Art School Sluts is the first porno truly made for the 21st century audience. Its real raver, Goth and punk girls having sex on camera. Art School Sluts creator and director Eon McKai is a real emo boy who has lost faith in the siliconed and dyed white hair of the porno stars of old. Thats why he took it upon himself to convince VCA, one of the most well known porno companies, to allow him to create his vision of what Art School Sluts should be. While many of you may have seen some of the beautiful sluts in previous movies you have never seen Felix Vicious pop and lock and Keiko and Lili Anne getting it on after a car crash.

Eon McKai: Its very cool of you to do this interview.
Daniel Robert Epstein: No problem but I was really surprised that SuicideGirls approved this interview. The movie showed up in the mail and of course its called Art School Sluts so I thought it was like a play on porno or a satire. Then there is the old VCA logo so I thought it was a gag. Then there is first scene where you see Keikos mouth on Lili Annes pussy and I realize this was a real hardcore porn movie.
EM: Its real thing man.
DRE: The girls are real which is a surprise because most girls in porn are disposable.
EM: Im casting the way SuicideGirls gets their girls. Its the same philosophy. Obviously certain things are different because SG girls arent porn stars. But this is the big litmus test to see if people are ready for this.
DRE: Well its a pretty hot porn except the girls look different and the music is real.
EM: Im trying to start a whole new culture inside VCA. Basically its me and this guy Malachi Ecks who are inside VCA, the machine. We are just trying to show that we are like you and now were making porn.
DRE: Did VCA ever ask you to use regular girls with some makeup slapped on them?
EM: I think the only word they understand is Goth but the more determined I was the more they started to trust me. There were a lot of little impasses where they made sure I was sure about it.
DRE: I bet they rarely meet directors who are passionate about their porn movies.
EM: Right and also Im really trying to prove to them the market is there. Once I can pull it off then others can do it too. I can only make so many movies a year.
DRE: Dont porn directors make like 60 movies a year?
EM: To make good quality movies I can only do about six a year.
DRE: Is Eon McKai your real name?
EM: Its an alias. Im on myspace and there I break it down. I tell people that if you want to know who I am you either have to get a job on my set or come to Los Angeles and have sex in a movie.
DRE: Well Im sure youre not related to Dick Cheney.
EM: Nothing like that [laughs] but I do have a pretty serious mainstream directing career that I have to maintain. I got out of school not too long ago.
DRE: Have any SuicideGirls ever auditioned for you?
EM: So far Im really trying to stay away from that. Thats a danger zone because SuicideGirls is so close to my heart. I really enjoy the way SuicideGirls is going and I dont want to see SuicideGirls go the way of hardcore porn.
DRE: They are pure!
EM: The Eon McKai adult stuff can fulfill where SuicideGirls cant go but it has to do it without disrupting it.
DRE: But Art School Sluts is a hardcore porn film. Its not exactly female friendly.
EM: From the emails I get I dont see it as being only for men. Ive gotten a lot emails from girls who are into looking at other girls for their style and how bold they are.
DRE: But is this movie for guys to jerk off to?
EM: Thats the commerce of it but I see a lot of art in it as well. For VCA to back a project like this it needs to be in a certain digestible structure that they can sell. It has to have so many discreet sex scenes, a certain amount of anal and things like that. These are the hard and fast things that a porno company needs to get the money back out of it. Pornographers are like Indians in that the movie gets cut up into compilations then the stills from it are sold to the web. Its part of this bigger machine. The actual sales of each porno movie are very small. Thats why I think Art School Sluts can be successful because there are definitely a few thousand people who want to see these kinds of girls.
DRE: Well if you had your druthers would you not put anal in the movie?
EM: I think people want to see anal. Katja Kassin really likes anal so with her we did anal. Im not a big fan of DPs just because its two dudes asses flopping around. In Art School Sluts a lot of those girls like rough sex so we do things like that.
DRE: Have the girls in Art School Sluts done porno movies before?
EM: Katja had done porno movies before and so has Keiko. But they havent done thousands. Im open to using people that are in the industry but I want to use them for who they really are. Felix Vicious is a junglist and we soon found out we have a lot of the same friends in common. She totally knew the scene so I wanted her to be junglist in the movie.
DRE: So you didnt dress them.
EM: In the case of Felix, the shirt she is wearing is by Spectr who is one of the most OG junglist, graffiti and clothing artist from Los Angeles. If you went to real dark warehouse jungle parties in the 90s in Los Angeles you would see Spectrs artwork. So I just approached Spectr and asked him to give her the drum shirt she is wearing. When she found out she was getting clothing from Spectr she thought that was cool. Each movie Im going to tie in more stuff.
DRE: Tell me about the music in Art School Sluts.
EM: I used all sorts of artists who are coming out of the woodwork. I used some stuff from Tiger Beat 6 that I dont think theyve even put out yet. I cant say who the artist is that did the actual theme music. Lets just say that its Chuck Bronco and if you go on my blog there is an AVN article on who Chuck Bronco is.
DRE: So where did you grow up?
EM: In Los Angeles, so I had always heard of people working in the adult industry. I saw Boogie Nights when I was a kid but I knew it wasnt the truth. Also I grew up with the internet. Our generation is sort of the early adopters to it and there is a bunch of porn on there [laughs]. The reason we have so much involvement in things like SuicideGirls, Eon McKai movies and porn was because of the internet. I dont think adult companies have realized all of that. A lot of companies are still making movies for men who are in their 40s and 50s.
DRE: Does your family know what you do?
EM: Yep.
DRE: They dont mind?
EM: They are really super liberal.
DRE: They must be really liberal! So you went to school for film?
EM: Yes I just got my masters last year. My teachers totally know what I do in fact two of them have requested screeners of Art School Sluts.

I stumbled across Eon's work when doing research for acutal quality and stylistic porn flim posters and video box art (for design ideas). First time I think I have ever really gotten excited over porno artwork and film design. Great stuff and Im so glad he is changing the bar for this medium.

An interview with Eon! Sweet!
