They are venture capitalists. So in this case, most likely the director would be the entreprenuer and need to use their own money to start. They'd be at a loss until sales starting to come in and hopefully would turn a profit.

Yes, more than likely you will need to pay people who are participating in porn (which is really what you want to do)...unless you are able to get them to agree to a contract that would provide them just a percentage of total sale of the film...this could also include intake within the first year of release or so. You might even want to play a part yourself or get friends involved. You can start out with "soft porn". There are RECENT films that have received awards that don't 'show' explicit porn. "Pirates" is one example. Then when you make money from that one...you can move on. But it doesnt just involve ACTORS...you need to have a staff!! There are make up artists (your mom), accountants, lawyers, blablabla. You should really do more research into the production of a film. You will also make money (and possibly recognizable actors) if the story is good. You need to make connections and enter into competitions.

A retail shop for example needs a site , shelving, counters, stock, advertising and staff. Also utilities. These need to be paid before the store is even open for business. Someone who wants to make porn videos would need a location , sets, wardrobe, props, lights, cameras, microphones, editing equipment and a way to produce tapes or dvd. They also need actors, camera operators, editors, makeup and hair and wardrobe staff. In a very small operation many of these might be the same person. They also need office clerical and a distributor for product or someone has to spend time on distribution. Startup costs can be very high in some businesses.

Offer everyone a cut of the profits until your business is on it's feet. No pun intended. Yes there will be some up front investments but the biggest one is the labor, if you can call it that.

You'd definitely need capital and I guess once you start to sell movies you begin to pay yourself ... Can you imagine the legal stuff that would go into starting such a business? Age stuff, consents, zoning restrictions for where you can film, wow ... Hmmm … talk about an interesting start up business.

They would usually be on a points deal when the film was completed and sold. Watch the movie Boogie Nights - it will explain about this in some ways, and you get to see Heather Grahams t*ts - its all good ... You need to get a financial backer to front the production costs.

Then when you've got some street cred and some dough you can hopefully become a director. You have to be a porno star first and learn the bizz.
