Question
Hey, I just moved to LA a little while ago and was wondering how i should go about trying to become an editor or camera person on adult film shoots. Should i just send my resume to production companies or what. and if that is what i should do would you send me a list of production companies.

Answer
Hi Jake

Getting a production crew position in the Adult Film industry is just like getting those types of jobs in the mainstream workforce.  So yes sending your resume to various production companies is definitely a good start.

Keep in mind that, just like mainstream jobs, you must have the necessary experience and education to even be seriously considered for most of these positions.

Unfortunately, as a producer myself, I do not make it a habit of providing people with lists of other production companies...doing so would be like providing free advertising for my competition.

The addresses and other information for most production companies are readily available to you anyway…and the boxes the films come in or on the films themselves….
