Hello Everyone!!
I am intersted in becoming an adult film's screenwriter. I don't know if there is anyone out there who could give me some good and honest information on the subject.
Thanks

Hi,
don't expect making a lot of money! I think $ 350 is the average fee for high-end pictures. The highest salary I've heard of is $ 750 for Martin Brimmer (who's already won several awards), and even he says you have to do other jobs on the side if you want to survive.
Furthermore, expect your screenplays to be hampered by bad direction/acting.

I can tell you it's not easy and it doesn't pay that well. I wrote a movie called "Wanderlust" for Sin City, "Jimmy Bone in Search of Awesome Pussy" for VCA, "Guilty Pleasures" for Wicked and two that aren't out yet "Freak Show" by Sin City and one untitled thing they are shooting next week. In each case, it took someone I knew, performer or director to get the script sold.
I don't know about an average, but 350 is damn good. I got more than that only once, and that was for Guilty Pleasures. (And I didn't end up credited for that one anyway, they gave it to someone else.)
Most companies don't look at scripts because it's usually cheaper to do them in house, but if you can get a performer (Especially a contract girl) to really like one, it makes things easier.
If you've got any more questions, I would be glad to help in any way I can.

Rog,
Cool to hear you wrote some scripts (and actually sold them ) I only thought you did reviews, interviews, pipeline and dream about Kaitlyn all day )
Could you tell us, according to you, how well the script was used for the movie and how different was the final movie from what you had in mind?
Thanks,

Hello
Thank you to everyone who replied. Thanks for the extra advice Roger. I really appreciate it. I just would really like to sell a script. Not so much for the money, but just the idea I could sell a script. With main stream films you have to an agent and blah, blah, blah. I figured this way would be easier to get a script sold.
Do you know where i could find a copy of an adult script?? I would like to see their format. Even though there is "no real" format for writing a script.
Thanks again for the help!!

I asked your question during the Antonio Passolini chat - his answer was to send the scripts to VCA. You can [url=467058]read the transcript here</A

Evil Angel doesn't do mostly features, but we do them now and them.
Anyone is welcome to send a synopsis (or possibly the actual script) to my email. THIS GOES DOUBLE FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE ALREADY SOLD A SCRIPT THAT HAS GOTTEN PRODUCED. (Hint, hint, Roger...) I am actually planning features, not gonzo.
Some hints for any aspiring screenwriters that I think most adult directors would agree with:
Keep the dialogue fairly simple and natural.
Don't use too many locations (especially difficult ones) unless you want to turn the production into a really high-budget one. Most porn directors don't spend a lot of money on locations.
Don't use too many scenes that require extras. Again, this is more difficult for a lower-budget movie.
Try to give a somewhat believable reason why the characters decide to have sex SO often. (This is a hard one for me.)
Don't put any one in EVERY single scene. EXCEPTIONS can be made on this for contract girls.
Vary the type of sex scenes. (Not all 1 boy/1 girl, 2 boys/1 girl, etc. UNLESS there is a theme to the movie. (A gangbang movie, an all-girl movie, etc.) Even then, try to vary the number of people. An all-girl porn can include guys in non-sex roles.
Don't be offended if the director wants to make a bunch of changes to make his shooting easier. If this does bother you, sell your script to someone else instead.
MAKE SURE YOU GET PAID! (Take my word on this one.)
I would also recommend getting it in writing from the director/producer that your name will be credited on the video.
Finally, remember that although porns can also be good movies with good scripts, it can get by with a weak script. However, the point of porn IS to watch the sex.
Good luck!

I mostly do reviews, but the script thing is something I've always liked doing. 3 are on shelves so far, 1 is shot and another is shooting as we speak.
As for how they turned out, that depends. Wanderlust and Awesome Pussy were funny because none of the girls actually spoke English. With all humility, I think there were some funny jokes in AP (A Bond thing), but it's hard to understand any of them. (Who cares, Silvia Saint and Nikki Anderson do anal in the movies.)
Guilty Pleasures on the other hand came out incredible. They made a number of changes to the script, but they all make sense. Sure, my version had more plot development, but nothing vital was cut. I was on set with the director (Michael Zen) and he was very helpful in showing me why something was cut. (BTW, great chat guest if you can get him.)
Now, if only Kaitlyn will come back and do the movies I wrote for her years ago :-)
