Brazilian girl's bid to sell virginity now turns into reality TV series

Australian filmmaker Justin Sisely, who controversially filmed 'Virgins Wanted,' a documentary where a man and a woman auctioned off their virginity, has transformed the film into a reality series.

The project in the beginning was supposed to be a feature-length documentary but now Sisely is promoting it as a reality TV series - set to debut at MIPCOM, an entertainment trade fair in October in Cannes.

Sisely told The Huffington Post that now the film is a factual series and he has signed a distribution contract with a leading global multi-national distributor of TV content.

After seeing the overwhelming response, Sisely is now hoping to create a franchise.

He said that they have received over 500 videos of men and women from all over the world outlining why they should be the next person to auction off their virginity. (ANI)
