NYC porn biz revival

http://www.dazereader.com/24000909.htm TimeOut New York looks at the state of the NYC porn video industry.

Though they may not all involve sunsets and panoramas, scenes like this are increasingly being repeated around town. After a long dormant period bordering on nonexistent, New York City’s adult-film industry has woken up—with a hard-on. Of course, the local industry—which includes at least nine companies, each producing a handful of movies a year—is still dwarfed by the business in the San Fernando Valley, where about 150 companies churn out 10,000 titles a year and rake in an estimated $7 billion. But in an age when anyone with access to a camera and the Internet can be an adult filmmaker, NYC has become a breeding ground for a distinctive brand of smut. “There’s a punk, underground attitude here, due to a lack of money, that you don’t get on the West Coast,” says Kenny Law, an editor at the newly revamped porn periodical Screw. “It’s real and relatable. It’s not just some palm trees swaying in the wind.”
