Question
QUESTION: my question is not about production but legal representation. i am in california and i am sesoned in film production, but not in adult . i am looking for representation. who can i call? i would also like to know your top choices for distrabution? and should i have a complete real, a few scenese or a catalog ready for sale?

ANSWER: Mike Fattorosi and Greg Piccionelli are both in California are represent adult companies.  I also represent clients across the country, including California.

Regarding distribution, it depends upon the nature and amount of your content.  Most larger distributors want to know you have plenty of content in the pipeline - not just a single film.  I know of some good ones, but again, I'd need to know about what you plan on doing first.

QUESTION: when you say pipeline how many films would be good and what are the distributers. next should i sell my first few reels right out or should i package and produce them under my name.
thanks for the help so far i e-mailed you. please get back with me as soon as possible your expertise can be a great help.

Answer
Derrick,

I don't like to publicize the distributors' names, since I respect their integrity, and only want to recommend them to people I know have the right product to give them.  There is no magic number of films to have in the pipe - each one has slightly different guidelines.

I'm not sure I understand your next question about selling them right out or using your own name.
