I'm afraid he'd be a lot like the porno film makers I hung around with in
the very early 1980s (long story, another time) -- keeping the "talent"
(esp. the women) strung out on drugs and otherwise exploiting some very
damaged people for their own profit and personal power trips, and
justifying it all with high-falutin' talk of personal liberty and
intellectual freedom and fighting censorship and overcoming society's
repressions, etc. ...vampires. Which is not to say they weren't
interesting. It's just that I always felt like I needed a shower after
spending a day on the set with them.
