The other day, I came across the website for "9 to 5: Days in Porn." In a nutshell, it's a documentary about life behind the scenes in Porn Valley. Over the years, every time a book or a movie or some other project like this has come out, I've wondered if this will be the one that gets it, finally. So far, they never have. I haven't seen this movie yet, but this is the only project in the last dozen years, where I've thought, watching the trailer and clips: This guy gets it. The site is filled with tons of footage and interviews, including one with director Jim Powers, who, if you read this blog, you know a spent some time writing about, and who influenced the director character of my novel-in-progress, Happy. In "9 to 5," Power opines of the porn industry: "I work in a shit factory. I'm knee-deep in it." The film was directed by Jens Hoffmann, and I cannot fucking wait to see it.
