Canadian documentary maker Sheona McDonald from Dimestore Productions got a commission to make a pilot for a documentary about Woman and porn. Over the last years woman became much more active in the porn industry. As producers and as end users.
After the sudden success of the novel ‘Fifty shades of grey’ from by the British author E. L. James and the popularity of Dusk TV, a special Dutch channel that broadcasts women porn 24 hours a day, women and porn are definitely in the spotlight.
For many years porn has been totally heterosexual and male orientated. With the new market of female end users, the approach changes completely. Dusk TV already came up with a new name for female porn: ‘porna’.
For the pilot Sheona McDonald interviews the founder and the director of Dusk TV and American women porn producer/director Jennifer Lyon Bell, who is based in Amsterdam.
For this production Featurez booked a cameraman, organised equipment, did the set-up and planning and accompanied the filming.
