The 'Promotions' forum is for the posting of promotional material relating to the British adult entertainment industry, as well as the seeking and commissioning of work by models and producers working in the British adult entertainment industry.
I for one never watch films so quoting from one means nothing to me...
As for being protective.. We are, but only for the models...
I gave you constructive criticism by mentioning two newbies, who were given everyones support here when they first posted. Do a search for the first posts by Big Red of Demon Eyes and MAI and you'll see...
What isn't liked, is someone who posts from a Yahoo/Hotmail address and gives no information about themselves that can be verified, specially when they want to shoot Gonzo, and not looking to go in the direction of either Relish or Viv Thomas who spend money on their productions.
I think Kevboy made his comments as their have been so many wannabies like and before you... It gets boring... Try a better approach to be taken seriously
The hotmail address was at this stage to avoid spam junkies. The website will in time be made available to one and all.
I am slightly hesitant due to the fact that this is a new (and for us exciting) venture. And this is the first post (on any forum) that we have done, requesting xxx Models.
I agree with you...(as far being protective for the models is concerned) but I never took the time to read previous posts which may have offered similar. And of course security is indeed a fundamental issue in any business. Which is why we have stipulated to everyone not to send information which could be construed or used for unscruplous purposes.
As for verification of ourselves...well at this early stage, whilst we are merely attempting to check availability for 'xxx models'. Information on who we are would seem somewhat irrelevant. Especially as we admit to never having worked with anyone in the adult movies industry.
Any model who makes contact with us can rest assured that we are happy to submit various personal information about ourselves prior to any meeting.
We are ordinary folk. One of us is a Professional Photographer/Cameraman (usually working with celebrity portfolios) One of us is a Recording Artist Manager (with several chart successes to date) One of us is Computer Data Consultant and me...well I'm a Trainee Barrister, looking to diversify but with a complete understanding of the law on Pornopgraphy in England & Wales. (I AM OF COURSE USING AN ALIAS FOR THE PURPOSE OF THIS FORUM...JUST LIKE THE MAJORITY OF YOU)
Many of us in the UK have met or worked with one another or know each other well as friends and work colleagues, as it is a small community compared to the States. We do gang up at times on alleged new producers.. Not because we're frightened of a challenge but because the industry is what it is... But at the same time if wanabee's are open... we're here to help
Now you've had some free advise from us.. Are you open to give us legal help for nothing if needed.... LOL

Wow what a merchant you are. That bothered about spam junkies you will use a made up name in an attempt to get onboard some GENUINE models! Me thinks that even doc spock would struggle with that logic.
In your original post you stated you were a GONZO outfit so now we's thinking that perhaps you don't know what GONZO means as you later stated you would be getting models to do the models (hi iy yi)?
Dude I'm so very sorry but hotmail accounts along with requests like only real fit birds need apply cut about as much ice as a plastic turd but then again please take a glance at the sky and if it's stripy I do appologise!
for the record..."Gonzo" refers to no storyline or 'ad hoc' OR 'off the cuff' straight to the sex type of movies.
STOP TESTING ME...I'VE WATCHED ENOUGH PORN TO DISTINGUISH IT FROM EVERYTHING ELSE.
also for the record...One can still use professional xxx models to shoot a porn movie..."Gonzo" is not an amateurish term. But a professional genre or style.
most notably...in the UK...Ben Dover, One Eyed Jack, Rude Britannia...Omar's Triumph's to name just a few.
In the US...the leading makers of Gonzo are of course Jack Stagliano's (Buttman) Evil Empire Powerhouse - which includes, Rocco, Nacho, Belladonna, Jules Jordan (our favourite), John Leslie.
One has to mention good 'ole Seymour Butts
Also the Anabolic, Diabolic, Red Light District, Zero Tolerence, Platinum X, Mayhem Crew to name just a few. (not forgetting Erik Everhard, Brandon Iron and Lexington Steele...who are of cause top Gonzo Producers, Directors and often Actors.
In Europe...John Thompson's 666 series and GGG as well as Marc Dorcel when he's not attempting to be Martin Scorsese.
WE KNOW OUR PORN - WE HAVEN'T JUST LOOKED THINGS UP ON GOOGLE
But...in saying all that...we understand the skepticism. So not wishing to sound like a broken record...
CUT ME SOME SLACK OR SAY SOMETHING CONTRUCTIVE I CAN USE, WITHOUT IT SOUNDING LIKE A SOUND BITE THAT ATTEMPTS TO BELITTLE WHAT WE'RE ATTEMPTING TO DO.
Tell someone you're a lawyer and they always ask that...but if I can help with any related legal issues I'll be happy to.

Thanks for your words of encouragment (a welcome breath of fresh air)
You've won me over a little with your last post... Unless you were in legal.. You wouldn't have cut and pasted that from anywhere... LOL. In fact what you wrote, made very interesting reading. Does that mean that you are not legally qualified yet ?
Now you need to try another post re-wording your original, which is what upset everyone here, as you can't edit posts once they're up
"Attractive" or "Unattractive" are subjective tests not objective ones. Which loosely translates to whomever the person making the subjective decision decides is or is not attractive.
Basically it doesn't matter what 'YOU' think, it matters what 'I' think. If a model believes she is attractive then she and everybody else who views her as such, is entitled to that 'subjective' opinion. If I on the other hand deem her unattractive then this is purely my opinion.
For example:
You may believe you have a great singing voice, and all your family and friends tell you likewise. However, the objective test (which would represent a valid opinion poll) will be whether or not the majority of unrelated participants believe you have. It doesn't necessarily mean that you have if they vote YES, it just means that a majority deciding subjectively give you an objective verdict. (Got it)
What qualifies me is that it is ultimately MY opinion that will decide whether or not a girl or guy is deemed attractive. And yes you are 100% correct...it's all opinion. In this case...OURS
Unqualified opinion refers to facts not in evidence and certainly not to ones legally qualified opinion.
In giving advice or rendering an opinion to people in a non face-to-face communicative manner. This would be deemed as an unqualified opinion, because very little can be gained from information recieved via a limited format (in particular through a forum).
One would normally meet a client face-to-face in order to evaluate an opinion. Unless one was suitable briefed by a solicitor beforehand...whereupon an opinion can be given without the need for a face-to-face sit down.
I will take you advice and re-word our original post in order to appease the dissatisfied masses. Our intention was never to offend.
