Is it amateur?
Hey all, Tim, aka Farrell, here... seen some comments about whether or not some of our stuff is "amateur" so thought I should jump in to clarify.
For the record, Homegrown does know the difference between true blue shot at home Saturday night and a six pack style amateur porn and the more professional variety. We don't try and hide the fact or mislead in any way; Homegrown was founded on that type of stuff, in fact it was the first to distribute true amateur vids, and even though it seems harder and harder to find these days we still do our best to keep it alive.
But...
We had to keep up with market trends and try and find our own way in the deep dark forests of pro-am, gonzo, reality style content and over the years we have launched lines that did feature more "pro" style amateur stuff. We do our best to make it clear which is which. Some like one. Some the other. Still others love or hate everything we do. All we can do is just do our best to make almost everyone happy and keep to one abiding all encompassing ideal, namely, that the folks in our scenes are having a genuine good time.
Often times, we do get submittals from people that are just starting out. Three months later and they become superstars that everyone has seen on every site or dvd out there. We think amateur porn fans are smart enough to see, and feel, the difference between that fresh first time experience and the more practiced and perfected performance. If someone goes on to be a big star then more power to her or him. We take pride in saying that we knew them "when".
