Hey, new director, can you please listen to me? 😭 Bring out that new movie you made soon, otherwise, with all these hypercritical, analytical and technical comments flying around in this thread, I'm afraid the thread itself is going to get blocked before the movie arrives. 😂

I was talking about older women in general and the fact that even companies like Elegant Angel are putting in older women while GFF (which became popular while doing that) stopped around 2018 under new leadership.

What are anyone's terms? I doubt Mindi would turn down repeated offers to shoot, though, especially if they paired her with Mia Simone.

"The studio that got its mojo by pairing older women with younger women for 10+ years before losing its mojo after it stopped doing that is not going to get its mojo back by going back to the thing that got its mojo in the first place." - LezTrib

^No, I don't think older and younger women were the main reason for the studio's popularity and success. It was the sensuality, natural performances, connected storylines, environment, locations, and, most importantly, the passion Dan and his team put into their work 24/7. Those were the major factors.
The older-women-vs-younger-women concept is still happening. The problem is that it doesn't seem to be working anymore because, apart from Girlsway, audiences on other websites don't seem to want it as much.
Dan said very specifically in an interview that the vision should not be about pairing people in the first place, but about making movies. The first 10 movies should be different from the next 10 movies that's what makes a studio distinctive in the first place.

^^Why don't all the community members who have a million issues just email or tweet the new director and more than 20 year old website? 😂 Maybe that'll work. and who knows, they might even reply! 🤣
BTW, the reply will be: "You are blocked, and we've put you on spam. You're officially banned from engaging with our posts. Please enjoy the silence." 😂

^Why would I tweet at them or email them? This thread was opened specifically by GFF, and where they are hiding right now, they themselves know.
Anyway, the criticism will always continue because, lately, I haven't been happy with the content on any GG website. I just hope some serious thought is being given to reviving this already slowly dying niche content called G/G porn.

^Thanks for the credit!
The new director seems to be active now, I guess, but the studio's page on Twitter still isn't. Anyway, it's good to see that they're back to posting and updating.

BTW, please watch the interview with Charlie Forde. SHe talks about how much the industry has changed from a legal perspective and what's actually happening right now.
The link was shared in the respective Star Pool thread.
@LezTrib, you should definitely watch it!

RE: Charlie Forde. Nothing I haven't heard before, but I suppose it needs repeating.
They tried an advertising campaign here to try to encourage children and parents to be approachable to discuss it (as a way that young boys don't take everything about and in porn as legit and expect it/pressure somebody for the same in real life). The slogan was about "conversation", in one of those contemporary ways of using it as a verb. One of those hypocrisies that very nearly everybody (at least males) has watched porn, but still treats it as absolutely hush-hush.
I don't mean that they should get recommendations for quality scenes from their mother and father. haha

^^Okay, I agree with everything that is happening in this industry regarding the recession, the difficulties caused by legal reforms affecting the industry, and the issues performers have to deal with because of them.
But what about the direction and the way the scenes are being made? Are those aspects also being regulated? What about performers losing interest or not acting properly? What about seduction between two performers, which sometimes doesn't even look like seduction anymore? And what about the camera work needed to capture everything properly from a director's perspective?

I understand there are issues with finances, losses, piracy, and everything else, but even with all of that, the direction cannot be this poor, I guess.

We were all here celebrating B. Skow's farewell with Lesbian Seduction 83 😂
Then I suddenly got an email from Adult Empire saying, "Where are you going, mate?" 😭
And here it is: Lesbian Ghost Stories Vol. 9
I looked at the screenshots and thought, "Wait. this doesn't look like a B. Skow movie. Who the hell is this director then?!" 😂
Apparently, B. Skow is still haunting us. literally. 👻

After watching the trailer, I'm damn sure this wasn't directed by B. Skow. 😂
The color grading is darker, the video duration has been shortened.

^If this is the first Clouset movie, what a wet fart of a start.
If this is the last Skow movie, what a wet fart of an ending.

^I'm with you on this for sure.
But I don't think it's B. Skow. His camera work looks much brighter, the locations are a little different, and including a shower scene isn't really his style.
Though I like Chloe Foxxe and River Lynn, it's still a pass for me. I'll wait for the next one because it will indeed include Octavia Red.
The new director should come up with better ideas next time. This continuity in every series isn't going to work, even if the video duration is shorter.

What a way to start! Why not bring in a vampire next time? LOL
Oh Dan, I'm really missing you badly now. I think I might have to stop watching these scenes altogether.

If you paired up Demi Hawks and River Lynn, had Demi use her real voice, and focused on River's nice butt a lot, I could possibly be into one pairing of the eight women cast in this film.

I think I posted this a while ago in this thread, but another big problem with GFF since it changed leadership was the endless one-off casting of all these nobodies. Fanboys at the time argued that we'll never know if a performer is good unless we bring in new girls, yet hardly any of them ever got brought back. Kinda defeats the purpose, huh?

Hard to believe that less than a decade ago we'd get Lena Paul, Karlee Grey, Scarlett Sage, etc. all in the same movie.

I watched one scene out of curiosity, but it was so bad that I can't even tell you. The plot was nothing but literally a funny 2-3 minutes that makes you wonder how a studio that received so much love from fans during its golden era has completely lost its mind now.
Don't even get me started on the sexual encounter discussion, because my mind and words would probably say something that wouldn't be ethically correct.

They are just surviving on the barest of margins now, and slowly but surely, I feel they may eventually shut down completely over the next few years.

A director was just on this board saying about GG that the fans mainly want to see new performers constantly. Couple that with an increasingly apparent fact that most paying viewers don't like it when the women look as if they are enjoying the situation with another woman and you get what we have now.

