Even the Brits make porn

The hard core porn film industry is dominated by american directors such as buttman and vince vouyer. why? `because they just do it superbly` says u.k. porn director macondo. `it`s not because budgets are higher either it`s just that these guys know the exact spot that needs scratching amongst a lot of people. at one end of the market you`ve got vivid who do vanilla porn and then you`ve got guys who just want to clock up some masturbation mileage where the pace is harder, more furious. and the u.s. does it brilliantly.` macondo firmly believes that it`s a cultural difference that has ensured america`s dominance of the porn industry whilst the u.k. has stumbled behind with perhaps ben dover being the only u.k. director that has crossed over the atlantic. much of the other british made product as been low rent amateur girl next door stuff `the u.s. consumer culture is more service oriented and the post globalization big mac approach to business works well with porn. even if they`re doing it for fun the u.s. is much more commercially minded. even with the gonzo directors and camcorders the intention was always very commercial.` and with this in mind macondo is about to debut his first film, `slam it! (in her ass)` which he said `is unashamedly to follow the commercial lead of the u.s. in creating gonzo hardcore but add something that the u.s. doesn`t put into it which is a bit of style` the film features a sextet of euro porn models namely czech hottie lucy lee and austrian creampie specialist renee pornero, plus jennifer dark, vicky sin, maria sun and elizabeth. 2 hours long with 5 scenes and boasting 37 extreme sex acts it should probably come with an r.s.i. warning. not for the faint hearted, it doesn`t insult it`s intended audience with anything resembling a plot just straight into the action which is pretty much different variations on the theme of insatiable greedy girls getting a good seeing to. and there`s some eye watering contortions in this stylish porno compendium for the relentless self-dater. according to a recent poll on one of those crap list tv shows a leading fantasy amongst women is to have sex with two or more guys. if that`s floating your boat then this video has it in abundance. scenes are well filmed, locations original and varied. it`s a confident first film outing that shows macondo`s experience of directing photo shoots that are leading the british hardcore scene. clearly breaking the u.s. market is an exciting challenge and one that macondo thinks is quite possible for u.k. directors. in one sense the british have been known for a certain conservativeness in the hot action department unless of course you`re a judge or a tory m.p. `that maybe` says macondo `but you would not get a vivienne westwood from america and so we do have something to offer. i don`t agree with the apparent ghetto-ising of british made porn films, it doesn`t have to be porn with a union jack on it and some dodgy birds.` down to business macondo accepts that as much as he might wish to be more radical in his directing he`s in it for the money and catering for minority markets is not viable when 80% of the market will just buy the next rocco movie. `porn is like disposable razors you use it and then you`re onto the next one. nobodies going to have the porno equivalent of a 5 dvd boxed set like the matrix sitting in their shelves or slam it! volumes 1 to 10 with directors cuts and extra scenes taking pride of place in their living room!` so porn films operate within a disposable razor mentality and the production budgets are usually less than a cheap music video with only a few films getting a million bucks. but these macondo tells me are promotional loss leaders `the fact that they`re spending that sort of money means that they get a lot of press and that stimulates the market`. talent wise macondo is conscious of the potential for accusations of exploitation particularly of east european women and unlike some of his contemporaries perhaps he feels he can tell between the girls that are in it to put their brother through college and hate it or those that like doing it. it`s the latter that make the best models so he believes that he has a commercial imperative to cast the right talent. `there`s plenty of girls who like doing this so there`s no reason to exploit the disadvantaged. if a girl decides that she`s going to put herself in a position to do something`s she doesn`t want to do for the money then she`s going to be in difficulty. as a director i`m contracting services. in other words i`m saying that i will pay you this money to do this if you want to do it and if you don`t then i`ll find another girl that does. if a girl takes on the contract and then changes her mind on set then it puts everything back and that`s what i most want to avoid.` `however it has to be said that there are operators in the industry who would be horrible to that girl or would try to exploit her and i would say that there is an equal responsibility on both sides to approach it responsibly.` in this industry the women are paid more than the men at rates which, like the rest of the movie world, depend on your talent and name recognition. most have `agents` that negotiate on their behalf with the studios. in spite of the u.k`s jordan and jodie celebrity breast beating there`s only a small pool of real talent of models from the u.k. which macondo tells me is reflective of differing economies, `the british girls really do this as a lifestyle choice or when they`ve fallen out with their boyfriend but there are a few girls from the u.k. that are outstanding such as ashley long, michelle thorn and angel long who are now making films in america. even models that aren`t at the top of their game can make around $70,000 in 3 months working it in the u.s. with the top earners earning plenty more. although paid much less than the women macondo pays the men on his films a higher than average rate `in recognition of the fact that their job is such a physical challenge staying hard for hours and then cum on demand.` macondo doesn`t expect acting talent from his models, `meg ryan is an actress but i bet she can`t fuck for shit, so i wouldn`t be casting her in my movies. you don`t ask porno people to act because they can`t. their talent is fucking` and you really can`t argue with that.
