You never know what to expect from a Kay Brandt movie. The writer/
director seems to understand that what her fans really want is
something different, unexpected—and she delivers. Though there is
one thing you can count on: Heavy in plot and dialogue, her movies
give adult performers a chance to show off more than their sexual
prowess.
The standout in Naked is Britney Amber. In arguably her biggest
role to date, the wide-eyed blonde plays a bank employee who likes
to “commune and connect with nature” on the weekend. But she’s
looking for something more, so she auditions for a reality show where
she’ll spend 27 days in the wild—and in the buff. (Brandt wrote the
movie, which is based on her own novella, because she was fascinated
by the reality TV show Naked and Afraid.)
“I have far more survival skills than most of the people who sign up
to be on this show,” Cadence (Amber) tells nice-guy boyfriend Chris
(Donnie Rock). And though he expresses his doubts about the whole
deal (“Naked. With a stranger. Of the opposite sex. For a reality
show. … It’s just insane that you or anyone else would want to put
yourself in that position.”), ultimately he comes around.
“Thank you for supporting my special brand of crazy,” she says.
Once she’s on the show, Amber embraces the world director
Brandt creates for the cast. On one hand, Mia Li plays the show’s
demanding producer—but her two crew mates (Small Hands and
Logan Long) know her soft spot (“your vagina!”) and are willing to
share. On the other side of the camera are Amber and her partner in
Sparks Fly Left, Derrick Pierce and Britney Amber get a fire going in the wilderness. Right, Amber before she casts aside civilization’s trappings.
the adventure, a survival skills instructor named Jackson
(played by Derrick Pierce). Their connection is immediate
and intense, and together they make it through an ordeal
that involves bad water, a bug-based diet and bundling
together for warmth (and more) at night.
The real story unfolds after the show wraps, when
Cadence longs to reconnect with Jackson even while
she’s still involved with Chris. And though she thinks
Jackson’s unattached, he has his own complicated home
life: He shares girlfriend Roxanne (Chanel Preston) with
her other lover, Zane (Ryan Driller). They’re all perfectly
happy about the situation, which we see in the movie’s
second boy/boy/girl threesome.
Ultimately, Naked ends with a cliffhanger—one that
many fans will want to see resolved with a sequel.
Hopefully, the powers that be at Adam & Eve will be
curious too!
