We see her chew her cereal in close-up and it's repulsive. She's pretty, but it's interesting how through most of the film Zova's character is humanized more than sexualized. She looks a bit like Lina Romay, with those dark eyes and sculpted eyebrows and slightly big ears. As they talk, we learn more about Andrea, which makes her inevitable fate all the harder to take. The only bright spot is when she gets hired for a day to escort an older man who just wants to have fun and likes to talk ( William Margold in his final role - judging by the amount of stuffed bears in the van, it's a safe guess Margold was using his own vehicle here!). She gets involved with a bad seed, a drug dealer (Chad Alva), does some fetish work.
Still needing cash, Andrea continues to work low rent sex jobs, working as a prostitute. Jim refuses to pay her before she leaves. She masturbates while she watches and a few minutes later, at Jim's behest, she joins in. Andrea is there to observe, to see if she's interested in participating in a future production. Without many options, she start answers an ad on Craigslist and meets up with a man named Jim Janos (Richard Wright) and two performers - Sunni (Li Dekker) and Sheena (Sheena Rose). The job she was offered never existed and now she's broke. She makes it to L.A., gets a place and soon realizes that she's been stood up. A minute later, her cellphone rings and she's got an offer to head to Los Angeles to make an easy two grand… and then we cut back to that ceiling fan. When a different audience member tells her not to listen to the others, that she's “worth more than that†it's clear that he's gotten her attention. Before she starts her second performance she looks into the mirror and says to herself “I'm a dirty fucking whore†yet when she gets a request from an audience member she doesn't like, she curses him out, saying to herself that she would never do that while deep throating and sleeping herself in the face with a sizeable rubber dong. When she climaxes, her face is shrouded in darkness. This might sound like a great way to make a living - if you could get paid to masturbate wouldn't you? - But it's clear that she's unhappy with her lot in life. If the imagery didn't confirm that for us immediately, the eerie, ambient music from Michael Parsons on the soundtrack does.Īt any rate, Andrea's day involves sitting in front of a Macbook high as a kite and masturbating on her webcam. It's clear that all is not well in Andrea's world. And then she spits at her reflection in the mirror. After that she does a line, showers and gets dressed, ready for her day. Once she's out of bed, she smokes some pot…and we cut to a close up shot of blood coming from between her legs. As she wakes, this footage is intercut with color shots of her doing different things - walking alongside a man in a ponytail, going down on a guy, 'brushing' her teeth. This woman is the titular Andrea Palmer (played by adult film actress Katrina Zova). The camera pans down and we see an attractive young woman asleep in her bed. Lyons', 2017's Portraits Of Andrea Palmer opens with a black and white shot of a ceiling fan. Shot on 16mm film by co-directors/co-writers 'C.
