Alec Knight: Skills That Pay the Bills
It is not uncommon for porn directors to act, too, or for actors to become directors (including great ones). Some industry pros also work in multiple behindthe-scenes roles, such as marketing and sales. Alec Knight, however, has a skill set that is unique, in that he is an art school graduate with both traditional 2D and computer design skills. With the tough economic times, his breadth and depth in two very different areas has kept him working as others abandon the industry for cosmetician training, cell phone sales positions or whatever jobs are available.

Naked Ambition
For NakedSword, 2010 may very well go down in history not only as the year in which the San Francisco-based company celebrated its 13th anniversary, but also, as the year in which it seriously expanded into producing original content.

But with the launching of “Golden Gate,” which Valenti describes as “an episodic weekly series about the sex lives of men in San Francisco,” NakedSword is making original content a high priority.
