Abbie Cat, having already worked with multiple directors, would have been uniquely positioned to navigate this dynamic. Her experience might have allowed her to assert more control over the proceedings than a typical amateur. However, the "Woodman Casting X" format often took control away from the actress, with Woodman sometimes bringing in male co-performers to the surprise of the female model.

Woodman's method has been heavily scrutinized. He is known for inviting Eastern European women to hotel rooms under the pretense of a modeling casting. Once there, he would show them pornographic material and ask them to participate in filming. Critics argue this creates an environment of manipulation and exploitation.
