Terry's feeling increasingly comfortable in the mainstream. His newest project, a semi-autobiographical film, was originally envisioned as sexually explicit. Set in California's San Fernando Valley it's about an eighteen-year-old boy whose long absent father returns to wreak havoc on his life. "His dad's been in jail and because this kid's just graduated from high school he has access to all these young girls. His dad is trying to set up an amateur porn production company with these girls. It's called Son of a Bitch." The film may center on the porn industry, but Terry says, "With every revision of the script I take out more and more sex, because everyone expects me to make an X-rated film. Why not make a real Hollywood film people can see? I want to play in the multiplexes."
Richardson in America's multiplexes? The boy who once selected his dates from the magazine rack of Hughe's Market has traveled far. At age 38 Terry Richardson has survived dope, welfare, terminal shyness and bad punk bands to become that most fortunate of artists: one who's paid well to do exactly what he wants. He can now say, "I just want to have fun; treat people good; be a good person; I'm a firm believer in Karma," because the gods have been very, very good to Terry Richardson.
