Director B. Skow Sits Down For Interview With AVN

Legendary director B. Skow recently inked a deal with Girlfriends Films, and he sat down for an interview with AVN (link below) to discuss his views on what makes truly good porn.

"I think the events in your life inspire great sex. And I think making a movie about what is your worst time, is your worst fucking day, and the worst thing that can happen to you—if you're fucking, you're happy—or it brings you out of it. So I think that's my way of coming at an idea for a movie, is how do I get out of this pain or perversions, what would I like to do, and then build around that."

When asked about bringing personal experiences into his work, Skow said

 "It's 100 percent personal. It's your imagination. You know, you're living out your imagination with other people. So it definitely has to be something you can relate to, or that you can read about and relate to, or study and relate to. If you don't relate to it, you usually don't make a good movie."

He also addressed the difficulties inherent in adding four or five sex scenes into a film

 "I've shot three or four hundred movies or more, probably way more. So it's always about the sex, it's about what do I think the guys want to look at or what's going to lead someone into jerking off by watching what I'm doing. … You know, I always start with that. Like I said, if you're going to be successful or you're going to make good movies, you have to accept what you're doing and do it the right way."

Skow is also optimistic about the future of the industry

"The industry seems to be going back in a way of making good product," says Skow. Describing the thousands of scenes that are available online—some which are many years old—Skow compares them to hearing the same stupid songs repeated endlessly on the radio. But then, he says: "Suddenly you see Steven Tyler on American Idol and now people are buying Aerosmith! So you have to be exposed to something," concludes Skow. "Girlfriends is like that. Dan created this, I mean, really odd sort of way of making a movie. It really is a unique way that he shoots these movies. And he stuck with it, he loved it."
