Julie Meadows is an adult film actor who lives in the San Fernando Valley with her husband of 10 years and their eight-year-old son. Her bungalow is like all the other bungalows in the valley. She drops her son off at school, sweeps the hallway, makes coffee, pays taxes and does what everyone else does. Her job is a little different than most, performing explicit sexual acts for a multimillion dollar adult film industry.

She was asked if she’s encountered "mainstream" film workers plying their expertise in the adult film industry. "The thing with adults (films) is directors are given just so much of a budget. Film is much more expensive than video so video is usually used. And, the problem with video is that it shows every little crease and crevice in your face.

"So when it comes to lighting, if they can make the video look like film - great. That’s perfect, that’s what people are going for. Everybody wants quality but that’s the problem with adult - it’s quantity and lack of quality."

She says she encounters mainstream feature film people taking part in adult films, but not very often. "People in mainstream don’t want mainstream people to cross over into adult films. And the people in adult don’t want adult people to cross over," she says.
