Forget about Walt Disney’s legacy: The jizz biz is the magic kingdom! This is where fairy tales really do come true! And it can happen to you… if you’re young at heart… tra la la la…

So I was perusing Duke Floored’s site, LukeisBack.com, and I came across Duke’s phone interview with “Director Dick” (no further identification provided, but it’s a pretty good description of many directors in this business.)

Here’s a bit from Duke’s interview:

Duke: How did you get into the adult industry?

Director Dick: It was about twelve years. I needed a job. I answered an ad in the paper. It was Scott Taylor at National Video Supply. I worked there for a few years making coffee and doing deliveries. Then I went over to Rosebud, owned by Alex de Renzy and Mike Rubinstein. I was still doing deliveries and warehouse stuff. One day in 1999, Mike Rubinstein needed somebody to shoot a movie. I told him that that was what I wanted to do. He handed me a camera and told me to do it.

Whoa!

Stop the presses!

I love this shit! Guy goes from making coffee, making deliveries, and working in the warehouse to Adult Film Director in one fell swoop.

And how does a fairy tale like this come true?

Well, as Director Dick explained, a company owner simply needed someone to shoot a movie, Dick was in the right place at the right time--the warehouse, it seems--and he told the company owner he wanted the job!

That was it! No experience needed and no specialized skills required (like camera or editing or whatever) All you need to do is speak up at the right time and the company owner hands you a camera and tells you to go shoot some porn.

Ya gotta love the jizz biz... or maybe I should call our little magical kingdom, "JizzneyLand"

(A jimmyD quote for the day: "It's hard to soar like an eagle when you're penned up with all the turkeys.")
