Adult Film - how do I get into the industry since I'm from toronto?


Expert: Dan Pepper - 6/28/2008

Question
QUESTION: hi there, I really want to make it in the porn industry I love sex and money, the only problem is I'm from Toronto Canada and with all the regulations of employment I was hoping there was some accredited company in Toronto I could use as a platform to reach vivid?

ANSWER: I assume from your post that you're looking to get in as talent in the industry?  If so, you should evaluate and talk to agencies to find which ones would be willing to work with you (and more importantly, which ones you like and trust - not always an easy process).  Check out thefloatingworld.com to see a list of dozens of agencies that work in this biz.  Of course, be careful not to sign anything until you COMPLETELY understand all of the terms of a contract.

If you're looking to start your own business (featuring you), you may want to check out rayscorner.com on good info on how to get started.


---------- FOLLOW-UP ----------

QUESTION: I really appreciate the links however none of them are Canadian companies that are Canadian based, I realize that in my initial question I asked of how to get American exposure but I cannot get to American exposure until I have some reliable Canadian references, for instance I know Montreal is a great place to start considering how much sex expo shows there are and mainly one of our hottest "Canadian" vivid girl melezia originates from montreal.so do you know of any companies that are reputable from Montreal? is Doug Moore still around?

Answer
Here are a few to check out in Canada:

G.A.L. Models, Wray's Model and Talent, Select Model Management, Ltd., Flauntmedia, Sono Models, Talentco Model Management.  Google them for contact info.  I can't personally vouch for any of these, so vet them carefully.
