**Verified?** *(This bot cannot verify AMAs just yet)* **Date:** 2012-05-15 **[Link to submission](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/tom4y/)** (*Has self-text*) **[Link to my post](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/tom4y/tabledresser/c4orkc2)** Questions|Answers :--|:-- [Do you do any of the casting? How is it done? Is there any truth to the black leather couch? Also, proof?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/tom4y/i_am_a_pornographic_film_director_and_editor_ask/c4odzgx?context=5)|No I don't do any of the casting but I am familiar with the process. There is absolutely no truth to the black couch or any "reality" porn what so ever. All the girls have to be tested and they have two verifiable forms of ID and they have to sign off on what they agree to do before hand i.e anal, BJ, facial whatever. So no it's all fake. |The casting process works like this. There are people who are called "recruiters" and they find girls, through Craigslist, strip clubs, shopping malls etc. There are also talent agencies [Link to www.type9models.com](http://www.type9models.com) and so on that are basically booking agencies for girls. |Proof.. We don't credit our films, meaning directors and editors don't get their names on films. What else can I provide, pictures? [They test all 50+ people in these group shoots?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/tom4y/i_am_a_pornographic_film_director_and_editor_ask/c4ohtvo?context=5)|Not all 50 people perform. Allot of them are just extras. The ones that do engage in any kind of sexual activity are tested beforehand. [I don't know. I trust that you're being honest because you seem authoritative on the subject, you will just be downvoted without proof.](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/tom4y/i_am_a_pornographic_film_director_and_editor_ask/c4oeb11?context=5)|[Link to imgur.com](https://imgur.com/P9Xwp) |Me on set [What's with the mask?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/tom4y/i_am_a_pornographic_film_director_and_editor_ask/c4og19u?context=5)|We recycle the guys allot for the group stuff. We use the mask so it doesn't seem like its the same group of guys every update. We change their costumes mask and give them new stage names every shoot. [How pissed do you get when you find your work being viewed for free on websites other than your own?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/tom4y/i_am_a_pornographic_film_director_and_editor_ask/c4ofkn2?context=5)|I don't get pissed at all. First of all, I'm on salary, I don't own any portion of the company, so it really doesn't effect me. Secondly that's the direction things are moving and it's impossible to fight it. Just like music and films are available for free so is porn. I think it's important for companies to be progressive and evolve with the market if they want to survive. I am actually working now with management to develop a free tube site. [How often is a scene scrapped because the actors can't perform?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/tom4y/i_am_a_pornographic_film_director_and_editor_ask/c4ogc11?context=5)|The plot is typically determined by what kind of site or dvd we are shooting for. If it's a MILF scene or a "amateur" scene the plot is going to be different. Actually pretty often, guys have to keep a hard-on for multiple hours and sometimes have multiple orgasms. So it's kind of a daunting task. [How many of the actors are surprisingly normal/intelligent?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/tom4y/i_am_a_pornographic_film_director_and_editor_ask/c4ogc11?context=5)|Very few actors are normal / intelligent. Some of them are and are very cool. Of all the talent I work with I have only hung out with 2 of them personally and consider them friends. [ I don't see why women have a problem with porn. In moderation, it is fine. It's not an emotional longing.](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/tom4y/i_am_a_pornographic_film_director_and_editor_ask/c4ogn12?context=5)|Thank you, not all girls judge me, but it comes with the territory. I normally don't tell girls when I first meet them. For obvious reasons. There really are no porn script-writers. It's pretty much the directors and producers who come up with the concept. So you kind of have to be involved on the production side to contribute to story. I would advise to stay away from the whole industry, it's kind of a black hole that traps you with easy money. And it's particularly rough for women. [I'm sorry girls judge you. ](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/tom4y/i_am_a_pornographic_film_director_and_editor_ask/c4ogn12?context=5)| [What's the pay like? And how did you get your job?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/tom4y/i_am_a_pornographic_film_director_and_editor_ask/c4ojzch?context=5)|I worked on a lot of independent feature films and documentaries during my last few years in college. Through mutual friends I met one of the producers. We hit it off, he was familiar with some of the projects I had worked on. He encouraged me to apply and put in a recommendation for me. [Is drug use really that prevelant in the industry from what you've seen? Who were the coolest people you've worked with personality wise?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/tom4y/i_am_a_pornographic_film_director_and_editor_ask/c4of8n7?context=5)|Good question: Yes drug use is very prevalent and more so amongst women. However, by law we are not allowed to film anybody under the influence. So after the shoot we do a testimonial, where we ask the talent if they were forced to anything they didn't want to, are they under the influence what the date is and their full name. Having said that, allot of them show up to set fucked up on xanax or drunk and we have to send them home if it is visibly obviously. [Please make a video of these testimonials I would sit down and watch them.](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/tom4y/i_am_a_pornographic_film_director_and_editor_ask/c4omq02?context=5)|I've been thinking about it or maybe a blog with pictures and what not. [Most disgusting thing you've witnessed?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/tom4y/i_am_a_pornographic_film_director_and_editor_ask/c4oeviu?context=5)|Anal Leakage / anal bleeding [Do you have sex with all the girls in your films?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/tom4y/i_am_a_pornographic_film_director_and_editor_ask/c4odvfn?context=5)|No, when I first stared directing I would occasionally but after a few years it kind of loses it luster. Not to mention it's kind of frowned upon. It's not professional and the girls talk amongst themselves so it's generally not a good idea. [How hard is it for men to get into the pornography business? Is it easier for women, etc.?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/tom4y/i_am_a_pornographic_film_director_and_editor_ask/c4ofghj?context=5)|It's allot harder for men then women. There's allot of guys trying to get in the industry so it's pretty competitive. A typical casting for a male would include getting naked in front of a room full of strangers "casting agents" and being asked to get erect. Also allot of male porn stars have done or still do gay porn to pay the bills because there isn't enough work for them survive. It's called gay for pay. [Yo dog, I am not trying to rag on you or anything, but "allot" should be "a lot." I only say this because you use it multiple times in multiple comments.](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/tom4y/i_am_a_pornographic_film_director_and_editor_ask/c4oirni?context=5)|Thanks man. No offense taken. My grammar is horrible, Ironically I double majored in film and literature in college. [From a technical side, What editing program do you use?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/tom4y/i_am_a_pornographic_film_director_and_editor_ask/c4odvgn?context=5)|Personally I use final cut pro. But avid and sony vegas are also used regularly in the industry.

