Adult Film/Producers
Expert: Jim Boyd - 11/9/2009
QuestionI have been advertising myself on on several sites lookig for work in adult films. I have been approached by 4 people wanting me to work with them. The are Donny Long, Nickey Milo, Ron Getz, and Ben Herover. I am just now trying to get started in this business and need to know if these guys are really what they claim to be. Any advioce?
AnswerHi Susan,
While I have never conducted business with any of the individuals, I know all them all...at least by reputation.
Donny Long and Ben Herover do not have very good reputations among Performers, Talent Agents, or other Producers. The quality of their work, and their business practices, are highly questionable at best. Simply put, no one who has ever worked with them will ever do so again. I believe your best bet would be to avoid them.
Nickey Milo and Ron Getz are exactly the opposite. Performers, Agents, and other Producers seem to have a good deal of respect for them and they turn out some very good quality material. IF you get a chance to work with either, you should seriously consider it.
As always I highly recommend that you contact a few legitimate Adult Talent Agents if you intend to make the Adult Industry your career choice. I suggest you start with these:
http://www.alisttalent.com
http://www.adulttalentmanagers.com
http://www.goldstarmodeling.com
http://www.lisaannstalentmanagement.com
http://www.type9models.com
http://www.worldmodeling.com
These are reputable Agencies and their websites have all the information necessary to put you in contact with a representative. These Agencies only work with equally reputable Production companies thus greatly increasing your chances of success. If this is something you are serious about, get yourself signed with an Agency and let them get you started on the right track.
For your own safety I would also STRONGLY advise you to avoid placing and/or answering ads on sites like xpeeps.com, craigslist.com and backpage.com looking for work. These, and many similar, sites are common playgrounds for all manner of predator and are honestly never used by legitimate Adult Industry Professionals to any real extent.
Good luck
