Hello
I am interested in getting into the production side of adult films. I know it is very hard to get into mainstream films, does anyone know if it is equally as hard to get into the adult film business?
Also, I live in NYC and had no real plans of moving anytime soon. Does anyone know where I can start in terms of what companies are based here or where to look for shoots in general?
My goal is to eventually start my own website that will deal with some sort of mix of comedy and porn clips, but I have to start somewhere!
I know a bit about adult films, but I can't expect to run my own website without some kind of experience. I just want to do something like PA or camera operate or something...I do have a college degree in the media field, so that should help.
Again, if anyone knows anything that can help me, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Just so you know - it is illegal to shoot porn in NYC. People do it but you could be prosecuted for it if caught. The only place it is legal is California.
Right now, getting in on the porn business will be tough. There is an overstauration of DVDs and sales are down. As for the internet, that would be easier but its also not easy. There is far too much free porn to be found and there are already major companies doing business on the net you will have to compete with.
You will have to look at developing a niche site.
Good luck.

If I were to move to Los Angeles, though, would it be relatively easy to get into the business? As I said, I am very willing to start low, doing menial production work.

I seem to remember a company called something "Black Mirror" which looked like they filmed some of their stuff in NYC.
(They are infamous for a title called "Bong Water Butt Babes" my recommendation is to never watch it because you won't be able to un-watch it)
I don't know if they are still making XXX stuff.

this is their site
It claims to have "Sleazy NYC sex"
But the stuff from them that I have seen was a little on the repulsive side for me, but you might want to contact them.
