uk road trips

[tombo101]

hey i have a few questions, i have been looking to buy uk road trip dvds, but the ones i want such as road trip to nottingham and the other trip with jenny loveitt are not on dvd to purchase why is this? and are there plans to bring them out?
cheers for any replys

The reason they have not all been released is because I built my library before releasing, the Jenny loveitt film is just in at the BBFC at the moment to be certificated.
Due to the fact the DVD market is so bad I lose around two grand on every release, but I keep releasing to keep a place in the market.

At present I have TWIN CHEEKS UK vol 2 and the Esher road trip in the BBFC to be released soon. but to keep loosing money to release the rest on dvd I don't know how much longer this can be done.
This is why they are released on the web site first.
I have at least 20 road trips not yet seen, but if the present market sales continue that means I will lose around 40k and be bankrupt. So I now have to be careful when and how I release, this is pretty much the same for most producers.

I hope that answers your question kind regards. Marino

Fucking hell Marino, it sounds like a proper headache.

Losing money just to keep your toe in?

I didn't realise the market could be that shaky...

It is not all doom and gloom, because you have a certain shelf life, and always expect to recoup or break hopefully in to profit over three years.
I mean I would not be hear at all if every film released lost money. In fact the movie which was my biggest risk and most costly, has kindly turned around in to a ten k up over three years.
But the market is slow and very tough, but that should not deter a true pornographer from pitting his or her product against the best that is out there.
I always strive to get the best I can for the budget on every film, now I know I have made some that I am less happy then others, but there are definitely some I am very proud to have my name attached to.

Marino you will never stop earning from your films, the money may come in dribs and drabs but making a porno is like making a long term investment and it wont be long before your Roadtrips become retro , no offence intended, for the rest of your life you still be earning from the films you have made !cool!
