Holly Randall (2017)

Well obviously that is really hurting the market, free porn is so prevalent and easy to access, why would anyone pay? I just hope that people understand that the high-end content that I produce costs money to do so, if nobody pays for porn, then how can we fund our shoots?

I love my beauty dish, and I've been using that a lot lately. Otherwise my go-to is the Westcott Halo umbrellas, I prefer them as a "shoot through" umbrella rather than the reflective ones, though I do have a 7ft parabolic umbrella I like to bust out sometimes. As for my advice? Take one of my workshops! Haha... no seriously though glamour and boudoir especially is REALLY different from headshots and product shots, I would say a big part of that is learning how to pose the models right, and more importantly how to treat them. Shooting a model naked as opposed to clothed are two very different experiences.

When I first started I obsessed with Melissa Lauren... I do love so many of the girls, but I'd have to say some of my favorites are Dani Daniels, Madison Ivy, August Ames, Adria Rae... I could go on and on, honestly... sorry I know that sounds cliche but it's true!

Well most of my shoots are for brands that are all under the umbrella of a big corporation out of Montreal. Don't confuse me with Erika Lust, who takes submissions from fans and turns them into short films. I receive scripts and concepts from my clients and produce the content from there.

Of course! Tera Patrick comes to mind, also Nikki Benz... Aimee Sweet, and there are plenty others. When I was working for my mom, 10 years ago, we were both shooting for her website so we shot a lot of the same girls back then.

Yup! My mother is Suze Randall, who is considered a pioneer for women behind the camera in world of erotica. If you watch my episode in Hot Girls Wanted: Turned On, you'll get a little more of the story.

It's incredibly difficult, and if you are not a model, I would say you have one hell of a tough road ahead of you. Perhaps these people would be amenable to crowd sourcing your shoot? Otherwise, coming into the industry now, as a producer with no name, will not get you very far.

As performers, I don't know what else you can do but encourage your fans to purchase your content. As consumers, well you know the answer... pay for your porn! For example, on principle I NEVER steal content, whether it be TV shows or movies. I could easily do it, but as a producer who is struggling with shrinking budgets, I don't do it because I know that it's wrong, and people deserve to make a living for their hard work.

You can still follow my public snapchat at hollyrandall78 I only have to charge for the naked stuff, otherwise I cover most of my day-to-day on my public snapchat. I don't expect people to pay for snaps of my dogs and my trips to the famers market, lol.

18, obviously.

Yup. Ironic, isn't it. But what can I do? I have to make a living.

Let's be honest, the target audience is male.

Well I like to keep my shoots small and intimate-- I'm fortunate enough to be able to choose my own crew and my own locations, so I always work with the same people. I usually don't have more than two assistants, a makeup artist, and the models. On big movies like Quest, which was profiled in the doc, I need a sound guy and a third cameraman, as well as a PA and sometimes a stylist. Still though, that's a small crew compared to most mainstream shoots! I haven't ever needed security... let's hope that doesn't ever become a necessity!

Hahaha you're cute... number one is intelligence. Two is sense of humor, and third is confidence. I can't stand jealous or clingy guys. Basically anyone who is like my father-- my daddy issues are just that I love my dad and it's hard to find a man who measures up to him.

Chicken of some kind? Southwest style or anything with pesto... mmmmmm....

I would LOVE to do an art show and book.... I do have 3 photography books out now and one more on the way through Goliath Publishing, but they choose all the images and it's more of my "commercial glam porn", I'd like to do stuff much darker and artistic. Like my shoot with Dani Daniels in New York with a bear mask on. I'd also like to write a book (yes, yes, I know everyone does that), and I'd love speak more on the adult industry and help lessen the stigma and fear that surrounds it.

Actually size means very little to me (no pun intended haha)... I haven't been with many guys with huge penises, actually I can only think of one right now... if it's too big it hurts, "normal" size which is 5.5/6 inches is fine for me. I like to be able to deep throat, and if it's too big I can't do that. :(

Oh man aioli is the bomb!

Well since my family is pretty much in the industry, I have zero issues on that front. My friends all know what I do and support me-- believe it or not, I'm pretty normal outside of my job and most of my friends are not in the industry at all. As for crazy models, well yes they pop their head up from time to time, but for the most part 99% of the girls I shoot are fucking rad and I enjoy working with them very much!

Because 1) my public snapchat was deleted because I showed nudity, so I had to create a private one so that didn't happen again, and 2) this is a business, not a free-for-all, and since nobody pays for their porn I have to find other revenue streams.

Nope! It's all in the mind, the anus is a muscle so if you can learn to relax it, and if the guy knows what he's doing (and you use enough lube), it can be a very pleasurable experience. It's like a jedi mind trick. ;)

That everyone is a drug addict and a whore. There are a lot of people who view this is a viable business, and who are very professional and career-oriented. I hope that the new series of Hot Girls Wanted shows that.

LOL I think the first one... and how do you know Hollywood stars DON'T fuck like pornstars? At the very least, they could fake it, right?

