Adult Film/Filming overseas

Question
Hello Dan!

We are a small group who would have all the equipment and the capital to
shoot adult material. We are US citizens but also hungarian as well with
connections and the means to produce in Hungary and possibly in  the
surrounding countries. We would be hiring local talents and except for post
production all the work would be conducted outside US territory. Is there a
chance of marketing the material here in the US?
I realize this is a complex question but any insight would be appreciated!  

Answer
In short, the answer is yes - there is lots of non-U.S. content being distributed in the U.S. every day.  There are a number of distributors that I know of that will consider selling high quality foreign content.
