About Making It Big
Unlike any movie about the Hollywood casting system, MAKING IT BIG takes us on a ride behind the scenes into an acting workshop that trains its girls in what really counts in the world's movie capital: sexual performance! Our story begins with a young country girl named Cherry who has won a scholarship in the DuMar Manor School of Acting. She is informed their training method may be a little unusual but has proven to be highly effective. Cherry gets intimate lessons from several "instructors" on proper technique. She soon realizes the only way to beat out her arch rival Liz is to challenge her to a one-on-one competition during an audition for Hollywood's biggest, richest, movie producer. The winner will literally be MAKING IT BIG!
Directed by Vincent Davis, Making It Big leans on a strong ensemble — Jacqueline Lorians, Desiree Lane, Jody Swafford — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1984.
