Thanks for stopping by to read information I have written out on my plans for producing adult videos. I'm currently seeking investors and business partners, and helpers to see me (us) to success. I plan to produce in Los Angeles, that's were my base is. Miami, is a possibility. However, I will strongly consider New York. New York, seems to have the majority of the type of talent I'm seeking for these videos. I'm seeking help from these two markets. Naturally, I don't expect to do investment or partner business over the internet, these matters will be handled in person. Interested parties should e-mail me for more details. Paulo.

Preliminary movement for marketing and selling Series Videos, If I market and sell.
Most major urban metropolitan regions have some sort of outlets that sell or rent adult entertainment videos. Research have shown that markets such as Washington, DC, New York city and Atlanta have a large audience for 'Urban Male' videos.
Example: Washington,DC, which has a large non white male population with higher
education and a decent disposable income. Several entertainment venues
that cater specifically to them. Two known video chains, 'Capital Video' and
'Washington video' carrying adult videos. Both chains have at least 4 stores
each in the Washington, DC proper area. Each of it's stores will carrying at
least 3 to 4 of a specific 'Urban Male' title for rental and at least 3 for sell. The
lowest numbers will give us 16 units per of the two chains. If tapes are sold to
the outlets for a wholesale price of $20 U.S. dollars, that's $320.00 per chain.
(lowest-numbers). Several independent video stores cover the Washington,
DC area, which has a population of 6 million people.
Metropolitan areas in which we can expect strong sells online and to video outlets are:
Philadelphia, NY-NJ, Atlanta, Detroit, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco-San Jose,- Cleveland, Boston and Minneapolis. Some southern states and cities are exempt due to federal law that prohibits the sell of adult videos.
We can expect an average of $5000.00 to the sell of video outlets. ($20.00 per video).
No numbers as of yet for international sells online or via outlets.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Preliminary movement for marketing and selling Series Videos, If I market and sell.
1 Internet marketing and selling: A specific page will be established on the up
coming 'Urban Male' website show casing the
varies videos and giving ordering information.
Photo stills and information on performers.
Posters, 'T' shirts and ball caps with the-
'Urban Male' logo and or the logo of the present
show case video will be online for sell.
Video information, reviews and links to the-
'Urban Male' website will be posted on varies
websites associated with adult entertainment.
Begin online discussion and chatrooms on the
videos.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 Basic marketing and selling: Buying advertising space in local and national-
adult entertainment weekly and monthly-
publications. Selling tapes to varies video outlet
stores and chains that provide adult entertainment.
Most video outlets do some sort of advertising of
their stock, specifically of new items. This will give
'Urban Male' free press of it's videos.
Sponsored events at adult entertainment clubs and
bars, show casing the videos and performers.
Mailing out tapes to video critics and major adult
performers who have influence in the community-
and who can spread the word on 'Urban Male'-
videos.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Filming, post and pre-production.
All 'Urban Male' videos will be filmed (taped) with 'Hi 8' mm and 'digital 8' mm cameras to ensure the highest quality possible. As finances permit, 'Sony' 1 inch and a quarter broadcast cameras and equipment will be used. All videos will be professionally shot, blocked and staged, backed by my years of experienced. Every detail will be measured and taken care of including sets, locations, wardrobe, scripts, art direction, lighting, grooming of performers and dialogue.
Videos will be professionally edit on a Macintosh workstation, this will give us the chance to add any enhancements and special effects to the videos. Posters, video boxes and print layouts will be done in house. We have access to 3 Macintosh workstations, and professional photography equipment. Most tape dubbing from the master edit and printing for the video boxes and other print material will be commissioned out to a second party.
4 scripts are in the works:
1 'CarJacks', about a group of young thugs who take a car for a joy ride and encounter-
the many escapades of the car's owner and his friends sexual adventures.
2 'A Dawgs Life', (this is basically a continuance from 'CarJacks'). More of a
documentary on the life and style of hardcore thugs, living the life of a
'Dawg'. We take a look at what they wear, how they act, talk, where
they hang out and how they 'hit it' (dawg slang for having sex) with
one another.
3 'Madd Flava', about a hip hop record producer and his partner. The two encounter
the many fine young men who will do most any thing for a #1 on -
'Billboards' hot 100. (this video will be shot like a behind the scenes
documentary).
4 'Madd Flava 2', about a young man who's so obsessed with the current R&B
heartthrob that he wishes this new music sensation into his fantasies.
R&B's newest sensation magically emerges from a poster on the
wall and all sexual hell breaks lose.
Urban Male videos will be made to showcase the talent and sexual adventures of young men for men who enjoy the exotic allure of men of color.
(Great talent and fine men come in all ethnic groups, and Urban Male will cast the best young men available no matter his ethnic background or race).
