Abstract
In this edited interview, psychologists Nisha Gupta and Eric Greene have a conversation with filmmakers Jill Bauer and Ronna Gradus about their documentary film Hot Girls Wanted (2015), which is a first-ever look at the realities of the professional amateur porn world and the 18- to 19-year old young women entering into it. This dialogue explores the relationships they developed with the young women they filmed, the ethical questions that arose when pursuing this kind of project, and the challenge in holding the tension between young women’s agency who engage in porn versus the social critique surrounding the amateur porn industry. Ronna and Jill have since gone on to produce the six-part Netflix documentary series: Hot Girls Wanted: Turned On, which explores these questions further.
