Ah that's interesting, I would always have assumed that the female performers would have a bit more info about what would be waiting for them on set before committing to the work. It seems odd that Canada would not have a large industry if only because so much mainstream filming is done there - my assumption would be production would therefore be cheaper. So who is it that you admire and would like to shoot with, also is there anyone that has retired recently that you wish you'd had a chance to film with?
I think that's a good policy, doing something personally first. I was asking because you've already done some work for legalporno and they tend to quickly get performers doing that kind of shoot. Agreed the Euro market is a bit different, I kind of assumed you were more extreme because you were Canadian
I think Katsuni used to say she preferred and found anal sex easier so it doesn't sound so strange.
Good to know. I spotted a trend that a performer would tend to appear on all the fakehub sites in a bunch so was curious if yours was already filmed and just in a backlog for uploading. Course it'll be harder to do another taxi / agent uk scene are normally the storyline is you return and do something harder, but you started with anal
Different question, how much do you end up travelling because as you said the Canadian industry isn't huge so I assume you're doing a lot in the UK and Europe, but I take it you still live in Canada? I think Valentina Nappi's agent said she's queue up a load of scenes fly out film them all and then return to Italy, is it the same for you? And last question, what did you mean by "but I should be able to get there in 2 years" is that because the US industry likes performers to me more established before they work with them or is it an America / Canada thing, or another reason?
Thanks, Bobb
I think your assumption about female performers is true for some girls- I have heard of certain ones where performers 'approve' the talent and job before going to it. I do this only for special requests or new jobs. I also discuss bookings with talent before sending them there for the girls that work with my agency, but the scale of the bookings we do here in Canada is smaller so it's reasonable to do that.
We (Maxxx models) are interested in bringing more productions to Canada, which is attractive for the reasons you mentioned about mainstream film- we also have less regulations that the US and our dollar is seriously low right now. However, there is a huge mass of land that makes up Canada, not a very large population- and very accessible other opportunities (ie subsidized post-secondary education at a cost 1/5 on average of that in the US) that means our talent base isn't as large as you may find in other places. We are always recruiting though, and do believe Canada can have some greater position on the world stage of xxx production.
I'd have loved to have shot with Rocco Siffreddi, and Cicciolina (who else has been a pornstar AND politician... crazy). One of my close friends works with Rocco a lot, I was trying to convince him to get Rocco to come out of retirement to shoot a scene for my site... this would probably be very expensive for me though! I admire Gina Gerson, Dani Daniels and Anissa Kate. I'd love to work for Brazzers, Naughty America, & Babes. It was a pleasure shooting for Digital Playground, Private, Reality Kings, and 21st Sextury- I look forward to more opportunities to do so. I'm starting to worry now that companies I haven't mentioned will notice lol, but I don't mean it as offense at all.
I am working for Quebec Productions (Vid Vicious) again in January-- I'm not sure who the other talent will be but he's always great to work with and creates a high quality product. I'm shooting my first IR for my site later this month with a new Canadian talent, as well as a DP with him (Malcolm Lovejoy) and Mike Majors, who has appeared in a few scenes on my site. I'd also like to work with Vandal Vyxen- she is very alternative, a big star in Quebec (though not as known outside the province).
Legalporno does tend to shoot a lot of double anal, they have asked me to several times and tried to find ways to make it seem more appealing. I understand that for a lot of girls they shoot it makes sense for them to do it but I'm not there. I might have to call them when I'm ready though and give them my first! Depending on what deals are on the table of course.
Katsuni is hot as hell and blessed with amazing tits... glad to hear I'm not alone.
Fake taxi UK has asked me to return next time I'm in England, but yes, it's along the same lines of what you heard about with Valentina Nappi where I line up shoots in an area before going and/or associated agencies in the area to work with. If I get more to do in England I will go back there. There is a particular agency that is closely associated with all the fakehub sites- I have been in chats with them but all the other fakehub scenes I have done so far have been booked directly through Maxxx and my agent in Budapest, so I've only worked with a couple of them and not all 35 sites.
I have an apartment in Montreal, and that's where my business, car etc are registered. I probably spend less than 20% of my time at home. I manage models and produce content across Canada so when I am on home turf I travel very often as well.
My US situation is kind of a touchy subject for me. I got flagged at the border a couple of years ago for travelling with a friend of mine (this was before I did porn, was still a nursing student and waitress) who stated 'she's a model and I'm a photographer' when asked how we knew each other. I did go to LA in August 2014 and signed with O.C. .. waited the 3 weeks to get my US ID... and then there was a moratorium. I discussed with my agent if it would be ok to go and come back, since the industry would be shut down for a while anyway. There were some issues in this communication that has broken my trust and taste for the agency, but I don't want to get into things too much- definitely what I remember and was told does not add up for their later statements though. I was not allowed back in to go to the US a couple weeks later when the moratorium was over, and was given a paper that denies me entry to the USA without a work permit. The border officials considered my webcam 'working' in the country, even though it would be the same thing I could do at home.
I wanted to enter with a work permit but O.C. is not interested in being part of me doing that, and part of the application involves having a licensed and bonded agent sign the forms. I am also not interested in working with them based on what happened with them while I was there.
Spiegler is interested in signing me and has been helping me take the steps towards the permit.
I have a lawyer on retainer who specializes in contract disputes, I'm trying to get out of the contract with O.C. with his assistance but it doesn't look like this will be so simple- I will probably have to wait for the contract to finish (August 2017) to get my work permit and be allowed in the US.
Pardon the long-winded answer lol, but it's a complicated situation.
