The Adult Choice

Before he announced that he was retiring from performing to focus on producing, I sat down (via email) with Collin O’Neal to get an idea what his mental process is like, as well as some of the hurdles he encounters, when he produces movies for his World Of Men Series and website. Below is part 1 of 2 of our conversation … it might be a bit long (for this site, at least) but it’s definitely worth a read for anyone who’s interested in knowing about how porn is made outside the studio system.

What are the biggest obstacles you face when making porn overseas?

When I first had the idea in my head of making porn in foreign countries with never-before-seen models I knew there would be some obstacles, but they can be filed into two categories: models and locations.

Picking up from where we left off yesterday, here’s the conclusion of our two-part interview with Collin O’Neal where Collin gives us insight into his casting process as well as some obstacles working with models who don’t necessarily identify as “gay”.

Where and how do you find your models?

I find my models mainly via gay social networking websites like BigMuscle, Gaydar, and GayRomeo. I met Pedro and Daniel from Sao Paulo and Miami, and Said from Lebanon over the net. There are a few times I meet guys on the street or in clubs like Jacko from Lebanon who I met in a café in Aleppo, a city in Northern Syria and then I met my exclusive Francisco Rey, while he was cleaning the pool of our hotel in the Dominican Republic. I am very shy in person, so it is very hard for me to just walk up to guys and pop the porn question.
