if we're talking about a more positive direction for brit porn, i would like to big up anna span - the director/producer behind the 'planet nadia' series currently on televisionx.
it helps, of course, that the eponymous star is gorgeous and a natural in front of the camera - but if nadia/andrea spinks had been under the direction of someone less concerned with evolving a fresh aesthetic for porn (in other words a bloke), the results would have been less interesting - and a lot less sexy!
the use of natural lighting; the avoidance of barbie doll make up; the original settings; the naturalistic manner in which scenes are allowed to unfold; each element has increased my realisation of what a tired, formulaic and downright unsexy, load of old crap most so called erotic entertainment actually is.
i have a mound of often costly hardcore videos at home and 'planet nadia' is a bigger turn on than any of them even, though it's soft. i sent an email to anna the other day (via televisionx, so virtually guaranteed not to reach her) asking if she planned to do anything intended for r18 release.
having a female producer succeeding in the adult entertainment business might be what's needed to breathe new life into it. the fact that the reigns are still largely in male hands is a hangover from less enlightened times.
if any industry would benefit from girl power, it's go to be porn!

Just a personal view.
The proof of the pudding is in the eating. People only buy what they want, and what turns them on. When dealing with sex, maybe providing a service or producing a work of art or indeed a porno film, there are as many differing likes and dislikes as there are birds in the trees.
Think of the word fetish, now try and work out how many activities come under that heading, simply mind-boggling, I would love to see what someone?s definitive list contains, you could guarantee that someone would always be able to add to it. If we as producers do something you the buying public don?t like we are not able to survive. There is always the argument that maybe if only a limited selection is available then a choice of one is not really a choice. In the porno video industry that could never be said. We as producers may have our own particular preference for the way a scene or a situation should be tackled but we always have to bear in mind that at the end of the day someone has to agree with our interpretation and buy the product.
Over the last few years the ?gonzo? style has come into its own. Before the advent of the affordable video camera there were no such films and the word did not exist.
The video camera has made everyone with the price of a camera a porno producer. No bad thing, let as many as possible have a chance. Because amateurs, housewives, and the not so pretty are being featured should not detract from the validity of the product, where we should draw the line is at badly produced and photographed product. There are plenty of examples of that around.
It is now a fact that the best selling product features ?the girl next door?. Maybe that will change now that there has been a relaxation in the legality of our product. In the past it has been very difficult, if not impossible for a girl to achieve celebrity status as a porn star. Sarah Young had to go to Germany, Nici Sterling to the USA. It has likewise been difficult for the producers and directors to work in peace, never knowing when plod would put down his confiscated copy of Tits and Bums weekly to come and break down your door and wreck your house. Oh yes, it has happened. We gave the local plod there own key to the door at one stage, cheaper than replacement! After 12 raids in as many months one almost starts to believe that porn must be dangerous, ranking alongside violence. We have all heard the term ?sex and violence? the two words always linked, used by the crackpots who have for so long stunted the development of the porn film in the UK.
There should now be a breath of fresh air. I as a producer will stand back, try to asses what YOU want, and to present it to you as professionally as possible. The technology today is so good that you are entitled to expect the highest possible quality. We can now go and seek out the kind of girls and guys you want to see without having to speak to the in whispers and feature them in the scenes you want to see.
One more method of governmental control has been withdrawn from the British Establishment. You now have the freedom to buy a properly produced product, it?s up to us all to protect that freedom and support those British producers who are taking the time and trouble to produce the films for you.

may i add my thoughts ...
i would not knock phil mccavity etc ... for using housewives/girl next door types in his videos, obviously these videos have customers who will gladly purchase them, but the point being they say that is the kind of video we want to see ... who do they know we want to see these gonzo type videos, is it because a) they are cheap to make b) easier & cheaper to find girl next door types to do these sort of films.
i will give you a clue as to the sort of girls the majority of us would like to see in these films, you know the young teenagers with big tits & the great personality that you can?t take your eyes off, who works next to you/or sits next to you in the train, these sort of girls, would do just nicely in british porn ... but as chris tarrant says ?we don?t wanta give you that ... oh no?
so until a producer takes a chance and produces something that we don?t really want to see, will the majority of us be really turned on by watching a british porn film ... that should be the idea ... should it not???
