Katie mentions a Movie meeting on her Blog here:

"Had a movie meeting last night for the film I’m in this summer getting super excited for that! It’s going to be so much fun! My first film ever. It’s long been on my bucket list and it’s something I’ve wanted to do forever. It will hopefully open up other opportunities in the future too for some fun side projects. All sorts of fun things this year. "
Anyone know if this is a XXX movie or rather something mainstream? Would love her to do a proper hardcore movie but guessing I'm a not reading this right?? It not clear from what she says above. Anyone know?
She was contacted by someone local to her making an indie movie. Not hardcore, this movie will be released on the indie circuit etc.
When you say 'proper hardcore', I think you might not be seeing the difference between a porn star and a model that has porn in her website. To some, they're one in the same but they're very different. Porn stars are for hire via their agency to reputable companies that are vetted and have a proven track record to some degree. The talent is all tested and free of any sort of std's etc, and they work with whoever pays the fee once they've passed the approval stages. There are cases where a girl won't work with this studio or that person because of personal reasons as well.
Katie on the other hand, is a model who films exclusively for herself. She films with her friend only, and other girls.. much like Bryci and myself. Will Katie down the road go and film a 'proper' porn as you put it? I highly doubt it as she gets paid more now doing it for herself. She is in control of what she does, how she does it, how it's filmed, what the end product looks like and she makes money on the video every day onward, so not like in porn where you're paid once and that's that, you acted for the day. She is paid continually via her site and clip stores like manyvids/c4s etc.
Porn isn't what it once was, it is not uncommon for a girl to rep herself and possibly have better opportunities than if she went and signed with an agent. Different for every girl of course, and no two situations are the same. Some girls with agents kill it, whereas others... not so much.
Hope this helps man.
Katie just started doing hardcore films, and there is a totally different filming style to shooting hardcore over solo... it takes time to figure out what you're after, what you like/don't like etc. I have seen the next 2 months of Katie updates and I gotta tell you... she's getting better with every scene! The lady is a dynamo, if you're a member of her site I think you're going to be very happy.
