Let's say, for the sake of argument, that I've produced my own amateur POV flick starring my very own lollipop porn bitch (Crazytown reference, I don't *really* call her that ).

Can anyone point me in the right direction as to what to do with it? Can I sell it? Should I have signed affadavits from my co-star that she is of age and consented to the acts and all that?

I don't want to get in trouble if I (or anyone else) gets caught with it! Any advice would be stupifyingly appreciated.

I think I might be on to something here. I'm sure it's not good enough to be considered by a real production company. I just did it for fun, but I'd consider doing it again and trying to raise the bar quality-wise if I knew what all was involved.

THANK YOU, any and all, profoundly.

COBALT 60: aspiring purveyor of porn! Maybe I can address that amateur market that's so underserved! Feel free to mail me, I don't get to the boards as often as I'd like.

Make sure that you find a good lawyer where you are and discuss with them exactly what you plan on doing. They should be able to advise you and set-up you up in a relationship where any legal responsibilties are tied to a partnership as opposed to you personally.

So I should set up some sort of LLC or LLP?

I've been in business before with someone else and we were an LLC, for the very reason you mentioned - to protect our personal assets. We weren't selling videos, but I see where you're coming from.

Hmmm, getting a lawyer, setting up a corporate entity, getting licenses, all that...I'm seeing work and $$$ signs.

What about sending my stuff off to a company that already exists who specializes in amateur content? Is there such a company?

Sorry for the delay...

Partnerships are good to take yourself and your personal possessions out of any risk.

You can find a good lawyer that could help you out and it is a business expense that is a write-off for taxes. The money you spend, could save you a ton.

You might also want a lawyer if you give your work to an existing distributor. How will you know if you are okay and getting your fair share with their agreement?
