56. BANGERS

This small office building is home to a small pornography production crew.  The owner, Chester Smalls, was making his dream come true, he was making an epic action film… but he was cutting corners every step of the way, doing a lot of rogue filming without permits, he never acquired insurance, and he  was using uncertified stunt men and pyro-technics guys.  He also had been in a lucky position and had managed to court a young but rising star, Luke Swanson, who had already achieved national notice for his performance on a television cop show.  Unfortunately, his cost cutting included safety measures, and the young actor along with 3 crew members were killed in an explosion that went horribly wrong.

Chesters face was badly burned in the accident, but he was able to grab the footage that had been filmed and as much equipment as he could, and fled to the Combat Zone.  However with his face plastered all over the news, he was soon recognized.  Stomp Street approached him, offering him protection, but in return he would have to make the movies Stomp wanted him to make, pornography.  Stomp promised that one day they would fund him the money to finish his film, and even help with his legal fees… but this quickly turned out to be a pipe dream, as they have more or less kept him captive in the Zone, churning out skin flicks.  Chester has however, been making headway in meetings with Carnicero and has been given the go ahead to finish his action film as a porno, provided he does not leave the Zone. 

Bangers Studios knocks out about 2 films a week.  Most tend to have a heavy gang influence, and feature a majority of Hispanic actors and actresses.  They are  small quick films, but a few of them have been a bit edgier or more artistic in nature.  He is also fond of using cyber-enhanced men and women, and even pairing full conversions with unaugmented partners.  Stomps main pimp, L’il Miggy despises Chester, and vice versa, as Chester refuses to allow Miggy to use his girls, or to get in on the action… Though Miggy has started making his own, much more abusive and exploitive films, which Chester is forced to edit and produce.