If a guy cant get wood, your going to be there for a while. But typically for a Boy / Girl scene somewhere in the neighborhood of 4 - 6 hours. Group porn like orgies and what not 12 hours + 4) Foot fetishes still freak me out 5) there are no scripts, the director invents that shit on set, typically thats why they suck 6) males are chosen through castings, they are typically asked to get naked in front of a room full of strangers and asked to get hard. Also allot of them do gay porn because they can't find enough work. [*2\) sometimes, lately no.* Why not?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/tom4y/i_am_a_pornographic_film_director_and_editor_ask/c4ohyds?context=5)|I have bigger aspirations and I feel like it hinders my ability to fully dedicate myself to those ventures. It's kind of like a black hole that sucks you in with easy money. [Favorite female stars?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/tom4y/i_am_a_pornographic_film_director_and_editor_ask/c4oeysw?context=5)|To watch: Alexis Texas. |To work with: Jessie Rogers [Are there any female porn directors/editors/producers?

Out of the 24 editors we employ only one is a female. There are allot of female "recruiters" however. They seem to be more successful in that respect then men. I guess its a trust thing. The women who work in this industry have to have thick skin. Needles to say things like sexual harassment are a normal occurrence for them. [*The women who work in this industry have to have thick skin. Needles.* Was that some accidental Freudian STD slip? :P.](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/tom4y/i_am_a_pornographic_film_director_and_editor_ask/c4oiy81?context=5)|Nope, just a typo.

Save yourself a lifetime of regret and disappointment. You will probably never have another job. And male porn-stars have a short shelf life. It's kinda like being a drug dealer. Glamorous at first but seldom ends well. [No I don't do any of the casting but I am familiar with the process. There is absolutely no truth to the black couch or any "reality" porn what so ever.

