Hi folks,

This is a serious request from (just about to graduate) students from Ravensbourne college in Kent. We (mixed sex group) are looking to speak to genuine friendly faces for on camera interviews about what it takes to begin/thrive and survive in the uk porn industry. Initially we are seeking producers and directors ? crew with tales to tell. Our portfolio project is gathering speed but we still need more interviews and thus far we are running into a lot of closed doors.

I stress that we are not time wasters (we have experienced our fair share from our own productions/corporate videos) and were not out for freebies or to linger around during work shoots.

If you think you could help us out in anyway with info or contacts or better yet find some time over the coming months to have a chat with us then please contact me

Regards

Neil

If you have serious money to pay contact me.

'we still need more interviews and thus far we are running into a lot of closed doors.'

Could that be due to the way that other productions treat this industry?

What would make you so different?

Anyone who agrees to be interviewed should not sign a model release until they have seen the final output and if they are not happy about the way they have been portrayed then dont sign, of course the output could always be altered afterwards but that would be breach of contract if you worded the model release appropriately !happy!

Insist on 'broadcast edit approval'.

Hi. Not sure if this is the same guy but iv had a 'fan' called Tyler Durden who has been emailing me for about 4 years with various rubbish including:


Hi, do you like eating ass? if so I have a very well payed job for you
If interested, mail me back for details

Thanks for the responses so far, thats an interesting reaction and not one i had accounted for but perhaps goes some way as to explaining the closed doors. For every project we have to use release forms, upon which we have to state the purpose and context of interviews - it would be unethical and illegal to use this footage for anything else, can i gauge by the reaction that any of you have had negative experiences in the past?

i also re-stress that this is essentially a broadcast student project and any deviation from the brief would likely see us fail our degrees. the college also retains all tape stock which is destroyed after 3 years and most importantly retains the copyright to the documentary. any footage that "leaked out" would essentially ruin any chances of us working in television

Thus this documentary would not likely ever be broadcast, if we impressed channels with the caliber of our work they would instead re-commission the piece and we would seek to re-interview (this time for money).

Broadcast edit approval is very rare in this day and age (bar one off celebrity exclusives arranged by the celebrity's lawyers), the release form covers the essentials. may i re-iterate that we are looking for crew members to interview (directors/producers etc), we have been blessed with offers from talent.

it seems that people are wary of our intentions and i can understand that, if you are London based we are quite happy to communicate in person ,perhaps even arrange the blessing of our tutors if that would ease concerns?

lol "Tyler Durden" is a character from the film fight club and a common moniker for e-mail addresses back when my mail account was set up (back in 1999), i can assure you that i have never e-mailed you before and have given that signature so that people may view my myspace/facebook in assurance that im not a crank and am entirely serious in my request

Unfortunately, however good your intentions may be, you've come to an industry who are constantly besieged by documentary makers wanting some sex scenes to make it easier to sell to the chav channels, and despite their pleas of "this will be different", always end up producing the usual "Lets laugh at the sex people" programme. All for no payment, obviously.

I realise no-one would give broadcast edit approval, as you know nothing would ever be approved if the participants saw it.

Sorry, but thank your predecessors in docco making for the reluctance you're experiencing now. Because few believe it wil be anything more than just another stitch-up job.

i fear you may be right Peter. thanks for your patience and replys never the less...

hopefully i can proceed with the contacts i do have and word of mouth may carry some weight.
