Wow, this was a lotta work. =)
Some of you have read my posts in the past and helped me on my marry way with this project and for you guys, I can't thank you enough. For those who don't know me, in April of last year with no previous experience I decided to make a movie and bought a Canon XL1, eight months later I was making the final edits ... I have no idea how I did it. I have been a Dj at " Gentleman's Clubs " on and off for the last thirteen years or so and have been nothing less than annoyed at the movies , videos, and shows that do nothing to represent the industry that I have spent so much of my life in. They lacked personality, honesty, and sensuality, and realism. That was the purpose of this endeavor.
While the preview is actually the opening of the movie and features more of the " nude/naughty " the majority of the video is dialog from interviews and situations. I say this more as a disclaimer because what you may think it is after seeing the preview may be misguided. Its a whole lot more than what the preview may imply. We did have the opportunity to show it here at a theater and had a phenomenal turnout and response. Actually the day before we showed it the " TABC " ( Texas Alcohol And Beverage Commission ) called the theater and threatened their liquor license if they showed it. After a prescreening with the general manager it was shown. They are now talking about putting it in rotation and did not loose their license over its content.
Anyhow, here's the preview. Be warned it does contain nudity. From my participation in these boards it does seem that all who are members are adults and can look at it from a production/artistic standpoint. It was all edited with VV 3 and the opening song was actually made with Acid. The DVD, which were still working on getting pressed, was made with Ulead DVD Workshop. It has a 75 min running time plus additional outtakes and three galleries.
If ANYONE is offend or bothered by the content ( I don't imagine this would be so ) please post and I will remove the links. I assume that most here can handle it and see what all went into the making of.
Thanks again guys, I couldn't have done it without ya !!! =)

"Dancers Exposed is a sexy, humorous, and provocative look into the
guarded private lives of topless dancers. From the glamour to the
decadence, from the stage to the dressing room, inside the club and out,
this film captures the essence, mood, and attitude of what has quickly
become one of America’s great male pastimes … the strip club.
Set in and around Austin Texas's premier "Gentleman's Club" (Sugar's
Uptown Cabaret), you are taken on an uncensored and fascinating journey
into the lives of ten feature performers. Through interviews, home
videos, and plenty of behind-the-scene footage, you get the rare
opportunity to witness almost every aspect of a dancer’s life. With no
stone left unturned, this sexy, sensual, and brutally honest
documentary, is truly a one of a kind."
