Nina Mercedez is an underground photographer living in Silverlake. She specializes in portraits of her one-night stands, captured as she prefers to remember them: sleeping. Then she meets Robert, her artistic match. Is he worth putting down the camera for? Is a lifetime with one better than a night of a lifetime? Watch David Stanley’s Before I Wake. And watch what develops.
Nina Mercedez is a photographer whose subjects are her conquests, all snapped in post-coital slumber. And while she does get to add a couple portraits to her wall, she is far from the only girl getting a little action. — Critical Rating: AAAA (AVN)
The whole thing is captured beautifully in digital video by David Stanley, who makes especially great use of natural light. While Mercedez is clearly the star, her co-starlets all turn in solid performances both in and out of their clothes. Holly Hollywood is particularly fun to watch thanks to her joyous romp with Eric Masterson.
