Woodman Forum - chat with pierre woodman

Mr.Woodman,

I have to say that the first time I heard you were moving over to Hustler I was shocked. It was unexpected. Your work at Private was so brilliant.

Now, I am such a huge fan of your Hustler days. I loved the XXX series, not to mention Anal Intensive and Exxxotica(both great) You found some great girls in your days there!!

Do you have fond memories of your time with Hustler?
It seemed to me like you did an incredible amount of work in a relatively short period of time. As a fan I was very happy. You must have been exhausted,though.

Working for Larry Flynt must have been cool. Did you ever have a chance to pick each others brains? There are two true icons in the adult industry: Larry Flynt and Pierre Woodman--period!!!


Your fan, The Canadian.

Yes it was a great experience to work with Larry Flynt. We had many discutions together and I get the chance to be in his private plane near of him from Berlin to Paris ( I'll never forget this ! ). I love his daughter, his brother and his two nephews All of them are very kind with me.
Larry is very sick now and when I met him last summer he was not in good shape but he's lucky to be still alive after all what's happened to him !

That's very sad to hear about Larry. I hope he'll pull through.

I've recently read his Autobiography: An Unseemingly Man: My Life as a Pornographer, Pundit and Social Outcast. It was brilliant. Everybody in the adult industry owes him a debt of gratitude. He truly paved the way.

Did you every have a chance to discuss what's going on with the Internet---
especially the p2p parasites. I would be curious to hear his take on this.


Thanks for your time. Your fan, The Canadian.

What do you think he can said ??? Oh yeah it's great, today LFP video stopped to produce new material because 10 years ago at the beginnning we was saling 25000 dvds by new titles and today 500 which can't cover the production cost because the internet brough back 90 % less money than five year ago !
Hope it's clear for you like that, Larry will die with over one billion dollar on his bank account so he doesn't care so much now, but the porn is on the way of death if nothing change, because one billion it's also the number of monthly free download that do many free site with my videos inside !!!
So now, only a serious support from fans can change the destiny of some of ours in this industry because, personnaly I don't want loose money any longger...

I wasn't trying to piss you off,I was just asking what I thought was a harmless question. Sorry.

i do not really agree with you,
if you had set up your woodmancastingx website 5 years ago you would have a fortune to.
at the time a lot of pepole from the "old media" school were reluctant to release their content digitally,it allowed a lot of people like your friend sandy to fill in the gap and they did fortune too.
The offer is much more larger now and the money is more widespread.
10 years ago you only had 2,3 blockbusters company with public facade capturing a big part of the market.
You cannot now do big productions sold by one big company because their market share slimmed significantly and so their sales but the market size is ,at least,the same.

I didn't want be on the net before for protect my distributors and the shop who sale my DVD. It was a good strategy until 2005, but the fact people steal and copy my work have destroyed this !
You don't know all details about Sandy website as I do, and trust me it was not and still is not so easy to do what they do. It's a mad work who ask at least 50 employees.
It's not for me, I want be 100 % focus on what I do, and having lot of people in the box make you loose this possibility.

Separate topic related to Hustler but, Pierre, were you ever published in the magazine? I don’t recall seeing spreads like thise that appeared Private magazines. If no, why was that?

Regards

What years did you work for Hustler? Did you make casting videos?

I called PW "the guy that used to do casting for Hustler" on another message board and someone lied to me and said you only worked for Private.

I don't understand this question !!!
All planet knows I did 50 castings X being distributed by Private and 12 volumes distributed by Hustler ...
