TBFE Update And Booking Out The Summer

TBFE Update and Booking Out Summer!

We haven’t done a general update in quite a while, so I figured it was time to update on everything TBFE.

New Releases:

First, I’ll update the “new releases” section on the website shortly. We’ve got one shoot that isn’t up there with preview pics. Other than what’s represented already, we’ve got three films yet to shoot, and I’ll put placeholders in there with actresses marking those out as well. They are a Kayla Summers WW, a Harper Catwoman, and a Coco Supergirl.

Customs:

We’re rolling into spring/summer a little late this year, but we’ve got some actresses in the books preliminarily who are looking to come up, with time available for anyone who is interested. This is the next 3-5 months. Anyone listed here is available if you’re interested in submitting a script to get shot when they arrive!

Kira Fox – Days Available

Alysia C Moon – Days Available

Coco – 1 Day Available

Bella Rolland – Days Available

Those are the shoots that are already booked or in the process of scheduling.

I’ll sweeten the pot a bit to make it more advantageous for any talent coming in. I’ll cover all travel and lodging through September for any submissions I receive. We usually put the talent up in a hotel that costs $350 per night and cover the cost of a round-trip flight, which typically ranges from $300 to $800, depending on where they’re coming from. As I mentioned, I’ll cover it through September as we want to bring some talent into town and get some projects shot!

New Talent:

New talent: I never know how to handle this, especially nowadays. New talent doesn’t typically last longer than 3-5 months at any of the agencies before they decide to create an OF or go out on their own, but here is the current list of agencies we work with if anyone is interested in investing in a custom project and wants to take a look:

As is always the case with new talent we haven’t shot, it’s a series of inquiries, and we’re always willing to do it. However, it’s not as simple as picking someone and expecting them to show up! There is a process. We need to reach out, represent the project, and inquire about interest.

Lately, we’ve had some good luck reaching out to OF girls or independent content creators, and we’re very willing to connect if anyone has a recommendation. However, please come with measured expectations here as well. The actresses must see the value of traveling weighed against their income before they come out.

Just Pitching An Idea:

I want to pitch an idea TBFE has been considering but hasn’t acted on, mainly due to logistics and time involvement. I’m just looking to generate conversation. Here’s the idea: If I were to post a TBFE-written synopsis or treatment that already features a chosen actress and costume, how likely would anyone be to offer financing if provided with an easy link? Naturally, if someone is looking to prefund this type of project, they would be interested in the idea, the actress, and/or the character already. For anyone commenting on this, that’s part one of the idea, and objectively easy enough to accomplish.

The second part of the idea is to determine a smooth way to integrate content requests into the aforementioned type of project. Content requests would likely have limitations in both content and timing, making it logistically challenging to incorporate them into the script, which is why I haven’t pursued this to date. Additionally, content requests would likely come with a minimum donation level, probably related to the request itself and subject to a financially tiered system based on the nature of the content request. Furthermore, there are the opinions of individuals who’ve already pre-funded a project like this but don’t favor the proposed and financed ideas. All these details would need to be resolved, and much of this is just brainstorming.

The thinking behind any of this is that many individuals can’t afford to fund their ideas fully, and I acknowledge that financial conditions are tightening. In a perfect world, regardless of their financial constraints, everyone could participate and have at least some ideas filmed. So, feel free to recommend ideas that go beyond what I just mentioned. Part one of this idea is easily executed, but I’m honestly unsure how much interest or financing would come from it. Part two of the idea will generate more conversation, and there will be folks that want to see it happen. Still, there are numerous logistical layers and complications that, while incorporating everybody’s ideas is a great concept in theory, may not be feasible. As I said, feel free to discuss this. Hopefully something can come of it.

Distortion-X

Distortion-X – I know a bunch of folks have asked about DX, but the reality is that I was never counting on marketing DX through the same channels as TBFE. TBFE is a niche market, while DX is designed to be a bit more mainstream. It’s a different marketing strategy. Reality Bytes is the same company that produces all this stuff, so I put out a teaser on the channels that market TBFE. For what it’s worth and if the project ever gets off the ground, I will put a blurp on Heroine News or at the very least, mass email.

The main holdup with the project is that I haven’t decided how I want to fund it. I’m unsure if I want to make it customer-created or pursue something investor-based. An independent project like DX doesn’t recoup solely from back sales unless it’s bundled into a subscription with other projects or represented by a larger entity. Unfortunately, I don’t have these kinds of deep pockets to tap into.

The original concept for DX was to create another project that traveling talent could work on, potentially growing a social presence that would enable cross-promotion and marketing opportunities for talent. It also provides another platform for customers to share their ideas. All this sounds good in theory, but launching it now is challenging, mainly since many other adult sites are producing similar content already. If the unique aspect of DX is that it’s customer-funded and created, and as we all know, everyone’s budget is tightening, I’m uncertain if this will get off the ground. I haven’t developed a marketing strategy or an appropriate online blast, but we’ll see. At the very least, that’s where things stand with the project.

Other Studio Stuff:

The studio received a gear update, and we’re shooting native 6k with full frame capabilities on Black Magic cameras with a host of different available lenses, even some vintage in there! I’ll be cutting over to a wide-screen format in the next shoot we do, which should translate to a more cinematic look. We have a triple-axis stabilizer, tripods, shoulder mounts, a body vest and mechanical stabilizer, multiple GoPros, a B, C, and D camera if necessary for multi-cam shoots, and a 4 K drone for outside shots. We’ve even retooled our post-production setup with a workflow integrating Davinci Resolve into the color grading portion, and we now include AI-generated footage to expand the universe. We’ve done our best to prepare for any scenario, and more importantly, to bring your ideas to life.
