AND being fucked. Honestly, so much of on camera sex is about power and control. No idea why. No, far better to just, you know, direct, and get paid. And don't worry, I have an advisor helping me do the best job I can. Not that scary liked that I'm working in porn, but she understands. Work is work, production is production, and this IS a professional credit. Hell, they give out awards, and some mainstream directors did get their start in porn. Okay, one, but she is making waves, and as nice as her body is, she never fucked on screen either."
"So you're just directing?" Tori tried to find her balance.
"Editing, directing, and some production chiz." Trina admitted. "But yea, director. I see myself doing this for a couple of years, then breaking into the lucrative music video market. And all without showing my girls to anyone."
"Well, then, thats okay then." Tori turned to walk out.
"Not so fast." Trina sighed. "First, that judgmental chiz has got to go. These are people working in an in demand, and legal, profession, who deserve both respect, and understanding of why they chose this life. And second, America's Sweetheart needs to stay a touch longer, because some of my people are fans. As long as you're here, sign autographs."
"I don't know…" Tori hesitated.
"Oh, yea, and you can ask Dre there why he ratted me out when he gets here for his scene."

Just a quick story to remind you I'm still here. So, thoughts?
