Expert: - 10/10/2010


Question
I am a middle aged but very well built female and would like to find a production company which could help me make my first video.  I would need help with all aspects of the project including finding a great male model to work with.  Are there production companies that will provide this type of turn-key service?  I would want a high end group - not a bunch of amateurs.  I have the money to invest

Answer
Hi Margaret,

The short answer is yes, there are production companies out there that will do this for you.  However, it is VERY easy to get duped or otherwise taken advantage of if you are new to this business, so the key is to first find a reputable company, and second, to find one that matches the vision you have.

There are other considerations - the location of the production company, the style and nature of the content you wish to produce, and how you ultimately want to distribute your film.  It's also important that you you work with an attorney that can help to ensure you are ultimately getting what you pay for.

A list of some production companies can be found here (http://www.xbiz.com/directory/id=58&pid=10), but I wouldn't advise just jumping in with any of them until you've done your homework as I've described above.
