Tony Comstock Needs Women (Vocation vs. Avocation)
Throughout my professional life I’ve always had avocational side projects. To an artist, side projects are what an R&D lab is to a technology company; a place where inquiry can be conducted free from expectation of (profitable) result. These films of mine - MARIE & JACK, XANA & DAX, etc. started as an avocational side project. Pure inquiry. The simple desire to see the images in my head realized.
These films are no longer a side project (to put it mildly.) Making them, and then bringing them to the world has become an all-encompassing obsession, with (if I let it) a virtually unlimited capacity to devour my time. I have not made a single creative or professional decision that wasn’t these films in perhaps four years. I have not made a single avocational image since the Summer of 2001, back when we shot MARIE & JACK.
It’s time for that to change.
As noted in my last post, I have images of women rolling around in my brain. As these images are unrealized, the only way to explain them is with a series of (possibly) unrelated thought:
I love the look and craft in Playboy of the late 60s and early 70s, but the obsession with youth and perfection is off putting. And I loathe the gynophobia. Being properly socialized, I’m more turned on by women who are age-appropriate for me. Also, because I am properly socialize, I love women’s cunts.
I want to like Abby Winters, with it’s sense enthusiasm and sponteniety, but my heart breaks a little whenever I see how digital photography renders light rolling over a fleshy hip. And I stopped caring about the gender of the photographer back around 1988, when I realized there wasn’t really any (gender informed) difference between the images made by Hank Londoner and Suze Randall.
So, with that rambly preamble, here’s the call for models:
CALL FOR MODELS
Women age 36-48 wanted for a new photo study from award-winning filmmaker Tony Comstock.Posing will range, by agreement between model and photographer, from semi-nude and/or semi anonymous to explicit and fully identifiable. (Plain english, we decide together how much of your face and twat show.)
Photography will take place in Midtown Manhattan. If you are interested, or have any questions, please contact Tony Comstock at [tony at comstockfilms.com] with the subject line “New York Women”
So there it is. Please pass this along, tell a friend, etc. If you have a blog, please feel free to repost. Thanks!

Being of the male gender, it doesn’t sound as though I might qualify as a model for this shoot. But spending much of my time on the other side of the camera, I certainly would enjoy helping you shoot it.

Ugh, why can’t this call be for 18-23 year olds in Milwaukee. We’re quite the untapped talent pool over here, don’t cha know??

The first time in my life I have ever wished to be twice my age (almost)!
I look forward to the results.

I love that you are doing a project with older women! I will post a link in my blog.
October 9th, 2008 at 9:22 pm
Welcome back!
I heard from Always Aroused Girl that you are going to send a copy of one of your movies off to one lucky commenter. I hope it’s me

Tony, It sounds like a worthy project. Good luck with it!

All my life I was attracted to women that were over 40. Even though I dated females my own age usually, and as the norm, I was always most aroused when I was with an older woman. I think that it is fantastic that you give these women the attention that they deserve. I do appreciate the “flowers of youth” and those toned hard bodies and flawless skin, but there is so much more to appreciate with a woman who has lived in the body that they have and they know what and who they are.

My husband and I were just talking about how sexy some older women were. We live in northern VT, where there are plenty of Canadians milling about, and he feels that older Canadian women are sexier than older American women (at least those around here) - that they keep themselves up better. I’m not so sure about that. I’m still dealing with the whole “you have to be stick thin to be sexy” thing LOL.

i have 3.2 more years before i’d be of age, but i too am absolutely thrilled you are doing this project. i hear that we all just get better with age! kudos to you! peace, e

you know what makes me sad about this?
i’ve NEVER in my life wanted to pose nude, never, and yet this is so damn enticing EXCEPT for the part where i can’t afford the time off or the trip to new york.
not to mention that i’m 37 and fit but not skinny and i really really really feel you on the teenage booty of abby winters. my personal pet peeve is with women who look like skeletons being sexy but women with curves somehow aren’t…
i can’t wait to see the results, let me know if you’re ever in toronto.

I wish you were looking for ladies a bit older. My wife is 57 and was asked to be in Playboy back in the 70’s. She was very inhibitied back then. She now regrets not doing the shoot. She still looks great. She would do it now in a heart beat. Oh well. I also came from allways aroused girl’s site in hopes for the movie. I think I will be back to see how this all turns out. Thanks.

Hi, Tony. This sounds like a really interesting project. I read about your free gift of a movie on AAG’s blog and had to drop by.
October 10th, 2008 at 10:28 am
An exciting project! Can’t wait for the results.

Your work is refreshing. I love porn but I get tired of the standard stuff. I’m more of a voyeur type and like to see real couples making love. Keep up the great work.
October 10th, 2008 at 6:00 pm
I’m glad to see that women of all ages are being embraced. Though I’m much too young for your casting call, I wish you the best of luck!!
October 11th, 2008 at 3:46 am
yea! this is right-on for so many reasons … gotta love 35yr old+ women, gotta love partial nudity, gotta love “faces and twats”
love your movies, look forward to this too.
October 11th, 2008 at 9:03 am
I want to email you since I am interested but the blonde in me cant figure out the email address to write to you to..HELP!
October 11th, 2008 at 1:26 pm
While I’d love to be in NYC again, I’m too old. *sigh*
October 11th, 2008 at 2:04 pm
i would love to pose, but sadly you’re not in my location and i’m just a bit too young. i would love a free movie however….
October 12th, 2008 at 5:01 pm
I’d love to see my wife in a photo shoot.
But alas, I’m sure she would never do it.
It would be a long trip from Oregon
October 13th, 2008 at 5:24 pm
I never thought I’d return once again to being upset that I’m too young for something. Good luck with the videos. I eagerly await them.
(Thank you, AAG for pointing me in this direction!)
