Comments on: Why Porn Agents Became The Norm https://mikesouth.com/mike-south-commentary/why-porn-agents-became-the-norm-7873/ The institute for the advance study of insensitivity and pornography Thu, 06 Jul 2023 07:23:19 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.1 By: rawalex https://mikesouth.com/mike-south-commentary/why-porn-agents-became-the-norm-7873/#comment-9700 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 11:29:57 +0000 http://www.mikesouth.com/?p=7873#comment-9700 I guess the issue of a union or guild is that in an industry that is already suffering from a severe downturn and loss of income, the last thing you need is another group with their hand out every time someone works.

When the margins on a porn shoot are already getting to be very small, adding another $100 here or $100 there of expense isn’t going to make anyone happy, because it comes very directly out of someone’s pocket – and likely the performers.

yer experiences are respected JimmyD but you are about the only director who has told me he didnt have an ongoing issue with talent making call times….says a lot about how the talent felt about you I expect….kudos on that….as for Reb, we didn’t like each other…its cool neither of us is universally loved LOL

Jim would do that? wow thats crazy….Like I said I only judge Reb from my personal exp3eriences with him, he didn’t much like me either but if your opinions differ thats OK I aint tryin to change anyones mind. he is long gone and very few in porn today even have a clue who reuben Sturman was much less Reb Sawitz/Schwants

The reason Reb was closed on Friday’s was because Jim South had a nasty habit of sending the police to his office and arrest him for pandering ON FRIDAYS! That way he would be forced to spend the entire weekend in jail before he could see a judge on monday morning. True story. Reb and Jerry were very good people and they do not deserve to be lambasted here or elsewhere, period!

And just for the record, Reb may have been a really bad businessman and not the best agent but he helped a bunch of people in very caring and concerned ways. Shailar and Catherine being just two of them.

Your version of porn agent history is flawed. And who the fuck is Brett Rossi? I may not be too active these days but I was there, in a big way, through the entire period you’re talking about. And btw, there was never a major problem with girls being dependable. I’m not saying it didn’t sometimes happen but, for the most part, they didn’t need drivers because they got themselves to sets. The problem regarding flakes being a big problem didn’t start until there were a bunch of agents, the very people you credit with solving the problem of dependability.

I had too many bad experiences with sending talent to Reb back in the day thats what my opinion is based on, your milage may vary of course but there are far worse people in porn theses days I will give ya that

Reb and Jerry were AWESOME!!!! Though I was officially with Jim South, Reb and Jerry were like family to me and they took in Shailar Kobe and his wife when they had nowhere else to go!!! Not just them, either!!! Reb really cared about his talent and NEVER tried to take advantage of ANY of them (neither did Jim) …Hey Mike, if you can tell me why Reb wasn’t open on friday’s I’ll read about your opinion of him.