Hey! I do remember you! I did recently post a new set on my site: https://www.hollyrandall.com/model/holly-randall/gallery/20170422/BOSS_BITCH/ and I have a few more coming but my retoucher is taking FOREVER... apparently I need a lot of photoshop, lol!

If you can send people to war to die for their country at 18, they better damn well be able to watch porn at that age. C'mon.

No that's Jada Stevens

Lol right now I'm getting shit from some ppl about working with Rashida on HGW

I have no idea who Erika's audience is, you'd have to ask her... but I find her story very inspiring!

I can't reveal the budgets on my shoots, that's privileged information to my clients. As for the return, they don't share that info with me, so I have no idea... as for when the product is released, that depends on each project they're all different.

lol I don't think he'd care honestly

Oh man... I'd love to shoot in any exotic location like Bali or Morocco...

Oh I think that with enough experience and research you can direct any kind of scene... for example I am 100% heterosexual, I am not attracted to women in any way, but I shoot a ton of girl/girl scenes.

Pretty much none, so yeah... you nailed it on the head. Nobody else can afford me, lol.

Cheese and basil and tomatoes

Hollyrandall78 is the only public Snapchat I have. My xxxx account you have to join through a program, I don't publicly release the handle

Almost nothing does, in my line of work I've seen almost everything... it's hard to phase me. Things definitely UPSET me-- like anything to do with death and cruelty to animals really gets to me.

Honestly I haven't worked on a ton of feature movies, I shoot mostly individual web scenes.

Not often, to be honest... but I love the Awww, TIL, Funny, Animals Being Jerks, and NSFW subreddits

I won't shoot water sports or anything degrading to women or just super gross.

I don't normally, but my boyfriend is super outdoors-y so when we went to Orgeon in January I got some amazing landscape shots, I was impressed with myself! ;)

Ellen Von Unwerth is my #1 favorite, I also love Annie Leibovitz, Helmut Newton, Mario Testino, Patrick Demarchelier...

I'm sober, I don't drink... so can't answer that question.

Boxing! That's a big part of my life.

No I do not. But don't forget my parents are in the industry and they raised me wonderfully- I had a great childhood. So I'm not worried about that if/when I have kids.

Yes, and I have- in the South of France

I'm not particularly partial to specific directors, but I would say Christopher Nolan, PT Anderson, Wes Anderson, and James Gunn (mostly because he's an old friend).

Not usually, unless they are close friends, and I have very few close friends in the industry.

I have two dogs, Bonnie who is an Australian Shepard mix, and Khaleesi who is a pit bull/German Shepard mix

I box myself, I don't really watch it on TV.

Actually I recently posted a Craigslist ad looking for new assistants, but I didn't reveal the kind of content that I shoot until they responded with a resume, because I didn't want to attract pervs who just want to be in the industry to ogle naked girls. Most of the guys on my crew would rather be working on a mainstream set, they just work for me because they love me and I provide a different kind of environment than the typical porn shoot.

Are we talking about pictures of amazing food or are we talking about porn scenes involving food?

Life

I am in a relationship, I don't ever date in the industry, I actually only date "civilians". I would never date a porn actor, I have never crossed that line with the talent, I think it's unprofessional.

My job. LOL

I think food in porn scenes is kinda gross, though I've certainly shot it (at the behest of a client). But I wouldn't be personally into that.

I have, but honestly I have zero to do with that-- they are referring to a separate episode from mine, one I didn't even see. I had no hand in producing the series so the whole controversy has absolutely nothing to do with me. I was suprised I somehow got dragged into that conversation, I was so confused at this sudden barrage of hate tweets I was getting, I had no idea who or what they were talking about.

Just for fitness and fun, though a part of me fantasizes about competing someday. But I'm too old for that now.

I think it's really unfortunate, and I feel for the girls, I really do. I actually suggested to the producers that they would have been best served with a consultant IN the industry while they were in edit, to have a better connection with their subject matter. I think it's difficult to understand how marginalized people in this industry feel unless you are actually IN it. They could have been more thorough and careful, for sure. Here's the thing-- and this is NOT me defending the producers for what happened-- most people don't realize, when you post content to social media, you give up your copyright. If you read the fine print on Instagram, Periscope, etc, they specifically say that posting content to their site allows for fair use by pretty much anyone who wants to repost the content for whatever they wish. So just be so careful about what you post on social media, because as we can see here, it can seriously bite you in the ass. The whole situation just sucks, I hate to see girls feel victimized, it's absolutely against everything I stand for. That being said, I really liked the producers- Rashida especially- and they were super attentive to my request to not show the faces of my crew, etc. I definitely believe they did not intend to cause such controversy and unhappiness, and I can only imagine that producing such an ambitious series in such a short amount of time was incredibly stressful, and things must've just slipped through the cracks. Just such a bummer.

Meh... I always buy them, thinking I'll eat them, and they always go bad.

Well most of the time it doesn't slap me in the face unless I try to get a mainstream gig, then all doors are closed.

Lol there have been many crushes over the years

Oh waaaaah you have a large penis let us all play the tiniest violin in the world for you. ;)

Hmmm... nope but I have been with a real penis! ;)
