 Kimberly Kane Injects Vivid-Alt With Morphine
Kimberly Kane's second directorial effort for Vivid Alt, Morphine.
A sort of Requiem for a Dream meets Black Snake Moan, Morphine stars Audrey Hollander as a
lost druggie who harbors ambitions of becoming a Nashville singer, but can't untangle
herself from the sordid life in which she's embroiled.
"My inspiration for making this movie was actually working at a place called The
Sugar Shack, which was a strip club-slash-brothel, and taking all those hideous and
beautiful experiences and mashing it up into a really dark-undertone porn movie,"
Kane told AVN. "Audrey in a way plays me, and on the extra features, there's a thing
called The Sugar Shack Featurette, where I tell you all these things that happened in The
Sugar Shack that kind of helped me create this movie."
Before making Morphine, Kane actually flew herself to Nashville, she said, where she spent
a week "taking photos, getting high, getting drunk, really taking in the character
and where the character wanted to be. And then I came back and turned in my 'findings' and
the art department began creating what my mind saw in Nashville. So it has a realness to
it, and it has a lot of layers. It's not a one-day wonder, it's months of
preparation."
Vivid Alt head Eon McKai couldn't be more pleased with the movie. "KK has really
found her voice and matured as an adult filmmaker, and Morphine is the result," he
said. "I have learned more about putting together a sex scene from KK than anyone
else in the business. She has this crazy dirty mind that has earned her this crazy loyal
following that's clamoring for this release."
