First off, I don't think this film has anything bad to say about people who watch porn or women who choose this as a career path. It offers both negative and positive opinions on the subject from the subjects of the film -- both the men and women. The narration only offers facts and statistics. You are allowed to decide what you think of the way the porn business handles young amateur porn actresses in America, and what it says about our society that it is such a big industry.I thought this might be a terribly depressing film or worse, a slut-shaming film and was pleasantly surprised -- that the narrative tone was pretty neutral. It harbors no ill will towards women who want to make a living this way, but offers many viewpoints on how different people, involved in the industry and not, view the subject. The only part that was really unsettling was about the types of porn commonly being produced due to popularity, rather than the lives of the actresses involved -- apparently porn that depicts degradation and violence against women makes up about 40% of what's on the internet, and there is a fairly disturbing porn scene depicting a white male giving a forced blowjob to a Latina female, in which he degrades her by calling her racial slurs and making generally racist remarks. As far as exploitation goes, I do think there is a certain level of it involved in the way the talent agent Riley goes about soliciting talent (posting ads on Craigslist promising young women a chance to get away from their parents and boring "normal" lives to make lots of money in porn, enough to party, buy clothes and live a luxe life in Miami.) It's kind of a mixed bag whether or not these girls realize the implications of their choice to pursue these ads -- some seem very savvy on the subject of porn stardom and are in it for the long haul, while others decide to resign and go back home after a few months.Personally, I think the fact that the emotional, physical and financial implications are not extremely clear to these girls beforehand and the fact that these implicatoins end up being the reasons for their resignation, makes a strong case for the idea that there is a level of exploitation involved in the solicitation depicted in the film. The blame for why the implications aren't clear doesn't necessarily have to fall on the entrepreneur depicted in the documentary -- I think this doc has more to say about society itself and how sex learned about, discussed and treated in America.All in all, a really insightful documentary and worth a look for anyone who watches porn - you should know how the sausage is made, whether you like it or not. (Pun intended....?)

I heard about this by accident,and figured it was another one of those feminist propaganda movies.Turned out I was wrong.It is an interesting little piece of documentary though. It shows you a honest inside view of parts of the internet world of teen porn . It interview the actors, in what seem to me a quite honest way.Most of these girls,seem to be the average small town girls. Who sees porn, as a way to get out of their crummy little hick towns,and see & be something bigger.And I totally get that.Small towns sometimes feel like they're suffocating you. One of them even said that it was a snap decision and a way to get away from her town They all seem to share, the sort of naive dreams of making it big in the internet porn industry.You get to see their up's and down tours.Hear what they feel about the different type of shoots they do. I feel they haven't really done much research, before agreeing to do porn.Cause the lot of them come off as quite naive. Thinking they will become rich from this.But I wouldn't say they are being abused or taken advantage of.Even though one girl claim so.You choose to do porn on a whim.If you don't do research you have nobody to blame but your self. She even state, that she said yes to everything,as long as it had a dollar sign in front of it. I mean,you can't pull the "I've been taken advantage off card" than. If you don't read the contract,you can only blame your self. One has a boyfriend who says he is okay with what she do,but later you can clearly see him being uncomfortable around his buddies, when the subject comes up.As he and his porn girlfriend visit them. Later he talks about how he wants her to quit. You can see that it's eating him, knowing the whole world can watch his girlfriend on the internet.But all in all I would call it a interesting good documentary not totally unbiased maybe,but still good

