They were here until 3 a.m. and returned less than seven hours later. Today’s shoot, director
Ricky Greenwood says, may run even longer.
But the actors and crew of Under the Veil don’t seem to care.
They don’t complain about working all day in heavy robes and cumbersome headpieces—
even though the air-conditioner is off on this sweltering June afternoon. They aren’t bothered by
the dialogue-heavy, 65-page script. And no one rolls their eyes when Greenwood yells “Cut!”–

“Ricky is a perfectionist; he wants to make sure everything is juuussst right,” Tommy Pistol,
one of the stars of the film, whispers between takes. “We all respect that, especially with this
project.”
Pistol smiles gently.
“When you can sense you’re working on something that could be special,” he says. “it pushes
you even more.”
And make no mistake: Under the Veil will be special. That assumption is safe to make anytime
it involves a project by Greenwood, who in less than four years has blossomed into one of the
most-respected directors in all of porn.
