9TO5 – DAYS IN PORN
by Jens Hoffmann
Germany 2008 Digital Betacam 114 min. Engl. OV Germ. ST

San Fernando Valley is the epicentre of the US adult entertainment industry. Billions of dollars are being made here, more than in the music business. Jens Hoffmann asks the people behind the sex business, who are they and what are their reasons to work in this field? Or is it a way of life? Ten stories unfold their "normal" life, their hopes and dreams. A teenager, who can’t wait to turn 18, in order to become a porn star; a married couple acting in hardcore films together, directing and producing films, a caring mother and wife performing extreme sex or the former punk and most-booked man in the valley. The demands of this kind of performance take their toll for sure; and a short time in this business can mean everything from beginning or end of a career or the normal life.
This is no voyeuristic porn-making of, but an unadorned and authentic glance behind the scenes.

„Where does a girl who hasn’t gone to college or even finished high school make more money than a doctor? Porn!“ (Mark Spiegler, Agent)