Amateur porn. It's out there, people watch it (you may even have a tab open with some videos to choose from, don't deny it). And here, in Hot Girls Wanted, produced by Rashida Jones and directed by Jill Bauer and Ronna Gradus, is not about women who are trafficked in the way that they are in the documentary Tricked from a couple years ago (like this movie, that one is also on Netflix). The curious part about the stories of these girls is that they make active, voluntary choices to be in this world. They see that money can be made quickly by having sex with guys on camera, and that they can even get lots of, you know, followers on Twitter and social media. That it may also ruin their lives as far as getting other jobs or make them pariahs in their families, well, comes with the territory perhaps.Though this is an ensemble piece, the main focus seems to be on Tressa Silguero, aka Stella May, who has just turned 19 and in from Texas to Maimi - we learn, by the way, Miami has become a bigger hub for LA due to the lack of condom restrictions - and starts to do some videos. She enjoys it, she likes the money that she can get from sex. Not so good is when she goes back home to her small Texas town and her mother knows about what she's been doing, almost from the day that she started; porn, amateur or otherwise, gets around pretty quickly in today's internet age. One of the memorable scenes in the film shows Tress and her mother just sitting on their couch and this awkward silence between them. The mother just wants her to be safe, and Tressa can't seem to talk about it very easily - and god forbid her dad should find out.Another key figure in this doc is the guy (I forget his name) who hires nearly all of the women and sets up their shoots; he has a kind of home for them while he types away on Craigslist to get more girls. As he tells the directors, the average shelf life for these girls is six months, perhaps less, and the best they can hope for is a year in the business. The amateur porn actress is different than a porn *star*, as we learn, because of the visibility and how the amateur girl is there as a fresh face people don't know, so the longevity is different. But what's still curious, again, is how the girls get into this world knowing what this entails, that they're not pushed on to a street corner for a pimp but able to control - up to a point - how they present themselves.The 'Up to a point' part is where things get tricky and kind of terrible, as the Latina girls are sometimes put into ugly abuse videos which, apparently, get more traffic online than one would expect, and at one point Stella May does a dominatrix/S&M scene that, as we see her afterwards, she is kind of bewildered. And she has a boyfriend as well; that was something that could've been it's own movie (and maybe is somewhere), about the guys who somehow become the 'other' for these ladies in amateur porn. At first, Tressa's guy is fine with it... until he isn't, and this becomes a conflict that expands through most of the documentary. The question then continues as: how much of this is exploitation? What happens when people are watching porn with so much more accessibility, and these women become objects for people all across the world in seconds? It might've been good/better if the film had been longer and had taken more of a view of the business aspect; when it does, it's actually some of the more interesting parts of the movie, how this guy operates and recruits these women, how he has certain specific things he's looking for, how fast the turn-around is (by the end of the movie, there's a whole new group of girls at his house). It also nears being at times reality-show like, but I think a key thing separating this from some junk on TV is that a) the directors aren't trying to create any active drama or conflict with these girls in their house, it's closer to cinema verite if not as artful, and b) what the girls have to say to one another, aside from cutesy talk to their little dogs, is genuinely interesting as they talk about working on various jobs and what is good and definitely not so good for them.Hot Girls Wanted presents its subjects and lets you decide how it turns out. Of course for people like Stella-cum-Tressa, there is no longevity here, but there is the gray areas of this world that I think the filmmakers don't shy away from. It doesn't say out-right, "No, young women, do NOT do this, ever, it's bad", but of course it doesn't show it as super-glamorous either. If you show up to a house with low-rent camera equipment and lighting, and the director puts character behind the 'action', you know what you're getting into.

Hot girls wanted is a documentary about young girls who enter the porn industry. We get to see how everything starts for them (generally via craigslist), what they go through, and how fast the majority tries to get out of there. Hot girls wanted is a bit of an eye opener and some of the things you see will probably make you feel terrible about having watched porn yourself. It makes you understand ever more that most that happen in porn in just acting and nothing else. While you probably knew that, I am not sure that people are aware how much the actresses actually dislike what they do. As a cinematographic piece, the documentary is not good, and I am not sure it will be very successful as people are probably more interested in watching porn than watching a documentary against it. But if you are mildly curious about this whole industry that has taken over the world by storm, and the effects of an ever increasing number of sexually orientated images in our society, then you should consider watching Hot Girls Wanted. Warning, you may not want to watch porn for a while
