Porn Valley- For reasons known only to her, Amber Lynn keeps refusing to turn over model releases for the We Are The World shoot to Ron Sullivan aka Henri Pachard.
Truly sad because Lynn’s career death wish obstinacy is hampering the release of the movie which was supposed to help defray Sullivan’s medical expenses.
Lynn, the producer of the project, has already burned enough bridges to where Vivid has dropped out as the distributor. But, according to Jason Sullivan, talks indicate that another company would be willing to come on board to take over.
In any event, Lynn’s dismissal from the project is a foregone conclusion. However her appearance in a couple of sex scenes also has to be addressed. Sullivan says those scenes would probably have to be replaced.
I spoke to Jason Sullivan Thursday night.
“Things are starting to come together,” he says, noting that he’s been in talks with another distributor as well as an attorney. In an interview earlier this week, Sullivan said he was seeking legal advice and counsel to assist in dealing with the Lynn issue.
“We’re trying to move forward here. We’re making some progress and hope to have a tighter picture by Friday.”
Sullivan says there will be re-shoots of those scenes featuring Lynn. I asked if that meant Lynn was entirely out of the picture, Sullivan replied, “Not yet.”
“We’re getting quite a bit closer to that.”
The whys of Lynn, who’s been getting her head kicked in by other porn sites, grasping on to the model releases as some type of security blanket is guessed at by Sullivan.
“In her mind it’s always been her movie,” thinks Jason. “We’ve really come to the conclusion at the Pachard camp that this was her intention in the beginning."
Sullivan worked the shoot and I asked if that’s the impression he got.
“To some degree, yes,” replies Sullivan. “I know Amber can’t help being in the spotlight and I expect that. That’s all well and good. I thought at that point she deserved to hold the torch and bring attention to the whole thing.”
It turns out Lynn was not only holding the torch, she was holding the whole world aloft if the mock boxcover depicting her as some Statue of Liberty was any indication.
“Now she’s holding the world by the nuts,” Sullivan quips. “But this is her character. If she can get them by the nuts she’ll hang on like a pit bull. But we’re going to get those jaws released.”
“It’s a shame- she really had a chance to shine with this,” adds Jason. “P.T. really spoke from his heart in the early stages of the project. He told her, Amber, there’s no way this can be bad for you if you just let it good. You’ll get nods across the industry and everyone will hail you as heroic. Just let it go and let us finish this. But she would not. And I don’t know what it is- if it’s a self-destructive fear of success kind of thing I don’t know.”
Sullivan has heard nothing from Lynn other than an e-mail in the last few days requesting that the movie tapes be given to her. Amazed at the gall, Sullivan just ignored the communiqué.
“What am I, fucking stupid or crazy?” asks Sullivan. “But that’s where it’s at.”
Sullivan said he was also amused by the developments at Playboy Radio which cancelled my attempt to speak on behalf of the Pachards earlier this week.
According to Sullivan as things got more fucked up, even Lynn e-mailed Ron Sullivan admitting that she allowed her feelings to get in front of her rational thinking.
“She said she may have caused more harm than good. Than the following week she’s spitting fire again. We’re pleading with her to do the right thing and she’s just one thing after another. And this PAW-thing has complicated everything, too.
"I think that Bill Margold has really fucked her up," says Sullivan. "When she came to him for help on the production to get the insurance and permit, Bill saw an opportunity to sink his claws into it and made it too complicated. He impressed upon her somehow that it had to be done through this charitable entity.
"The very simple thing to do which would have been extremely effective was to make a movie in Ron Sullivan’s name and have Steve Hirsch distribute it. Nobody needs to have a 501C3 attached to it. This is only in Bill Margold’s interest. And this whole thing with Bill claiming that this was the first movie for PAW, they can’t have a movie. Bill doesn’t know what the fuck he’s doing and it’s very clear.”
Jason notes that when Lynn also got involved in a children’s AID fund back in the Nineties, that whole thing got “fucked up.”
