CrashPad Performer Application

“Here’s the Key to the CrashPad and I want to give it to you. But first, there are rules…”

#1 Performing with CrashPad

CrashPadSeries.com is a San Francisco Bay Area-based website produced by Pink & White Productions. It is based on the dyke sex cult classic, The Crash Pad, about a clandestine San Francisco apartment where a voyeuristic landlord (played by the site’s director Shine Louise Houston) supplies keys to the pad’s pleasure-seeking visitors so that she can observe their sexual escapades through hidden cameras.

We film CrashPad episodes in San Francisco, with a crew of 4 queer/trans/women. It’s a fast, fun, and professional environment. We select performers of many genders and sexualities, ages (21-60+), people of all sizes, ethnicities, abilities, and experiences (such as amateur or professional). We prioritize Bay Area couples, play-partners, friends with benefits, and crushes who apply together.

#2 Who Can Apply

We accept year-round applications from all interested adults:

• Over the age of 21 
• Able to provide a valid US Government-Issued proof of identification
• We only film in San Francisco and can only select performers who can travel by their own means.

#3 Performer Rates

Our website CrashPadSeries.com pays an equal fee regardless of gender, race, body type, age, porn experience, how naked you want to get, or what kind of sex you choose to have on set.

Our current rate is $500 per person for a half-day shoot. (Total time on set is 2 hours from start to finish, 11am-1pm or 2-4pm.) We do not script the sex or cast people in particular roles. Instead, we collaborate with performers to shoot based on how they’d like to be presented. Sex scenes are filmed for approximately 20-45 minutes depending on how long performers want to go at it. Pink & White Productions’ performer rates range from feature film projects to short web videos, and payment depends on total time spent on location. Payment is made electronically the day of the shoot, after the scene and before the post-shoot interview.

#4 Earn Commissions

Performers can make upwards of $100/month promoting their CrashPad episode through their personal websites and social media. The Pink & White Productions Affiliate Program allows performers, bloggers, sex educators, reviewers, and fans to make a commission from each membership. CrashPad performers receive a special 40% commission. See PinkWhite.biz/affiliates for more information.

#5 Company Safety Policy 

The opinions and beliefs expressed by performers are their own and do not reflect those of Pink and White Productions INC, CrashPadSeries.com, our staff, or our affiliates. We are not responsible for performers’ actions off set or outside of their performances. As a company, all of our performers are engaged on a non-exclusive, independent contractor basis, and we take all reasonable steps, by providing standards and recommendations to our performers, to ensure that the performers are given access to the resources necessary to perform under the safest and cleanest conditions. We constantly seek the newest guidelines available from various government and health-related sources, and we base our own standards and recommendations on that information. 

Our standards while on set include respectful conduct, sobriety (performers are not permitted to shoot if intoxicated), and the understanding that emotional and physical boundaries — including safer sex arrangements — are communicated and respected by all participants. Additionally, we recommend the use of safer sex barriers such as condoms, dental dams, and gloves, which we provide. Any sexual activity can put a performer at risk for sexually transmitted illnesses (STI’s), so we encourage performers to have a clear, industry-standard STI test within 14 days of the shoot date, and we encourage performers to either avoid activities that may result in the contraction of an STI between testing and shoot dates, or to use safer sex barriers and best hygiene practices. Because many performers work for us with their fluid-bonded partners, and because we value performers’ sexual autonomy and respect their choices, we recognize that performers have the right to forgo tests and/or barrier use at their own risk. As a company policy, performers are responsible for their own sexual health. For information and resources, see our Queer Sexual Health Resources page.

We strive to create a consensual set environment for our cast and crew, and take allegations of sexual assault and consent violations seriously. In the event of an accusation through our complaint system, we conduct an internal investigation and refer to the adult entertainment industry’s trade organization, the Free Speech Coalition, which provides professional, standardized, and legal resources for producers and performers, including information about reporting consent violations. 

Content will be removed if it has been discovered that illegal behavior or lack of consent occurred on our set, or if an underage performer has been found to have falsified age documentation. Removal of content for any other reason is at the sole discretion of the company. Just as our content is by the First Amendment, so is a performer’s innocence protected by law until proven guilty. 

Frivolous claims or ‘revenge reporting’ is an offense and can have legal consequences. Our complaint system is intended for the protection of the cast and crew. Trying to get a performer’s videos removed with fraudulent claims abuses our complaint system, and comes with potential liabilities including a claim for “Intentional Interference with Contractual Relations” that might be brought by either the site or performer or both. We do not tolerate bullying, harassment, or defamatory posts, and we reserve the right to seek legal remedies in the event the complaint system is abused. For more information, see our Terms of Service.  

Attitudes of victim-blaming make it hard for performers to come forward and report abuse. Reporting abuse can be incredibly difficult, with potential financial and emotional consequences. If a person feels they have been harmed by a performer who has appeared on our site, we strongly encourage them to utilize the proper legal channels and to seek assistance from our industry’s trusted professional resource, the Free Speech Coalition’s guide to Consent Violations, which outlines multiple channels to help victims of sexual assault gain access to support. 

We also recommend Pineapple Support which provides free mental health services to people in the adult film industry, and specific to performers of color, we suggest the BIPOC Adult Industry Collective’s conflict mediation services.

• Free Speech Coalition’s consent violation guide – freespeechcoalition.com/consent-violations
• Pineapple Support’s coaching, counseling and therapy  – pineapplesupport.org
• BIPOC Adult Industry’s conflict mediation services – bipoc-collective.org

• Communities United Against Violence – cuav.org
• Bay Area Worker Support – bayareaworkerssupport.org/partners

Pink and White Productions INC strives to uphold ethical productions on all its projects. We support and comply with the Model Bill of Rights and Performer Code of Conduct, as created by the Adult Performer Advocacy Committee, created and voted upon by APAC’s members, which is composed of active workers in the adult film industry. APAC has recognized our studio as one which works to provide a safe, respectful, professional workplace where performers can trust to adhere to community standards while on set.

Safety Note: Beware of “producers” or “talent scouts” who claim to work for our company. Our only casting email is casting@pinkwhite.biz, and with rare exception, we only film in San Francisco. (If you get a message from someone claiming to work with us but is using a gmail account or wants to book you for a shoot located in another state, it’s NOT us!) Please be careful. If someone is lying about representing a company, they may also lie about payment, STI testing, or worse. Report anyone who falsifies information. Apply caution to studio producers and fellow content creating performers alike! If any correspondence raises red flags or suspicions, reach out to industry peers for referrals and advice. Your health – and the success of your career – is worth taking extra steps to ensure your safety and well-being. 

For more safety tips, particularly for new performers to the industry, see Free Speech Coalition’s INSPIRE program and connect with mentors at the Adult Performer Advocacy Committee and BIPOC Adult Industry Collective for peer support.

#6 Already applied but haven’t heard back from us?

Due to the high-volume of applicants, we may not reply to your submission. If you haven’t heard from us within six months, please apply again. We generally book performers no more than once per year. We want to give new performers an opportunity to get booked because as a small company, our production schedule is limited. If you have already performed, please wait until it’s been at least six months since your last shoot to contact us about future bookings. Performers who are local and readily available may ask to be put on our stand-by list in the event that a last minute booking opens up.
