Anyone Shooting Adult Content in L.A. Needs To Read This

11-12-2008, 11:42 PM

The full story is on my site

www.mikesouth.com

but in short, L.A. Direct, Goldstar, Type 9, Lisa Ann, Shy Love and other agencies are all conspiring to form a "Trade Association" not for talent but for agents.

They are planning to target talent and producers for all sorts of things.

It was supposed to be top secret but i have someone on the inside.

I dont think they are going to like that this got out.

LOL this guy gets deeper and deeper into the "business"! He's vying for that coveted '#1 creepy porno writer' versus Gene Ross.

Do you know who Mike is? He's been shooting porn for longer than most of the guys on here have been alive. Mike isn't just a "porno writer" He is very much a real player in this business. Unlike 99.99% of the people on here who are barely even salesman for porn.

Mike actually creates it and has done so very successfully for many years.

I understand that, but I really don't get why people gossip about smut. I've been in the business since 2003 and most of everyone on the video side can't stand the gossip writers. Being a 'producer' or 'director' he should know that somethings he shouldn't write about LOL.

Well... so far in my time in this industry if there is one thing I've noticed is that we as a group can't come together on shit.

I've heard of unions and associations before, none of it ever panned out.

However, that being said it sounds like those people want to start an adult mafia.

I propose that all studios and content producers form an alliance and decide to not book any talent coming from any agency known to engage in Talent Agent Associations.

Let's call it "The Fuck You For Thinking About Biting the Hand That Feeds You Association" FYTABHTFYA in short.

The industry pretty much started out being ruled by the mafia, it may as well get back on the wagon and clean some shit up.

A few of the stated goals were very reasonable, but there is also a huge concern about the monopolistic nature of the organization.

A reasonable idea if run by reasonable people. Not likely to succeed.
