Cole has a “tremendous lesbian porn fanbase” Mills pointed out, revealing that it
was her first time working with the actress. AT brand ambassador and girl-next-door
Lovings was a shoe-in for her part, while campers Parker, Ivy, and Green are rising
stars that attracted Mill’s attention for casting.
For the counselors, “I kept picturing in my head that they’re like Roald Dahl villains,
so, I needed to get a group that I knew was gonna have a lot of fun with that,” Mills
said. “Charlie is one of the most underrated performers in the business. She’s a great
sex performer, a great actress, and she’s really accomplished behind the scenes as
a producer-director. I knew because of her accent and because she’s so poised
that she would make a great dictator type of counselor. “Codi, I love—she has this
Cheshire Cat-style smile, which is super-cute and sweet, but kind of a little evil and
she knows it, and she can definitely play a good domme and kind of a bratty top,
so, I knew she would be good as our overly unhinged counselor,” Mills added.
The director approached Luna, another AT brand ambassador who usually plays
sweet girl characters and offered her the role of “the most evil villain of all, and she
was like, ‘I am down!’ So, that was like a delight to be able to have so much fun,”
Mills said, crediting th actress with giving her character a sinister laugh.
Of Strella, she said, “I was really impressed with her from working on some past
lesbian projects, and we when we were doing a podcast interview, she actually told
me that she had a real-life cult experience, and as soon as she said that, I was like,
‘You know what, I was thinking of doing this movie in the spring...’”
Locke, who rounds out the counselors’ quintet, Mills said, “is so talented and she
did a fantastic job in this movie—her part it was just a dialogue role, but she nailed
it.”
Lana Smalls and Scarlett Skies are cast in flashback roles, playing Luna and Locke
as young lovers. “They were amazing,” Mills said. “I had no idea that they actually
are roommates and good friends in real life—so, it was a good coincidence.”
Mills said the feature will release first as a trilogy with episodes dropping in
May, June, and July. Then, a full-length, director’s cut will drop in time for awards
consideration, with a four-hour run time. A fully edited R-rated version will also be
separately released on movie and social media platforms.
“it’s not just a hacked software version,” Mills noted. “We legitimately shot this
movie so it can be released as an R-rated movie and so we can try to get it out there
as much as possible because it’s not just a perfect summer movie.”
Emphasizing that, above all, the movie was produced to entertain the audience
and appeal to the straight male gaze like most of her work, Mills added, “A lot of the
stuff I’ve done in the lesbian space—I like to be able to deliver, at the surface level,
on some of the most popular tropes and themes and dynamics that fans look for,
but to also have the sort of underbelly. Trojan horse subject matter that is actually
quite serious. ‘Conversion Camp’ provides space for us to explore the stories.”
