About christina Cicchelli
Expertise
if you are seeking information on how to break into the adult industry, how to use pornography to enhance your sex life, how to find pornography that turns you on, and also how to make a living as an adult performer - then I'm the lady to speak to! Getting into the adult industry can be easy, but to survive in the industry and find the best direction for yourself in this field is essential. As a former porn actress, I understand the pitfalls and successes that the porn industry has to offer. Pornography is a business, one that is patronized by a majority of us - whether it's by downloading a piece of an adult movie or buying a book by Jenna Jameson. You, too, can become a part of this industry. But, avoiding the mistakes and scams will make it easier for you. Also, knowing the pay rate and how to successfully chart your career will help you stay focused while having fun on set. For those not interested in getting into porn, you might want to consider how adult films can help your sex life. Maybe you're searching for the right type of smut to satisfy you and/or your lover for a night, or maybe you want to make a private movie of your own. Contact me for help and guidance. PLEASE DON'T ASK ME ABOUT LEGALITIES, LICENSES, PERMITS, OR ABOUT WHAT YOU LEGALLY NEED TO START YOUR OWN PORN BUSINESS -- i will prove unhelpful. Sorry.

Adult Film - how to go in?


Expert: christina Cicchelli - 9/12/2009

Question
I read many questions about people who want to go into porn as actors , and I think i have a different talent .
I think I can work my way behind the camera as a director, camera man ......etc.
plus I asked my cousin who lives New Jersey about how to immigrate to America and he told me that I needed to get sponsored via immigration, so I thought maybe working for a porn company would help me get the sponsorship.     
how can I work my way through this?

thank you for your time :).

Answer
Hey Steven,

I answered this question before. Check it out here - http://en.allexperts.com/q/Adult-Film-2706/2009/9/porn-industry-8.htm

Being a director means dealing with talent, hiring a production crew, locate funding for your movie, taking time to consider permits and legalities, means of distribution, etc. Oh, and you do have to possess some talent or skill, so it helps if you had your hand at directing already. If not, then I would wait until you gain a leg up in the industry and learn more from your peers.

I don't know if a porn company can sponsor you because of the nature of the business. I'm not knowledgeable about the porn industry and sponsorship; your best bet is to ask a lawyer.

Thanks
