MUNCIE -- A local film director has aspirations to turn Muncie into a Midwest mecca for the adult entertainment industry.
And he's started by directing one of his first adult films on property owned by Ball State University.

Vampire Diaries was released Friday on DVD by Glass Ceiling Studios. Muncie film director Christopher Gregory said he shot the entire X-rated film on the grounds of the Kitselman Center, home to Ball State University's Virginia Ball Center for Creative Inquiry.


Gregory said he recruited about five Ball State students as part of Vampire Diaries' cast. The film's plotline follows Dracula's daughter as she makes an appearance in the 21st century as a 23-year-old college student exploring her sexuality.

When scouting for a local place to film, Gregory said he contacted Virginia Ball Center director Joe Trimmer and received permission to film inside the Kitselman Center in August 2004, according to the location agreement signed by both Trimmer and Gregory.

Trimmer, however, was unaware the film would be pornographic.
"We would have never signed a location release had we known this would be the content," said Trimmer, who was unaware of the adult film's release until notified by The Star Press on Wednesday. "That was not the film that was depicted to us." read more
