(EMAILWIRE.COM, September 14, 2006 ) LOS ANGELES -- Vivid-Alt, the alternative XXX film imprint of Vivid Entertainment Group, teamed up with the popular adult blog fleshbot.com to give one lucky fan the chance to win a role in the upcoming Vivid-Alt movie, “EastSide Story.” The contest was to promote the August launch of the website www.vividalt.com.

Krist Sorge, the winner of the Vivid-Alt Weekend Prize Package, hopped on a plane from New York to Los Angeles, to be personally met by Vivid-Alt producer Eon McKai. Sorge was selected winner by McKai, director Vena Virago, and sexy Vivid-Alt actress Dana DeArmond.

"I wrote this essay where I said it was my grandfather's dying wish that I be in or witness a porn movie being made," said Sorge of his winning entry as to why he should make his porn debut with Vivid-Alt. A freelance commercial casting director in New York, Sorge learned of the contest through a visit to fleshbot.com.

After his arrival in L.A. Sorge immediately hit the studio for a little one-on-one time with Dana DeArmond before their “spumoni” date, another perk to winning the “So You Want To Be A Pornstar” contest. “It wasn’t until recently that I found out my grandfather was named ‘Onofrio’…and he was polyamorous,” he confided to DeArmond.

During his visit to L.A. Sorge was also introduced to the ever-punk director Virago. “‘EastSide Story’ is about how the art scene and the porn scene mix,” she declared. “The movie takes a hardcore look at the hipsters and graffiti-art-types who inhabit the neighborhoods east of Echo Park in L.A. and is part documentary and part ‘art happening.’”

“I expected it to be surreal and un-erotic,” stated Sorge wryly on his time in Los Angeles. However, his walk-on, speaking role in “EastSide Story,” date with Dana DeArmond and attending a studio party proved to be a hit.