If so, would you be honest about the last 4 years?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/tom4y/i_am_a_pornographic_film_director_and_editor_ask/c4odwmm?context=5)|Yes, I went to film school and this was the first job I got out of college. My ultimate goal is to direct narratives (feature films). I have a production company on the side and I produce/direct commercials and music videos. So yes I would love to work in legitimate production. As far as being honest about my employment when applying to other jobs, it's difficult to gauge. Most places frown upon porno production. It does however teach you real technical skills. So it depends on where your applying but generally no, I just say I work for a production company that does viral media and try to keep it as vague as possible. [What are the legal records keeping requirements? Outside of age verification (title 18\), do you keep contracts approving each scene and records of money exchanged, etc. etc.? Do you have to have signed model releases? How about any distribution requirements?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/tom4y/i_am_a_pornographic_film_director_and_editor_ask/c4ofglv?context=5)|The legal record keeping regulations are very strict. This is its own department and we keep very thorough records. In addition to age verification, we keep a record of money exchanged, they (models) sign after getting paid, we also keep a record of current STD test, they have to have taken one no more then two weeks prior to filming, and we do a testimonial, they hold up a newspaper with the current date, they are asked if they are currently under the influence or were forced to anything they did not want to and then they state their full name. [How often does something like that backfire? IE someone claims they were smacked around when they didn't want to be ect?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/tom4y/i_am_a_pornographic_film_director_and_editor_ask/c4ojwkq?context=5)|Virtually never. Before the fact they specifically state what they are willing and not willing to do. They are video taped at all times during the act. If they say stop or I can't, we kill the shoot and pay them a "kill fee. [What is the oddest porno you've ever directed/edited?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/tom4y/i_am_a_pornographic_film_director_and_editor_ask/c4ohhif?context=5)|When I was first hired I was working as a on set photographer. Not the director who's holding the video camera and calling the shots. Rather the guy who runs in between takes and snaps a few stills. I have no idea what the shoot is. When I get there I realize it's this soft-core, frat-boy party, barbecue, hazing thing that turns gay. |For clarification I'm heterosexual and so is the director. Typically directors from straight porn will be asked to direct gay videos for allot more money. I personally have not done this but I don't judge anybody who has. I'm brand new at this point and on salary, only snapping the occasional photo, so I do as I'm told. |The "party" starts and it's this kind of naked pool party, naked slip and slide, mud wrestling, relay race. But the oddest part was that allot of the guys claimed not to be gay. They all talked about their girlfriends. How disgusted they were by this, tried to act manly and tough to overcompensate. It was a very strange dynamic. [Wich sparks my question; Does most porn actresses, both male and female, enjoy what they are doing? And most importantly; Does producers respect the women/males in most cases? Or do they just want the job done no matter what? What's the worst case of bad treatment you have seen? And the best?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/tom4y/i_am_a_pornographic_film_director_and_editor_ask/c4ojvmz?context=5)|Male talent has a rough time. The pressure is on them to perform and if they delay the shoot it's not uncommon for them to get an earful. [1\) How much would a fairly well known actress get paid for a bukkake scene?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/tom4y/i_am_a_pornographic_film_director_and_editor_ask/c4ofsgv?context=5)|1) Rates vary and are negotiated through "agents" which is basically a fancy word for pimp. It depends on the girl, how hot she is, how famous she is and how well her agent negotiates. [2\) I've heard sets have "kill fees" for when an actress cannot finish. Is this true, and what percentage of the original fee would that be if so?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/tom4y/i_am_a_pornographic_film_director_and_editor_ask/c4ofsgv?context=5)|2) Sets do have kill fees. How much the girl gets depends on the situation. For example if we can't finish because of the male performer the girl will get as much as 75%. If it is her fault, to drunk etc. She may get somewhere in the neighborhood of 10%. This is also negotiated before hand. [How difficult is it for you to get an erection? Considering you make a living off of sexy-time..](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/tom4y/i_am_a_pornographic_film_director_and_editor_ask/c4oh2oo?context=5)|On set and at work it's virtually impossible. When I'm behind the camera or editing it on screen, I'm kind of removed from it in a weird way. My mind is occupied with other things, primarily making sure the product doesn't suck and I don't get fired. |In my personal life I have no problems. I separate real life from the manufactured reality I create everyday. [How often is cetaphil used for the parting shot?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/tom4y/i_am_a_pornographic_film_director_and_editor_ask/c4ojc71?context=5)|Very often actually.

Could you explain that to me? ](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/tom4y/i_am_a_pornographic_film_director_and_editor_ask/c4oh1pj?context=5)|It's always amazed me too. I could never do it. It's a rare thing. Thats the reason you see the same male porn-stars over and over. It's not because their the best looking or have the biggest dicks. It's because they can keep wood forever and cum on command. It's a mental thing. Some of them like being watched, it's their kink. Some have that laser Samurai focus and just block out their surroundings and get to work. |Also, Viagra plays a huge part. Some "studs" will even inject themselves prior to filming. [How much is your yearly salary before, and after taxes? Just wondering how much a director as yourself would make in such an industry.](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/tom4y/i_am_a_pornographic_film_director_and_editor_ask/c4ohzah?context=5)|I''m not going to speak to my specific income, but a director on salary for a major company can pull in somewhere from $500 -$700 per scene. They may typically shoot as many as 4-6 scenes a week. [Wow, that's pretty high. Do most of the scenes end up on free sites?

We also collect revenue from other sites that advertise on ours. |Most of the stuff that ends up on free sites is actually given to them by us. We do this to promote and drive traffic to our new sites. [Is there anything that you think could be implemented to "improve" working conditions for those involved? Have there ever been times when you feel the people acting in the shoots were in a vulnerable position, and if so, is there anything that could be done to make them a bit safer? It's sort of sad and a bit unsettling that people turn up wasted on drugs and drink. Also you mentioned that very few of those that act are "normal", would you care to elaborate on what you meant by that?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/tom4y/i_am_a_pornographic_film_director_and_editor_ask/c4ohbu8?context=5)|The few time's I've felt that a model was on drugs or being pressured by her "agent" to do something she wasn't comfortable with I sent her home. In terms of improving working conditions. I think that 18 year old girls are to young to fully comprehend the implications of what they are getting themselves into. Im often disturbed when I work with a naive teenager failing to grasp the depth and possible consequences of what they are doing. I don't think that it would be a horrible idea to raise the legal age for actors to 21. There is a substantial amount of maturity that takes place between those ages. |What I meant by not being "normal" is: Vane, incapable of communication, juvenile, emotionally erradict and exude a general disconnect from reality.
