I Didn't Ask for Fees

Ace,
I emailed Mick about this film and said I'd be happy to attend his shoot provided he wasn't looking for a fee to cover his costs.
I did not ask for a fee as I am not a professional male model unlike Marino, Pascal, Scott and other guys on the site. I was happy to give up my time and travel to the location covering all expenses myself provided the date / time / location fitted with my own schedule.
I got a reply which said a contribution was required to attend to cover venue hire, food and beer. Since I don't drink, I'd be happy to bring along my own stuff and usually food at these things is little more than a few plates of crisps and biscuits so I tend to eat an hour or two before hand.
As the filming is for a forthcoming retail DVD as well as website content, why should male attendees have to pay when the costs will be covered by both membership subscriptions and DVD resales?
Personally, I think filmmakers asking guys to pay to take part in filmings are no different than the party organisers who organise models parties. These people were vilified a while ago by both models and film makers for putting models (both sexes) at risk of infection from an STI or HIV but now all that has been forgotten and everyones back trying to make a quick pound.
I'd happily take part in the shoot if Mick hadn't asked for payment as well as the possible fine if you can't cum to his liking.
Perhaps Mick should employ professional male porn actors who can perform to command rather than asking amateurs to pay for the "privelege" of being in a film (even if masked).
That's my 2pence.
Regards
Harry
