ON THE SET | | By Tod Hunter
LIGHTS,CAMERA...
Coffee, Tea, or Ryan Driller?
Getting ‘The J.O.B.’ done with Drake, Akira and the Wicked crew
Everybody know their lines? Any questions?” and gets nods and mumbles of
assent before he points out that’s his line at the top of the scene. The run-through
of the lines redoubles the confusion as Drake, dressed as a flight attendant for the
extra part in the fake movie, asks Armstrong, “Am I mad about what she’s doing,
or am I disgusted, or am I turned on?” which sounds like a real question until
Armstrong responds, “Aren’t you cute. This is porno. The hot flight attendant is
always feigning disgust yet is inwardly turned on. That’s the way it works.” When
Drake stutters out “G-got it,” it becomes clear that that’s the dialogue.
As the real scene in the fake movie begins, Zoë gets kissed by Ryan Driller,
leading the reporter character to exclaim, “I can’t do this!” and Driller responds,
“It’s okay. They told me you were tested,” starting the seduction of Zoë’s
character. To further cement the foreshadowing, Asa leers directly at Jessica’s ass
as she walks away.
Very meta. Brad is playing the director
in the movie—and he’s also directing

the movie.
—Asa Akira
The sex scene begins. Cameraman Alex Ladd squats in the aisle, framing his
shot on Asa and Driller kissing, as somebody walks past the set, casting a shadow
on the frosted window. “We’re rolling! Cross behind the lights!” When they
start over, Asa aggressively climbs on Driller’s lap, her skirt riding high revealing
her bare ass. Armstrong directs “Open it up, spread that leg, baby” and they
accommodate the camera to show Driller finger-fucking her, going straight to the
G-spot. With a low, throaty “Oh fuck” she crouches down, fumbles with his pants.
His cock pops out, she licks her lips and goes for it. Now it’s his turn for the low
giggles. She mutters unintelligibly, her mouth full, he reaches down to finger her
and she yells “OH FUCK!”
He sits in the fake-airplane seat, and she positions herself to the side and
gobbles his dick. She scoots her legs up the seat, dropping her pussy on his face
while still sucking his cock, eliciting low chuckles from the crew as they watch
this upright sitting 69. She moans “Oh fuck! Fuck me please.” He does. She leans
back, holding herself up with sheer muscle control as he pounds into her. “Fuck!
Oh my GAWWD!” she howls as she grins in Drake’s direction (they’ll shoot
Drake’s reaction shot later) then turns her attention back to Driller. She jumps
down to suck him, smirks at the absent Drake again, then turns to lock into eye
contact with Driller, her exclamations echoing through the small cabin. Armstrong
says, “Asa, look over here.”
“Is the camera Jessica?”
“Yeah.”
She looks into camera, then turns and gags on Driller’s cock.
Driller stands up, pulls her up, pulls one leg up, starts fucking hard into her.
She has one foot on the seat, one hand on her clit, lost in pleasure. Maybe she’s
acting, but it sure looks good. She looks in my direction. I would break eye contact
to avoid distracting her but she doesn’t see me, she’s in her own world. “Yes!
Right there! Right! There! FUCK!” Her ass is spread wide as he pounds her. When
Armstrong says, “Go for the softcore pop” she pulls away, pulls off the condom,
starts sucking, gagging as he growls. Driller does his fake-pop spasm and groan,
and Asa moves up for a kiss. Cut.
As towels and bottles of water are handed to the performers, Armstrong, trying
to piece together what he needs for hard and soft from memory, asks, “What
positions did we do?”
Ladd laconically replies: “All of ’em.”
vehicles, at rural swingers’ resorts, in an occasional isolated public park, and
Adult movie shoots can take place anywhere. At private homes, inside moving
sometimes, sometimes, in a real professional studio in a full-sized mock-up
of a jumbo jet cabin.
This is where Brad Armstrong is shooting The J.O.B. for Wicked Pictures, a
contemporary story of a reporter (played by Jessica Drake) following porn star
Asa Akira (played by Asa Akira), who has written a best-selling book. The script
draws in current-events references like the Porter Ranch gas leak; the water crisis
in Flint, Michigan; and the ongoing presidential race. The titular J.O.B. is a satirical
description of porn: “Jerking Off Boys.”
“It’s an awesomely put-together script,” Drake says. “My reporter character is a
little naïve and she doesn’t have a great understanding of what porn is. I’m invited
to a set, I meet Asa, I talk to her, I watch her work, I interview her, and she takes
me through her life. Some things happen and there’s some sex, and then there’s
sex, and then some more sex,” she adds with a laugh.
Akira is tasked with playing porn star Asa Akira, which isn’t as easy as it sounds.
“It’s hard to play yourself, I think,” Akira says. “Now I have to act natural, which
is really hard to do when people tell you to do it. Jessica is playing a reporter named
Zoë, and she comes to interview me and I essentially turn her and pull her in to
the dark side. I think I open her up a little bit, sexually. In the scene we’re about
to shoot, she’s playing an extra. I convinced her to be an extra in it. And then—she
has a little bit of fun on her own with my male co-star. Off camera. On camera. Very
meta. Brad is playing the director in the movie—and he’s also directing the movie.”
As the scene gets ready to start, Armstrong casually asks “Everybody ready?
