Question
Hello, I am 19 years old and have been trying to find out how to get into this industry but I can't find anyone to talk to in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan Canada about it, like if I really want to get involved with it am I going to have to move or is there some way I can try out first and then move if I'm accepted? I'm new to all of this and I've asked around the shops in the city but they said in Canada probably my best bet is in Montreal but that is still pretty far away! Please help?

Answer
Thank you for your query regarding adult film work.  Your ability to work in the industry relies on a variety of things including your gender, appearance, personality, and much more.  You will find very few opportunities for adult video work in any city.  That is the reality of the business.  There are tens of thousands of people, young and old, male and female, fat and thin, who think they are the next big pornstar.  Keep in mind also that in order to work outside of Canada, you will need to meet the necessary immigration requirements of whatever country you are attempting to visit and work in.

What I can recommend you do is to watch the adult classifieds in alternative news publications in major Canadian cities (e.g., NOW and Eye in Toronto, plus for men check Xtra in Toronto, Ottawa and Vancouver and other gay newspapers across Canada) where you will, from time to time, see ads seeking people for adult video/photo.  Or, you could try the "adult gigs" listings on Craigslist.
