I first noticed Kimberly Kane when she appeared in Wicked’s 2006 sci-fi release, The Visitors. She was being probed by an alien creature’s tentacles at the time. I loved the movie and was impressed with her acting skills. She had the amazing ability to pull off a sex scene with a fake space monster and make it stroke-able. Since then Kimberly has continued to rise up through the ranks to her current role as an actress & director for Vivid-Alt. Her multi-award nominated movie, Morphine, pushes boundaries. Prostitution, drugs, gun-play, and rough sex combine in a dark story-line with artsy, yet still sizzling sex scenes. Her newest film, Live in my Secrets, is another dark drama which breaks subjects previously taboo in porn films, bloody sex being just one of them. Kimberly is quirky, quick witted, and cupie doll cute. Read on for my conversation with the King of the Kane Army, Kimberly Kane.

Xcitement: So what are you doing right now?
Kimberly: Sitting on the couch, watching Curb your Enthusiasm.
X: That sounds kind of mellow for your world.
K: My world? You have no idea how mellow my world is. It is all about sitting on the couch and watching Curb and twittering.
X: I’m a couch person myself. I prefer laying down with my husband and my dog and watching a movie.
K: We are very similar then.
X: Well except I don’t tie people up and pour blood on them and have sex for my day job. So you have a good balance.
K: Yin/Yang.
X: So true. I loved Morphine by the way. You are up for a lot of awards for it. The movie was really impressive. You have got to be an anal retentive perfectionist, because every detail was well thought out.
K: Yeah, obsessively.
X: I think they should add an award for best Alt Movie to the categories.
K: Oh yeah. Wouldn’t that be interesting.
X: Well enough of my opinion. How did you come up with the Morphine movie and decide the name?
K: Did you see the extras on Morphine where I talk about when I worked at the Sugar Shack?
X: Yes I did, that was so interesting. (Kimberly had a “confessional” where she told about her experiences working at a men’s club called Sugar Shack. One of the best extras I have ever seen.)
K: Well that’s where the idea first came from was that shitty jack shack that I worked in, in Portland. Oregon. So I imagined this dark world that this girl is in and she strives for other things but in the meantime she is living this really sketchy life with these dark rooms and dark people and bad things happening. That was the original idea, than I threw in some country rock and roll kind of feeling. I went to Nashville for a week and got drunk and got high and took photos and brought that into the movie. I wanted to bring in a legitimate feeling. And then Audrey (Hollander) is a total Southern Rock crazy chick, so she was ideal for the role.
X: She was perfect, and the cinematography in the movie is so beautiful.
K: Well that’s Scarlet Von Cutter there, my partner in crime, camera woman and editor. She shot Morphine and Live in my Secrets. I shoot second camera, but they don’t use my shots very often. I just feel like I am actually doing something other then pointing my finger. Scarlet is the wind beneath my wings. She’s sitting right here, so I am just embarrassing her.
X: Well she did an excellent job. I even loved the music that was in the movie, especially the song that the movie starts with.
K: That’s Zach and his Unhappy Guitar. He is in a few really popular Rock-abily bands up in Canada. He did all that really cool bluesy stuff. You can find him on myspace.

(NL-This is the tame part, they get into guns and vaginas and sex and blood in the next parts of the interview. Stay tuned….)
