American Courtesans” is an intimate portrayal of modern day escorts in America. In our own words we discuss our lives, the events that led us into our profession, and the reasons we stay.

We welcome you into our world for a brief moment and will be candid and honest about what life is like for us; each of us willing to offer up our life experiences. We only ask that you listen with an open mind, and allow us to show you who we are.

Plays with the Award winning short, STALLED.

Comment by Kristen DiAngelo on April 5, 2013 at 1:32pm: It's unfortunate, but here in the US the government still regulates what goes on between two consenting adults behind closed doors... Our bodies are not our own, as much as we would like to think they are... but yes, Hilary did get arrested, as sad as it might be!

Comment by Kristen DiAngelo on April 5, 2013 at 1:35pm: The craziest thing though.. we just played in Paris at the ECU, and were then invited to screen in Rome at the MashRome Film Fest, In Europe it's such a different story.... There culture is so much more evolved than ours, and there truly is a separation between religion and state. It only served to remind me that we are just a fledgling country and are still trying to figure things out!

Comment by Kim Mims on April 5, 2013 at 2:06pm: Well I really look forward to seeing this film and the filmakers perspective about this taboo profession. Congrats on the MashRome Film Fest invite it must be extremely exciting to be recognized in such a way for your work. Best of luck to Hilary.

Comment by James Johnson on April 7, 2013 at 2:09pm: We just got notification that we are an Official Selection of San Francisco Sex Worker Film & Arts Festival! This is all coming so fast it's humbling and overwhelming!

Comment by Kim Mims on April 9, 2013 at 4:19pm: Awesome news James. Who from the film will be attending the Sacramento screening on April 22?

Comment by James Johnson on April 9, 2013 at 4:41pm: Both Kristen and I will for sure. I know that Pearl Callahan will be there and Juliet Capulet and Skylar Cruz are going to try and make it. There are a few other girls we haven't heard from yet that might attend. Also, Pearl's son was one of the people we interviewed and he might be there as well.
