Roger T. Pipe Thanks so much Kiss for taking the time out to talk to your fans and get us all caught up with what you've been up to.
Kiss Sure, glad to do it.
Roger T. Pipe I hear you're working on some new film projects?
Kiss Yes. I guess I should first tell you about the company. The name is VidKisCo, sounds like Nabisco. It is a combination of our names. My partner, David, Vid and myself, Kiss, Kis and Co, is our company, VidKisCo. We formed that about a year and a half ago and started making movies. We've done three, but the first one has come out.
Roger T. Pipe And what's it called?
Kiss Boomerang, What Goes Around, Comes around. It's a new couple's feature starring Cassandra Knight, Herschel Savage, James Bonn, Johnni Black and Tina Tyler. It's a story line feature. Kind of the way adult films used to be made.
Roger T. Pipe Is that something you were looking to make when you formed the company?
Kiss Oh yeah, my inspiration was Ciccolinai. An Italian politician and film star. I just loved her stuff, it was the best stuff I had ever seen. Then I came over here and I was an actress for seven years, but I was going back and forth. Oh God, I have so much to tell you, this could end up just being more of a conversation than an interview.
Roger T. Pipe That's fine, nobody cares what I say anyway.
Kiss All right. Basically I started in movies when I was young. I was 21 in England. I decided to come over. It took about three weeks to get all my stuff together. I sold everything I had and I started as an actress. My name was Kiss. I got recognized quite quickly. About seven months into my first year I got nominated for Best Supporting Actress in a film called Face Dance for 1992. Also that year I got nominated for Best New Starlet. I didn't win, but my friend Alex Jordan, God rest her soul, did win, so that was OK. I got asked to host the AVN awards that year, but I turned it down because I didn't really know what it was. I was just in shock to be nominated. I had no idea that there was even an awards show.
Roger T. Pipe Sounds like you're off to a good start. What about Boomerang, tell me about this project.
Kiss Boomerang is a movie about a chiropractor and a gym owner, Herschel Savage and James Bonn. They are swapping clients to each other, especially women. Herschel is married and James, the gym owner is kind of seeing someone special, Johnni Black. They decide to take the women away for a weekend on a yacht. So they go away for the weekend. I'm the boat owner and they are all having a great time in the sun and we're having a party one night. One of the guests who arrives happens to be one of the girls they have been swapping to each other.
They didn't know she was a friend of mine. The wife finds out and ends up going on rampage at the party. It was really beautiful, we shot some scenes in the moonlight and we have really hot passionate scenes. All the girls are absolute tens. We have a great cast, I was so pleased with the performances. I was trying to do something like Melrose Place, but in porno. Not just two or three parts...
But actually develop characters. There is this new girl in the movie, Cassandra Knight. Have you seen her yet?
Roger T. Pipe I don't believe so.
Kiss Oh my God, she is just incredible. She plays the lead role, Amy, Herschel's wife. She is just such a great actress. When she sees him, when she discovers him making love with this other woman, we really pulled the emotion out of her and she, well, I don't want to give the plot away. You can see how passionate I am about my movies. I really love this business and it's great to be able to give something back. It's really neat because when I cast, I would tell people what their character is and how I am going to direct them. I think it is really important for the women to feel beautiful, because when I was on set, actually acting, I would walk on certain sets and ask what I was supposed to wear and they would say "It doesn't matter."
As soon as they say that, then it doesn't matter to the performer either. To me, I always felt like I should give 160% when I was working. These movies take a lot out of you. Have you seen the movie?
Roger T. Pipe Not yet
Kiss Wow. So, I've talked enough, do you want to ask me some questions.
Roger T. Pipe Sure, you've covered most of them. Let's see, in your new movies, are you performing as well as directing?
Kiss Yeah, I've done girl/girl, but it's kind of hard for me because I want to do the scenes. I love being in front of the camera, but it's hard to switch back and forth to being director and then performer all within the same couple of hours. In Boomerang, I do a scene with Cassandra. I play Sadie, the boat owner and when she catches her husband, I have to comfort her. It's a very sensual scene.
Roger T. Pipe Sounds like you guys are really working for some original stuff.
Kiss I was just so sick of all the stuff out there. I got a call from someone in Canada the other day. He was saying I had to change the box cover. My box cover is very soft and it's really beautiful and classy. It stands out, because there is so much smut out there that people become desensitized to it. It doesn't effect people in an erotic way any more.
Roger T. Pipe Were there any directors you really enjoyed working for?
Kiss I loved working for Patrick. In fact, I was in the very first Sodomania, doing the little masturbation in between. I just always loved him and his outlook on things. He looks forward and I like that.
Roger T. Pipe What about couples working together?
Kiss
Cassandra and her husband do a beautiful scene, the last one in the movie. I kind of wrote the script around them because they only work together and I like to applaud that. When I asked them why they got into the business, they said they did it to enhance their relationship. To keep them sexually excited and that's the most wonderful thing I've ever heard. A lot of people get into this business and work with other people and they are married and it's a hard thing to understand how people can do it. I've never been able to do it. I've been with two guys in this business and we worked with out people and it always ruined my relationships because maybe my relationships weren't strong enough or I was trying to cultivate the relationship within the industry which is very hard to do.
If you have a strong relationship and then you want to do something like that experiment, that's cool, but they haven't even gone that step yet. They are just working with each other which I think is lovely. So I wanted to incorporate that into my movie, but I didn't want them to be married in the movie. I wanted the excitement that I felt from them both to show. The ironic thing is that the lust that seems to be there because they are having extramarital sex...
Is actually there because they have such a love for each other. Married couples can use these movies to bring them together and bring them closer. It's a movie that can stimulate mentally the women, so they can watch it and sit through it and not just think it's silly. It has a story line, they get to know the characters and women really need that to get turned on. Initially they need to speak to somebody, hear the voice, feel that intimacy. So, I try and do that because when I was on set where that kind of heat was going on it was great.
John Stagliano's Face Dance was a wonderful set to be on because he really knows how to make people feel horny on set as well as in his movies. Patrick knows how to do that as well, which is why I loved working with those guys. I try to do that and it seems to be working well. I've had a hundred percent hard ons on my set.
Roger T. Pipe Well, the actors are checking out the director.
Kiss I've been very lucky. I haven't had anybody flake on me, nobody show up late, no limp dicks. I'm the kind of director, if there is a limp dick on my set, I'll be the fluffer.
Roger T. Pipe Saves you money and relieves stress at the same time.
Kiss When I was doing "the Making of a Hollywood Porn Star" with Allysin Chaynes, there was a scene in a car. The guy wasn't really having a hard time getting it up, but she was winking at me, teasing me, so I got on top of the engine and she licked my pussy. The guy was just all of a sudden ready to go. We always put out takes on the end of the movies, I suppose I should have put that on there. I plan to put out some hour long tapes of just out takes, because I think that is so important.
Roger T. Pipe Well, thank you very much Kiss, I look forward to seeing your new projects.
Kiss Thanks a lot Roger.
