[Tom Lowe]

She said this on Twitter:

"The girlfriend experience is available on demand/vod today!! Directed by Steven Soderbergh, and yours truly as the lead! In theatres may 22."

What is she talking about? Where can I get this? :violent:

I bet it's on HDnet

If it's true, she'll be the first porn star to truly make a cross over into Hollywood.
Good for her! Excuse me I have to go find my fluffer.

Good for her!

How can I cross over in the opposite direction?

25 cm will do it

This is likely the case...the film is currently playing in the Tribeca Film Festival, and it is one of six films Soderbergh is making with Magnolia/2929 (owned by the same guys who own HDnet, Mark Cuban and Todd Wagner) that were originally set to be released Day-and-Date...this was the controversial move to release VOD, DVD and theatrical on the same date. It does seem odd that the film is said to have a theatrical release in May. Maybe it's playing in Landmark theaters now?

HDNet Movies is showing it on Wednesday, May 20th only. Set your DVRs!

Variety:

With characteristic eclecticism, Steven Soderbergh follows "Che," his sweeping four-hour epic about a revolutionary hero, with "The Girlfriend Experience," a small-scale, digitally shot 77-minute chamber piece about a high-priced prostitute. Despite the pic's erotic subject matter and star (vet porn diva Sasha Grey), nothing could be less sensationalistic -- or moralistic -- than this fascinating study of free enterprise in free fall. While it may disappoint thrill-seekers, "Girlfriend" should still delight Soderbergh fans and niche auds. Sundance-sneaked (in rough cut) and officially preeming at Tribeca before a May 22 opening, this arthouse gem finds the helmer in top, and truly topical, form.

Steven Soderbergh chooses a 'red' 'revolution' camera to shoot the birth of a communist government and Sasha as a girlfriend experience. I love this directors artistic statements that are buried in the very infrastructure of his film productions.
