When we do casting calls for various projects we get a ton of response simply because we have an established history of production. A film of this type is a delicate thing to produce. We've done similar, but non-nude projects and even those sometimes cause problems for us with our client base.

Yeah, if you do a casting call for a soap opera and then ask the actress to strip, it's going to cause some confusion.
This is called "erotica;" so what? A lot of companies do "sexy" nudity without pornograpy nowadays. We're talking about the same kind of thing, except having the actresses try to act like something besides mindless sl*ts for a change.
I'm not saying that would be easy, but if you're heading from the opposite direction, and trying to go from complete mainstream to the kind of all-ENF film we're talking about, I think you're barking up the wrong tree. The most you could end up with would be another Porky's, but (If you "pushed" the issue hard enough) maybe it would have a few seconds longer shower scene.

Because distribution might be challenging, consider selling the finished product to a subscription cable network (showtime, for example.) If the quality is decent (or average), sometimes they pay $250,000 to $350,000 for exclusive rights to broadcast the film.

Or, better yet, how about getting Speilberg onboard? I'm pretty sure we're not talking about the same thing at all here. Even those lame-brained softcore porn pieces of crap can get sold on this scale -- not because they are any good, or even particularly successful, but because they are a known commodity. What we're talking about is a competely NEW concept. This is not the kind of product you can just sell like the ten-thousandth action/adventure film made this year. This market will have to be built up from scratch. And that means starting small; getting in on the ground floor and working your way up.
