Dan Kapelovitz, the creator of the Los Angeles-based cable access show Threee Geniuses (on which I was once a guest), interviewed me about two months ago when I Am A Sex Addict opened in Los Angeles. Dan was working as a freelance journalist at the time (after a brief stint as an editor at Hustler magazine), so he recorded the interview without knowing exactly where it would eventually end up.
Well, the published interview arrived in the mail today, and where it finally ended up was in High Society, a pornographic magazine. It's mentioned on the cover of this month's issue, with the tagline "Confessions of a call-girl junkie!" The interview (which I thought was actually quite good) is interspersed with random photos of Rebecca Lord (the porn star who plays one of the lead roles in the film) having inter-racial sex.
It's an odd experience to read an interview about my film (which is essentially a critique of magazines like High Society) being used as fodder for the displaying of pornographic images. I don't mind the juxtaposition - on the contrary, I think it's fascinating. I like it that information about my film is getting out to their clientele. But it's an odd irony nevertheless.
