Whore (2008) Online
Caught between reality and hallucinations, hopelessness and hope, intoxication and sobriety, Thomas Dekker's new film "Whore" explores the dark side of people's inability to let go of their dreams even in the face of the harshest life. A large group of teens living on the streets of Hollywood and selling their bodies to stay alive struggle with the movie business that continues to slam one door after another in their face. The film dives deeply into their mental escapes and fantasies, the only thing that can relieve them of the dire situation they've found themselves in and the toll that futureless hope can take on their friends, family, and most importantly...themselves.

None of the actors were given the full script, or much indication of what the whole film was. The actors were given only their scenes. This was done because many different styles and genres play throughout the film and Thomas Dekker did not want the style of one scene to interfere with another.
Much of the film stars non professional, non S.A.G. actors and this footage was obtained during the latter part of 2007 while Thomas Dekker was simultaneously acting in the television series Terminaator: Sarah Connori kroonikad (2008). The scenes with professional actors were filmed during the spring/summer of 2008.
Some scenes were filmed with a full crew in sound stages, others were shot with just the actor and the director shooting the footage himself on a hand-held camera.
The film was shot with many different cameras on many different stocks including 35mm, 16mm, 8mm, HD, 24p digital camera and a Canon photographic camera.
First screenplay written and directed Thomas Dekker.
