Hey Folks -- I’m looking for some help.
I started making adult films a couple of months ago; however, being in the UK the learning process has been one hell of a steep curve. To improve my film making skills I’m planning a trip to America for six months -- most likely next summer. Does anybody know of any directors/film makers who could help me out. I’m looking to shoot -- or watch the shoots -- of as many different people as possible. Anyone care to point me in the right direction?
Anyone offer any kind of mentoring? -- Lol, probably something that is unheard of in this industry!
Jonathan.

There is some lawyer in Florida that regularly runs a week long "porn camp" for aspiring film makers where you get lectures on the technical, marketing and legal sides of the industry. On the last day you are introduced to some real-life porn stars and get to shoot your own scene. Courtney Cummz gave some directing tips at the last one that was held earlier this year.

Thanks for the reply Cuddly; I think I have come accross that guy.
His sales page reads like a marketing scam. However, he could be very good! Anyone got any reviews or would like to comment?

Yes unless you get a PA job in the industry. Let me know if you ever make it out to LA and I will hook you up with a few people -- as long as your serious and pass the pornstar stalker test...

Lol, the 'pornstar stalker test'! Haha, sounds like a great initiation ceremony. I'm guessing that there will also be a secret handshake?
In all seriousness though, if I get to LA I will certainly drop you a line. It's definitely somewhere that I have in mind.
Regards,
Jonathan.

Perhaps I should have named it the "Fanboi Test".....
If you are serious about making adult content and you are coming to the US there really is only a couple of places to visit. The San Fernando Valley should be stop #1.
