No, a better comparison is Arista Records and Sony records.

Arista is a subsidiary of Sony BMG, just like Vivid-alt is owned by Vivid, one of, if not the, largest adult entertainment provider and porn label.

Jadetree in this context would be someone like Tony C's label. Or Mach 2.

I wonder if it's in the spirit of alt to explain alt-porn in terms that hide its link to a large 'mainstream-porn' conglomerate. I think it is. Most amusing.

Probably true. I suppose it's no less silly than when everyone started talking with enthusiasm about Avril Lavigne's music as 'tetris pop', or the current 'emo' discussions. The problem with these terms is that from one person to the next, nobody's really sure what they're actually talking about. Is 'emo' Panic at the Disco? I thought 'emo' was actually Jimmy Eat World? I actually think one needs a Forsterian blend of nerdiness and confusion to do the whole cultural branding of alt justice. That said, one of the charms of counterculture has been its disinterest in precision and conformity.

As for your work Mr McKai, quite impressed with all that I've seen. I know Roger T Pipe hated your Neu Wave Hookers, but I can't help but feel it was a case of a porn afficianado affronted by the bravura work of a mischevious, innovative director unafraid to blend his pastiche and homage into something a little smart-arsed. I still think ART SCHOOL SLUTS is the best thing you've done, but don't take that as an insult to your newer work.

I wanted to ask you if you are at all interested in your work appealing more to already-established porn fans or to lure non-porn fans into the fold. I suspect it's a case of the latter. Do you believe there is a specific type of girl who suits your movies, or would you like to see a revolving door of porn stars starring in them?

Okay, let's try again:

An average record on the Sony label sells _________ copies.

An average record on the Arista label sells _________ copies.

An average record on the Jade Tree label sells _________ copies.

An average DVD on the Huster label sells ________ copies.

An average DVD on the Vivit.Alt label sell ________ copies.

An average DVD on the Comstock Films label sells 6000-8000 copies. (And counting. So far each of our titles have sold more copies each year they've been in release than the previous year. I'm sure at some point they'll start to tail off. But it hasn't happened yet.)

The problem here is not with any of the specific titles that carry the ‘alt’ label, but with the label itself. The main criticism seems to be that branding this new style/genre ‘alternative,’ is a bit of an overreach. That is to say that the end product can’t possibly live up to the hype or authentically have that ‘alt’ vibe, especially since the label itself is so closely related with one of the biggest names in the game. From the perspective of the consumer, it’s a marketing stunt another way a monopoly firm can repackage its own goods and resell it as not just an alternative to itself ie… vivid ‘alt’ but perhaps to take it one step further even the anti vivid.

Look as a consumer (FYI…80% of my 25 + disc collection are Vivid/Wicked dvds, so I’m not a vivid basher) it’s the marketing of these movies that has generated the backlash and not the movies themselves. Again using an analogy from the recording industry might be helpful, why not brand these movies as ‘neu wave’ porn or something like that? Which is less ambitious and perhaps better describes the great new things y’all are creating over there!

I like the "alt porn" movement or at least the little bit of I have seen so far. I think that little details interesting set design and costuming make for much more enjoyable porn.

I really like the Vivid Alt films. To me they are fresh and creative. I wish them well and think they are doing something really unique. I own "The Rebelle Rousers", "Skater Girl Fever" and "Girls Lie." All are different and interesting. I look forward to "East Side Story" and what they have planned for 2007. Most people can't see past the tattoos but these "alt" actresses (Ms. DeArmond, Ms. Angel) show a real intelligence and sharpness in addition to their looks.

I just wish it was easier to find the autographed copies. :)

Brian

P.S. Best of luck with "Dana DeArmond Does The Internet," Dana. I'm sure I will purchase it soon.

noted... and I would argure now that I control the PR allot more at Vivid-alt... I fell it's allot less annoying... I would love to know what alienates you or pushes you over the edge... that would be useful info...


why alt... because it was an established sub janra.. .we or I did not make it up... we are apart of it... I'll I did was bring it to hard core DVD.... or what we some times call REAL PORN....

and to be honest... I never thought the main stream porn market would know who I was... so at first I was just trying to let my tribe know I was there.

I needed those alt porn fans to buy DVDs so I could make more movies.

this link give you an relly good idea of what it is
http://www.fleshbot.com/sex/altporn/

so if we used another name like you sugested we would miss are audance and thats the game. Or it was... I think now as a PR thing some one could do that to set them selfs apart from the growing alt porn pack.

