“Wasted” On The Way 1: Nacho Throws In The Towel

A lot of sweat goes into porn movies. Sweat and other things. I spent about a year last month following the production of what would become Harmony Films' "Wasted," a violent, lawsuit-bedecked, spit-drenched trainwreck of a movie. Here's Part One.

Nacho Vidal has been in porn 17 years. A father, husband, and world traveling polyglot, he also doesn't give a fuck. We watch as he arrives at the classy offices of L.A. Direct, the porn world's biggest talent agency, to lay one on Derek Hay (aka Ben English), L.A. Direct's owner and a performer himself, about a scene partner who didn't want Nacho to sweat.

It is difficult not to sweat in a porn film, and Nacho, dressed like a toddler, vents his indignation to Hay, who blithely offers that everything must be perfect in Spain.

This interlude teaches us that people need to complain every once in a while just to feel heard. Porn is, after all, about feelings.

Today's is the first in several backstage videos from this troubled movie, starring Vidal, Nick Manning, James Deen, Angelina Valentine, Megan Coxxx, Brooklyn Lee, and Aiden Starr doing all manner of dirty things. I got permission to release them because Harmony, accurately or not, surmises that all publicity is good publicity.
