According to wikipedia that might not be wise.

Suggest seeking legal advice in Bulgaria

Tell us all if you find any. I have been based outside UK the past 22 years
and maintained a base in E.Europe most of that time. I have shot and
worked with Russians, Hungarians, Ukrainians, Slovaks, Czechs, Poles
and Romanians....but I have never heard of any agents in Bulgaria
(apart from girls doing prostitution).

Why do you want to film in a third world cesspit?

I wouldnt advise shooting porn in Bulgaria

Its not illegal to buy it there but making it is an entirely different matter and Arginald I wouldnt say it was that bad at all. Its got a heavy club season at Sunny Beach and a lot of brits go there during the peak season or the skiing in the winter season.

Thanks for the replies - I am going there for work and not choosing to shoot there for the hell of it.

I only shoot amateur stuff for a bit of fun but think it may be wise to leave it if the situation there isnt good - dont want to get arrested!

You're saying the UK isn't a 3rd world nation? :-)

Put it this way, my partner comes from Bulgaria but lives here in the UK
My first idea was to shoot there, however is not illegal but if caught they will take all your gear, prob get some big fine and get put in jail for a few months, they will make up a reason for nicking you, its not tollarated and they dont like it, you will also find it very hard to find any girl to do it also.
Sum it up DONT BOVA !!!
take it from someone who knows !