People who know me... know that I have allot of respect for my elders in this biz. I have meteors I speak with when I find my self needing guidance. Old VCA people I met as things were fading there.

But it's odd that a movie called New Wave Hookers needed to be handled like the dead sea scrolls. Lets be real here... I showed my jen what was so amazing about that moive and that time. I can only emagen it fed my generations fascination with 70s and 80s porn. That was the most amazing revew I ever got...... it was like being fag bashed honestly...

as far as what aduance I go for.. that has changed and matured and tailored it self to the make up of the audience. ARt Scholl Sluts... I hoped a full on main stream fan would hate it... I felt I had to come on strong and see if alt porn fans where willing to buy DVDs. The Kill Girl Kill movies i was lruning alot and trying to appeal to just alt porn fans. Becuse it seemed hopeless to do anything else. I think there is a shift in the audience and now people casually peep out a alt tittle... as a part of the verity of porn they might watch. You don't have to sand in the middel of a hot topic to understand that alt is an esablished thing in are culture.

the only newer stuff I have is the movie Girls Lie so I can only assume thats the movie you like less... ironic that seems to be the one that is converting allot of people. I was sure it would get some hate.....

As far as girls in my stuff... I want to see that thay dress them self apart from the main stream in real life. Some are full on porn stars and some are girls who mostly do stuff on the web. It's all a felling not a rule. It's cool if you look at the agents sights you see more and more girls showing a bit of indvaualty and style. So the biz is changing a bit... you an be a bit more than an empty vessol and if your cute you'll get work.

I'm not sure what your budget is at Vivid-Alt Eon, but have you considered a "Vivid Alt" sampler DVD to be given out at AEE?

Obviously there are a lot of people who are curious about what the Vivid Alt line is about and "alt porn" in general. Maybe a sampler DVD with previews for all the films you've released so far and a scene or two. That could at least satisfy some of the curiosity and answer a few of the questions. I think there's a lot of people who disparage Vivid Alt, alt porn in general and some of the directors and performers who have never even SEEN any of what you produce.

Of course, the AEE is in less than a month isn't it? Maybe it's too late to produce a small, little Vivid Alt sampler DVD but since the Vivid Alt manifesto is very D.I.Y. I'm sure with your creative minds over there you could come up with something.

Just a suggestion. Good luck with what you and Vivid Alt release in 2007 and hopefully by this time next year, the questions and contempt will have faded and you'll be known for producing some great, creative, interesting films.

Has anyone done any reviews on any of the Vivid Alt titles? I've only seen clips from the web site and from what I've seen it didn't look to good or sexy. Do alt kids even buy porn? I never see guys with mo-hawks in the video stores, wait I don't see Vivid Alt titles in the video stores at all! Where do they sell them? In Comic book stores?!?

we sell allot on the internet

mom and pop record shops are starting to carry are stuff...

book soope is picking some up

also the new shop on Suasidegirls dot com will have all are stuff

we are priced a bit higher so you my not find us in shops that will not stalk higher priced stuff...

where are you shopping exactly?

Pleasures on Melrose is carrying us in force...

I find we do well where the staff of the store is exited about are stuff.

the only place we can't get where is did verry well at VCA is the Husterl hollywood store here in Los Angeles. But we seem to be in other citys...

I did just talk to a comic book store in Boston that wants to try the titles so your not far off. This is a shop that carrys adult comics or I would not even consider it.

if you don't like the trailers then please don't review the titles sounds like there not your bag.

Also things are not as polarized as you suggest... as far as looking for mohoks in the porn shop...

So if your looking for us to dry up and go away don't hold your breath. We are here because we have an audience.

But I'm not sure if companies who are not as tuned in will make it for much longer.

It looks like those are to be replased with a few new alt imprints dropping soon from other companies... some of witch I have respect for...

Mr. KcKai,

After reading your subsequent postings and reviewing the link you provided, my previous remark about alt porn as a genre was unfair.

I love the ideas behind alt porn especially a title like J. Angel's 'Cum on my Tat.' But on the other hand I'm not a body art kind of guy. So intellectually, I'm down with what you guys are doing but it just doesn't grab me by the gonads--which after all is what porn has to do.

If you cast Savanna Samson, that's a movie I'll buy for sure. In any event the next time I'm in a vid shop, I'll give one of your titles a second look.
