'Deep Throat Sex Scandal' Plans Unique Campaign for Movie

Beginning Tuesday morning, look for more than 100 bus benches throughout Los Angeles that will ask if you want a cameo in a movie about Deep Throat.

David Bertolino held a party in Studio City on Sunday night to kick-off the unique campaign to turn his hit play into a movie.

Marc Ginsburg, the actor who portrayed Harry Reems in the play, and other cast members such as Sally Kirkland, Natasha Charles Parker (who played Linda Lovelace), and others were at the party, and they will have roles in the movie as well.

Also in attendance were real-life porn legends such as Amber Lynn, Nina Hartley, Veronica Hart, Mark Kernes from Adult Video News magazine and others who actually knew some of the people portrayed in the play that were shown as being involved in "Deep Throat."

Rather than shopping the film project through the traditional ways, Bertolino is going through Indiegogo, and he said his goal is $100,000 in the next 42 days. He has more than $2,000 since the site went up on Sunday.

See the videos of Studio City resident Bertolino discussing the project, and some scenes of the party.