When directors don't know how to direct two women or how to bring out intensity, passion, sensuality, and seductiveness in a scene, along with a proper storyline, the scene itself becomes worse.
Performances can feel fake with almost anyone, but with a good director involved, even those performances can be made believable. At that point, it doesn't matter who the performer is.
When Lena Paul, Scarlett Sage, and Karlee Grey first entered the industry, they were also considered newcomers, which people seem to forget.

I just mentioned Kenna James with Dani Daniels in the other thread. Look at what Kenna James was doing in that scene. She was a newcomer there too, because before that, she had only shot a scene with Lena Nicole for GFF. And the rest is history. Look at how much Kenna James has been loved in the industry across all kinds of scenes she has done since then.

Performers will always retire from the mainstream eventually. What matters is whether directors coming from within the industry understand the previous benchmarks and know how to execute scenes at that level.
After Nica Noelle, Ricky Greenwood did wonders for Sweetheart Video. Then there was Dan Vespoli's direction for some time, and now it's Mike Quasar.

The performers are not the issue. It's the directors and their execution-or rather, their inability to make scenes feel believable.
Even in Hollywood action movies, where you know the scenes are completely staged and unrealistic, good direction can still make them look believable. But here, nothing seems to look convincing or even good to the eye.

The directors are at fault, but not for an inability to make two 22 year old straight chicks look as if they have had sex with women before. They probably are bad at or just indifferent about making the performers say the "seduction" lines yall talk about on here though.

But their real crime is in not recognizing those few performers who don't look weird/awkward working with other women and leaning into those precious talents, using them consistently and strategically. Take this new GFF release. That Avery Wilds person looks like a performer I'd tune in for, visually. So what's the problem? Well, instead of pairing her with a hot 29-year-old WLW and/or good-acting performer who has been licking women up and down for the past 6-7 years of her life, the company has paired her with an extremely probably not into chicks and probably like 24 year old cutesy-style performer who probably doesn't even know what she likes sexually and definitely does a fake-ass baby voice constantly. The shoot was only ever going to be very stilted, posed, uncomfortable-looking nonsense. That's the failure of the producer. Neither of these two women is going to know what to do with a female, interested in/curious about women or not. I'm not even asking for some retarded younger/older meme script or whatever...just call up a performer who already knows how to finger a woman properly and can guide a shoot to make it look fluid....mainly by being the primary, sensual and physical giver.

No one's watching and learning on the job from an experienced, confident, hyper-sexual GG performer these days. It's not possible to perpetuate solid GG content this way.


By all of this I mean - and I think this is the most succinct critique of the styling and coaching and directing and producing and performing and acting that I can give - is that it all looks very unserious. Videos that look like two women having fluid, flowing, passes-the-eye-test sex are about 1 in every 100 right now. 99% unserious.


Granted, to be fair to the porn producers, it's probably hard (expensive) to coax the most savvy performers away from simply living off their creator platforms to come shoot a video they don't own.

On a totallty diffeerent topic though, holy smokes, Aria Sloane has an attractive figure.

If it isn't B. Skow and I doubt it's François who else could it be?! Mike would have advertised if he'd been hired for 1 other.
Are there interim/substitute directors that take up the occasional job?

^It definitely isn't B.skow.
As for the new director, I'm not sure. Annalena Reno has shot for them again recently, so I can't say for certain.
Wait for my review of Lesbian Ghost Stories 9. I guess it will be submitted tomorrow. Those who are genuinely interested will read it for sure. Those who are only interested in criticism without understanding the industry's issues and problems can keep doing that indefinitely. Their opinions don't matter to the studios anymore.
Recession is part and parcel of every industry, and this industry is no different. You can't expect every movie and every scene to be a masterpiece.
Even during the Golden Era, not everything was a masterpiece for sure.
My subjective opinion doesn't matter, and neither does yours.
Studios can't keep running at a loss for a long time or keep shooting every scene the same way if people don't support them going forward.

It's a good thing either the NEW director is actually posting the updates on X OR THE PERFORMER HERSELF. No need to have a social media manager now-it's best to do some cost-cutting!
Mind you, Demi Hawks was the best performer in Lesbian Ghost Stories 9, alongside Chloe Foxxe, in my opinion.

It's good to start seeing posts, updates. Should GFF start posting things themselves? Or would they be lambasted when content doesn't meet expectation or the hype.

^I think right now they're simply depending on the new director and performers to bring in a little promotion and marketing. Some PR activity has started too-I noticed a post regarding the Chanel Camryn and Maddie Wren scene streaming on the website.
Maybe they haven't hired a social media manager to handle the GFFilms X profile, so it could basically be a cost-cutting measure. Second, they're still continuing with the VOD model.
I just submitted my review of Lesbian Ghost Diaries 9, and I really hope people read the full review once it gets updated on the website, especially the final "drawbacks" section.
I don't know how long this studio can continue, but as a fan, I genuinely want them to survive for a long time. I'll keep following and supporting this studio until my last breath. There aren't many sites left providing GG scenes, and I'm basically the guy who watches GG scenes 80-90% of the time.

Gosh, yeah! I hope they survive, otherwise it'd be a tragic demise and huge funeral for them. Let's hope the owners can weather the little they get, or the almost constant criticism for releases. I'm almost feel sorry enough for them to join, if only.

If this studio are running at a loss, facing a lot of criticism, struggling to get subscribers, and not selling their VODs or DVDs, then how are they still continuing to operate?Who is financing them?
I genuinely want to understand how these studios manage to survive despite all of this. And secondly, why are almost all the scenes on their websites rated above 90%, especially during the B. Skow era?

How ratings are made is a problem: it could simply be like or not = percentage, rather than out of 4, 5, 10. There's not enough gap between like or dislike, that choice seems trivial to form an opinion.
