As an expose of 'rock n roll' this a cliche ridden romp into mediocrity which redefines the word 'drivel.' Of far more interest is its X rated status and Brownfield's aspirations to be a credible film maker. If you are making porn films then that is a classic sign that your credibility as a film maker is around zero. As the late great Burt Reynolds said when researching Boogie Nights and I'm paraphrasing here, "These people seem to think that if Stephen Spielberg drops dead they are going to be called as replacements." And of course, Brownfield's self describing herself as an 'erotic film maker' is laughable. The Band is neither erotic as a film and especially for the participants. How erotic can it be if the participants are being instructed by her as to who to have sex with and how? Brownfield calls herself a feminist which must surely be some kind of joke. Surely women should decide who they have sex with, and how they do it? Insight is not one of her strengths. The women in The Band are described as actresses when in fact they are prostitutes. That's what women are who get paid for sex. And Brownfield is their pimp, using money to entice them. That is also, why she advertised for 'performers' on her blog, asking for 'broad minded and uninhibited women', which is just code for women willing to degrade themselves for money. In short, my goldfish would make a better film than The Band. And he also has far more credibility and respectability than Brownfield.
