Why Bother ? with Brit Porn

[steveuk]

If you make one video you will have to trawl around the world to sell it.

If you are REALLY lucky you MAY sell it to a distributor who will want ALL the world rights, but since that would be a lot of money, he wont want to pay YOU all that money, or even most of it.

And why should he if he's going to do the work of flogging it around the world?

If you don't like his deal he'll go to someone else with a cheaper video, that may not be as new and interesting and ground-breaking but which costS a lot less but still has loads of naked girls and sex in it.

Making porn is like selling to a supermarket. It's a lot of hassle to buy stuff one at a time so they buy LOTS of stuff in one go, and pay as it's delivered over a year or more. Tesco's don't go out a buy mushrooms every day, they have deals with farms to supply them a consistent product on a regular schedule.

Private can spend money because they have the cash-flow to keep making new films as they sell the deliver (NOT sell, they're already sold) the ones they just made.

If you check their back catalogue their first videos were much simpler and cheaper. They were sold on the basis of the magazines name and reputation.

The mega-productions (which are still cheap compared to bigger mainstream TV, don't believe all the hype) came later.

If you're planning on spending lots of money, you should try and get your distribution sorted out first.

I think the only people who make money in porn are those who produce AND distribute their own product. In an ideal world all the producers would get together and form a co-op style distribution company and sell direct. However we are far too busy ripping each others throats out for a few crumbs from the crooked distributors.

Notice I'm on here pontificating a load of bollocks as usual, while the distributors are no doubt chomping on big cigars, while being fanned by babes, with giant palm leaves on remote tropical islands.

Interestingly, going back to the niche marketing idea, I translated the title from the German, of a successful film available in Berlin, my computer came up with : "Please Herr Dwarf would you sit on my Face and Defaecate, Danke!"

With stuff like this, what hope have we Brits got!

There's somebody catering to every perversion out there. Denmark is probably the most liberal place where virtually anything goes including animal/scat/S&M with needles etc. (since 1969) - and anyone from the age of 15 can rent it too, that would raise a few eyebrows in the UK. One in 4 video rentals in Denmark is hard core porn, yet in surveys people claim not to watch it personally (!).

[David Lever]

Yes the Danish are one sick bunch of muthers! The question is, should us Brits be going down this route? Can you see, "Geriatric Scat Jamborree" or "Squids In" or maybe even, " UK Dumping Dwarves" on TVX in the near future?
I'm not sure, I think us Brits are innocents in the ways of perverse sex. I know we like our spanking and the odd bit of s & m but really.............I mean check out the Japs!! They're really into some wierd shit, man, its no surprise that these dudes teamed up with the Krauts in the last war. I mean what a combo!!?? If a Jap and a Kraut formed a production company they'd be unbeatable, they'd be coming up with, "Scatting Schoolgirls Get Nailed by The Nazi Dwarves With No legs and then Chopped Into Little Bits and Fed to The Pissing Nuns" Vol1

No I think its time we Brits, start to learn the ways of perverse sex before its too late. Perhaps we could all chip in to fly some of these dudes over to start some kind of pervy workshop where we can learn a thing or two.

I dunno Dave, us Brits did coin the term "shrimping" and the art of toe sucking mught seem strange to some and whats allthis stuff about British distributors chomping on fat cuban cigars while being fanned by babes- I'm in distribution now and looking forward to it...don't know about the cigars though.

You say why? I say why not! Its a dirty job, but someones gotta do it
