A few months ago, just after Sssh.com, was featured in Time Magazine, we got a call from a producer at ABC Nightline inquiring if they could do some coverage on us to include in a story they were working on about “women watching porn” and so an interesting adventure into mainstream media began. An ABC senior producer was put in contact with our editor and producer to figure out how to work together.
We had just finished up doing a similar “behind the women’s kinky curtain” piece with an international media outlet. Thus we already had a sense of how to do this to give their crew something interesting to shoot, plus give them the opportunity to interview our cast and crew. So, with that in mind, we merrily set a shooting date to have our actors Jeanie Marie and Ryan Driller fly out and be the stars in a 40-minute “Cinderella Story”.
On the eve of shooting, ABC producer Aude Soichet (Emmy Award Winner) showed up for a cast dinner and rehearsal. The next morning, the rest of her ABC Nightline crew showed up on location up here in New England, where they shadowed the production and held lengthy interviews with the cast and crew.
To say we had reservations about having ABC on the set would be an understatement. We were somewhat nervous about how they would present erotica for women to the world. So, we held our breath and crossed our fingers for about 6 weeks that it would be sex-positive piece.
Then, on April 20th. 2012 at11:35pm, ABC Nightline booted up, they talked about “Fifty Shades Of Gray” and “Sssh.com” in a very positive and entertaining way.
